Making sympathy cards has always been a challenge for me. The pattern papers I purchase are usually "happy" designs, and it's been easier just to purchase cards. This year I decided to take up that challenge.
I found a great deal on eBay and purchased a set of clear stamps that are all greeting-card sentiments. (It was an MSE set.) I found some pattern papers that are pretty but not whimsical. And, as usual, I set up the Cuttlebug machine.

I like the pairing of pink and green, which I used on the first card. One of my favorite packs of card stock is a "botanical" set that has two shades of pink, two shades of green, and off-white. I also like the second card because the gate fold is something different from what I usually make. (I had a link to a video here, until I discovered that the link no longer worked.)
What beautiful cards! What a nice way to show you care during a difficult time.
ReplyDeleteI love your cards! Very pretty.
