Sympathy Thank You Cards

I made a few Thank You's for my Aunt to give out to those that helped in the care and those that have been kind whilst Uncle Billy was still with us, also a few to go out for the arrangements of the funeral.

I kept them simple by using the Flourish sympathy stamp by Papertrey Ink and wording from Everyday Blessings Papertrey Ink, I used the Nestabilities Label Four for the matting of the words, the insert was printed with the wording Heartfelt Thanks.

I thought the simple wording was quite apt.

Flippin' Christmas - Coming Soon

I just can't begin to tell you how excited I am to be releasing the new Flippin' Christmas Range of decoupage, not only do you get a decoupage sheet but you also get a FREE! yes I did say FREE! backing sheet.

Now when I say backing sheet I it has to be said tongue in cheek because quite honestly this is a piece of art in itself the attention to detail is amazing and as an extra bonus you get a verse too.

Methinks we at La Pashe are just spoiling you.

Below is one of the background sheets I thought I'd let you have a peek.

There are 4 new designs that will be released next week

This is the Flippin'Christmas Peace

One of our Office Staff; Michael Reay asked if he could make up one of the cards, seeing as Michael has never made a card before I was intrigued to see how he would get on.

I think he did fabulous and it just goes to show that even the newest crafter can make a stunning card with our range.

Nestabilities Penguin

Get out those Nestabilities girls and give these a whirl, or better still see what animal you can make, we've had the owls, this time it is penguins, made with Nestabilities ovals, quite a nice little stocking filler.

Another variation of the penguin made with the smaller ovals

Punched Owl Notebook

Owl notebooks made with Stampin Up punches.

My friend Toni made a couple of these little beauties and brought them along to our weekend away, of course she made them for Peejay who collects owls and from the minute I saw them I loved them so here is my version of them.

I bought the notebook and covered it in a brown card then added papers and ribbon.

Tools used

Stampin Up; Punches Round Tab & Scallop Oval. (head, wings and belly)

Nesabilities; Round Scallop (body)

Circle Punches; 3/4" and 1/2" (eyes)

5 petal flower punch (feet & beak)

So after making one there was no stopping me and I found these sleepy looking goggle eyes and they work perfectly.

Sympathy Card

One of the cards that we all dread having to make but the sentiment (PTI Stamp) on this made the card a little easier to put together.

It was made for my dear Uncle's Billie's wife Elaine, he lost his battle against cancer on Friday morning. We are taking comfort in the fact that he is now out of his pain.
