Soothing Sympathy

CCMC358

Indeed, for life will always have the same end to all of us, and my mother always says that this is the only certainty in life. Sympathy cards are not fun to make, but they can have a soothing, calming, and something even be a bit happy looking.

I truly like the color combination from Create with Connie and Mary challenge 358 and honestly I will be using this combo more often. Today, however, I chose a Sympathy card, so I can have some at hand in case I need one. The sentiment is from the Love & Sympathy set and that beautiful image is from the Moon Lake stamp set. The Lullaby DSP gave the bit of "texture" that I was looking for and the Lost Lagoon Ribbon finished it all up elegantly. Hope you enjoyed today's card and perhaps will try using this combination in your next project.

Thanks for visiting today. Be well

Sooth your soul.



How do we arrive at the wish to make a Sympathy card? Well, for me it is impossible not to feel some sympathy and sadness when any life is lost and particularly now with the earth quake in Nepal when so many lives were taken. I hope the survivors find peace and comfort during this difficult time.

Inspirations for today's card - layout and color that is - are from the Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge 266 and the colors are from the Splitcoast Stampers Color challenge 528. Some of the materials used are soon going to retire and others are already retired. The Beautiful Wings Embosslits, Window Framelits Collection, Painted Petals, and Love & Sympathy stamp set are all going to retire as of June 2nd. If you like them, this may be your final chance to get them. The background paper is a retired DSP.
I hope you will find inspiration here today. Go ahead, get some of those retiring products and let the creative juices flow freely. Thanks for visiting today. Be well.

Memories....


As I prepare this post, I listen to a song that reminds me of a time long gone, that left in me moments to cherish forever.

Miriam Castanho Bollinger, #mstampinwithyou, stampin up, demonstrator, rs 150, pocket full of posies dsp, love & sympathy, perpetual birthday calendar, big shot, apothecary accents framelit, best of flowers, su

Good times, good memories, good friends, is all what we all are left with. Those things are what gives meaning to life and it is wonderful to think of them, laugh, cry, and rejoice with each memory. Today's card is an entry for the Retroscketches challenge 150, and I decided for a Sympathy card.  I used some retired products to keep with the theme of something gone, but not forgotten. The stamp is from the Best of Flowers, the paper is Pocketfull of Posies. The little butterflies is from the new Perpetual Birthday Calendar stamp set, and the sentiment is from Love & Sympathy stamp set.
I hope your heart is full of sweet memories, wonderful friends, and great moments to cherish forever. Enjoy the nostalgic feeling they bring!

Warmth Sympathy.


DSC#105 

At this time of the year, it is hard for me not to stare in space thinking that I can almost smell the salty ocean and feel the warm breeze that emanates from it. Just to be shaken into reality that the temperature is not conducive to that.

Miriam Castanho Bollinger, mstampinwithyou, stampin up, demonstrator, dsc105, sssc242, papillon potpourri, love & sympathy, I love lace, elegant butterfly, bitty butterfly, tator,

Nonetheless, the colors at the Dostamper Stars Challenge 105  gave me some chance to feel and smell all that. I combined those beautiful colors with the sketch from Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge 242. Bermuda Bay, says it all, but combine with the Tangerine Tango makes it all perfect. Why did I use a Sympathy sentiment? Well, I believe that a person in grief can benefit from some warmth. The Papillon Potpourri stamp set and the coordinating punches gave the correct amount of touch, keeping the card simple. The sentiment I took from Love & Sympathy stamp set and that beautiful background is from the I Love Lace background stamp and it was the perfect touch.

And there are more inspiration for this sketch. Check them out:

There is a time for everything - Gold Soiree


PPA214 Island Indigo Crisp Cantaloupe Wild Wasabi


Yes, there is a time for everything. Because of that, today's card touches up the time when we depart from the earth. Recently a dear friend of mine lost her husband and it was a deeply saddened moment in the lives of the family and friends. However, he lived well and there was plenty to celebrate and memories to keep. I used the color combo from Pals Paper Arts challenge 214 and the sketch from Freshly Made Sketch challenge 148 to produce this card. While for a sad moment, I hope such a card can bring a sense of warmth to a grieving person.

The Gold Soiree Specialty DSP is simply gorgeous! The patterns are subtle and the colors marvelous. It set a good and peaceful ground for the card and anchored everything together. Love it.

The tiny butterfly gave the final touch.   It's simple to do with the Big Shot Die Cutting Machine and the Beautiful Wings Embosslits Die.  Did you see the Big Shot Special Offer?

PP 193 - Love & Sympathy

Greetings,


I saw the sketch that the team at The Paper Players had for this week and for some reason gave me a sense of stillness. A beautiful layout that can be as energetic as many, but today I follow my first feeling and pulled out the Love & Sympathy stamp set. It is not easy to prepare a sympathy card, however I hope that such a card will sooth and calm the aching heart.

Happy Stamping!

Miriam Castanho Bollinger
