In Sympathy cards

Hi everyone,

It is always difficult to strike the right note when you create an In Sympathy card.  I've had to create a couple recently and I thought I would share what I made to offer a little inspiration.

Obviously every card of this sort should be created with the person who is receiving it in mind and that's what I tried to do with this card.


The gentleman it was for is pretty stylish so I wanted to put that across even in such a sad card.  I used a backing paper from my Wishes & Kisses CD ROM and the digital image and sentiment also came from that CD.

I wanted to keep it simple so I used a black base card and just added some black ribbon.  When I had finished it it just needed something else.  So, I added the white heart pin through the ribbon to show him we love him.



When I use pins on cards I always add an extra foam pad under a topper or somewhere else out of sight to push the end of the pin into.  I find this means that the card stays just as it should when in the envelope and the pin hopefully wont do the receiver any damage when they open it.

Until next time,
Anice x

Hello everyone,

I can't believe that it is the 1st May already!  I don't know why but I am always surprised by the passing of time :)

So, beginning of a new month means that there is a new Funky Hand original CD ROM being highlighted
by my fabulous Design Team ladies over on their blog Get Funky and Craft.  This months special craft CD is V Funky.  I wanted to make sure that everyone can get a good look at what is included on the CD so I made this video..



V. Funky is available over on the Funky Hand website for just £1.00.  If you don't already have it.. why not?  Get over there now and grab a copy. Also remember to visit the Get Funky & Craft Blog everyday to see what amazing things the Design Team have created using digital backing papers from it.  Or why not visit the Funky Hand Facebook Page. I hope to get a chance to have a chat with you over there soon.
