HANDMADE SYMPATHY CARD
I’m excited to unveil a heartfelt creation using the upcoming Thoughtful Expressions Bundle from Stampin’ Up. This exquisite bundle, set to launch on Thursday, January 4 (in the January – April Mini Catalog), showcases a breathtaking hummingbird design perfect for adding a touch of grace to your projects. Join me as we delve into the creation of a sympathy card using this beautiful set, paired with the stunning Distressed Gold paper and the Flight and Airy Designer Series Paper, a free gift during Saleabration.
Crafting with Thoughtful Expressions:
My focal point, the Thoughtful Expressions Bundle, features a captivating hummingbird stamp and coordinating dies. To infuse warmth and comfort into our creation, I opted to color the hummingbird with Stampin’ Blends Alcohol Markers. The result is not just a card but a heartfelt expression of sympathy. I have some helpful video links for learning to color with Stampin’ Blends markers below in the Instructions section.
Elegance in Background:
Choosing the opulent Distressed Gold paper for the background adds a layer of sophistication to our sympathy card. The metallic finish and rich texture provide a serene backdrop, complementing the thoughtful sentiment we aim to convey.
Free Gift Alert:
Flight and Airy Designer Series Paper: To enhance the card’s visual appeal, I adorned the front with the Flight and Airy Designer Series Paper, a complimentary gift during Saleabration with qualifying orders. This paper, with its delicate patterns, introduces an element of lightness and tranquility to our creation.
Versatility of the Arrow Fun Fold:
As part of my ongoing Arrow Fun fold series, this card design not only conveys sympathy but can be transformed for various occasions by simply changing the sentiment. The Arrow Fun fold adds an extra layer of creativity, making the card both visually appealing and versatile.
Sharing the Craft: Video Tutorial and Free PDF:
For those looking to recreate this heartfelt creation, I’ve prepared a step-by-step video tutorial, showcasing the Arrow fold technique process. Additionally, a free PDF step by step tutorial, complete with a template, is available for download. Crafters can find the resources below to embark on their creative journey.
Save the Date:
Launching Thursday, January 4! Mark your calendars as the January – April Mini Catalog and Saleabration launch on Thursday, January 4. Let this card inspire you to create meaningful expressions of sympathy and support, knowing that it can be adapted for any occasion simply by changing the sentiment.
