Hi Everyone,
I needed to make a Sympathy card tonight, and due to working late didn’t get up to my shed until after 9.30pm so I had to get a shimmy on.
I struggle with sympathy cards, and had two go’s to get it right tonight, the first card was ok, but it wasn’t doing it for me and it wasn’t until I went to make an envelope for the first card that the second card just came to me 🙂
I used a pale blue flocked paper from a me and my big ideas baby boy 12 x 12 stack, there are a lot of real nice papers in it.
I made the envelope out of matching paper and used red line tape to hold it together, given that the paper is so fuzzy.
Supplies list:-
- White Linen Cardstock cut to make a 4.5″ x 4.5″ card
- Me and My Big Ideas Baby Boy 12 x 21 stack
- RedLine Tape
- Scotch Double Sided Foam Tape
- Clearly Besotted With Sympathy Stamp
- Memento Tuxedo Black Ink
- We r Memory Keepers Envelope Punch Board
- Fiskars Paper Trimmer
- Martha Stewart Scoring Board
- Tonic Studios Butterfly Punch
- 2mm Silver Self Adhesive Pearls
As always, thanks for popping round, I’m off to my wee bed now,busy day at work tomorrow again (month end).
See you soon

Beautiful card Sarah. I love the paper. It’s so ‘fitting’ for the circumstances.
The dies you use for cutting the sentiment squares … do they come ready made with the stitching? If so … what are the dies, please? I’ve been trying to locate some square dies with stitching already built in.

Thankyou 🙂
