Good morning and welcome to Monday!!!! Our travels today are a full day of sailing the North Sea to our first destination in Norway. This is also the day we gather for presentations from the Gardner Family and corporate office. They truly want the trip to be a vacation so there is very little business scheduled. We will have some time through the week to play with new products coming, earn prizes, and pick up our swaps after they have been sorted. Otherwise, it’s time to visit, get to know, and renew friendships while enjoying the scenery.
Remember That Polished Stone Example With Mossy Meadow????

When I paired the colors of Old Olive, Garden Green, and Mossy Meadow together I had this die cut in mind!!! Have you checked out the Gorgeous Garden dies in our annual catalog???? These are “stand alone dies” so they are easily missed. They are not associated with any DSP, corrdinating stamp set, etc. but they are one of the hidden gems tucked into the die cut section on pages 162-167.
I paired it with the stamp set Hope You Know as well as the Nested Essentials Dies (yep, ANOTHER GREAT STAND ALONE DIE SET!) and gold foil to create this beautiful but elegant sympathy card. Throw in the beautiful sheer God and Vanilla ribbon that is a carryoever from an earlier catalog BUT still available and this card is classic! No other embellishments are needed!!
I’ll be back sharing the 2nd die in the Gorgeous Garden set later using the polished stone example of Boho Blue, Orchid Oasis, and Starry Sky. Can’t wait to see how it turns out!!! Until next time, keep stamping, keep crafting, and God Bless!!!
