A set of six simple and beautiful Sympathy cards was project 6 at our Stampin’ Sisters Retreat.
It’s always a good thing to have on hand and these cards go together super fast, yet they’re stunning cards.
Then we switched up the color and stamp set for the feminine cards.
Serene Silhouettes was the stamp set of choice for these cards.
Some of the cards were stamped vertically and some were stamped horizontally.
Here’s what we did. Cut a window in a piece of card stock with the Oval Framelits and used this as a stencil to sponge in.
We laid the stencil over a piece of Very Vanilla card stock which was cut
4″ x 5 1/4″. Then we sponged inside the oval stencil. Once the sponging was done, we removed the stencil and stamped the image over the sponged area and mounted this card stock on a Very Vanilla card base.
Tomorrow we’re on to cards for kids. Super fun, kid friendly cards.
Sadly, our church has had the demise of about four males and I do not have that many masculine cards made up. I searched the Internet for suggestions of quick cards and came upon your website. Directions are clear and I am going to make six masculine to have on hand. Designs are nice – some one-layer cards are too plain.
You are a life-saver!
Hope, I’m sorry to hear of the passing of your church members. I’m happy that these cards fit your need and you can make a bunch up to have on hand.
Thank for some quick ideas for sympathy cards. I suddenly needed one and your ideas were easily done today.
So happy to hear those cards helped you out. That’s the thing with Sympathy cards, you need them when you need them.
