Five Sympathy Cards

As I mentioned a few weeks ago, the store where I sell my cards

in my town has requested some sympathy cards.

I also mentioned that, while purging my craft area a couple of months ago,

I came across lots of embellishments that I loved

the look of in the store when I bought them

but then didn't seem to use on any of my cards/layouts.

But as I was getting rid of things, I couldn't seem to get rid of them

(some of them were just too pretty!) 

So, I decided to pull them out to make some sympathy cards.

On each card, I used some Bazzill Basics Classic Smooth White cardstock,

a strip of American Crafts' DIY patterned paper and

my favourite sympathy sentiment from Reverse Confetti's Lots to Say.

Here they are:

This diecut is Crate Paper.

I matted this card on a piece of Bazzill Rain Forest cardstock

and added a couple of buttons and twine to finish it off.

The diecut is Crate Paper, the cardstock is Bazzill Basics Rain Forest

and I added some buttons and twine.

This card is matted on Bazzill Roselle cardstock and,

once again, the diecut is Crate Paper.

The flower diecut is from Heidi Swapp and I added a couple of PTI buttons with twine.

This card is matted on Bazzill Jade cardstock.

For this last card, I didn't add any patterned paper &

matted on Bazzill Basics Turquoise Mist cardstock.

The diecut is from Crate Paper and I added two PTI buttons with twine.

I'm also linking these up to this week's 

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Use Your Favourite Technique and/or Product. 

The gorgeous Lots to Say stamp set is my favourite sentiment set!

Thanks for looking!
