Sympathy Card

Sympathy Card

Unfortunately, I have had several occasions to create Sympathy Cards lately.

I generally keep my Sympathy cards clean and neat.  I like the simple elegance of a black and white card and that was the approach I took on this card.

I paired a photograph I had taken with several alternating layers of black and white card stock. I used one of my Martha Stewart border punches and then carried it to the inside of the card, where, in addition to the border punch I also used my butterfly punch.

The sentiment I used for the inside is

In the picture of eternity there is no death, only change. May you endure these days of loss and find a place of peace and understanding.

I hope you have a wonderful day!

Deepest Sympathy Silhouette Cut File - Freebie

Happy Freebie Friday!

I promised on Tuesday that I would share with you the cut file I used to create the "Deepest Sympathy" for the sympathy card I posted here.

This file is for the Silhouette Cameo.  I used my favorite cut font!  I love it because it is delicate, but thick enough to cut and pull away from the cutting pad without ripping.  Believe me, I have left many a phrase in pieces, lol.  Haven't you?  Click here to see the original card.

As I sit here writing this post, I glance over at my cameo and have to chuckle because it is always a challenge to decide if I am going to connect up to it and cut something or pull out my dies.  Do you have a cutting machine and/or dies? How do you decide which one to pull out?

FYI, check out this cute cut file from Daniela Dobson
