Sympathy Card Kit Part 4


Card #1 (above): Here are the rest of the cards I made with the part of the kit that Mom shared with me.  This first one was made by cutting the main image into 5 strips & then matting each on a silver piece of poster board.  The sentiment was from a cutting die that my Mom has (not sure who makes it). Thin Dazzles  borders run horizontally at the top and bottom.  Jewel Dazzles finish the card front.

Inside:

The inside is simply a sentiment from the kit that was matted with silver poster board.  It says, "So wonderful to think of . . . . So hard to be without."

Card #2:

The die cut frame is die cut from Spellbinders Heirloom Legacy 5X7 Card Creator set, matted on a light green from my stash.   I matted the sentiment from the kit with silver poster board, and added a silver bow from my stash.

Inside:


Inside, the sentiment is matted on a piece of silver poster board die cut & embossed with a die from Spellbinders Fleur De Lis Rectangles.  It says, "A butterfly lights beside us like a sunbeam, and for a brief moment, its glory and beauty belong to this world . . . but then it flies on again. And though we wish it could have stayed, we are so thankful to have seen it at all."

Card #3:

My third card in this set is another sympathy card.  Similar to others, it uses a die cut from Mom's die, silver poster board, and a ribbon bow.

Inside:

For the inside, I used another sentiment from the kit, quadruple matting it on pink (Spellbinders Lattice Rectangles die), silver (Spellbinders Fleur De Lis die), green oval (Spellbinders Heirloom Legacy die (cut from card #2 above), and a silver oval (Spellbinders Grand Ovals die).  The sentiment says, "Tears are prayers that travel to God when we cannot speak".

Card #4:

This final card from the materials Mom shared with me is a get well card.  The frame is made by cutting a piece of pink card stock with a Spellbinders die called 5X7 Renaissance Jeweled Frame.  Using another die from the set, I cut the inside piece into the frame you see on the inside of this card.  I drew around the die cut and fussy cut a piece of white paper to form a backing for the frame.  The smallest die in the set was used to back the sentiment, which I had matted with a narrow pink mat.
