Category: 2024 JANUARY – FEBRUARY SALE-A-BRATION BROCHURE

Today I have a card that most of us don’t really ever want to need to make.

A sympathy card is such a special way to let someone you know that you are thinking of them in their time of loss and sorrow.

I think that the card I have to share with you today is a very elegant sympathy card.

Featuring the Gold Foiled FLowers Cards & Envelopes, I decided to make a Slimline Card.

I used the full length of the Gold Foiled Flowers Card and cut it to 3 1/4″wide.

This panel was attached to a slightly larger panel of Lost LAgoon cardstock. Then I attached some lengths of Lost Lagoon Bordered Ribbon to the back of each side of this layer, bringing them around to the front and tied a simple knot. The ribbon ends were then trimmed back.

I adhered this payer to the card base.

My next step involved cutting Lost Lagoon, Gold Foiled Flowers Card and Very Vanilla panels using the Everyday Details Dies.

These three panels were overlapped and then placed on the card front with dimensionals.

I cut some thin strips from the remaining Gold Foiled FLowering Card and added them inside the card and to the envelope.

To finish the card, I added some Lost Lagoon embellishments from the Tinsel Gems Three-Pack.

Tomorrow I have a 3D project to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping.

As I mentioned yesterday, this week is all about the Heartfelt Hexagon Bundle and Gold Foiled Flower Cards & Envelopes.

Today’s tecnique is heat embossing and using a mask.

I cut the laser cut flap from the back of the envelope to use as a mask for this project. Make sure you have at least 1″ of the solid envelope paper to keep a clear margin over the cardstock.

TIP: Use a slightly larger than usual piece of cardstock for the heat embossed panel and tape it to your Glass Mat or grid paper. Then tape the mask over the cardstock. This will ensure the card and mask don’t slip around.

Then I tapped Versamark over the mask and sprinkled the gold embossing powder over the mask. Using the Embossing Additions Tool Kit is perfect for heat embossing.

Carefully remove the mask and use the Heat Tool to ‘melt’ the powder.

Then I turned the mask around and taped it in place. I left a space between the two masked areas. Repeat the heat embossing process.

Then I trim the heat embossed cardstock down to a size that worked for my project. Multipurpose Liquid GLue was used to adhere it to the card base.

The sentiment was stamped using the same embossing process. Then Ipunched it using the Heartfelt Hexagon Punch.

I wrapped a length of gold ribbon, from the Gold & Silver 1/8″ Trim Combo. behind the punched piece. It was added to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I took the trimmed embossed edges and used them inside the card and on the envelope.

Finally, I added some of the gold sequins, from the Neutrals Adhesive-Backed Sequins, to the card.

Tomorrow I will usng the Heartfelt Hellos Stamp Set.

Until then, happy stamping.
