Recently I've exhausted my supply of sympathy and get well cards. So today I've made a simple little sympathy card to add to my stash. It features stamps from the Regal Greetings kit brought to us by Unity's {ippity} line.
OK, I imagine that the eyebrows of those who know me are sky-high by now. Yes, that is a diecut you see. In fact, it is a hinged diecut lacy circle card. No, I haven't taken the plunge with a Big Shot or Grand Calibur machine and an accompanying vast collection of Spellbinders. Nope, it's the simple truth that my friends take pity on me and occasionally slip me a diecut or two. This beautiful lacy circle card was gifted to me by the very sweet Lisa Lara, a fixture on SplitcoastStampers. I have been hoarding it for over a year now, but when I saw the sketch for this week's Chick Challenges with {ippity} #5, I knew I had to bring it out of mothballs.
With this card, I'm also playing along with the current {ippity} Challenge, Mini Cards. This one measures 4" in diameter.
I hope you have a fabulous weekend! Thanks so much for dropping by today!

Oh, this is simply stunning, made from my favorite set ever!
I love this shape for a card. It is a perfect little card!
Hi Emily! I never realised you don't own any dies, that's a smart girl. Those of us who do are often addicted, and spend way too much..lol!
Love this card - the frame & sentiment piece is awesome and I love that you kept the card simple. It's a wonderful thoughtful card to give away when time calls for it. Have a great day! {hugs}
Gorgeous colours! I never have any sympathy cards on hand so I have to do them last minute - you are smart. Also, probably best you have avoided the dies... they are addictive!
You totally read my mind, I was thinking, you can't punch out a shaped card like that... great job.
Emily, this is gorgeous. I really like the black/kraft combo and that little flower is the perfect embellishment for this lovely card.
Ooh, Emily...love this shaped card. Lisa Lara was so nice to gift you with that die cut. The dp is fabulous with Kraft and I really love that sketch.

And hoarding...jeez...at least I don't have bugs or anything, but craft supplies? What am I saving them for? but I always do. Glad to know I'm not the only weirdo (actually, is it just me, or are we in the majority here?) lol.
Just gorgeous. It's understated and elegant. Perfect for the occasion for which it must be sent. Great job
