I won’t get into details, but I recently heard of another in my world who just passed on. The older I get, sadly the more sympathy cards I need. I made this one with the versatile Flourishing Phrases stamp set and the Wood Textures designer paper.

Measurements:

• Early Espresso cardstock: 4-1/4″ x 11″ scored at 5-1/2″ and folded in half for the card base
• Wood Textures designer paper: two strips that measure 1/2″ x 4″
• Champagne Foil Sheet: 2-1/8″ x 4″
• Pear Pizzazz cardstock: 4″ x 5-1/4″ for the inside of the card
• Old Olive 1/8″ Sheer Ribbon: about 12″

Products:  See below for a full list of supplies linked to where you can find them in my online store.

Directions/Tips:

• Stamp the flourish image with Early Espresso ink on the Early Espresso card base up to the right and down to the left. It’s okay if the image overlaps in the middle. You’ll be covering that area.
• Stamp the outside sentiment onto the upper right corner of the designer paper. Stamp the inside sentiment onto the Pear Pizzazz cardstock, then adhere to the inside of the card.
• Attach the designer paper to the strips of Champagne Foil paper so about 1/8″ peeks out above and below.
• Tie on the ribbon, then add to the front of the card using Dimensionals.

There are many sentiment images in this stamp set. So you really could change this up and make it into a birthday, congrats, thank you, or anniversary card instead. Plus the Woodgrain Textures designer paper gives the card a more masculine or gender-neutral look. So the options for who you give this card to are even greater.

Hug the ones you love. We are only blessed with so much time together.
