I do not like to do sympathy cards. I love making all kinds of cards. Sympathy cards are hard! I never know what to say and knowing that the reason I am making one to send to someone because they are sad makes it even harder.
I know the reason to make it a card like this is to share your love and concern but it is always tempting to go out and buy a card instead of trying to figure out what to make and to say! Since I have a whole room of card making supplies the idea of going out to spend even more money on a store bought card really doesn't make a lot of sense! So with that in mind here is the card I came up with:
I also used stamp set Sincere Expressions for the inside sentiment of the frame.
I cut the front of the card out with our Cricut Cartridge Artfully Sent Collection. The inside of the card I used a piece of background paper from our Seaside Paper Packet. I love this paper and will miss it when it become unavailable at the end of the month!
I stamped the label from the above set with our Desert Sand Stamp Pad and the Sympathy Sentiment with our Glacier Stamp Pad. I took a scrap piece of the 12 X 12 Glacier Cardstock and ran it through the Chevron Embossing Folder and sanded it a bit to get the white core to slightly show through. Took small strip of our 12 X 12 Desert Sand Cardstock and sanded that as well to put on the top. Added a few of our Gold Sequins to finish the card.
Thank you for looking today. Have a great weekend! Hugs!
