I was playing around with the Sweet Soiree Embellishment Kit the other day, and decided I wanted to come up with something unexpected from the kit. The kit is shown on page 13 of the Occasions catalog, but it’s easy to miss with all that’s going on with that two page spread. The Sweet Soiree Embellishment Kit has shiny accessories and embellishments in Old Olive, Flirty Flamingo, Daffodil Delight, Berry Burst and Marina Mist, there are tassels, washi tape, and mini clothes pins. Not necessarily things you automatically use when designing sympathy cards. But wait, there are also lovely vellum die cuts with silver foil floral designs. That’s where it all began for me.
I used the exact same layout for each of the four sympathy cards I made, I just changed up the Sweet Soiree Embellishment and the location of the sentiment. Then I thought, why stop there? Why not birthday cards using the kit?
All that I did different here is instead of the Garden Trellis Embossing Folder, this time I used the Petal Pairs Embossing Folder for the background (running it through twice to cover the whole background). I used Flirty Flamingo cardstock for the oval and Flirty Flamingo ink for the sentiment and “frame”.
