Make It Monday Sympathy Card
Welcome! Polly Robin here with another Make It Monday post. Unfortunately, I find myself in need of a sympathy card today so I thought I’d share with you how I made this one. I knew I wanted to keep it simple, so I went looking through my stash for some pretty, yet tranquil patterned papers. I found exactly what I needed in the You Give Me Wings Kit by Rachel Jefferies:
That was the hardest part of this card – finding just the right paper! Now, remember I said I wanted simple? That is exactly what I did. Here are my steps:
- I printed out a paper and cut two rectangles out of it. The first was 4-1/8 by 5-3/8 and the smaller one was 3-3/4 by 5 inches
- I matted both with a black cardstock cut just slightly bigger
- I adhered craft foam onto the back of the smaller cardstock to give it some dimension and then stacked the smaller rectangle one on top of the larger one.
- I created a sentiment with a stamp and die cut, which I used foam tape to adhere to the front of the card.
This is what I came up with:
Sometimes simple is better and seems appropriate in this case. Thank you for checking out my card!
