There is so much that I love about this card – where do I begin! I will say that this stamp set, Circle Circus has always been a favorite of mine….why? ~ not sure but I just look at it and see how many different elements that it can be used for….please make sure you subscribe to my blog so you do not miss tomorrows posting….I am going to use this stamp set in a TOTALLY different way!

I simply love the crumb cake envelopes and I do use it so often in all of my projects….I thought for a sympathy card the combination of Crumb Cake, Very Vanilla and Not Quite Navy would be a great trio! Still needed something so I pulled out the Houndstooth Embossing Folder to make it go WOW and think it did`! I used a bunch of punches…1 1/4 " Circle punch and the 1 3/8 punch! TIP: – when you go to cut the paper that has already been embossed – cut it backwards….it will help prevent tearing and also give it a cleaner, crisp edge!

From here…I just kept playing….stamping out my sentiment from the Loving Thoughts Stamp Set and then separating it to "fit in"…..I really like the way it looks….how about you??? – please click here to give me some feedback, I always enjoy and appreciate your thoughts! Next I thought it could use a little special something and being "bow challenged" as I am…I went to my never fail me…..Seam Binding Ribbon…as  it always makes great and simple knots….and that's the way I roll……simple!

The finishing touches that by now you are used to….POP and LINE! The envelope was lined with a handsome paper from the Regals Designer Series Paper….I know that these appear to be a bit pricy but when you see how many sheets are in it and how they complement all of the Regals Collection……it is a great deal! Trust me, you will use them ALL the time!

I hope that you like this card…I think it is very clean and crisp! Make sure you check out my blog tomorrow…..same stamp set – totally different look! It will show you how versatile sets are and how you can go with your style to achieve your goals! I would love to help you ….I would love to have you on my team and be a part of Mary Fish's Pals community…..so easy – so fun….so do-able…so you! Have a great day!
