I have a hard time creating Sympathy Cards. If they're elaborate, I worry that maybe it's not appropriate. If it's too simple, I worry that the recipient will feel I wasn't trying hard enough. It's a dilemma for every one I make. Today's card is, kinda, simple – but definitely not boring. I love all the metallics that are in vogue right now.
- Cut a piece of Whisper White Cardstock (#100730) to 4 1/4" x 11". Score and fold at 5 1/2".
- Layer a piece of 4" x 5 1/4" Gold Fancy Foil Designer Vellum (#133363) putting adhesive behind the gold dots on the vellum so it won't show through.
- Put a piece of Gold Foil Sheet (132622) through the Big Shot (#113439) in the Striped Embossing Folder (#123128).
- Layer it onto a piece of Whisper White Cardstock and adhere to the front of the card.
- Cut a piece of Whisper White Cardstock to 2 1/2" x 4 1/4" and layer a piece of 4 1/8" x 2 3/8" Gold Fancy Foil Designer Vellum (#133363) on top. Adhere to the card using Stampin' Dimensionals (#104430).
- Stamp "Sending Love and Sympathy" from the Love & Sympathy Stamp Set (Clear #122797) in Versamark Ink (#102283) onto a piece of 2" x 2 3/4" of Whisper White Cardstock and emboss using Gold Embossing Powder (#109129) and a Heat Tool (#129053).
- Punch out the sentiment using the Decorative Label Punch (#120907).
- Punch out a piece of Gold Foil Sheet using the Decorative Label Punch. Cut it diagonally and reassemble it behind the sentiment so that it borders it. Attach to the card front using Stampin' Dimensionals.
- Embellish the bottom with a Designer Vintage Faceted Button (#127555) adhered with Glue Dots (#103683). Put a Rhinestone Basic Jewel (#119246) in the center.
