Mini Slimline Sympathy Card Duo

Hello my crafty friends!  I like to keep a few sympathy cards on hand so I made these two Mini Slimline ones for my stash. They were inspired by the pretty patterned paper, which is many years old from my stash. I thought the soft print and colours lended themselves to this type of card. 

These cards are a mix of old product and new - something you can expect a fair bit from me in 2022. I am learning a lot of crafters are wanting to see a mix of older items, as most of us have them but there is always a push to buy the newest, latest and greatest. Now I like new goodies as well, but I hope I can show you how combining the two will help you breathe new life into those older supplies sitting on the shelf. The new item on these cards is the pretty reverse scalloped frame from Kat Scrappiness ... everything else came from my stash.

One card has the Summer Posy, a die by Creative Expressions that I picked up last summer on a Flash Sale at R&R Scrapbooking. The other has a leaf spray from MFT and if it is still available I will link it below for you. The layered butterflies were created with a retired Stampin' Up punch, and the sentiment strips are by Taylored Expressions and linked below. 

Inside, I used a retired stamp set by Hero Arts and Catherine Pooler's Blackjack ink.

This card needed a little somethin' somethin' at the top right, so I added a single mirrored heart sequin. I am LOVING those things! ❤️
