Nine Lives Sympathy Card

Pet sympathy cards are some of the most difficult cards for me to make. Our pets are so precious to us that it is almost unfathomable to think about a time when they are no longer with us.

Today's card is a mixture of many different cards that I have seen on the internet plus I added the stitching to the heart die cut and the paw prints on the right side of the stitched heart die cut. My inspiration comes from cards made by Carol Anderson, Barb Inks, and Kimber Kreations.

The inside I designed to be simple, leaving room for a heartfelt message.

Craft with Beth: Be Mine Stitched Framelits Stampin' Up! Which framelits to use when die cutting the large stitched heart framelit graphic

I used the Be Me Stitched Framelits to create the stitched heart die cut. I first die cut the stitched heart framelit in the center of a piece of Cherry Cobbler cardstock. This stitched heart framelit cuts a negative image into the cardstock, but it does not cut out the actual heart shape. So, I used the next sized larger heart framelit to cut it out. This is the largest scalloped heart framelit. I centered the largest scalloped heart framelit on top of the stitched heart and ran it through the Big Shot Machine. The stitched heart is now separated from the cardstock. There is a scalloped heart outline die cut that you can save for another project.
