Today I have made a sympathy card using scraps of By the Bay designer series paper left over from making my February class table gifts.
Colours used in this project are:
To recreate the striped sympathy card, you will need:
Mint Macaron card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Basic White card – 5⅞” by 3”
Night of Navy card – 6” by 1½”
Night of Navy – 6” by ½”
Basic White card – 2½” by 2½”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – For the inside
By the Bay dsp strips a minimum of 4½” long and of varying widths
I applied strips of Tear & Tape Adhesive to all 4 sides of the 5⅞” by 3” piece of Basic White card. The backing from the adhesive tape was removed and I began laying the strips of By the Bay dsp from top to bottom, making sure to over lap the top and the bottom. I continued with this until the panel was completely covered.

The excess dsp was then trimmed off using sharp scissors. A length of White Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon was wrapped around the panel and secured on the back with Sellotape.

The ½” strip of Night of Navy card was glued to the top of the striped panel. I ran the 1½” strip of Night of Navy through my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine with one of the Basic Borders Dies and adhered the resulting decorative edge to the bottom of the striped panel. The whole piece was then added to the Mint Macaron card front with liquid glue.

I stamped the sentiment, from the Something Fancy stamp set in Night of Navy onto the square of Basic White card and die cut it out using the Stylish Shapes Dies. It was added to the card front on Dimensionals. I love the pretty font of this stamp set.

A trio of Milky Dots and a ribbon bow completed the card.
