Sympathy Card Kit Part 2

Today I was back to crafting with Mom using her Sympathy Card Kit.  Once again, though, I'm not using all the materials for sympathy cards!

Card #1: First up is this card edged with orange & black (see above).  The orange is from a long-ago scrapbook kit in my stash - a frame that I commandeered to make this mat.  A smaller black mat is on top of that, and then the background paper from the kit - which also servers as focal.  The sentiment was stamped with a stamp from JustRite's Grand Sentiments set. The butterfly was from my stash - purchased from the dollar store.  The butterfly trail & 3 dots in the upper left were punched from black card stock.

Inside:

Inside is more of the same.  The sentiment says "We miss those we have lost every day, but we are ever thankful for every day we had with them.

Card #2:

This card started out to be another sympathy card, but partway through, it changed course.  My mom loves roses & I needed a Mother's day card, so . . . . Sentiment is heat embossed with white powder on dark green card stock (JustRite's  Vintage Rose Medallions - die cut with die from their Vintage Label and Banner set).  The mat is cut from dark green card stock using Spellbinders Renaissance Jubilee Ravenna.

Inside:

Inside is another dark green mat - cut from another die in the same set as the front mat.  The "you" is a die from a HOTP set called 9 Little Words.  It doesn't come with a shadow, so I drew around the die & fussy cut one from the dark green card stock. The stamp is also from HOTP from their set called You Greetings (stamped with green StazOn ink) onto a white piece of card stock that was also cut using a third die from the Spellbinder's set.  The roses were fussy cut from a sticker I had in my stash.

Card #3:

Here's another sympathy card.  I matted the focal piece onto die cut & embossed green card stock (Spellbinders 5x7 Matting Basics).  I used a white pen to draw along the embossing.  The sentiment was heat embossed (JustRite stamp from Sympathy Vintage Labels) onto a piece of green card stock that was die cut using a die from Spellbinders Renaissance Jubilee Ravenna. Once again I drew around the embossing with a white pen.  The three circles in the lower right corner were punched from green card stock and decorated using the white gel pen.

Inside:

Inside is a printed sentiment from the set, matted on a green piece of card stock that was embossed with a die from Spellbinders A2 Matting Basics.
