Sympathy card - is it appropriate? Mexican butterfly and flowers....

Very sadly my husband's cousin's husband has passed away from cancer at 41 years old. I'm so heartbroken for her and her children. I always make handmade cards for birthdays or other holidays, my way of showing I care.

I was thinking of doing a Mexican themed sympathy card because this man was very proud of his culture and where he was born.

I am a 3rd gen Canadian, so I'm not sure if this would be appropriate, based on some researching symbolism. What do you think?

Card idea: Giant White butterflies flying and landing on orange marigolds.

White butterflies I saw represent loved one spirit, giant white being a central American species, and Mexican marigolds represent cycle of life, bitter sweet.

I hope this is a nice idea, if not, what could I do instead?

Pls help identifying what this die is, ty!

Hi guys, so I was asking around for a car die (from the backside) & my friend suggested this. But I couldn’t figure out how to build it & funny thing is, neither can she.. Honestly, it looks like an armchair to me :S So I was hoping one of you guys can. Ty so much for reading!

PS: If you got suggestions for a car die / stamp + die combo, that’s from backside (like moving away), pls do let me know, ty!

(Sorry for any bad grammar, English isn’t my first language).

Loving this new spellbinders set

“Stitched study nook” is so cute, even though I don’t do the cross stitch part. 😁

Maybe someday I’ll break out some thread.

need some input!

hi y’all! i’m making a card and needed some help. after i finished the sky, i realized that the sand in this card looked awfully plain and i am a bit stump on what to add. should i add some splatters, continue the stencil on the sky to the sand (with more adjacent colors), or something else! thank y’all and have a good day!

Hand Bag Birthday Card

For my friend who loves handbags. I didn’t give myself anywhere to write so I added a little card in the inside pocket of the bag and then had to add a little gold pull tag to get it out. I shall be adding some of her favourite chocolates inside it. She always tells me not to buy gifts because she has everything lol 😂 But you can never have too much chocolate 🍫 🤤

Working on my next birthday card

For a July birthday. The flame and sentiment are stamps from Stampin Up, but the cake and candles are patterned papers from my stash. The butterfly is a dimension sticker from Dollar Tree. Since the patterns are so busy I am thinking of a plainish card base. Or maybe I will make a 3D/sandwich board type of card base so it stands up like a real cake.

Made with dies from 2 different die sets

The grid is from a die set with a dragonfly. The butterflies are in their own set. Both sets I got on Temu. I am so glad I learned to put adhesive paper on the back of the intricate dies, as I don't think I could have glued the grid without making a huge mess.

Mother’s Day Cards

This year my wife “commissioned” me to make Mother’s Day cards, and I was so happy to have been able to share my work, but also have people appreciate them.

Also super thankful for all of the amazing artists who put tutorials out on YouTube.
