Floral Sympathy Card with Purple Gingham

Welcome to a new Cards By Kendra blog post!

Today I wanted to share a handmade card I made for the "Cardmakers Card Swaps" group on Facebook. The March 2020 theme was "Sympathy".

I used the stamp set "All That You Are" for the flower and "Itty Bitty Greetings" for the sentiment, both from ©Stampin' Up!. I colored the flower with Stampin' blends Highland Heather and Old Olive light and dark color alcohol markers. The sentiment was punched out using the Classic Label punch and attached with 3D foam squares. The frame (4"x5.25") was cut from the Highland Heather color sheet from the Gingham Gala 6"x6" Designer Series Paper. The bow was made from matching Highland Heather organdy ribbon tied around the top piece and secured with adhesive. This was a very simple, yet beautiful card to make. I hope you like it! Please leave me a comment and let me know what you think!

DIY Lip Balm Gift Tag Pouches for Inexpensive Birthday and Thank You Gifts

I wanted to share these lip balm gift tags that I made a few weeks ago using products from My Favorite Things . I thought these gift tags would make the perfect inexpensive gift to give to my students on their birthdays. I also made some to give to the young women at my church on Valentine's Day. I found several lip balm packs on eBay in candy flavors, so I thought they would love them in these cute little gift tags!!
