Friendly Foliage, Beautiful Patterns, Banner Sayings, Sympathy Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I needed to make a sympathy card to bring with us tomorrow.  I found one on Pinterest and thought I'd give it a try. You can see the original card by clicking here.  There was no link to the card so I was unable to get any measurements. Please read on to see how the card was made.

The base of the card is a folded half-sheet of Basic White card stock. It opens on the right and the fold is on the left. 

I cut a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Basic White that I textured using the "Beautiful Pattern" embossing folder. I glued it to the front of the card and set it under my stamping mat to keep the piece flat while the glue set up.

The top layer is a 2-1/2" x 3-3/4" piece of Basic White card stock was cut for the focal piece. I stamped the image from the "Friendly Foliage" bundle using black Memento ink. Then I cut the center out using a matching die from the bundle. I added a scrap piece of Basic Black to the back and then Dimensionals were added to the back and it was set in place on a 2-5/8" x 3-7/8" piece of Basic White card stock. 

A 4-1/8" x 2-7/8" piece of Basic White was cut for the next layer. I taped those two layers together. Then I removed the backing from the Dimensionals on the focal piece and set it on top of the those two Basic White pieces. 

Then all of that was glued in place on the center of the card. 

The words are from the "Peace on Earth" set using black Memento ink. I cut them out using the die from the "Banner Sayings" bundle. I set it in place on the front of the card using Dimensionals on the right and bottom and glue on the left and middle and the card was done.

This card has lots of layers but yet it went together pretty fast. 

Thank you SO much for taking your time to stop in and see today's sympathy card,
