With Sincere Sympathy

Daisies remind me of life's simple joys and happy memories! I chose the theme of daisies to create a sympathy card and of course, Eyelet Outlet, had just what I needed!

I created this simple sympathy card by first applying various texture stamps with distress inks on white cardstock. Next I added the wide floral washi tape across the center of my card. I added the paper flowers in white and yellow and used all 3 sizes for dimension. I added a center yellow brad for some pop! Next, I decided to pull the blue from the washi tape and use that color for my sentiment. Lastly, I embellished with a row of 3 blue brads from the Summer brad mix! I hope you enjoy!

Hi EO fans! Today I'm featuring two of our new sets for 2021. They are the Feline and the Colored Daisy Sets. There are two cats in different poses. The daisies come in two style and three colors: hot pink, yellow and coral. What I love is that these are perfect to pose in many scenes. Case in point, they work perfectly in this grassy scene. 

The card style I used today is a shadow box slimline card. The thing I have grown to love about slimline cards is that there is much more real estate to build a scene with. A few simple cuts in a shadowbox card suddenly creates all kinds of opportunities to tell a story. 

Below is a little closer look. Notice how the cats are perfectly proportioned to the bird house and fence. Look for these kinds of opportunities in your stash to add our brads to. It's a nice way to add color, texture and definitely more interest than you can get with stamps or die cuts.

Just Sitting Here

It's Kim from Katydid Cards and it's my turn to post on Eyelet Outlet today!  Here's the card I made just because I wanted to use the adorable Squirrel Brads:

We have squirrels galore in our yard and, although many people consider them a nuisance, I really love to watch them.  The pose on this little fella is my favorite...when they sit up with their little paws holding an acorn.  I had this bench image which I thought would be a perfect place for Mr. Squirrel to sit.  I placed some greenery behind the bench for contrast, but the main attraction is certainly the Squirrel Brad.  Across the bottom, the greeting is typed using the AlwaysHere font.  Here's a closer look at the squirrel:

I matted the focal image on an oval of Cajun Craze and placed that on acorn patterned paper by Stampin' Up...not sure the name of the collection; it's old.  The card base is cut from Sahara Sand using a cut file purchased in the Silhouette store.

Inside the sentiment was typed using the same font on an oval with the bench off to the side as an accent and another squirrel.  I sponged the edges with Cajun Craze to finish.

And that does it!
