Annie’s Ink-Lings
Hello stampers,
Sympathy cards are not one of those fun cards to make, and especially on a overcast and dreary day like today. But they are definitely needed and good to have on hand when one of those sad occasions occur in life. As the librarian for my church and as a card maker, I supply and have available all-occasion cards for my church family. However, sadly, this one is for me to send to my very dear friend whose husband passed away from cancer a few days ago. I decided to share it with you as an idea in case you want to make one to have on hand. Of course, this design can be used for any occasion by just changing the sentiment.
I call this a modified diagonal split panel card because the middle diagonal piece is not discarded but layered between the two 3-D diagonal panels. You can omit the middle panel entirely and stamp a sentiment there instead for a different look. I really like these colors together.
Directions
Card
Base: 8-½ ″ x 5-½ ″ white card stock
Bottom
Layer Patterned Paper: 4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″
Coordinating
Top Layer Patterned Paper: 4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″
1. Glue the bottom
layer patterned paper to the front of the card front.
2. Working on
the Top Layer Patterned Paper, mark in pencil 1-1/4″ to the left of the bottom
right corner, and 2-1/2″ above the bottom right corner. Trim from the top left
corner to these marks, then erase the marks. Discard the center piece or lay
aside if you want to use it in center of the split.
3. Attach the two outside diagonal pieces with foam tape.
4. Your choice
to do this step: With the leftover
center diagonal cut put DS tape on the back.
Center and slide the small tip up under the flower image. Match patterns if there are any. Cut off excess.
5. Stamp image, color, cut out, and attach to
card at top left. For the
inside leaves: color all of them
all over with Apple Green. Shade half
of each leaf with Dark Green.
6. In the center of each flower, put a drop of
Buttermilk Gloss Crystal
Drops.
