Elegant sympathy card idea with a fancy fold. This handmade sympathy card has stunning touches of silver on the Peaceful Place patterned paper from Stampin' Up!

Sympathy Card Design

Nobody likes making sympathy cards, but it's always nice to have a few on hand when you need them. The Peaceful Place patterned paper provides the perfect serene backdrop for an elegant sympathy card. The sentiment is from the Peaceful Moments stamp set. Change out the sentiment and this would also be a beautiful - and easy - Christmas card idea.

Floral Thank You Card Idea

I know this card looks a little more spring than fall, but y'all, I cannot get enough of the Pattern Party patterned paper. It's just too gorgeous! If you want to get your hands on this gorgeous paper, you have to host a workshop or class or place your own $150 order. But it is so worth it!

I also used the Delicate Dahlias stamp set that is available for FREE during Sale-a-Bration! I can't get enough of these beautiful flowers either. With a photorealistic inside and a separate outline stamp for the outside, it is so versatile. If you haven't already, check out my video on the different looks you can get with these stamps.

My last fun fold card sample is a Christmas card because while it's still warm and sunny, it's never too early to start working on making your holiday cards!
