Sympathy Moments

A beautiful serene scene is all that is needed for a sympathy card. I believe in letting the paper do most of the work. Thoughts?

Sympathy Moments

Stamps:

   Peaceful Moments

Paper:

   Balmy Blue A-2

   Feels Like Frost DSP 5-1/2 x 3

   Vellum 1-3/4 x 5-1/4

   Basic White Strips 1/2 x 5-1/2 (2), 5-1/4 x 4 (Inside)

Ink:

   Night of Navy

Technique:

   CAS

Accessories:

   Glittery Clear Epoxy Shapes

   Tear & Tape

   Adhesive

First, I adhered a Basic White strip on each side of the designer series paper (DSP) panel. You can easily place the DSP panel onto a Basic White panel that measures 3-1/4 x 5-1/2. I chose to use strips because I have many left-over ones from cutting panels for other cards.

Next, I stamped my sentiment onto the center of a vellum panel. I allowed the panel to dry for a few minutes. 

I then wrapped the vellum around the panel and adhered it to the back, using strips of tear and tape. Any strong adhesive will do the job.

I then adhered this panel onto the Balmy Blue card front.

Lastly, I added glittery clear epoxy shapes and adhered the Basic White panel to the inside of the card.

Here is another card with the sentiment on the upper part of the card:

Sympathy Moments Too

Thank You Floral 4x4

These 4" square cards make full use of your beautiful 12 x 12 designer sheets. They also fit nicely into a regular A-2 card size envelope. Thoughts? 

Stamps:

   Art Gallery

Paper:

   Bumblebee 4 x 8 scored @ 4"

   Fine Art Floral DSP 4" Sq.

   Golden Garden Designer Acetate 4" Sq.

   Basic White 3-1/4 x 3-1/2, 3-3/4" Sq. (Inside)

Ink:

   Flirty Flamingo

   Mossy Meadow

   Powder Pink

Technique:

   Punching

Accessories:

   Scalloped Border Punch

   Glittered Organdy Ribbon

   Glue Dots

   Adhesive

First, I adhered the acetate to the designer series paper, using glue dots in the center where the image would be mounted. This way, they are invisible to everyone.

I then stamped my image and sentiment. I used Powder Pink for the base of the flower and Flirty Flamingo as the accent color. The leaves, stem, and sentiment are stamped using Mossy Meadow.

Next, I used the scalloped border punch on the sides of the image. In retrospect, I should have punched strips and adhered them under the image to give it a more even look. Still, this is what makes it quite unique. Mistakes and all...

I wrapped a bit of glittered organdy ribbon around the image and tied a bow.

Lastly, I adhered the designer series paper and acetate panel to the Bumblebee card front and attached the image panel to the center. I adhered the 3-3/4" square of Basic White to the inside of the card.

Sponging along the tear accentuates the image. I also like that the color sprays onto more of the white paper. Thoughts?

I adhered the designer series paper with the acetate panel onto the Old Olive card front.

I then added the image to the center of the card.

I attached a dragonfly that was left-over from a previous project to the card. You can use the Dragonflies punch to create some.

   Adhesive

First, I sponged my Basic White panel with Yo-Yo Yellow, misted it with a bit of water, and dry embossed it with the Tasteful Textile 3D embossing folder.

I then adhered this onto the Basic Black matte and then onto the Strawberry Slush card front.

Next, I stamped the cocktails. This is a two-step stamp set. So, first, I stamped the frames using Tuxedo Black Memento on scraps of Basic White. I then filled them with Strawberry Slush, Watermelon Wonder, and Pale Papaya.

I then die cut them using the matching dies.

I colored the umbrellas, fruit slice, and stems, using markers. I attached them onto the card front using dimensionals.

I then rubbed the Black and Strawberry Slush scraps with the embossing buddy to get them ready for heat embossing.

Next, I stamped the sentiments using VersaMark on two Basic Black scraps and one Strawberry Slush scrap. I added black embossing powder to "Cocktails" and white embossing powder to the other two pieces. I then heat embossed them.

I arranged them onto the card front and adhered them with adhesive.

Lastly, I added a few pop-up stickers from my stash and adhered the other Basic White panel to the inside of the card.
