Simple and Elegant Sympathy Cards

I love making cards for all occasions except one - sympathy card. 

Over the Easter weekend I suddenly needed two sympathy cards.  It's not something I prepare for in advance so I didn't have any on hand so I had to create something simple and elegant very quickly. 

These are what I came up. For both cards I heat embossed the stamped image with Silver Stampin' Emboss Powder and colored in the images with an Aqua Painter and ink pads. I used Shimmery White card stock as a base.  

Card No.1 with Lovely As A Tree stamp set.   

For the second card I used Garden in Blooms stamp set. 

This photo doesn't show how beautiful this card is actually.

Basic to more Advanced Card with Same Stamp Sets

I make lots of Thank You cards every month. It's for my customers and usually mini card, half size of the regular card. 

For this mini Thank You card, I used one of Christmas Stamp Sets from Holiday Catalogue, Christmas Pines. The sentiment is from Thoughtful Banners. Doesn't it look really cute? I stamped little stamps from Christmas Pines Set repeatedly and made a pattern. Those little dots at the top and the bottom of the sentiment label is dots for "Noel". 

 I really like how it looks so I decided to make another in a regular size.  Added something extra. The sentiment is now stamped on Sweet Sugarplum card stock and punched out.

 Then matted the panel onto Sweet Sugarplum card stock.

 Then matted onto a regular size base card.

Well if the original card is Basic, this one is Intermediate?! 

Then I wanted to progress more. I upgraded the sentiment label using both of banners punched out with Duet Banner Punch and added a bow and pearls.

More embellishments and extra panel.  

Tada !! This is an Advanced version.
