Creating a sympathy card using the Stampin' Up Layered Floral 3D Embossing Folder can be a touching way to convey your condolences. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you craft a beautiful and heartfelt sympathy card:

Materials Needed:

  • Stampin' Up! Layered Floral 3D Embossing Folder
  • Cardstock (preferably in a neutral or soft color like white, cream, or light pastels)
  • Ink pads (optional: for added color)
  • Die-cutting machine (like a Big Shot)
  • Sentiment stamp or printed sentiment (with a sympathy message)
  • Adhesive (glue or double-sided tape)
  • Embellishments (optional: pearls, ribbon, etc.)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare Your Card Base:
    • Cut and fold a piece of cardstock to your desired card size. A common size for sympathy cards is A2.
  2. Emboss the Card Front:
    • Place a piece of cardstock in the Stampin' Up Layered Floral 3D Embossing Folder.
    • Run it through your die-cutting machine. This will create a beautifully textured floral design on your cardstock.
  3. Add Color (Optional):
    • If you want to add color to the embossed design, you can lightly sponge ink onto the raised areas of the embossed pattern. Use a soft color to maintain the card's gentle and respectful tone.
  4. Prepare the Sentiment:
    • Choose a sympathy sentiment stamp or print a sentiment from your computer.
    • Stamp or print the sentiment on a coordinating piece of cardstock. You can use colors that match the card base or the embossed design.
  5. Assemble the Card:
    • Adhere the embossed piece to the front of your card base using adhesive.
    • Attach the sentiment to the front of the card. You can use dimensional adhesive to make the sentiment stand out.
  6. Add Embellishments (Optional):
    • For an extra touch of elegance, add embellishments like small pearls, a ribbon, or other subtle decorations. Be careful not to overdo it, as simplicity often conveys sympathy best.
  7. Write a Personal Message:
    • Inside the card, write a heartfelt message to express your condolences. Personal touches like a fond memory or a few kind words can mean a lot during difficult times.

Tips:

  • Keep the design simple and elegant to convey a sense of respect and sympathy.
  • Use colors that are calming.
  • The message inside the card is sincere.
