Hi Everyone! I mentioned in my last post I’ve had to make several sympathy cards lately. All three cards are posted on my Facebook page Donna’s Love at First Stamp. On this post are cards two and three. I made the first card as a trifold fun fold card, and the second is a regular fold card using embossing, dies, and Stampin’ Write Markers to stamp the flowers on the card.

The trifold card is a monotone card in Pretty Peacock. I used the Layered Florals 3D Emobossing folder and Hello, Irresistible 6″x6″ DSP to decorate the card. I had a bit of shimmer paint leftover from another craft project I had made, so I dry stippled it over the embossed flowers for just a hint of shimmer. I used the Thoughtful Expressions stamps and dies to stamp and cut out the flowers. I went over the flowers with a bit of Wink of Stella, then using a Q-tip softly colored them in with Soft Pastels.

My last sympathy card is not a fun fold, although I think it’s just as interesting. This card was a color combination of Moody Mauve, Basic White, and Pretty Peacock. I used the retiring Basic Borders Dies and the Distressed Tile 3D Embossing Folder to give this card lots of texture and personality. I stamped off the leaf in Pretty Peacock. The flower from the Inked and Tiled stamp set was stamped by using a Pretty Peacock and Moody Mauve Stampin’ Write Marker on the stamp, then stamped it onto the paper. I finished off the front with a few 2023-2025 In Color Dots in Moody Mauve. I used the same technique for stamping off the leave on the interior, as well as the marker technique for the flower stamp on the interior and the envelope.

I hope you’ve enjoyed my cards today. I pray I do not need to create any more sympathy cards for awhile. As always, Happy Stamping! If you like my cards, please drop me a like/comment. Also, like my facebook page Donna’s Love at First Stamp.

Happy Stamping everyone! Donna 🙂
