Edited to add: My husband just informed me this is too bright and looks like a couch! Hmmm ...maybe :)
Make It Monday #194: Sympathy Cards & Stamped Borders
Melissa asked us to make a: sympathy or thinking of you card with stamped borders.
Hello! I hope you had a wonderful Christmas ! I have missed you all! Just like most of you I have been so busy and with my husband home for the long weekend ... its family time. We even had a few extended family birthday events to go to this past week. We had a wonderful Christmas filled to the brim with love and a big mess.
Wouldn’t have it any other way!
Happy to get a card in this morning while my husband was at golf. Sad, I didn’t have a chance to do the Papertrey Ink blog hop, but your cards were amazing.
I made this card with the new free stamp set from Papertrey Ink, very kind of P.T.I to include it with our order, thank you!
I have been busy with our 12 kits cards that you can see on Dec 30 and we have a special GD too!
Thank you so much for stopping by my blog!

Happy New Year Marybeth! Just took the last of my big mess out to the curb...tomorrow is garbage and recycle day! Glad you had a fun and family filled holiday. This is a beautiful card. The yellow and green together is lovely, and I really like the leaves on the ends of your bows. Can't wait to see your 12 kits.... : ) Bev
ReplyDeletebeautiful take on the MIM technique, Marybeth!
ReplyDeleteI'm completely smitten with those little leaves dangling about from your twine bow!! This is such a delightful card Marybeth!! Enjoy your family during this holiday season...I'm doing just the same ;)
ReplyDeleteA gorgeous card with the dangling leaves and twine! Lovely embossed sentiment, too! Happy to hear that you enjoyed family time during the holidays!
ReplyDeleteWould you just look at the happiness radiating from this card?! A couch! Why the man is off his rocker!! Those bright yellow border petals and dancing leaves make this look like a garden any of us would want to go play in! Wow, Marybeth, I love it to pieces, you clever girl!! I'm happy to hear that your Christmas was wonderful and I wish you all the best in the new year!! Hugs, Darnell
ReplyDeleteA couch?? haha!! That's too funny! I think it looks amazing myself! The colors are really pretty and I love the dangling leaves! So glad to hear you had a wonderful Christmas! We did too, complete with the mess also. I've been trying to get my life back in order for the past three days! :)
ReplyDeleteThis is just amazing. I was trying to see how to use that free set for my MIM card, and could not come up with anything. Yours is fantastic, and I wish I had thought of it. It does NOT look like a couch--boo on Oscar! Love how you added the gold sentiment and I love your hanging leaves.
ReplyDeleteYour card is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteWell, if this looks like a couch, I want one like it! Love the yellow and green! The label is gorgeous and I love the leaves "hanging" from it! I'm glad you had a wonderful Christmas. Hope you're well rested and ready to forge ahead to 2015!
ReplyDeleteHusbands are funny sometimes. Your card is beautiful and I love the dangling leaves, it adds a special touch! The green and gold colors are perfect for the Greenbay Packers, we won again!!! Happy to hear you had a nice Christmas!
ReplyDeleteI love everything about this, Marybeth - the border, the tag die, the leaves hanging from the bow, the embossed sentiment.
ReplyDeleteHa ha, it doesn't look like a couch hon...I love the yellow! The way you sprinkled those leaves on twine is so cool~such a great effect. ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog...I didn't think anyone would even remember me. ;)
Beautiful card, Marybeth. Love the leaves on the ends of the twine and how you used this sweet stamp set...ahhh, no, don't see a couch anywhere here :-) Happy you had such a fun filled Christmas with loved ones!
ReplyDeleteOh so clever! I received this set too : ) but I've yet to ink it up! I love the colors you selected - it is so cheerful! but I especially love how your hung your leaves from your twine : ) SWEET!!
ReplyDeleteA couch? giggling!! It's been a long time since I saw a couch in these colors!

So BEAUTIFUL!!!!! Wishing you a very Happy New Year! Hugs, Karin
ReplyDeleteI have no problem telling a man he's wrong... this is no exception. I love it and that yellow is just the color my eyes needed after all the gray weather we've had here! Love it!

Marybeth, how I have missed visiting all my "blog friends"... things do get crazy with decorating, shopping, wrapping, preparing foods etc. We have our last big gathering of my Italian family tonight...23 people, I already made my big batch of baked spaghetti, so I should be good for taking time to leave comments and get caught up on everyone's treasures on their blog...I spied a darling ornament you made must go back and inspect it further...I made one for each grandchild (only 6 for me!!) and one for a niece and nephew who have their own homes now. Happy New Year! And this card is fantastic, I love your tag!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card Marybeth!
ReplyDeleteso elegant the gold sentiment!!
ReplyDeleteI think your card is so lovely and it doesn't remind me of a couch in the least bit. Very elegant as always. Love all of your baby cards too.
ReplyDeleteSo, so cute. Happy New Year to you and your family.
I love your card and personally do not think it is too bright or that it even comes close to looking like a couch. Husbands can be so funny. Your card is amazing and I love all the hanging leaves, so sweet and so serine. Wishing you and your family a very Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteWhat does HE know?!!! I especially love the leaves on the twine. I find your card very comforting, Marybeth!
ReplyDeleteLove your border and the wonderful accent of the leaves on your twine Marybeth - it makes the twine seem so active and vibrant!
ReplyDeleteOh my my! such a beauty, those leaves are awesome :)
ReplyDeleteSo cute, I love the leaves hanging off your bow! I need to use yellow more often ... such a cheerful color!
ReplyDeleteSO pretty. I love what you have done with the leaves. Thank you so much for playing along in the Anything Goes Challenge with us over at Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge Blog this week :)
