This is a nice sympathy card with just some great light colors and a simple design. I love the slight pop of Petal Pink but with the muted gray tones. These flowers from Memorable Blooms worked perfectly.
To create this card, you just need a few things:
- Petal Pink card stock (Stampin’ Up)
- White card stock
- Peony Garden designer series paper (Stampin; Up)
- Memorable Blooms stamp set and dies (Stampin’ Up)
- Mixed Labels stamp set and dies (Stampin’ Up)
- Basic Gray ink (Stampin’ Up)
- Light Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends (Stampin’ Up)
- Light Mint Macaroon Stampin’ Blends (Stampin’ Up)
- Light Basic Gray Stampin’ Blends (Stampin’ Up)
- Peach or white ribbon
- Paper trimmer
- Adhesive of choice
- Pop dots
With the Petal Pink card stock cut your card base to 5 ½” x 8 ½” and fold in half to 4 ¼” x 5 ½”. With your white card stock cut a piece to 4 1/8” x 5 3/8”, one to 3 ½” x 4 3/8” and one to 3 ¾” x 5” for the inside of your card.
Grab your Peony Garden designer series paper pack and find the Basic Gray piece with the decorative design, the Basic Gray with the small chevron design and the Petal Pink speckled piece. With the Basic Gray decorative design piece cut it to 4” x 5 ¼”. With the Basic Gray chevron cut a piece to 2 ¾” x 3 3/8” and another piece to the same measurement with the speckled Petal Pink piece.
With a spare piece of white card stock, find the large floral design stamp in the Memorable Blooms stamp set and with your Basic Gray ink your stamp, stamp off lightly and then stamp the floral design onto your white card stock. Use your Stampin’ Blends to color in the design, with Light Petal Pink for the flowers, you can highlight with the Dark Petal Pink, then the large leaves with the Light Basic Gray and the smaller leaves with the Light Mint Macaroon. Find the die in the Memorable Blooms dies and cut out your large floral for the front.
On the white piece you cut to 3 ¾” x 5” for the inside and stamp the two flowers stamp in the lower left corner and color that in the same colors. With the “Just a note to let you know you are on my mind” from the Mixed Labels stamp set stamp that toward the upper part in Basic Gray ink also stamped off first. Adhere this piece to the inside of your card.
For the front of your card, start with adhering the large white piece and then the large piece in Basic Gray decorative piece. Now lets work on the center, take your Basic Gray small chevron and Petal Pink speckled pieces. Align them on your piece of white paper as a guide with the Basic Gray chevron overlapping the speckled Petal Pink piece. Lay your cut out flower piece toward the middle and find the angle starting with your small flower at the top covering where the gray chevon piece and then angle the stem down until it aligns with the end of the paper. Push down slightly and mark the angle with a pen or pencil and then cut that angle off the top of the gray chevron paper. Adhere your speckled petal pink piece to the top portion of the white piece. Then adhere your Basic Gray chevron piece on the bottom portion. Then adhere your flowers lighted up to cover where to paper meet. Wrap a piece of peach of white ribbon around and tie. With the Mixed Label stamp set find the small “With sympathy” and stamp on a spare piece of white card stock. You the medium size label die from the same set to cut out. Use pop dots to adhere over your ribbon and slightly off of your Basic Gray chevron paper.
This card turn out really pretty and is a nice sympathy card for when you need one.
