It’s funny how things come about…. I needed a sympathy card and on my desk was a 4 x 5 1/4 panel already embossed with the Changing Leaves Hybrid embossing folder – and I said, why not! And here’s how it turned out…

Gosh, this photo is not the best! Yes, the embossed panel is Crushed Curry as are the die cut leaves, and from the Changing Leaves Dies. The panel is set on dimensionals on a Copper Clay card base 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored at 4 1/4. The two outside leaves are attached with dimensionals asa well and the middle leaf simply tucked in and adhered at the stem end, which you cannot see. The sentiment panel is Basic Beige stamped in Crushed Curry ink and die cut with a die from Thoughtful Expressions Dies. The sentiment comes from Something Fancy stamp set. And the Linen Thread is a double bow slipped just under the corner of the sentiment with a glue dot. My final touch was the Gold Textured Adhesive-Backed Dots. I love all the texture and elegance of this card.

For the inside, I stamped the sentiment in crushed Curry ink but the message is from Hope You Know stamp set – and on a Basic Beige 4 x 5 1/4 panel.

For the envelope… I embossed a 2 1/4 x 6 panel of Crushed Curry card stock with the Changing Leaves Hybrid embossing folder, adhered it and trimmed to fit the flap. The leaf on the front of the envelope is from Autumn Expressions stamp set, stamped in Crushed Curry ink, then added Wink of Stella to the inside of the leaf. It looks very cool – again a bit of texture and glam too. And even though this is a sympathy card, the glam is not overdone. I’ve already passed this card on to the person for whom it was made – and they loved it.

This is a beautiful card! A good color for a sympathy card indeed. I was wondering….how did you manage to keep the cardstock pieces from within the single die-cut of two leaves from falling out and away from the die-cut shape after the die-cutting? Am I seeing the photograph inaccurately?

Mary Ann – I’m not sure I understand your question, but… I’m guessing you are asking about the die cut leaves behind the sentiment panel – the ones with the tiny bits. After die cutting, I added tape to the back side of the leaf to hold the tiny pieces in place. And if they fell out after the die cutting, once I had tape on the back, they stayed in place.
Does that make sense? If not…ask again!

Dear TL, yes, that is exactly what I was asking! I guess as a matter of how a die in fact works, taping the bits in place later is the only option, which should have occurred to me. Thanks for your time and trouble, I appreciate it! I am a longtime subscriber, I love so many of your cards!
Regards, Mary Ann
