Heartfelt Sympathy

 Good morning!

Today I've made a card that is actually very unusual for me, it is a sympathy card.  I made a couple of these recently and I hope that it brightens someone's day even a little bit.

Material list HERE

Card size:  4 5/8” X 6 5/8”

Make a shaped card by placing the outer die of the Decorative Circle Frames over the fold of white 12 X 5 piece folded in half at the top, (it will hang over the edge about 5/8” in this case, see video for further instruction).  On the top half of card only, score at the center (from the fold it should be about 2 9/16”, it will be 3 3/8” if measuring from the outside edge of top (you can plainly see the center of the decorative die when it is being scored, don’t worry that it is not even on both halves.  Fold the top down toward center fold.

Cut another white front of card with the same outer die then glue it to the front of card on the half that is folded in.  When the card is closed all edges should match up.  Cut 2 panels with this same outer die from yellow decorative paper, glue one to the front and one to the inside trimming the top as necessary to fit (do not glue over scored fold as this makes it hard to close).

Cut 2 white decorative die cuts and 2 yellow eyelet circles from the Decorative Circle Frames set.  Glue one inside trimming at the top and glue one on the front popping up the yellow circle on the front.

Stamp the angel with bird and Magnolia arch with memento, die cut, color with Copics, shape slightly from the back and pop up both on the card front.

Stamp Magnolia blossoms (medium and small) 2 times each using Pink Oxide Ink, sponge with pink on the edges then sponge with yellow on the insides, form in the mold then glue 2 together for each flower.  Pierce the centers, insert light yellow stamen, secure with hot glue then snip the wires in the back.

Stamp the leaves using Fern Green, sponge with Leaf Green and Magenta Hue, die cut, mold then cut apart.

Stamp the sentiment using pink Oxide, die cut with the small oval from the ovals large set, pop up on the yellow circle inside of card.  This will be the stop to keep card open to display.

Glitter flowers and lacquer leaves then glue to front and inside as desired.  Add small pearls to the decorative white die cuts.

Thanks for visiting today!
