Story of Elegance
Hello!
Happy Tuesday!
I’m happy to be back sharing another card after a short hiatus. I hope that life finds you and those who matter most to you doing well.
Today, I am featuring products from our SaleABration catalog, and our new July-December mini- catalog – The Wonderful World stamp set and the Very Best Occasions stamp set respectively.
The Wonderful World stamp set is part of a bundle that also includes Wonderful World Designer Series Paper, and what’s so nice about this bundle is that it is one of the choices of FREE WITH PURCHASE products in the SaleABration catalog!
It seems that lately I have an increasing need for sympathy cards. I have put a dent in my stash, so I’m working on replenishing. I find it’s better to have them on hand when I need them than to have to craft them out of need. I’m all for doing what’s easiest when I can.
Here is the sympathy card I created.

Very Best Occasions – Sympathy
The Very Best Occasions is one of my favorite sentiment sets. It covers so many occasions – Birthday, Christmas, Thinking of You, Thank you, Congratulations, Friendship, Sympathy – they are all included and a few of the stamps in the set are mixed font sentiments which I adore.
I also used the new Cascading Ruffles 3D embossing folder from our Annual Catalog as the backdrop; and I added a coordinating stamp on the inside panel of the card too.

A Closer Look
Elegance Made Easy
Following are the quick steps to recreate this card.
First, make your cuts:
- Orchid Oasis card stock – 4 1/4″ x 5 3/8″ and 3 5/8″ x 1 7/8″
- Basic White Card stock – 4″ x 5 1’4″ emboss using the Cascading Ruffles 3D embossing folder and 3 1/2″ x 1 3/4″
- Die cuts:
- None
Layer an A2 card base made of Thick Basic White card stock with the Orchid Oasis embossed panel.
Use the daffodil stamp from the Wonderful World stamp set to stamp the flower onto the smaller Basic White piece using Orchid Oasis ink. Stamp the sentiment from Very Best Occasions stamp set with Orchid Oasis ink as well.
Layer the stamped piece onto the small Orchard Oasis piece and add to the card front.
Complete by stamping the inside panel and the envelope front and flap with a daffodil; then and Pearl Basic Jewels.
