Trees Planted Inspirational Card

Here is another card to offer support or encouragement to lift someone's spirits.

Sentiment:

Sometimes when you're in a dark place, you think you've been buried, but actually you've been planted.

I kept the trees and colors light and bright to help lift up spirits.  These kinds of card are the most difficult to make, but good sentiments help for when you don't know what to say.  At least for me that is true.

Monarch Butterfly Sympathy or Support Card

Here is a card for sympathy or support.

It features a monarch butterfly.

Sentiment:  The only people who think there's a time limit for grief have never lost a piece of their heart.  Take all the time you need.

I love the heartfelt sentiment.  I think this card is great for when it is difficult to find words.

Folksy Partridge Bird Christmas Card

Here is an early Christmas or winter holiday handmade card featuring a colorful folksy partridge bird.

Sentiment:  'tis the season.

For me, it's never to early to chip away at the handmade holiday cards.

I kept this one bright and cheerful, embossed the background and added rhinestones.

Supplies include Unity Stamp Of The Week Folksy Partridge and My Creative Time dies.

Have a lovely day.

Butterfly and Flowers Birthday with Foil

Here is a birthday card with pink flowers and a butterfly, accented with rose gold foil.

Sentiment:  May your birthday be full of your favorite things.

And a closer look at the foil.

I used a deco foil pen along with deco foil in rose gold.  It leaves the look of embossing but without machines.  The butterfly also sparkles in real life.  I trimmed and placed the flowers with foam.

Sending many thanks and appreciation to parents, teachers and all those who help build up young minds and hearts.
