I think clean and simple is always a good choice for a sympathy card.  But there are certain times when I feel clean and simple is the only choice.  At least for me, it was the only choice today.  All deaths bring sadness and mourning, but the added elements of youth and tragedy render me speechless.  What can be said to truly console the family  — not much at all.  So  I made this card in a crisp white, with a simple design and the reassuring words of Psalm 23.

This card is 5.5″ square and will be presented in a 5.5″ Square Clear Box.

Spellbinders Die:  Cattails Die D-Lite, Circle Nesties, Rectangle Nesties

JustRite Stamp:  Sympathy Vintage Labels, a cling stamp set

Paper:  Copper Silk (from which the cattails were die cut)

Miscellaneous:  VersaMark Ink, Copper Embossing Powder, Heat Gun, 3D Foam Squares

This is the inside.

Our Daily Bread Design Stamp:  Psalm 23

Once again, we thank you so much for stopping in!  We LOVE when you visit!

Hope your week is off to a GREAT start!

See you real soon!

I rely on this simple gift card holder so often.  They are so quick and easy to make and turn a simple little gift card into something a bit more special.  The basic holder is always the same, but it can be decorated up or down, for him, for her, for baby, etc., so easily.  That’s why I love it!  I made this one for my Dad.  And I hope you all had a wonderful Father’s Day today!

The fishtail banners (hand cut from strips of scraps) are attached to a rectangle that is then attached to the card front.

Paper:  Anthem by Bo Bunny

Decorative Sticker:  Anthem by Bo Bunny

Stamps:  Dad by Our Daily Bread Designs (inside and out)

Dies:  Spellbinders Stars Five, Die D-Lites Petite Labels One

Ink:  VersaFine Onyx Black, Tim Holtz Distress Ink - Antique Linen, applied with a Sponge Dauber

Miscellaneous:  Blue Kaiserscraft Rhinestones, 3D Foam Squares, Scor Tape

The dimensional fishtail banner on top with the rhinestones is a Dimensional Sticker from the Anthem Collection.

This is the pocket in which I can tuck a gift certificate, as well as the small sentiment panel I made, giving me a place to sign.

This sentiment as well is from Dad by Our Daily Bread Design.  (LOVE this set for the men in my life)

__________

Cut and Score Instuctions for Gift Card Holder:

Use 1/2 sheet paper – 5.5 x 8.5″.

Score at 2″ and 6″.  Fold.

The 2″ flap is the pocket (secure up with Scor Tape).

The flap a bit larger is the card front/ top.  Create a decorative panel to adhere to top flap.

Insert gift card, cash, check or little note into pocket.

Done!

Dimensions and score lines can be adjusted to make a holder of any size!  This is the size I most commonly use.  The idea/measurements were picked up years ago from Splitcoaststampers.

Today I have a trio of clean and simple, black and white, quick and easy, yet elegant, cards.  They were made with Damask Doilies so there was very little work involved, which is a GOOD thing!!!

The card on top is a wedding card and is 5.5″ square.

This is the 5.5″ square wedding card.

Stamp:  Large Fancy Sentiments - a clear stamp set by JustRite

And here’s the 2nd little 4×4 card.

LOVE the dainty swirly bracket – included in Large Fancy Sentiments.

This is our 2nd post for today — that doesn’t happen too often — but we’ve fallen behind on getting things out here, so hope you don’t mind.  I’ll be brief!

Both cards use designer paper from Anthem by Bo Bunny and beautiful, layered die cuts from one of the coordinating die cut packages.

Paper:  Bo Bunny Anthem

Dimensional Stickers:  Bo Bunny Anthem

Also available, and equally as pretty are the Layered Chipboard:  Bo Bunny Anthem

SU Very Vanilla was used as the card bases.  These are standard 4.25 x 5.5″ cards.
