Close As A Memory Sympathy Card


I'm back! I finished the sympathy card about an hour ago so thought I would quick post it before I head to bed. I hope you like it! Elaine

  1. Hi, I love your work and I love following your blog. Would you please share how you did the top note layers? I tried hand cutting the smaller one, but it was awful. I would love your advise.

  3. Thank you so much...you are too sweet! I cut the inside by hand. When I first started cutting them I would cut on the perforated line and it didn't look too hot. What I found to work the best is to use the perforation as a guide but don't cut on it. Cut about an 1/8" inside the perforation. Another trick when cutting is to always try to remember to turn the paper, not the scissors. Your cuts will look much cleaner. Sometimes I forget to do that but when I remember I am much happier with the things I cut out. I am glad that you are enjoying the blog. Keep in touch!
