The Peaceful Garden set from Stampin’ Up is so pretty and the colors are perfect for making sympathy cards and holiday cards, but also just general cards for any occasion. The silver edged ribbon is also a great addition.
To create this card, you just need a few things:
- Misty Moonlight card stock (Stampin’ Up)
- White card stock
- Peaceful Garden designer series paper (Stampin’ Up)
- Peace on Earth stamp set and dies (Stampin’ Up)
- Silver Edged Ribbon
- Misty Moonlight ink (Stampin’ Up)
- Paper trimmer
- Rectangle or slot punch
- Adhesive of choice
I made this card 5” x 7” card specifically for my office to send to the wife of someone who just passed away that used to work for us so there would be a lot of space for signatures. To start this card, take your Misty Moonlight and cut a card base to 7” x 10” and fold in half for the 5” x 7” card base. With your white card stock cut three pieces (or two if you don’t need all the signing space) to 4 5/8” x 6 5/8”. From the Peaceful Garden designer series paper find the medium blue piece with the white doves, cut a piece of that to 4 ½” to 6 ½”.
Take a spare piece of white card stock, your Misty Moonlight ink and the “Sending” and “Heartfelt Prayers” stamps from the Peach on Earth stamp set and stamp. I trimmed a bit off the bottom of my “sending” stamp so that I could butt it up to the Heartfelt Prayers and others to make it line up so I can stamp it all together. Use the small label die from the Peace on Earth dies to cut that out, and then the large die to cut out a piece of Misty Moonlight. Adhere to white label to the Misty Moonlight label. Use a rectangle punch or slot punch to make a slot in both ends of the labels. Take your Silver Edged Ribbon that came in the suite and fit through one slot and back out the other. From a spare piece of white card stock die cut out a dove (one with both wings up) and then from Secret Sea cut out one of the leaf branches.
Adhere one of your white pieces to the front of your card base. Take the dove paper you cut and adhere your label to the front of the paper, then wrap the ribbon around and adhere to the back. Now adhere the dove paper to the front of your card. Adhere to Secret Sea leaf branch to the right side of your label and then use a few pop dots to adhere your dover over the leaf branch and around your words.
For the inside adhere one (or two if you need the signing space like I did) to the inside of your card. From the Peace on Earth stamp set find the “with deepest Sympathy” and stamp on the inside with your Misty Moonlight ink.
That gives you a really nice sympathy card to give when needed and with enough signature space for multiples if required.
