SIMPLE SYMPATHY

Today’s card features the new Peace on Earth Stamp Set and Peaceful Gardens Designer Series Paper (DSP).  I wanted to create a card that used this suite of products for something other than a Christmas card and when I saw a card created by Heidi Collins on Pinterest I decided I would change it a little and make it my own.  Here is what I came up with…

The card base is Cloud Cover cardstock cut to 4 ¼ x 11” and scored at 4 ¼”.  I then added a layer of the Peaceful Gardens DSP that measured 4 x 5 ¼”.  Next, I cut a piece of Cloud Cover cardstock to 2 5/8 x 4 5/8” and added a piece of another of pieces of DSP from the pack that measured 2 ½ x 4 ¼” to the top of it.  I adhered this piece to the center of my card.  Then I moved onto my flag piece, the key to getting the flag portion of this piece cut evenly is to cut the flag out of both the cardstock and the DSP at the same time.  The Cloud Cover cardstock measures 1 5/8 x 3 7/8” and the third DSP I introduced here measures 1 ½ x 3 ¾”.  Once they were cut, I added the flag to the left side about ¼” in from layer two. 

Now it was time for the sentiment.  I stamped the sentiment “With Deepest Sympathy” from the Peace on Earth Stamp Set using Secret Sea Ink onto a scrap of Basic White cardstock and then punched that out with the 1 ¾” Circle Punch.  I layered that onto a 2” circle I created from a scrap of Cloud Cover cardstock and the 2” Circle Punch.  Once layered these circles were added to the card with Dimensionals.  

For the inside of the card, I cut a piece of Basic White cardstock to 4 x 5 ¼” and added a little scrap piece of the DSP that measured ½ x 4”. 

I hope you enjoy this card I certainly enjoyed making it.  As always you can find the supplies to create this card and more on my website at https://www.stampinup.com?demoid=2206796 or by clicking the shopping button at the top of this blog or the link to the supplies listed below.  Be sure to follow me at:
