Hello
Today is a card
we all dread having to make, a sympathy card.
If I had more
time I would have had a good look through all my files and folders as I have
collected quite a few now, but I needed to get one made and posted so used a
lovely cd by Kraftyhands called In Sympathy
The cd offers card
making sets, 2 part toppers, tag toppers, backing papers and verse gallery.
I chose the card
making set, this was sheet 1 & 2 if you like it.
The set is to
fit a square card, I believe it’s 5.5x5.5 but its a gatefold design so to start
I use an unfolded sheet of card. I tend to stick the main part in the centre of
the card, then I score either side of it, then stick the inside gatefold fold
sheets in place.
I bend both
sides towards the centre to make sure I don’t end up with a gap.
Next I add the
side pieces first, they are a good fit so no measuring is needed. Now I am on
to the topper, to start with I stuck it to a piece of card for support then I
cut it out and added strong double sided tape to the left half only and stuck
it centrally to my card front
And that is the
card finished.
As I said it’s
not the nicest card to have to make but I like this cd because it’s not the
normal cross or lilies, and the inside panel has a lovely verse incorporated into
the design.
See you again
tomorrow
Hugs
