Floral Sympathy or Wedding Special Occasion Card

This is the third card from the July Come Stamp With Me Special Occasions Card Class.  This card like all the other cards from this class can be used for a variety of special occasions; birthday, retirement, anniversary, wedding, sympathy, thinking of you, thank you, friend, etc.  Let your creative mind think of all the possibilities you can create.  I encourage people to use my card designs for inspiration and then make changes to make it your own design.  I was actually inspired by Mikela, another Demonstrator for this card.  I made only a few changes to her card.  Or you can use my samples and instructions to make the same card.  What is most important is to have fun and be creative.  Enjoy!

When Stampin' Up introduced their new color

revamp in June, I fell in love with Soft Sea Foam,

which is the card base for this card.  It is a very

soft green shade and hard to see in photos. The 

sentiment layer is die cut with the Petals & More Dies

using SU Shimmery White cardstock. 

The sentiment option, Congratulations, can be 

used for many different occasions; graduation,

promotion, new job, engagement, or any of the 

occasions mentioned above.

The right corner of both cards are made using 

SU Shimmery White cardstock and SU Springtime

Die Cuts.  It is adhered to the card using a 

Tombow Mini Dot runner.  The flowers are

die cut from the Springtime floral corner

using SU Flirty Flamingo and SU Powder Pink

cardstock.  The leaves are punched with the

Leaf Punch using SU Soft Sea Foam cardstock (2)

and SU Vellum paper (3).  The card is further

enhanced by using SU Artisan Pearls.

This is the inside of the card with 1 vellum leaf, 1 

flirty flamingo flower, and 1 powder pink flower.

There is no inside sentiment to leave the option open

for you to decide if you want a sentiment or want it

blank to write a special message.
