I punch the same label from scrap Balmy Blue card, cut it in half from side to side and adhered it to the stamped label so that a little of the blue showed top and bottom. It was added over the ribbon on Dimensionals.

Graceful Glass dsp by Stampin' Up! used for a sympathy card

Graceful Glass Sympathy card

Posted on by

Today I have made a sweet sympathy card using the Graceful Glass Vellum Designer Series Paper. This dsp is absolutely gorgeous and needs very little doing to it to make a stunning card.

Making the Graceful Glass card

I started by choosing the panel of dsp I wanted, I loved this square, scrolly one. I trimmed the panel down, turned it over to the reverse side and coloured it in using the Tranquil Tide, Lemon Lime Twist, Berry Burst and Fresh Fig Stampin Write Markers.  It looks so pretty…..

I cut a panel of Whisper White cardstock exactly the same size as the vellum dsp panel, 3” by 3”. I squeezed some Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive onto my Silicon Mat and using a wedge of sponge I applied the glue, thinly all over the Whisper White panel and added the coloured vellum panel.

I cut a border strip from another of the dsp sheets. I added the coloured vellum panel to the front of a Thick Whisper White card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals and tucked the border piece in behind using a little Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive where it would be hidden.

The sentiment from the Painted Glass stamp set was stamped in below the coloured panel in Tranquil Tide ink. I love the font in this stamp set.

This is such a striking card. I hope you like it.
