Luxe White Specialty Designer Series Paper

Hi again everyone,

I hope this is the last Sympathy card I need to make for a while. I have used 2 of the designs from the Luxe White Specialty Paper (#167947) for the background.

The 2 pieces of DSP were matted with the Lemon Lolly from the Pastel Shimmer Specialty Paper (#167198), then attached to the Basic White base card. I used a full sheet of A4 and folded it in half for the card.

I have used the Butterfly Flight Hot Foil Dies (#170045) for the butterfly and this was also foiled onto the Lemon Lolly Pastel Shimmer Specialty Paper.

The sentiment from the retired Peace On Earth stamp set was stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and I used Gold Powder from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powders (#165678) which was set with the Heat Tool (#129056). The sentiment and the frame were cut with a Phrases & Frames Impressions die (#167586). The sentiment and butterfly were attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

Floral Spray Embossing Folder

Hello again my friends,

Another sympathy card today using the beautiful Floral Spray 3D Embossing Folder (#167946). This would also be great for a wedding or anniversary card with a change of sentiments.

I matted the embossed Basic White card (#166781) and the Shimmering Stripes Specialty Designer Series Paper (#168197) with Silver Foil (#163387). The base card is also Basic White. The matted embossed card was attached to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

The sentiment from the retired Painted Glass stamp set was stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and I used the Silver powder from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powders (#165678), then set it with the Heat Tool (#129056).

The sentiment was cut with a Phrases & Frames Impressions die (#167586). These impression dies cut the card, then using the Impressions Plate (#167767) gives deeper embossing. The sentiment was attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals and Mini Glue Dots (#103683).

The cross is cut from a retired die - Cross Of Hope, using Silver Foil, backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334).

The doves are cut from the retired Peace On Earth dies using (retired) Brushed Metallic Cardstock.

The card front was matted with the Gold card and attached to the Basic White base card.

The sentiment from the (retired) So Sincere stamp set was stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and I added Gold Powder from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powders (#165678). This was set with the Heat Tool (#129056). The sentiment and the gold card were cut with a Nested Essentials die (#161597). The sentiment and doves were attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).
