Very Pretty and pretty quick to make! Sympathy cards are always the hardest for me to make and it would be nice to have a stash of them on hand when i need them. Thanks for sharing.

I already ordered this vellum after watching Tiffany Solorio using her link. But I will be getting the 6 inch stick tape with yours! I have ordered the foam strips and sticky dots through you at different times. Hey, I'm stuck on you! Lol! Love these simple and elegant cards. You're awesome!

I haven't tried it yet, but another show said you could put a piece of cardstock under the vellum and it won't crack. Then you have another card front for a differet card already made. Loved, loved, loved, the calm colors you used for the cardstock. Very pretty!!! Thanks for sharing!!!

9 ай бұрын

Oooh I haven't. That sounds awesome though

The cards are absolutely exquisite. I wonder what water does, since unlike cardstock, vellum isn’t porous. Unless it is? 🧐 And wonder if regular embossing folders instead of 3D would mean less cracking, though if you hadn’t pointed it out, I wouldn’t have noticed.

@amyswares

9 ай бұрын

It did have a small difference with the water 🤷‍♀️. I would imagine reg ones would put less pressure. However I have embossed with regular embossing folders and thinner vellum and still had cracking. So I think it depends mainly on the thickness of the vellum and the actual design. Ones with longer lines or more geometric long features in the design tended to crack for me. Thanks for watching friend.
