Blackberry Beauty Sympathy card
The Blackberry Beauty papers are stunning. I choose this paper to use in a sympathy card.
Card Base: Cut 8 ½ X 11 paper in half widthwise. You now have two pieces 8 ½ X 5 ½ . Fold one of the pieces in half lengthwise for your card front. The card front now measures 4 ¼ X 5 ½.
Card Mat: Cut Early Espresso paper 4 X 5 1/4
Card Front: Cut Blackberry Beauty paper 3 7/8 X 5 ⅛
Attach card front to the Early Espresso card mat.
Cut 6” of Early Espresso ribbon and attach ribbon to the lower edge of the card front/card mat. Attach card front/card mat to the blackberry card base.
Stamp sentiment with blackberry ink on strip of Very Vanilla. Punch out stamped sentiment.
Cut Blackberry punched piece in half and attach half to each side of stamped punched piece. Attach this piece over ribbon with Stampin dimensionals.
That’s it; you have finished your card front. For the inside of your card, cut a piece of Very Vanilla 4 X 5 ¼. Stamp a sentiment or write a note before attaching this piece inside your card.
