Today I'm sharing a non-celebratory card. It's actually my first creation featuring the upcoming Rose Wonder stamp set and coordinating Rose Garden Thinlits dies.
I had just received this beautiful stamp set and coordinating dies when the need arose for sympathy cards.

I hoped to keep the entire creation clean and subtle. The same rose outline die was used to create a subtle indentation on the inside by using a rubber embossing mat beneath the die instead of placing the die and card stock directly upon the cutting plate.
I adore using the Misti placement tool for exact placement of stamps, especially in precise situations such as I needed on this card, both front and inside.
Here's to a sweet last week of 2015 to you! May your creative endeavors be fruitful! Please contact me at any time for your paper crafting needs or questions. I truly enjoy being your Stampin' Up! demonstrator and hopefully a creative inspiration for you as well.
Inky (((hugs))),

Hi Bev,
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card. I wonder if you would mind sharing how you cut your flower so only part of it was cut? Did you fussy-cut it? Gorgeous, for sure.

Just beautiful, Bev. I'm sorry you need a sympathy card. I am glad you showed the inside here. I love it so much.
ReplyDeleteThank you both, Linda and Brenda!
ReplyDeleteLinda, yes. I laid the die atop the Soft Suede card stock & traced the outline with a pencil. Then I cut along the outer edge of the image tracing. My goal was simply to have a small margin of the suede card stock, leaving an open space on the vanilla base for the sentiment. ;)

Hi Bev, This is a beautiful card. I love how you layered it. I also love what you did to the inside of this card. It is definitely a WOW factor.
ReplyDeleteBev, WOW! that is an absolutely baautiful card....sorry that you needed a sympathy card, but it is so lovely that I am sure your friends will be touched that you made it for them.
ReplyDeleteHow gorgeous, Bev!
ReplyDeletePerfect in it's simplicity!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card. Thanks for sharing how you fussy cut the image.
ReplyDeleteI think I have found what I was looking for all afternoon. I was hoping for a video but the information you posted may be enough for this "ole" brain to comprehend.
ReplyDeleteWhat I have been searching for was to make a Sympathy card with the rose wonder die but "not" cut it out. Could not find any thing today regarding this. My thought is to make a white card with a white rose and emboss it with the thinlit.
Also, I just received yesterday the mail the Misti that I ordered.
My plan is to stamp my rose wonder card using my Misti and I see you used your Misti on this card too. I think it was meant to be for me to find my way to your blog.
Love your card.
I messed up the first several tries.
ReplyDeleteCan you tell me the sandwich secret. I was using the two tan embossing pads. I did use on top of the pad a clear SU plate. No tabs were used on the big shot plate.
The rose has too much embossing to it and the paper is cracking and tearing.
Thanks, Lora
