‘Thinking of You’ Card – IBFS
Hi there and happy Wednesday to you. Hope you’re week is going good. First, I just want to say, ‘Thank you’ for stopping by my blog. I know there are thousands upon thousands of paper crafting sites out there and it really means a lot to me that you take the time to stop by and see what I’ve been creating; I truly do appreciate it. Just sayin’! :)
Okay, so I have a card today that is a sad card to create, but a very needed type of card. It’s a Thinking of you/Sympathy card. :( One of our son’s college classmates just lost her grandfather and although I don’t know her I know what she is going through. I just wanted to send her a card to let her know that our family cares.
I embossed the sentiment on the front and for the life of me, I couldn’t get a full card picture without the glare. Sorry about that.

I’ve used My Minds Eye Portabella Road 6×6 paper pad and Stampin’ Up! Not Quite Navy card stock for the papers. I really like the sentiment for the verse, but also in the way it is written. I like the flourish around it that creates a sort of frame look. It made it easy to cut out. This stamp is called: Perfect Peace. Here’s a closer look at it (hopefully with a little less glare).

For the inside of the card, I’ve used 2 different stamp sheets from I Brake for Stamps. The phrase came from the Inspirational Phrases set, and the butterflies came from the Butterfly Kisses set. You can order anything off of the I Brake for Stamps website and get 10% off using my personal discount code…it’s SAVE10ROBYN. It’s more fun to shop and save isn’t it?! :) Enjoy!

Here’s a little video… (If you are getting this post via e-mail and the video appears as a black box, you can click on the post title to view it).
Thank you again for stopping by today. You’re super special! xx
