Happy Sunday!
I've been praying for and donating to the people in North and South Carolina, Tennessee, Georgia, Florida and Virginia who lost everything from Hurricane Helene. I also pray for the people of Florida who are set to get hammered again from the Milton storm which is expected to become another hurricane and pass over almost the entire state.

This week I'm sharing a New Home card and 2 sympathy cards I made quite a while back and recently mailed off.
For this New Home card, I've used yellow SU card stock for the base and sentiment strip, Jane Davenport patterned papers and stamps by Avery Elle and October Afternoon. I used an AE signature seal die cut from the yellow card stock scraps and added red 2 punched hearts from stash.
And here's the sketch I used.
Here's my first sympathy card. I used a white card stock base, Webster's Pages patterned papers, 2 Stamps of Life stitched rectangle dies and a Stamplorations sentiment die.
And here's the sketch I used.
My second sympathy card uses a green SU card stock base, Webster's Pages patterned paper, stitched rectangle and heart dies and a Stamplorations sentiment die cut from the green card stock scraps. I drew the lines the hearts hang from with a gel pen.
And here's the sketch I used. I switched it to a landscape orientation in PSE.
Well, that's it for me this week.
Thanks for the visit, enjoy your day and have a great week coming up!

Hi Aimeslee! These are stunning! You did a great job bringing those sketches to life - I tend to be a bit more free-formed myself. LOL! Glad to see you back & posting. Hope all is well! xoxo Makira
ReplyDeleteLove both of the last two cards - the branches on the sympathy card are gorgeous and I love the dangling hearts on the other one :)
ReplyDeleteThese are gorgeous cards Aimeslee, and the recipients will love and appreciate them.
ReplyDeleteThose prayers and donations will be much appreciated too. Praying there will be less damage and no loss of life in the coming storm.
Hugs,

Both cards are beautiful. The hurricanes were so bad, I hope this one will be less dangerous. Hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteThese are all very beautiful and heartfelt creations! Really great use of the sketches you've used and I especially love the sympathy cards you've created with the flowers and papers you've used for them! The slimline with the house is adorable too! Sending hugs your way!
ReplyDeleteHi Aimeslee. I saw on the news tonight that Milton has become a cat 5 storm. Holy cow, those poor people are going to hit again. It's so sad. And you made some lovely cards. Sympathy cards are always so hard to make, but I like how you used a little bit of color. I especially like the hearts. :) I hope you have a great week ahead. hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteThe hurricanes have been dreadful for so many people, we have relations in Florida, and they are being battered again. So sad.
ReplyDeleteAs for your card Aimes, they are stunning, I love the sentiment being large on your first card, a perfect take on the sketch. Your second with the flowers and layered hearts is another perfect take on the sketch, I love them both. Hope you are well. x
Beautiful cards, Aimeslee!! As usual, you're a master of using sketches; and also adapting them, it seems--I like your horizontal version of the hearts one. :-) Your sympathy card is also so unique--colorful, but definitely expresses heartfelt sympathy. I love it!
