MCT April Release Sneak Peek #3: Wishing You Comfort...

Welcome, welcome to our LAST day of Sneak Peeks before the 16th Edition Release Blog Hop! Today, I'd like to discuss a difficult topic in the craft world: Sympathy Cards.

Sympathy cards are difficult to make because we never want to have to make them. But inevitably, we'll need one here and there. I would like to suggest that you make a few sympathy cards to add to your stash. If you find yourself needing to send a card, it will be MUCH easier for you to go to your stash and spend your time writing your comforting words than spend your time coming up with the appropriate card. Also, you'll never be stuck saying, I'll send a card as soon as I make one - and then discover that you just can't find the time right now to do that.

Today's project is a simple, but elegant Sympathy Card that I made using just a few products. After cutting and folding my card base (4.25" x 5.5", fold at the top), I drew a border around the inside using a brown fine tip marker. I stamped the sentiment from MCT's new stamp set, Floral Sentiments (available for purchase tomorrow), and adhered that layer to my card base. I used my paper piercing tool to add a dotted line above the sentiment.

The FABULOUS 3D flower is one of two dies on the "double die set", Rolled Flower Dies (also available tomorrow). After gluing my flower together and onto my card, I added a rhinestone to the center to give a bit of sparkle.

Tip: Do you have trouble holding onto rhinestones when you're trying to place them? I've been using 'reverse tweezers' from Making Memories for years for my rhinestones and I still can't see to keep a hold of them. As I was perusing Sally Beauty Supply the other day, I found this great rhinestone tool called PICKerr UPerr that works great!
