Unfortunately one of the first cards I have made in the new year is a sympathy card. A co-worker lost her grandmother last weekend. I used the new Dreamin' Big  paper pack along with my go to stamp set " Finding the Words ". I used Glacier  ink for edging and the sentiment. I also completed my Welcome Home Wreath this weekend. This fabulous kit is FREE with any $60 purchase or can be purchased separately for $18.95. Place your order here  before it is gone!

One of my co-workers lost her father-in-law right before Christmas. In today's obituary it talks about wearing purple to the funeral. I decided to make a Sympathy card using the Ciruct Artiste cartridge for the flowers and the Flower Market Cartridge for the sentiment. I used the retired Quatrefoil embossing folder for the Gypsy cardstock.

Today I realized that I am out of sympathy cards in my stash. I used Cranberry  and Black cardstock along with the retired Honeycomb embossing folder. I used the Artiste and Flower Market Cricut Cartridges to make the flowers and sentiment.

My college roommate's grandmother just died so I wanted to drop a card in the mail to her. I used paper from a May special a couple of years ago and used the Cricut Artfully Sent cartridge .

Today I had to make a card for my friend who lost her dog. She has had the dog longer than her husband or kids! He was the ring bearer in their wedding. I thought this card would be perfect for her. I used the following CTMH products: Georgie paper pack Cricut Artistry Cartridge Whisper Thick Twine

This morning I woke up early and had time to create a sympathy card for a friend whose mother recently passed away from cancer. I thought the Charlotte paper pack was perfect for the occasion. I also have been trying to make myself use my cartridges more so I pulled out the CTMH Artistry Cartridge and found the perfect balloon cut on page 34. I cut the balloon base using a sheet of the Charlotte paper pack and the top of the balloon using Sorbet paper. I used the January Stamp of the Month "Thinking of You" in Whisper ink to stamp the words. I used a Treasured Puffies  in the right corner to give just a pop of gold color.  The January Stamp of the Month is available for only $5 with any $50 purchase. All products used for this card can be found here.
