All of us at Stamp Simply are so excited to be sharing three new sentiment sets...and they are now LIVE in the store and ready for purchase! We're also hosting a giveaway ON THE STAMP SIMPLY BLOG, so be sure you visit and comment on the give-away post THERE! Hopefully you have already been following along there this week, as each day we've been sharing cards that our designers have created using these brand new sets.
It's so very hard to lose a loved one. Faith, family and friends help us through the hardest part until we are finally able to remember without so much pain. Cards and letters bring soothing words of love, comfort and healing. Here's my card for today, using a beautiful sentiment from our new Sympathy Sentiments Set 2.
Treasured sentimental possessions help us to feel closer to our loved ones, too. I guess I have a thing for silver spoons, so this poetic sentiment, paired with some heirloom silverware designer paper rekindled some warm, sweet childhood memories for me. I was about 10 years old when my maternal grandmother passed away. In my memories, she seemed to always be wearing an apron and had a spoon in her hand! Their house was out in the country and had a spigot on the pump house wall just outside the kitchen window. My cousins and I would play in the dirt there, digging mazes of canals and watching the water run through them, or mixing mudpies. MawMaw would throw silver spoons through the crank-open kitchen window to us without a moment's hesitation so we could each have one to dig with. To her we were much more precious than those silver spoons and she wanted us to have a good time when we were together, which wasn't nearly often enough. Ha, those were the good ole days when we were little and it sure didn't take much to keep us entertained! And those are some sweet memories of my beloved grandmother and the kind, generous person she was. ❤️
Here's the inside of my card, with one fussy-cut silver spoon to accent another beautiful (and powerful!) sentiment. The designer paper at the top is black with white text, so I toned it down a bit with a layer of vellum over top, softening the contrast and keeping the focus on the sentiment at the bottom.
