I used the Stampin’ Up! Inspired Thoughts stamp set and a little of the Perfectly Penciled DSP from the upcoming 2022-2023 Annual Catalog to create two sympathy cards to share with you today.

My card design was inspired by Freshly Made Sketch 532.

The colors for my card were inspired by the Inspire.Create.Challenge #115.

And my card also works for the Tic Tac Toe Challenge #TTTC158.  I went right down the center.

I started by adhering a panel of Perfectly Penciled DSP (available May 3) to the front of a Basic Black card base with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  Then I cut another panel of Perfectly Penciled DSP with one of the Stitched Rectangle Dies.

I adhered the die cut panel to a panel of Basic Black card stock with Stampin’ Seal and then adhered the layered panel to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Inspired Thoughts stamp set in VersaMark ink on a panel of Basic Black card stock, sprinkled it with white embossing powder from the Basics Embossing Powders and then heat embossed it.  I cut the sentiment out with one of the Stitched Rectangle Dies and adhered it to the card front with Stampin’ Seal.

I added two of the Brushed Metallic Adhesive Backed Dots to the sentiment panel to finish the card front.

The Perfectly Penciled DSP is simply stunning!

I stamped the sentiment from the Inspired Thoughts stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento ink and then added a strip of Perfectly Penciled DSP to finish the inside of the card.

I’ve created a printable PDF with written instructions and a list of products used to create this project.  You can download, print and/or save it by clicking this image:
