Today I've got a sympathy card for you. These are the cards we are never excited about making, and yet sympathy cards are probably the most important cards we send. They convey our love and care to grieving people, and that matters.
This is a gatefold card which opens in the center. It is held closed with a band that wraps around the card. To open the card, just slide off the band.
We made this card at a recent class that I teach for an organization I'm a member of. Since I'm not allowed to sell product at these classes, I often use discontinued products. Everything I used for this card is current, except for the stamp set. The stamp set is called So Sorry. I'm sorry I don't know the year of the catalog it was in. I'm pretty sure there are some of these sets for sale on ebay, should you want to purchase one.
The DSP panels on the front of the card are from the Whole Lot of Lovely Designer Series Paper at the top of page 188 of the annual catalog. The card stock base of the card is Peekaboo Peach The ink colors are Peekaboo Peach, Pear Pizzazz, and Basic Black. I used the Layering Circles Framelit Dies (top of page 214) to cut the Whisper White circle and the scalloped circle mat for the sentiment. Be sure to use a strong adhesive such as Tear & Tape (p. 202) to hold the band and sentiment together. You wouldn't want the band to fall apart as it is being slid off the card.
Hope all is well with all of you! Things are crazy here, as our daughter broke her leg and is in the hospital. One surgery has been completed, but in about a week she'll have a second surgery to put her leg and knee back together again with metal plates and screws.
Meanwhile, Oma and Opa are caring for the girls (ages 4 and 6) so their dad can go to work. It's quite a challenge, to say the least.
May the week ahead be a good one for you!
Hugs to all,
Susan

So very sorry your daughter broke her leg, plus it sounds like it was a complex break that will likely take a longer rehabilitation. It's really a gift that you are able to be there to care the grandkids, albeit a lot more work for you and John. Take care!
