Condolence cards are the most difficult cards to make but I recently needed one to send to my cousin’s wife. Matthew passed away several weeks ago and he was only 48 years old. Far too young to leave us.
I love everything about the Kindness & Compassion stamp set. It’s always difficult finding the right words to say to someone who’s experiencing extreme grief and convey that you care. This set has a variety of beautiful sentiments written in a beautiful font. Plus it includes “thank you.”
I used a base of Thick Whisper White with another layer of Whisper White, embossed with the Layered Leaves 3D Embossing Folder. The sentiment was stamped in Night of Navy and cut out using the Stitched Shapes Dies. The larger Night of Navy oval underneath it was cut out using the Layering Ovals Dies.
If you’d like to make today’s card, you can find all the measurements below the Supply List.

Oh my gosh, how cute are these snowmen from Let It Snow Specialty Designer Series Paper? When photographing the card, I hoped I could capture the beautiful sparkle on all the snowmen. Funny thing is, when I saw this paper in the catalog, I didn’t initially buy it. It didn’t jump out at me as something I had to have. But then someone I know mentioned how cute it was so I purchased it and I was absolutely NOT disappointed! If you’d like to see in more detail, all the designs in this package of paper, go to my Stampin’ Up! online store, here. Click the “+” on the image of the paper to make the photo larger. Then, you’ll see arrows and you’ll be able to scroll through all the designs.
The base of my card is Thick Whisper White. When the base of my card is white, I always use our Thick Whisper White rather than our regular Whisper White. The next layer is our Real Red cardstock. The sentiment is from the stamp set Snowman Season and was also stamped in Real Red ink and cut out using the Merry Christmas Dies. It’s a super simple card to make and super cute with all the sparkly snowmen!
If you’d like to recreate this card, you can find all the measurements below the Supply List.

On a side note, yesterday my daughter and son-in-law had to say goodbye to their precious dog, Jake. Losing an animal is never easy because they are our family. I cried a bucketload of tears yesterday. One day Jake was doing fine and the next, he was gone. He was the most gentle animal and full of so much love. Here’s a picture of Jake and my youngest grandson about a month ago. Go hug your furry loved ones and let them know how much they mean to you.

Happy Monday!
Last week was not my best week for blogging! I did write a blog post for Wednesday which announced my Online Card Class but it didn’t go out to all my subscribers until Thursday due to a problem with the program that sends out the emails. I was able to figure out pretty quickly what the problem was able to fix it. Then I was planning for another post on Friday only to find out that I couldn’t access all my photos because I had upgraded the operating systems on both my Mac desktop and laptop computer and it took quite some time to catalog thousands of pictures (yikes)!! What can you do when technology fails you? Not much!!
Today was supposed to be the last day to order my October Online Card Class, but because it was delayed a day, I’m extending it until tomorrow. All the other deadlines will stay the same but you’ll have until tomorrow to place a $50 or more order using the host code EPZEKZXJ to receive my FREE online card class. For more details, please click here.
