This sympathy card was made using the Faithful Florals stamp set by Tami Mayberry, and the Grand Damask stamp set by Nina Brackett, from Gina K. Designs.

The main sentiment was stamped onto a piece of Pure Luxury Soft Sand cardstock using Tuxedo Black Memento ink, and the floral image was stamped behind it using Sahara Sand ink. The main image was adhered to a piece of PL Ivory cardstock with a scallop border, and a thin strip of PL Smokey Slate cardstock was glued on the bottom of the main image.

The Grand Damask image was stamped onto PL Fresh Asparagus cardstock using Olive Vivid ink, and the cardstock was then adhered to the PL Ivory cardbase. I mounted to the main image to the cardbase with dimensionals, and added two silver rhinestones in the upper corner.

This card was created using the stamp sets Fanciful Tags and Grand Damask by Nina Brackett available from Gina K. Designs.

The grand damask image was stamped onto Pure Luxury Cranberry Tart cardstock using Champagne Dazzle VersaMark ink. I stamped the label frame image onto PL White cardstock  using Aged Mahogany Ranger ink, and stamped the sentiment inside of it using Tuxedo Black Memento ink. I added a length of bella fiber to the cardbase, mounted to label frame with dimensionals, and added two mini rhinestones for embellishment.

This simple card was made using the new You Are Not Alone stamp set from Gina K. Designs along with the Fanciful Tag stamp set by Nina Brackett available from Gina K. Designs.

The main image was inked with Copic markers; YG95,  RV29, Y21, and W-3, and then stamped onto a piece of Pure Luxury Ivory cardstock that I saturated with the colorless blender Copic marker. I stamped the sentiment in Tuxedo Black Memento ink below the image and then secured a piece of Bella Fiber around the cardstock after I punched to edge of the paper with a 1/16″ hole punch to secure the fiber. The main image was then mounted to the PL Soft Sand cardfront.

These are my two favorite projects that I designed for this release. I really like the simplicity of them, and the bold images work perfectly for one-layer-cards.

The two stamps sets being previewed today are “Lean on Me” and “You are Not Alone”, both by Gina K. I appreciate several of the thoughtful sentiments in the You are Not Alone stamp set as well as the circular floral images. The flower images in the Lean on Me set are also fun along with the cute text used on the sentiments.
