InspireINK Blog Hop | With Sympathy….

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah for the July InspireINK blog hop! I am super excited to be getting stuck into some crafting again after 6 months of very little inspiration (or energy) and then a big craft room move (more of which I will share soon!). This month’s InspireINK blog hop’s theme is Sympathy, which is never the easiest occasion to craft for, and I have to admit to going slightly off-piste with this card. However, I think it would totally work for a sympathetic occasion, or just a ‘thinking of you’ even.

This card uses the Thoughtful Journey Suite, and a piece of the fabulous Basic Beige card stock (seriously, cannot put this away!). The background is embossed using the Layered Florals 3D Embossing Folder, which is so pretty, which I then distressed slightly with a nail file.

All the layers on this card are die cut using the Thoughtful Wishes dies, and cut from the Thoughtful Journey Designer Series Paper. The sentiment is also from the coordinating stamp set, and although the words are joined in a line on the stamp, I preferred the stacked look on this one.

Quick Handmade Sympathy Card using Stampin’ Up! Products

Hey folks! Just a quick blog post from me today. I made a few of these cards a few weeks ago when we sadly lost James’s 100 year old Nannie. As I was filming the day I made them, I decided that I would jump on and film these as well, so here we are. A type of card we often need, but never really want to make.

How to made a quick Sympathy card using Painted Poppies and Peaceful Moments from Stampin' Up! with StampinByHannah

These use the Painted Poppies stamp set, along with Peaceful Moments. These two stamp sets were part of the same suite a few years ago, and still work really well together. The background uses the Birch background stamp, and I’ve also added a Stitched So Sweetly die cut because I can’t create without these at the moment!

Advant Garden meets Rose Wonder

Sympathy Card using Avant Garden and Rose Garden from Stampin' Up! UK

Sometimes we have to make cards we don’t like, sometimes we have to make sad cards, cards that are hard to make not because its a technique we struggle with but because its for a sad occasion… this was me last week. Last week I lost my grandfather after a year long battle with Cancer, I don’t write sad blog posts, I write happy smiley blog posts about happy crafting… but this card might be the hardest card I have ever had to make.

I made two of these, one for my dad and the other for my Aunt. They are super simple, but what is more heartfelt than a hand stamped card.

The flower is from Avant Garden (FREE during Sale-a-bration, all you need to do to claim your copy is spend £45 in my Online Store before 31st March) while the sentiments are taken from Rose Wonder…. a set which I had totally not realised has several sentiments perfect for sad occasions, I had only managed to see the wedding side of this stamp set before.

I have to say though, the only thing harder than making these cards was writing in them…

For some things there are just no words…..

Gifts of Love | Sympathy Card

Sympathy card watercoloured gifts of love card using Stampin' Up! UK products

A few weeks ago I shared my Quick and Easy Sympathy card that I like to keep on hand, but sometimes you need an extra special card to sent to someone in their worst moments.

The Gifts of love stamp set is just so pretty, and its lovely watercoloured. The sentiment is from the Rose Wonder stamp set, and is stamped in Garden Green and heat embossed in clear. This is one of my favourite ways to use Vellum, because Stampin’ Up! ink drys more slowly on Vellum that it does on card stock you can add clear embossing powder to create coloured heat embossing.

Gifts of Love is one of the current hostess stamp sets; these sets are exclusively available for purchase with your Stampin’ Rewards. Stampin’ Rewards are awarded to party hostesses or individuals posting orders of over £150, and must be redeemed in the order in which they are earned. You can find all the current hostess sets HERE.

The background Designer Series Paper is from the Fancy Frost Speciality Designer Series Paper pack. This paper comes as white sheets, each one with a different texture, I watercoloured it here in Pool Party to match the card base and watercolour around the flowers.

Question of the day: What type of cards do you make most? Me, I make more Thank you cards than any other kinda, although I’m sure that balance has tipped over to Christmas cards at the moment!

How to …. Make a Quick and Simple Sympathy Card

How to video tutorial quick and easy simple sympathy card using Rose Wonder from Stampin' Up! UK

There are some cards that we should always have on hand; birthday cards, congratulations, Thank you… for me a With Sympathy card falls into that ‘must have’ category. However I found a couple of weeks ago that I didn’t have one when I really needed one (so of course I whipped one up) and so I thought I would share a Quick and Easy sympathy card for you to either make in a hurry, or make and keep on hand for those sad occasions.

Smoky Slate

Emerald Envy

Wisteria Wonder

I’m loving that colour combination too, although the Wisteria Wonder hasn’t translated awfully well in the photograph

What do you do when you need a card in a hurry?
