Simon Says Stamp You Are My Favorite Release

Posted on by maryredjr

Welcome to day one of the You Are My Favorite release hop. Simon Says Stamp is offering a FREE gift when you order $30 or more from the new release. See the graphic below for details.

Sympathy cards can be some of the hardest to create, but also the most meaningful to send. Today, I am sharing a soft and subtle design using products from the new release at Simon Says Stamp. I thought these products were perfect for expressing heartfelt thoughts during difficult times.

I used the following Simon Says Stamp products used to create this card:

~Fresh Sprigs embossing folder

~Inside Greetings stamp set

~Fog card stock

I started by cutting a piece of Fog card stock to 4″ x 5 1/4.” I lightly spritzed it with water, placed it inside the Fresh Sprigs embossing folder and ran it through my Spellbinders Platinum machine.

Next, using finger daubers, I lightly inked up the flowers in Pawsitively Saturated ink in Dew and inked the greenery with Pearfection. I stamped the sentiment from the new Inside Greetings stamp set using Memento Tuxedo Black ink.

To finish the card, I adhered the completed panel to a top folding A2 card base.

If you are looking for a versatile sentiment set, Inside Greetings is a must have. It has a variety of sentiments and they are in such pretty fonts.

  13. Hi, Mary – You are such a dear person! I love your take on sympathy cards… what an odd thing to say, but it’s true. I think this is delicate and sensitive w/o being maudlin. I thought of getting this to make “thinking of you” cards. I always need loads of those. Great make!

  39. That’s a great card. I am going to pull out some fog and an embossing folder and try the finger dauber technique.

  46. Mary, the simplicity of this card really makes it. So many times sympathy cards or “thinking of you” cards can be over the top. I much prefer the more “quiet” ones. This is just beautiful! Thank you for sharing.
