Looking for something soft and beautiful to convey your sympathy? This easy-to-make floral card is perfect for those unexpected occasions.
Today’s sweet floral sympathy card comes from our designer, Dominique, who is using our pre-made flowers that come in our “Delightful Dahlia” paper pad. This clean and simple sympathy card is fast and easy to make, which is perfect for those unexpected needs that come up suddenly. While it’s unfortunate when we have to give a loved one a sympathy card, a handmade card with a heartfelt message could help lift their spirits. Follow the steps below to create your own.
- Cut two colors of flowers from the 2017-Delightful Dahlia Paper Pad using the coordinating die 2017/3316D Delightful Dahlia Paper Pad Coordinating Die.
- Die cut the 5735D Lattice Cover Die from white cardstock and set aside.
- Take a clear stamping block and dab some ink onto its surface, then spritz with water. I will be using Blush and Lavender inks. Next, ‘smooch’ the color onto a 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 case panel. his technique is something I learned from one of our previous design team members, Melinda Stearns. After adding the shimmer mist to the panel (though it may not show in photos, it’s very pretty in person), let it dry. Once dry, adhere the Lattice Cover die panel to this panel.
- Add some double sided foam tape to the back of your flowers, then arrange the flowers and cards onto your card and tape down.
- Stamp your sentiment onto a banner from 5605-03D Off Set Tags Die. I will be using the sympathy stamp from 3440 Sympathy Phrases Set. Trim the banner down if needed.
- Once your card panel is complete, adhere it to a 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 card base.
