Sending Heartfelt Sympathy mash-up card

Today I have a sympathy card for you.  I've tried to combine some last chance items with Product of the Month and current products.  If you know me at all, I love to mash up stamps and dies that weren't necessarily expected to go together.  You get such unique cards when you do that.  I wanted to convey a sense of peace with this card.  You can watch the video tutorial over on my YouTube channel by clicking this link.

Wishing you good things with Notes of Spring card

For my featured product this week I will be working with the Notes of Spring stamp set.  This is an exclusive stamp set for the Stampin' Up! Product of the Month (POM) for March 2026.  It is available only while supplies last and is only available with a $75 purchase (USD) for $5.  Such a great set for a small amount of money.  I have found it to be quite versatile and easy to work with.  Cards can be made very quickly and still look like you spent a bit of time on them.  The two-step stamping allows you to color in the images using stamps, thereby taking less time.  Of course, you always have the option to color them.  I will have a card for you later this week where I did just that.  To watch the video tutorial on how I put this card together and so you can recreate it, head on over to my YouTube channel.  You will find the video by clicking this link.
