Hey Friends!

It’s been a long time since I’ve made a card just because. I’ve been a little lost the past few weeks – figuring out what to do with more kids at home and trying to do things that make me feel like I’m being purposeful with my time. Most of that time was spent knitting a baby blanket, but the past few days have been spent sewing face masks. I spent a lot of time pondering if they’d be useful – it’s conflicting but ultimately, some protection is better than none. Truth be told, my paper-crafting mojo had left me. I pulled out my stamp bin for all things The Greetery and flipped through it to find some thing inspiring and landed on Simple Things and Cotton Comforts. Even the name of these sets are soothing!

These two stamp sets are simple layering sets that have so much detail and depth. I used Pinkfresh Studio inks for the cotton branches (Misty Coast, Warm Buff, Doe, Gathered Twigs) and then used Catherine Pooler inks for the eucalyptus branches (Sage and Spruce). After stamping, I die-cut the images and set them aside to work on the background.

I stamped a white panel with the Windowpane Plaid background stamp and used the medium Crimped Frame to die-cut it. Then using the largest Crimped Frame, I die-cut another panel using some MFT Grout Gray cardstock. I adhered the plaid panel over the gray panel using foam adhesive for dimension before adding my stamped images over it.

My images are layered from the bottom left hand corner and attached using foam adhesive for additional dimension. To finish, I stamped the sentiment and die-cut a halo over it using the coordinating die from the Cotton Comforts set and embellished with some Sparkling Clear Confetti.

I hope you enjoyed this card! I hope you’re all taking lots of care during this time. Wishing you all good health and lots of wonderful family time!
