Creating A Sympathy Card

Hello!

Happy Thursday everyone!  It's one day closer to Friday.  Woohoo!

Today I'm sharing a a sympathy card idea.  These are always the hardest cards to make and ones that we never want to have to make.  The Thoughts and Prayers set combined with the Sunny Day set makes it simple and easy to do so.

 I heat embossed the flat-bottomed clouds on a piece of watercolor card stock and then watercolored the background with Distress Inks.  I also heat embossed the sentiment on a piece of vellum and cut it out.

I popped up the sentiment with clear foam squares and tied a piece of twine around the top of the card.  The last step was to add a few of the Cloudy Day Sequins.  A quick and easy sympathy card.  You could also create it with a different sentiment from the Thoughts and Prayers set.  There are so many different options.

Have a great day!

Welcome Baby

Hello, friends!

We have a card to share today by guest designer, Angel!  She used the Bundles of Joy set to create an adorable baby card.  I love how she heat embossed the flowers on the background in clear and then added the groups of dots.

She also added some black sequins that come in out Cloudy Day mix.  The sequin mixes are nice because you can pick out just one color or use them all together!

Thanks for stopping by today!

It's Open + Giveaway!

Hi Everyone!

The Mint Owl Studio store is now open!  I'll introduce you to the products here and link to each specific product in the store.  It's a small release, but I just want to get my feet wet before diving in head first.

First up is the new stamp set.  This one is called Sunny Day and I had so much fun designing it!  It has some great images that can be used alone or used with other images to create scene cards.  I have used the clouds and sun for backgrounds and they are the perfect size.  It also has some great sentiments for many different occasions. 

As you know, I love sequins!  I thought it was only appropriate to create my own mixes that coordinate with the stamp set.  You can used these for shaker cards or to just add a little sparkle to your card.  Don't forget that you can also use just one color from the mix at a time.

The first mix is called Blossom and it is so fun!  There are light pink, green, and yellow 6 mm sequins, along with 10 mm metallic silver butterfly sequins.  These butterfly sequins are awesome!  You are going to love them!

The second mix is called Cloudy Day and it has dark gray, royal blue, and light blue 6 mm sequins.  These work great with the "Every cloud has a silver lining" sentiment.  I also like using the colors individually and the dark gray is my favorite!

The third and final mix is called Sunshine.  It is a mix of bright yellow, red, and peach sequins.  A gorgeous color combination that is sure to brighten your cards and projects!

I want to thank everyone for all of their support so far and kind words about this new adventure.  I hope you love everything as much as I do and I cannot wait to share the fun things to come!  If you have any questions or problems checking out, please email me!

I have a new video up on the Mint Owl Studio YouTube channel introducing this set and a video up on the Tracy Mae Design YouTube channel creating a card with the new products!
