CAS Sympathy card

For these most difficult of cards to make I have chosen to make it CAS (Clean & Simple).

5 x 7 card base with embossed layer (Xcut A4 folder) and a plain panel with die cut prim poppy by Memory Box.  I have cut twice and layered for added dimension.  Lightly inked edges to base layer and sentiment (Kanban). Amazingly quick & easy so  I have made a couple of others, one is identical apart from the colouring, the next is a slight variation.  Possibly not as sympathy cards but a simple thinking of you occasion.

The card below uses the Honey-blossom sprig die, again by Memory Box.  I have used a busier embossed pattern, another Xcut A4 folder, loving the fact it is so large & no matching up needed.   Not my usual style & I had to fight with myself not to add more embellishments, just 2 tiny gems & the little bow.

Wedding - Plate style card

Though I would post another style of card I have enjoyed making lately - the circular 'Plate' style.
Here is one I made for a wedding.

I have used plain white card for the main circles which I have cut out using Spellbinders Grand Decorative Circles one.  For the coloured detailing I have used a pearlised card in a creamy/apricot colour.

The heat was Memory Box - Bingham hear - I just love this die it is so delicate.  I have also used Spellbinders Daisy flowers, Cheery Lynn & Crafts-Too flourishes, Memory Box - Pippi Butterfly outline. Punches were papermania mini flower punch, and Nellie Snellen tiny butterfly
I have crafted my own stand and embossed with a floral embossing folder.
Pearls, gems and pearl hearts add the finishing touches.
