Card Chatter—Sympathy Card

I created this sympathy card before I was aware that the Card Chatter—Sympathy stamp set would be returning for Stamptacular.

card created with Card Chatter—Sympathy

To create the oval aperture in the Beautiful Friendship paper I used two centering rulers to help me position the die then I used iCraft Removable Purple Tape to hold the die in place as I ran it though the machine. I then attached the Bashful cardstock to the back of the Beautiful Friendship paper (at the edges), centered a smaller die on the Bashful card, used the Purple Tape to hold the die in place and cut.

The next time you need a sympathy card I hope you will find some inspiration from my card. I hope you have an easy time making it though "hump day"; I know today will be a busy day in my office, but we will be closer to the weekend. I'm looking forward to it.
