Pet Sympathy Lots of Love Sympathy Card with Eloise

Hi everyone, Eloise here and today I have a card to share using the Pet Sympathy stamp set and coordinating dies. This set is very versatile and can be used for various occasions. Today I'll be using it as a sympathy set - but the possibilities are endless.

To begin my card, I used a stencil I made to ink blend the background. I cut down a piece of white cardstock, and laid my stencil over top. To make this stencil I used the Stitched Heart Dies (the little ones included in the set) and cut out a random pattern of them out of some acetate. Once I had a nice arrangement of them, the stencil was done and I can use it. Using acetate means you can use it over and over again! I used some Festive Berries Distress Ink and ink blended over it, going darker in the centre and lighter on the outside. 

Once my background was done I stamped my images onto some more white cardstock and coloured them in with Copic markers. Once the colouring was done I used the coordinating dies to cut them out.

I adhered my images with foam tape onto my background and then stamped the sentiment below with black ink. I adhered my panel onto a card base that I adhered some green plaid patterned paper on top of and that finished up my card for today. 

I hope you enjoyed, got inspired to create your own stencil with dies and I'll catch you next week.

Pet Sympathy Masked Heart Puppy Sympathy Card with Vanessa

Hi everyone! Vanessa here with a sympathy card for a pet owner. It is difficult to create these type of cards, but the Pet Sympathy set makes it easy for you.

For my card, I started with a panel of watercolor paper. I masked off a heart shape and applied various red and pink inks with an ink blending tool. After I had removed the mask, I stamped the sentiment and the little hearts and adhered the panel to the card.

Now I stamped the puppy, colored it with Copics and die-cut it with the coordinating dies. Finally, I added matching sequins.

I hope you liked today's inspiration! Thanks for visiting!

Pet Sympathy Angel Puppy Shaker Card with Nancy

Hey there everyone, Nancy here today with a shaker full of love highlighting the Pet Sympathy stamp and coordinating die set. I love that this set features both cats and dogs - the angel wings don't hurt either. These are perfect for sending a heartfelt sentiment for the loss of beloved pet. 

I started this card by stamping the stitched heart randomly on the base of the card. A few of the hearts were painted with watercolors for a soft look and a punch of color. The smaller stitched rectangle was die cut with a heart directly in the center to create a window for the shaker. Next, I used Distress Inks in Chipped Sapphire, Tumbled Glass and Broken China to create the ink blended background. The sentiment was stamped in black and the back was popped up with foam tape and filled with clear crystals and blue sequins. 

The sweet dog was colored with Distress Inks for a soft, watercolored effect. A pair of angel wings was affixed to the back and he was placed on a bed of vellum clouds. 

The sweet look of this card is sure to bring some comfort to a friend experiencing a loss. Take a closer look at the Pet Sympathy stamp and die set for the pet lovers in your life.

Guest Designer Spotlight: Fall Cards with Jennifer McGuire

We're so excited to welcome Jennifer McGuire to the blog today as our special guest. She has some gorgeous cards that you are going to just love! 

For today's card she's sharing techniques using masking to create clean, crisp images with colorful backgrounds and a bit of texture using our Pretty Pumpkins & Autumn Greetings sets.

You can view Jennifer's video below (or in HD at our YouTube channel HERE).

To start, Jennifer stamped her layered images in the center of her card.  Next, she used an embossing pad along with two circle dies to make an impression around her focal point image.

She then used the coordinating die with masking material to mask off her pumpkin and the the outside of the circle, leaving the negative space to ink with twisted citron and pealed paint distress oxide inks.  When she was done she added some sparkle to the stem and pumpkin shadows using Wink of Stella's clear glitter pen.  Little touches like that go such a long way to really make your images pop.

For her pumpkins today Jennifer stamped them using the following ink combinations:

• Altenew Sunkissed
• Altenew Orange Cream
• Altenew Firebrick
• Gina K Jelly Bean Green
• Gina K Green Grass

Up next, we have a similar card, this time adding a little broken china ink to the top portion of the circle. 

For all her envelopes, she paired a matching green envelope with a simple stamped sentiment using our Autumn Greetings stamps.

For Jennifer's third Pumpkin themed card, she took her masking up a step and layered three pumpkin images starting with stamping the smallest pumpkin in the front and then using masks with the coordinating dies to work her way to the biggest pumpkin in the back.

For her background she cut a frame using Hero Art's Nesting Postage Stamps Infinity Dies and inked the center with antique linen distress oxide ink.

Here's another look at all three cards using this fun technique...

As a little bonus, Jennifer used the same double masking technique for a sweet card with our Pet Sympathy set.

She started by stamping and coloring the dog, then covered it with a mask cut using the coordinating die and then used a second mask of post it tape to ink up the ground and wall behind the pup using peeled paint and broken china distress oxide inks.

When she was done, she added nuvo drops to the nose and eyes and glossy accents to the heart for a bit of shine.

Thank you Jennifer for sharing your talents with us and for your sweet support of our little company.  You are a treasure and we love you lots!
