An Unexpected Autumn Sympathy Card

I’m guessing most people would think that the Jar of Haunts stamp set would be appropriate for a sympathy card.  I would have to agree with that thought unless you chose to use the pumpkin and pair it with the Suite Seasons stamp set.  What you end up with is an unexpected Autumn sympathy card.  I used the Petals & Paisley Specialty Designer Series Paper and the coordinating ribbon from the 3/8″ Ribbon Trio Pack.

Jar of Haunts

Today’s Color Palette

colors-70

Ready, Set, Cut

Delightful Dijon:  8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″ scored at 4 1/4″

Cajun Craze: 4″ x 5 1/4″

Petals & Paisleys DSP: 5 1/4″ x 2″

Delightful Dijon Ribbon: 6″

Watercolor Paper:  Scrap to cut Oval

For this card first I attached the DSP to the bottom edge of the Cajun Craze card stock.  Next I attached the ribbon to cover up where the DSP and card stock meet and wrapped it around the back.  This layer was then attached to the card base.  I stamped the pumpkin from Jar of Haunts in Stazon ink so that I could water color with my Aqua Painter and Cajun Craze and Old Olive ink.  The sentiment from Suite Seasons was stamped in Cajun Craze and the oval was cut out using the Layering Ovals Framelits.

  1. I think this is my favorite card. Of course I had to buy the stamp set to get the pumpkin. ☺

  2. Ha! I love when that happens… you think to yourself “I don’t need that stamp set”…and then you see something made with it and it changes everything.
