All of a sudden I am in need of sympathy cards and I want them to be somewhat special. I had not played with the Handmade Designs stamp set (FREE when joining as a Demonstrator through Feb 28, 2025) OR the Linked Together Dies. This is a soft feeling card because of the Peach Pie color in the the Blooming Impressions 12×12 DSP (FREE with a $60 purchase through Feb.28, 2025). And I was inspired by the card on page 48 in the Jan-Apr 2025 Mini Catalog to use the diamond die in this way. I really like how it turned out. The sentiment is from the Hope You Know stamp set, an ONLINE EXCLUSIVE.
So let me tell you how I did this. I stamped the floral image from the Handmade Designs stamp set using two Markers for the ink: Pumpkin Pie and Garden Green, then huffed on the stamp and stamped on Basic White card stock – about 4 x 4 in size. I then took a Peach Pie Marker and followed the edge of the flower stamped to create the second color. For the center of the flower I scribbled with the Daffodil Delight Marker. I die cut the flower using the diamond die, then cut another from plain Basic White card stock – and cut it in half corner to corner in the middle. I attached the stamped piece to the two (now) triangles and set this aside. I cut a piece of the Blooming Impressions 4 x 5 1/4 and adhered it to a Basic White 4 1/8 x 5 3/8, then to the Thick Basic White card base (4 14 x 11 scored at 5 1/2). I attached the diamonds that were set aside, directly to the card front. I tied a double bow with Linen Thread and attached it with a glue dot, then added three Adhesive-Backed Shiny Sequins, also an ONLINE EXCLUSIVE. I wanted a sentiment and pulled out the Hope You Know stamp set and with Pebbled Path ink, stamped a scrap of Basic White and fussy cut with paper snips the sentiment. I added dimensionals and added it to the card front.
For the inside, all I did was stamp the sentiment – again from the Hope You Know stamp set and with Pebbled Path ink, on a 4 x 5 1/4 Basic White panel. I added this to the inside of the card – and done!
For the envelope, more of the Blooming Impressions 12×12 DSP was added to the flap & trimmed to fit. For the front of the envelope, I inked just a portion of the flower with the Pumpkin Pie Marker, huffed on it and stamped. I used the Peach Pie Marker as before to add color.
