STAMPIN’ PRETTY TIPS:
- If there’s a paper crafting tool I can’t resist, it’s a Stampin’ Up! punch. The Elegant Butterfly and Bitty Butterfly “take off” when layered together. A Glue Dot keeps them in place. Quick and easy!
- A simple stick-on pearl (Stampin’ Up! Pearl Basic Jewels) adds a touch of dimension and sophistication.
- “So Sorry” stamp set (available in wood-mount and clear-mount) says just the “right thing” in the most difficult of situations. See all “So Sorry” stamp images below.

Great minds…We both did butterflies and we both did sympathy cards! Love the simplicity of this card.
Bright card. Love that stamp set, too!
A really beautiful card
Thank you Mary! I need to make a sympathy card ASAP. A friend’s father died and I think they really would love to have the butterflies on the card. The colors are perfect too. I don’t have that stamp but I am sure I have something that will work. The colors are just perfect and I just received my punches last week. I will be using your pretty card as an example. Thank you!!! What perfect timing.
Simply beautiful, Mary! Love your color choices as well 🙂
