Cards- Sympathy

Inked & Tiled for the Tutorial Medley Group

I belong to a private Facebook group of about 16 SU demonstrators.  Each month we design 1 card and tutorial to add to the group.  These are then compiled.  We can use these as we wish.  These demonstrators are located across the USA and Canada.  I choose to share my large tutorial with my Luv 2 Create team and with my customers.  I love being able to share these.

This is the card that I created for August.  I used the Inked & Tiled stamp set from the annual catalog.  There is a little fussy cutting, but it's easy cutting.

I'm not going to go through all the directions here, but I will link the tutorial.  Find it Download Inked & Tiled - August 2023 (1)

I hope you enjoy the tutorial.  I'll be sending out the tutorial collection for August later in the month by email.  Meanwhile, here are a few more pictures.

Fragrant Flowers Sympathy Card and a Download Tutorial

For our Tutorial Medley group this month, our theme has been using brand new product from the January-April Mini and the Sale-a-Bration Brochure!  Don't you love using new stuff!  I'm using both of those catalogs for my card today.

Fragrant Flowers Card  Favored Flowers DSP  Metallic Mesh Ribbon  Jo Anne Hewins  Luv 2 Create

This card is beautiful if I do say so myself.  We'll be making this card in my easier class this month.  I had a request for sympathy cards.  We don't want to make them, but it's so nice to have a few made up to use.

Since I have the tutorial written, I won't go into all the details here.  To download, Download Fragrant Flowers Tutorial 

 I will post a few more pictures for the card.

Favored Flowers Designer Series Paper for Sale-a-Bration

There's just one more day until our January-April Mini Catalog and Sale-a-Bration begin.  I get so excited this time of year.  

Today I have a simple fun fold for you using the Favored Flowers Designer Series Paper from SAB.  This paper is so pretty!  If you are a lover of flowers, you will have to have this paper.

Favored Flowers DSP  Country Gingham DSP  Something Fancy  Jo Anne Hewins  Luv 2 Create

The base of this card is Petal Pink CS cut 4 1/4 x 11.  Score at 5 1/2 and then cut off 1 1/4 from the front of the card.

Cut a piece of the Fragrant Flowers paper to 4 x 4 and glue to the front of the card.

Favored Flowers DSP  Country Gingham DSP  Something Fancy  Opal Rounds  Close Up  Jo Anne Hewins  Luv 2 Create

For the saying use a piece of Basic White cut to 1 x 3.  The saying is stamped in Mossy Meadow ink using the Something Fancy stamp set.  Cut a flower out with paper snips.  There are dies in the Fragrant flowers bundle that can cut out the flowers for you.  It does leaves a black border around the flowers.  In this case, I didn't want that border. Add the saying with dimensionals.  Add the flower.  Part will need to be glued to the saying.  The part extending over the saying will need more dimensionals.

Embellish with Elegant Faceted Gems.

Cut a piece of the Country Ginghams Designer Series Paper for the inside of the card.  This pack of paper is in the mini catalog.  Cut 1 1/4 x 4.  You will see this paper from the front of the card.

The saying is from the Good Feelings stamp set in the annual catalog.  I used the Stamparatus for this so that I would have a good solid dark saying.

Hope & Prayer with Texture Chic Designer Series Paper

I just recently got the stamp set Hope & Prayer.  It's on page 71 of the annual catalog.  This is a great set for a religious card.  I think it would be good for a sympathy card as well.  

Hope and Prayer  Texture Chic DSP  Simply Elegant Trim  Champagne Rhinestone Basic Jewels  Stylish Shapes dies  Metallics Embossing Powders  Jo Anne Hewins  Luv 2 Create

For this card I also used the Texture Chic Designer Series Paper.  I don't use gold very much, but I really do like how this card turned out.  I used a base of Thick Basic White 4 1/4 x 11.  Score at 5 1/2 and use a Bone Folder to burnish the fold.

Cut the DSP to 4 1/4 x 5 1/2.  Glue to the front of the card.  I like to use glue because it has a little give to it, but not for long.  This paper will cover the entire front of the card.  If you end up with a little white from the base showing, just trim it off.  Cut off any extra you might have with paper snips.  If you turn to the back and cut it seems easier for me.

Hope and Prayer  Texture Chic DSP  Simply Elegant Trim  Champagne Rhinestone Basic Jewels  Stylish Shapes dies  Metallics Embossing Powders  Close Up of Card  Jo Anne Hewins  Luv 2 Create

For the saying stamp on Basic White with Versamark.  Before stamping use an Embossing Buddy over the surface to remove static.  SU does sell this item in the July-December Mini on page 49.  It's part of a kit called the Embossing Additions Tool Kit.  Use the Gold EP that's part of the Metallics Embossing Powders.  Our Heat Tool is used to melt the powder into beautiful gold.  At the same time stamp and emboss the dove.

Cut the saying out with the Stylish Shapes dies.  Cut the larger fatter banner at the same time using a different print from Texture Chic.  Fussy cut the dove with paper snips.

Cut the banner from the DSP in half.  To make the banner appear longer glue the banner parts on each side of the circle.  I used the lines on my Grid Paper to make sure the sides are straight.  You might even trace the sides of the banner on the back of the circle before you cut it.  Add to the card near the bottom of the card.  Use dimensionals or Foam Adhesive Sheets to add the circle and banner.  Did you know that you can cut the foam sheets with dies.  I cut the next smallest circle from the foam for this purpose using the Stylish Shapes.

The gold trim is from the Simply Elegant Trim from the annual catalog.  I put a glue dot right above the circle and looped the trim back and forth using the glue dot to hold it.  Use a dimensional and glue dots to add the dove.

Complete the card with some of the Champagne Rhinestone Basic Jewels.

Gold embossing is a technique that I don't use that often.  Every time, though, it's like magic.  Why don't I do that more???  I think I'll make a few more of these cards.  It's really pretty and it's not that hard to do.  Thanks for stopping by today.  I appreciate it!

Wonderful World Sympathy Card

Sometimes easy is good, right?  If you don't mind a little measuring and cutting this is the card for you!  It also uses the beautiful Wonderful World bundle that you can earn with purchase during Sale-a-Bration.

Wonderful World Sympathy  Deckled Rectangle dies  Inspired Thoughts  Quartrefoil Tile EF  JO Anne Hewins  Luv 2 Create

Usually when I need a sympathy card, I need it in a hurry and I want it to be pretty.  This card fills that bill.

Begin with a base of Thick White card stock.  It measures 4 1/4 x 11 and folds in the middle at 5 1/2.  Remember to score the thick white.  It will fold much easier and use a Bone Folder to burnish.

I used the Quatrefoil Tile Embossing Folder.  I hadn't used it before, but I love it!  I see more projects in the future with this one.  My white paper size is 4 x 5 1/4.  Glue to the card front.

Wonderful World Sympathy  Deckled Rectangle dies  Inspired Thoughts  Quartrefoil Tile EF Close Up  Jo Anne Hewins  Luv 2 Create

Paper sizes are:  Purple leaves 2 1/4 x 5 1/4, Flowers 2 x 4, Green leaves 1/2 x 4.

The saying is from the Inspired Thoughts stamp set.  Stamp on white scrap in Orchid Oasis.  Use the Deckled Rectangles dies to cut it out.  Add the saying with dimensionals.

Embellish with a beautiful bow using the Orchid Oasis Metallic Ribbon and some of the 2022-2024 In Color Matte Decorative Dots.

Wonderful World Sympathy Card  Deckled Rectangle dies  Inspired Thoughts  Quartrefoil Tile EF  Orchid Oasis Metallic Ribbon  Inside of Card  Jo Anne Hewins  Luv 2 Create

For the inside I've used another saying from Inspired Thoughts.  Fussy cut one of the flowers from the designer paper to add.

Short and sweet today.  Thanks for choosing to visit me today!
