Autumn Themed Sympathy – by Sharon Johnson
I have a large sympathy card to share today. It is a full sheet (8.5 x 11) folded in half. Sometimes I just like to make large cards. It gives you more room to add what you like. Also, I often make large cards (usually birthday) for people at church when everyone needs to sign the same card. It gives them room to sign and write a little note. Here’s my autumn themed sympathy card that is 8.5 x 5.5″. Take a look:
The upper panel is dry embossed with a Darice embossing folder while the scripture is stamped with Delicata ink in a beautifully rich copper color.
And here is the card inside – Psalm 23 – my favorite for a sympathy card.
It is also stamped in copper.
Here’s what I used:
Stamps: Blessings/Beatitudes 1 by Stamp Simply Clear Stamps (front)
Deepest Sympathy by Stamp Simply Clear Stamps (inside)
Embossing Folder: With Sympathy by Darice
Paper: Vanilla Cardstock
Luxury Pearlescent Metallic 80# Text – Copper
Ink: Delicata – Celestial Copper
Dies: Spellbinders A2 Matting Basics A
Ribbon: May Arts 5/8″ Reversible Satin – Rust/Gold
Bow made on the Original Bow Easy
Embellishments: Prima Leaves – from miscellaneous packages
Adhesives: Scor Tape, Liquid Glue, 3D Foam Squares

With Sympathy Embossing Folder
This folder has a straight line perimeter border sized to fit an A2 card.
For my card today, I just cut around the perimeter border and used it as a panel on my larger card.

Luxury Pearlescent Metallic 105# Cardstock
Available in Gold, Silver, Copper and Quartz White
A variety of purchase options are available as well.
The Copper is also available in a much lighter 80# text weight, which is what I used today.
Find all specialty cardstock in stock here.
Likewise, we have the metallic Delicata inks available in Gold, Silver, Copper and Shimmer White as well.
These inks are stunning. You get a beautiful metallic sheen and luster without the fuss of heat embossing; however, you can choose to heat emboss if you like. I did not emboss on today’s card – just stamped with this beautiful ink.

May Arts Reversible Satin – Rust/Gold
This beautiful rust/gold reversible ribbon is in stock in 2 widths – the 5/8″ used today and 1.5″.
The ribbons above are the same color, and the color on the right, the wider ribbon, is more true to life where the rust side is a beautiful coppery rust. The 5/8″ is the same deeper coppery rust, but it just doesn’t come through so well in these graphics.
Find all reversible satin in stock here. It’s fun ribbon – both sides show when you tie a bow!
