Sympathy Cards and More

Sympathy Cards created sometime ago... these came from an old paper pumpkin kit from Stampin' Up!

Here's an adorable card I created using the print to cut feature on my eClips2 machine, cutting out this printed image from Doodle Bug Designs.

These cards were created using a sentiment from RG Avenue, and 3-Step Stampin' from AlTenew. The RG Avenue stamp was actually part of a bigger stamp, that I cut apart (see pic below). Don't be afraid to cut up your stamps, it just gives you more ways to utilize your stamps.

Now I have 3 stamps in 1!! I can us the plant stamp on any thing now, without having to worry about the words.

Aloha,

Jen's September Crafty Session - Friday

Aloha Crafty Friends!! Every month a hold a crafty session with my crafty friends. We get together and create using products from all different types of companies. It's the best fun ever. Then we go out on a little excursion, and break bread together. I host this crafty session every 3rd Friday and 3rd Saturday of the month, and it is by invitation only, or you'll need to know someone within the group to attend. I've closed it up to make it a special type of group, making it more intimate and fun for the ladies that attend. I so love these group of ladies, and the Lord has placed each of them in my life for a reason.

So, the products we created with came from RG Studio 360, RG Inspired Products, Hero Arts, Altenew, My Favorite Things... I am pretty sure that was about it. Here are pics from Friday's session. I will post more pics after my Saturday session tomorrow. :) 

Table all pretty and ready to go!!! My friend, Richard Garay sent me these paper mats for my sessions, and I am just loving how they are looking.

Here is one of the card samples... digital image is from RG Studio 360; I printed them on watercolor paper, using my laser printer, and then coloring using the watercolor paints I got from Altenew.

Here are several samples I created, my ladies were free to paint with whatever color they wanted.... so wanted to share with them several color choices....

My Bellaboo, she was so well behaved, and just sat on my chair, or Wini's chair... she was loving the company. Thank You for being so well behaved, Bella!!! 

Then a selfie shot before we all went our separate ways.

Thank you for coming out, ladies!!! So much fun!!! Love talking stories and hanging out, eating and creating with all of you. Always a blessing. Thank You for being a blessing in my life.

Aloha,
Jen

Altenew Happy Birthday Dahlias

Happy Monday Beauties!!! Today, I am sharing with you these beautiful cards that I created using Altenew's Dahlia stamps. I'm so happy how they turned out, and I thank my MISTI for it.  It was so fun to use, and I just have to not be so lazy with bringing out this tool, and especially using it for 2-step stamping. Makes it so much easier. I also masked. Here's a pic of how my MISTI looked in the process of making these cards...

After this part, here are how my stamped cards looked like...

Then I completed these cards by adding a sentiment, and put them on card based...  here's how they turned out.

I played around with a stitched frame I had. :) So happy how they turned out. Oh this past weekend, I hosting a Crafty Session. I will post those pics later this week, and I am also excited because my pastor's wife asked me if I'd like to create some cards n' journals to sell at our church cafe. So, I'll be jamming on those.  The Lord has also blessed me with another card order. :) All Happy Birthday cards, so these are part of that order.  I pray your week will be blessed. Thanks for visiting.

With Love In Christ,
Jen
