Forever in Our Memory – Handmade Sympathy Card

There is something especially meaningful about creating a handmade card to express sympathy and remembrance. For this “Forever in Our Memory” card, I chose a soft and peaceful colour palette of mint green, white and delicate touches of gold to create an elegant design filled with gentle details.

Dies were provided by Amazing Paper Grace for today’s creation.

Design Inspiration

The soft mint green and white combination gives this card a calm, serene feel, while the touches of gold add just a hint of warmth and elegance. I wanted the overall design to feel beautiful without being overly elaborate, allowing the sentiment and delicate floral details to remain the focus.

Creating the Background

The card features a pretty lacy background die, creating a delicate layer of texture and pattern behind the main focal point. The intricate design adds interest while keeping the soft, graceful appearance of the card.

A decorative frame was layered over the background to create a defined focal area. Sitting beautifully on top is the die-cut “Forever in Our Memory” sentiment, making the message the heart of the design.

Handmade Florals and Details

The floral arrangement was created using handmade forget-me-knot flowers paired with delicate green foliage. Their tiny, intricate appearance works beautifully with the sentiment and reinforces the theme of remembrance.

Two graceful butterflies complete the design, adding a lovely symbolic touch. Butterflies can represent transformation, hope and the enduring nature of memories, making them particularly fitting for a sympathy card.

Small touches of gold throughout the design provide a subtle shimmer and beautifully complement the mint green and white palette and lustrous pearls are scattered throughout the design adding the perfect finishing touches to the lace for a timeless finish.

Final Thoughts

I love how this card combines delicate die-cut details, handmade flowers and a meaningful sentiment to create something both elegant and heartfelt. The soft colours and gentle embellishments make “Forever in Our Memory” a peaceful reminder that although someone may no longer be with us, their memory remains forever in our hearts.

My Thoughts Are With You Today – An Elegant Handmade Sympathy Card

On By patriciamanhireIn Patricia's CreationsLeave a comment

Kia ora Koutou Crafty Friends

There are times when a handmade card can say what words sometimes cannot. This elegant sympathy card was created in soft tones of white, blush and warm brown, with delicate details chosen to create a gentle and comforting design.

Dies were provided by Amazing Paper Grace for today’s creation.

Design Inspiration

For this card, I wanted to create something soft, understated and elegant. The combination of white and blush creates a beautifully delicate palette, while the touches of brown add warmth and depth without taking away from the serene feel of the design.

The focal point is the sentiment “My Thoughts Are With You Today”, stamped and beautifully framed within a gold-trimmed label. The sentiment takes centre stage while still allowing the surrounding details to complement rather than overwhelm it.

Delicate Details

Layers of intricate lacy die cuts add a pretty, feminine touch to the background. I love how the openwork of the dies creates texture and interest while keeping the overall design light and airy.

Soft pearls are scattered throughout the design, adding just the right amount of elegance and a subtle touch of shine. A beautiful silk ribbon bow completes the card, bringing together the soft, romantic feel of the blush and ivory tones.

The touches of gold around the sentiment frame provide a gentle accent that catches the light and gives the card a polished finish.

A Thoughtful Sympathy Card

Sympathy cards are never easy to make, but I find that creating something gentle and heartfelt can be a meaningful way to express care and support.

The words “My Thoughts Are With You Today” are simple, sincere and comforting. Paired with the soft colour palette and delicate embellishments, they create a card that is intended to convey warmth, kindness and heartfelt thoughts during a difficult time.

Final Thoughts

I love how the combination of soft white, blush and brown, delicate lace, pearls, silk ribbon and subtle gold accents has come together on this card. It is elegant without being overly elaborate and, most importantly, carries a heartfelt message.

Sometimes the simplest sentiment, thoughtfully presented, can mean the most.

My Thoughts Are With You Today – A Soft and Elegant Sympathy Card

On By patriciamanhireIn Patricia's CreationsLeave a comment

Kia ora Koutou

There are times when a handmade card can offer comfort when words are difficult to find. Today’s card features a soft white-on-white design with delicate details and gentle touches, creating a heartfelt sympathy card that conveys care, compassion, and support.

Dies were provided by Amazing Paper Grace for today’s creation.

Design Inspiration

For this card, I wanted to create something peaceful and elegant. The white-on-white colour palette provides a sense of calm and serenity, while the dimensional handmade flowers add warmth and softness. A decorative die-cut background creates beautiful texture and interest without overwhelming the design.

Behind the floral arrangement, I added subtle ink blending to create a gentle glow that draws the eye toward the focal point. Soft shading adds depth while maintaining the clean and tranquil feel of the card.

The sentiment, “My Thoughts Are With You Today”, serves as a simple but meaningful expression of sympathy and support.

Design Details

  • White on white colour background creates a sense of serenity
  • A soft green ink blended background allows the handcrafted flowers to be grounded and draws the eye to the sentiment
  • A decorative lacy background die provides subtle texture, interest and dimension
  • A simple and plain frame with decorative corners creates the frame for the sentiment and for the handcrafted flowers. Use foam tape for extra dimension
  • A meaningful sentiment on the deocrative label in the centre of the frame becomes the focus of the heartfelt sympathy
  • Handcrafted flowers add the extra special touch to show you care
  • Pearl accents highlight the decorative dies and soft pink iridescent gems connect the pink flowers with the sentiment

Finishing Touches

No elegant sympathy card feels complete without a few special embellishments. Pearl accents were added throughout the design to enhance the soft, classic feel, while a scattering of sparkle gems catches the light and adds a touch of gentle shimmer.

The combination of texture, dimension, and subtle sparkle creates a card that feels thoughtful and comforting while remaining refined and understated.

Final Thoughts

Sympathy cards are among the most meaningful cards we create. A soft colour palette, delicate florals, and elegant details can help express care and support during difficult times. This white-on-white design combines classic elegance with heartfelt sentiment, creating a card that offers comfort and lets someone know they are being thought of.

This design is a lovely example of how texture, dimension, and subtle embellishments can create a meaningful sympathy card while keeping the overall look soft, peaceful, and elegant. 💕

Thank you for stopping by today. I hope this project inspires you to create cards that share kindness, encouragement, and compassion through the beauty of handmade papercrafting.

Amazing Paper Grace Sympathy Card

On By patriciamanhireIn Patricia's CreationsLeave a comment

Kia ora Koutou

I would like to take the time to wish everyone a healthy, safe and prosperous Happy New Year with lots of time for crafting therapy.

Today it is New Years Day in New Zealand and I have a gorgeous lilac and silver card to share with you today. I really love how Becca Feeken and former Amazing Paper Grace Creative Team Member Rajni Chawla mix and match layering dies and also snip dies to create a totally different look. Here I have used three different die sets – Fluted Classics Rectangles Dies, Postage Edge Rectangles Dies and Scalloped Symphony Notecard Dies to create a very elegant base for the snipped Marvelous Medallion dies. The flowers are from the Marvelous Medallion dies and off course I had to add a sweet little butterfly. The sentiment is from Beccy’s Place Wren stamp set. (It wasn’t until after I completed the card that I realised that perhaps the sympathy sentiment was not a great choice for the start of the year but it suited the card and it is always handy to have spare sympathy cards on hand – what do you think?).

Dies were provided by Amazing Paper Grace for today’s creations.

My Project

For my project I have created a shaped card base using three large Postage Edge Rectangles Dies – two in white cardstock and one in silver. I adhered the two white rectangles together with the right sides out and then scored at 3/4″ along one of the short sides to create a hinge. This hinge was glued to the back of the silver rectangle. I then layered an ivory plain layer with the large rectangle from the Fluted Classics Rectangles Dies in lilac cardstock. I die cut the large scalloped edge slimline die from the Scalloped Symphony Notecard Dies out of silver cardstock. I cut this in half and trimmed about another inch of both sides before gluing the sides together to fit inside the lilac patterned rectangle. To finish the layers I added another plain layer of ivory card and the Fluted Classics Rectangles Dies in Lilac cardstock.

I die cut two medallions out – with the shadow from silver cardstock and the top decorative layer from Lilac cardstock. I then trimmed the outer edges and added them to the top and bottom of the inner rectangle as shown.

I die cut a small postage rectangle from the Postage Edge Rectangles Dies out of silver cardstock. I layered a plain layer of lilac cardstock on top. I stamped the sentiment from the Blue Wren stamp set from Beccy’s Place in Majestic Violet ink on ivory cardstock. I die cut this out using the smallest plain die from the Postage Edge Rectangles Dies and adhered it to the top of the lilac cardstock. This was then added to the front of the card to hide the edges of the medallion dies using foam tape.

I die cut the flowers using the soft flower shaping paper and coloured them in the centres with Grassy Knoll ink and the edges using Wisteria ink. I soaked these in water and then shaped them using a small ball stylus. For the larger flowers I have done two layers and for the smaller ones I have done a single layer. A small green wire pollen was inserted into the centres of the flowers.

I die cut the leaves from green cardstock and these were added to the top left of the sentiment.  I trimmed the wires from the flowers and then added the flowers over the leaves.

The butterfly from the Butterfly Bliss Garden Shutters Dies were made by using vellum coloured with Kitsch Flamingo and Shaded Lilac inks and then silver accents and a black body were added to complete the butterfly. The butterfly was then added to the bottom right of the sentiment.

To finish I added some silver pearls around the sentiment and to highlight the Marvelous Medallion dies.

I will have a full video tutorial on my YouTube channel shortly on how I have made this card and the flowers.

Amazing Paper Grace Forever in Our Memory

Kia ora Koutou

Today I have an elegant sympathy card featuring the beautiful Amazing Paper Grace Forever in our Memory from the Amazing Paper Grace Beautiful Sentiment Vignette collection by Becca Feeken. I have kept to a blue and white palette with a touch of silver accents. Lilies are often associated with sorrow and grief and I have used the Amazing Paper Grace Layered Lilies Dies to adorn this card. I love how quick and easy a card can come together when you use these sentiment vignette dies.

Dies were provided by Amazing Paper Grace for today’s creations.

My Project

To make my card I have created a top folding base card of 5 1/2″ x 6″ out of white cardstock. I cut a piece of blue cardstock 5 1/4″ x 5 3/4″ and score two lines down each side 1/8″ apart 1/4″ inside each side and adhere to the front of the card.

Die cut the shadow die from the Amazing Paper Grace Forever in Our Memory dies out of blue cardstock. Die cut the decorative die from the same set in white cardstock and emboss it before adding to the blue shadow. Adhere this to the front of the card. Die cut the shadow inner panel out of blue cardstock and two decorative sentiment dies out of white cardstock. Stack the two sentiment dies together and then add to the blue shadow before adding to the centre of the decorative frame with foam tape.

Die cut the lilies from the Amazing Paper Grace Layered Lilies Dies out of white cardstock with the stamen out of yellow cardstock. Colour the inside with Lemon Whip and Sunshine ink and assemble as per instructions. I added some Key Lime ink to the bottoms of the flowers.

Die cut the leaves and stems from green cardstock. Trim the stems and add around the decorative sentiment. Add the lilies and leaves to the stems. Die cut the stems from green cardstock and flowers from yellow cardstock from the October 2021 Die of the Month Flourished Fleurit Dies and assemble. Add these around the lilies and leaves. Die cut the stems only out of silver cardstock and add as accents around the flowers and leaves.

To finish add some silver pearls to the corners of the card and on the decorative die as shown.

Amazing Paper Grace Sympathy Card

On By patriciamanhireIn Patricia's CreationsLeave a comment

My card today has been inspired by a card that I saw on Pinterest and I immediately thought the beautiful Amazing Paper Grace Emmeline Treillage die would make a beautiful background to some gorgeous handmade flowers using the Amazing Paper Grace Cinch and Go Blossoms Dies and leaves and a butterfly from the Amazing Paper Grace Summer Label Motif Dies. I have kept the colours very muted and limited to blue, green and white with a touch of lemon to keep with the sympathy theme of the card.

Dies were provided by Amazing Paper Grace for today’s creations.

My Project

I have created a 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ base card out of white cardstock. I cut a piece of pale blue cardstock 4 1/8″ x 4 3/8″ and adhered it to the inside back of the card. I then die cut the lacey front out using the beautiful ‘daisy chain’ die from the Amazing Paper Grace Emmeline Treillage die. I die cut another decorative die from a piece of 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ white cardtock and adhered it to the front of the card for more strength.

I die cut three decorative ovals from the Amazing Paper Grace Double Halo Oval dies and stacked the decorative frame together and adhered it to the front of the card. I then stamped the sentiment in black ink on one of the inner ovals and adhered it to the inside of the frame.

I die cut the leaves out of two different colour green cardstocks using the dies from the Amazing Paper Grace Summer Label Motif Dies and adhered them to the left of the oval. I then made the dimensional flowers from flower shaping paper using the flower dies from the Amazing Paper Grace Cinch and Go Blossoms Dies. The blue flowers where coloured with French Ultramarine ink and the smaller flowers were coloured with Citrus Burst inks. Once these were assembled I adhered them over the leaves.

I made the butterfly out of white, blue and black cardstocks using the butterfly dies from the Amazing Paper Grace Summer Label Motif Dies and adhered it to the right of the oval as shown.

To finish the card I have added some white pearls to the centres of the flowers and the daisies on the decorative background die.

Clean and Simple Sympathy Card

On By patriciamanhireIn CardmakingLeave a comment

Kia Ora Koutou

Welcome back and today I want to share a clean and simple sympathy card made using some new dies and embossing folder that I have just received.

Sometimes the dies will dictate what genre of card you end up with and this gorgeous butterfly corner die from Precious Marieke made a sympathy card inevitable.  I have cut two of the corners and trimmed the butterfly to add over the other butterfly on the corner and I put the trimmings on the opposite corner.  The Lawn Fawn frame dies are gorgeous and they framed the lovely Stampin’ Up embossing folder perfectly.  I really love the sentiment from Heartfelt Creations and it was perfect to add to the simplicity of the card.  The card looked unfinished until I added a little bit of sparkle with some sparkles from CTMH.
