Sympathy With Feathers And Lace

November 26, 2019 Leave a Comment

I’ve been having a lot of fun at local craft fairs over the past couple of weeks. It’s always nice to meet other crafters and get feedback on what I make. What has been sad though is the number of people who have been asking for sympathy cards. So I’ve had to make quite a few more to restock my card racks. This is once of my recent designs.

Sympathy card with "Words cannot express the deep sorrow felt on your behalf" sentiment created using the Come To Gather paper and Here's A Card Stamp Set from Stampin' Up! #papercraftwithme

FULL PATTERNED FRONT

I began this sympathy card by choosing the feather pattern from the Come To Gather 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper (DSP) pack.

Using my new Paper Trimmer I cut and scored some Pretty Peacock Card to coordinate with the paper. Then I folded it along the scored line and sharpened the crease with a Bone Folder. Instead of leaving a border, I decided to cover the whole of the front of the card base with DSP and attached it using Multipurpose Liquid Glue (Tombow).

Next, on a layer of Whisper White Card I fixed a 3/4″ strip of the same paper down the right-hand edge. Then I glued this layer inside the card base.

Finally I glued the DSP to the flap of a Whisper White Medium Envelope. Then with Paper Snips I trimmed the paper using the edge of the flap as a guide.

A LITTLE LACE & SYMPATHY

With the inside and envelope done I turned my attention back to the card front. For the middle layer I simply used liquid glue to attach some Pretty Peacock Card to some Mint Macaron Card. Then I wrapped some Very Vanilla 3/8″ Scalloped Lace Trim around them and secured the ends on the back with Tear & Tape Adhesive. The assembled piece was added to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Now all I had left to do was the sympathy sentiment and for that I turned to the Here’s A Card Stamp Set.

First, using Pretty Peacock ink I stamped “may your heart find the peace it needs on the inside of the card. To be honest I wouldn’t normally stamp after assembling the card, but I’d got ahead of myself. Still there were no mishaps so it was all good.

Then on a piece of Mint Macaron Card I stamped “Words cannot express the deep sorrow felt on your behalf”.

With the stamping complete I punched out this main sentiment using the 2″ Circle Punch. Then for a subtle layer I used the Starburst Punch to punch out some Vellum Cardstock. I fixed the two pieces together with a little liquid glue then added them over the lace with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

In no time at all my sympathy card was complete.

Always tough to make, once a personal message has been added to the inside, I hope my project gives some solace to the final recipient.
