‘Thinking of You’ Card – IBFS

Hi there and happy Wednesday to you.  Hope you’re week is going good.  First, I just want to say, ‘Thank you’ for stopping by my blog.  I know there are thousands upon thousands of paper crafting sites out there and it really means a lot to me that you take the time to stop by and see what I’ve been creating;  I truly do appreciate it.  Just sayin’! :)

 

Okay, so I have a card today that is a sad card to create, but a very needed type of card.  It’s a Thinking of you/Sympathy card.  :(  One of our son’s college classmates just lost her grandfather and although I don’t know her I know what she is going through.  I just wanted to send her a card to let her know that our family cares.

 

I embossed the sentiment on the front and for the life of me, I couldn’t get a full card picture without the glare.  Sorry about that.

Sympathy card

I’ve used My Minds Eye Portabella Road 6×6 paper pad and Stampin’ Up! Not Quite Navy card stock for the papers.  I really like the sentiment for the verse, but also in the way it is written.  I like the flourish around it that creates a sort of frame look.  It made it easy to cut out.  This stamp is called:  Perfect Peace.  Here’s a closer look at it (hopefully with a little less glare).

For the inside of the card, I’ve used 2 different stamp sheets from I Brake for Stamps.  The phrase came from the Inspirational Phrases set, and the butterflies came from the Butterfly Kisses set.    You can order anything off of the I Brake for Stamps website and get 10% off using my personal discount code…it’s SAVE10ROBYN.  It’s more fun to shop and save isn’t it?! :)  Enjoy!

Thank you again for stopping by today.  You’re super special! xx

This is a beautiful sympathy card! I hate making those kinds of cards, too. This will be much appreciated by the recipient. :-)
