This month I have taken some time off. Its not been easy to get back into the swing of things after some family members passed away. About all I can do is tackle one project at a time from business to home life. The last things on my ta do list is talk about any ones passing much less have cards on hand for this event. Sympathy cards is not one of my favorite must haves. I have been putting this subject off for a very long time (years). Between last month (June) and this month (July) I’ve managed to make a small handful. But the thought of having just a few isn’t exactly enough. I feel that I need to make more. For a Sympathy Cards the ones I do have turned out fabulous. Before I even began I did do a bit of research, mostly on You Tube. I gathered inspiration and I found myself grabbing supplies. Most of the You tube videos I didn’t even bother to watch. Pictures is all I needed. The first set of cards, I began with the flowers. Theirs was all white, but I chose to go black and white. Once I had the flowers done. The mats and card base became the next steps. I had this one die that I hadn’t even used as it was fairly new. Plopped it down on my first mat and ran it thru the Cuttle Bug. The result was surprising.. Fancy cut.. Anyway, see below for the finished product.
