Sympathy Cards at The Rubber Buggy

Hi today at The Rubber Buggy I am sharing some Sympathy cards. There are some fabulous dies out there that help make sympathy cards soft, elegant but send the reciever some heart felt wishes during this trying time.

Supply List:

Dies:  tutti 267 Fluttering Butterflies,   Tutti word set Sympathy, Memory Box 99735 Butterfly Spectacle (out of stock) 

Glue: Beacon 3-in-1 Glue, 

Ink: Tim Holtz Vintage Photo
Stamping tool: Sweet Petunia mini Misti,
Machine/ tools: Vagabond
Other: Cardstock, papers from my stash

For stamping I use Mini Misti and Tim Holz Distress inks. My favourite glue is beacon 3-in-1 for small and large pieces. (there is a nack to drawing a fine line with this glue .. practice makes it easier so keep trying) 

When doing these type of cards pick soft colours, use some layers, pick soft accents (flowers, butterflies, birds etc) and keep them simple and elegant. 

 

Thanks for stopping by... hope to see you again soon.... but in the mean time be sure to stop by the STORE where these items and so many others are available. Also take note of all the products that aren't carried in our regular local stores. ... AND the service is A1.

Thank You Card at Dies R Us

Hi .. How are you today? This DT project for Dies R Us showcases an Easel style Thank You card made using some die cuts, super fun layers for depth and dimension along with Scraperfect Best Glue Ever and Vintage Photo inking on all the edges.. 

Supply List:

Dies: Memory Box Perky Thank You, Frantic Stamper Die Lovely Arched Loop Edger

Glue: ScraPerfect Best Ever Glue
Ink: Tim Holtz Vintage Photo
Machine/ tools: Big Shot Express,
Other: Cardstock, Echo Park Alice in Wonderland, metal brad

To start you make you base for standard card of use ready made from store. The front cover of base card is then folded in half as per above. We will then cut another cardstock single base the size of the card to work on.

So using the single base cardstock you cut you pull paper and die cuts you hope to use and star cutting them. I chose a forest green background... then cut the white border edge. I pulled the floral print and used the die to cut just the border edge to match the white border where it would fit.

Here is the layers all assembled.

I then using a centre forest green border to help pop the white sentiment "Thank You".

On the inside of card I backed with forest green, added the floral print and die cut another white die cut border.

I added an extra thin strip to separate the floral from the white.

From the side now you can see the folded front cover waiting for the single white piece that we totally finished to add to it. You only add glue to the half fold and place the front single accented piece matching up the edges and keeping things straight.

The lip of the scalloped border will serve and the stopping edge to make your card stand up.

When placing into the envelope just fold it down flat and your done.
