Morning, all!
Well, gosh, I’m falling apart! My back is killing me. Taking it easy as I head off to CHA on Saturday. I love CHA, but I don’t love being on my feet all day, especially with a rebelling back. Haven’t had any back issues for over a year, so this one took me by surprise. Anyhow, on to the card…
I wanted to create a sympathy card using mostly white. I did need to add a bit of color so that I could write a part of the sentiment, though. :)
I used Papertrey Ink’s Stamper’s Select White for the “sympathy.” It’s a super thick card stock and I wasn’t sure how my Cameo would handle it, but it cut it like the champ that it is. No problem. :) For those wondering, I had it on the Heavy Card Stock setting.

Love the Card……Simple And Lovely…………… :)
I really liked the nail polish today. I thought it was great you put the colors on your card video. I see you said that you do this but somtimes forget. I don’t remember seeing it before. lol. Now I will be looking out for it. I really enjoy your cards and watching how to make them. Hope your back is better. Have fun at CHA. :)
Wonderful card! Love it. Thanks for sharing, hugs
Very elegant card, love the white on white with a touch of color.
You know I’ve been practicing and practicing my dash marks…geez they’re much more difficult than you realize until you do them alot. My goal is to have mine up comparable to yours at some point in 2012.
Thanks for the beautiful cards, you’ve been on a great streak of AMAZINGNESS for a while know…I know amazingness isn’t a word, but it works here!!
So simple and so elegant! Thank you for your lovely card idea!
This is a super pretty card…. though definitely not a card that I would want to make for someone <3 Every time I see this amazing cutouts, I wish I bought a silhouette =P
just stunning… this is a beautiful card for such a sad ocassion always find sympathy cards hard to do… so pleased I bought my cameo last week I am totally in love with it!!
Hey Kristina. I’m so sorry to hear about your back. My husband has back issues and had to have surgery 2 months before a ginormous family reunion at Disneyland. Lots of walking and we didn’t know what we were going to do. Our doctor recommended he wear Crocs as they provide a lot of cushion when you are doing that kind of walking around. I just ordered a few more pairs for our upcoming trip to WDW and they have come a long way and are a LOT more stylish. There were 18 of us on that trip and Mark and I who wore our Crocs religiously were the only ones not complaining of foot or back pain during our four days in the park. Maybe that will help with your upcoming CHA trip. I hope it heals quickly.
Stunning card, and you’re nails were gorgeous too!
Hope you’re feeling better soon. I had back surgery in 2001, and some days it just gets the best of you! :(
Sending hugs…
Angie
I think this one is in my favorite top 5 or so.
Kristina…..your handwriting is so awesome….you should have it made into a font!
