Sheetload of Fall Sympathy Cards

Hello everyone!  Today I am back with another SheetLoad of Cards.  This time is a a group of sympathy cards with a fall theme.  The SheetLoad of Card sketch I used was November 2020.
The patterned papers were from DCWV's Farmstead Harvest 6x6" stack.  The sentiment was stamped with Unity's I Consider You Special set with SB.com Leather ink.  That was die cut with CC stitched circle dies and popped up with foam tape.  I also used ATG and Bearly Art precision tipped glue on these cards.
Behind the sentiment was the perfect place for a bit of visual interest with GMD Twiggy Branches die cuts.  To embellish, I added score lines around the center panel and also went over those score lines with white gel pen.  I also added gold Pearl Pen dots in the upper right corner.
I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!

Trendy Bakers Twine~Sunflower Box Card

Good morning!  Today I am on the Trendy Twine blog with a delightful fall box card.  Sunflowers are such a beautiful sign of fall and they always make me smile.  This one features our Trendy Twine of the month, Totally Chocolate.
I started with the Sunflower Envelope Box Card file from My Scrap Chick and cut it all out with my Silhouette Cameo.  For the center of the sunflower, I really wanted a lot of visual interest, so I wrapped the whole thing in a spiral of Totally Chocolate Trendy Twine.  To do that, I started with red lined tape in the center, then towards the outside I glued it down with Bearly Art precision tip glue.  I also glued Chocolate Truffle sequins to the center of the flower and the card front.  The sentiment was from the APB Happy Thanksgiving stamp set and was stamped in SB.com Leather Ink.  That same color of ink was used on the edges of most of the die cuts before assembly to make the card look a bit more rustic.

Here's what I used from Annie's Paper Boutique:

I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!

Neutral Colors Sympathy Card

Hello friends!  Today I am sharing a single sympathy card with you.  It was a quick one due to the fact that I used a sketch with it.  The sketch I used was MFT sketch #49.  If you aren't familiar with MFT sketches, they have pages and pages of them you can print out and use to create with!
The patterned papers are from Craft Smith Natural Luxury paper pad (my favorite for sympathy cards!).  The sentiment stamp is retired from My Craft Spot's Deepest Sympathy set.  I die cut around the sentiment with GMD scalloped stitched rectangle die, matted it and popped it up with foam tape.  I used a gold thread nest under the sentiment for extra visual interest.  I did chop the upper right corner off, exposing the white card base and added a trio of pearl pen dots in bronze.
I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!

A Bunch of Girl Cards

Good morning!  Yesterday I shared a group of boy birthday cards I created from the 6x6 Echo Park All Boy paper pad.  Today I am sharing the group of girl cards I created with the 6x6 Echo Park All Girl paper pad!
The first style of card is made using the SheetLoad of Cards May 2020 sketch.  Embellishments include a button die cut, Totally White Trendy Twine and sequins.  The setiment was created on my computer and printed off.
The second style of card was made with the SheetLoad of Cards August 2019 sketch.  The stamp is from APB Smile set and stamped with black ink.  I added a die cut flower and a single pink brad to embellish.
The next cards were made using the SheetLoad of Cards April 2020 sketch.  Embellishments include enamel dots.  The setiment was created on my computer and printed off then die cut with Pink Fresh Studio fancy label frames dies.
Here is the unicorn version of the same sketch.
To be honest, I wasn't 100% LOVING the girl cards, partly because I was having troubles matching solid color cardstocks with the prints.  I stopped after 8 cards even though the boy set I made was 10 cards.  Which one do you prefer?  The boy set or the girl set?  You can see all the details on the boy cards HERE if you missed that post.
I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!
