Good Morning Magnolia Z-Fold Sympathy Card

Good Morning Magnolia Z-Fold Sympathy Card

None of us want to have to make a sympathy card or send one, but this Good Morning Magnolia Z-Fold Sympathy Card seemed like the right one for this friend. I’m sure I got the idea from someone else. Maybe I changed some things about it a little but I don’t remember! It is a z-fold card which means the front of the card is folded back, essentially in half. Then you can either leave that front portion folded but not adhered, or you can adhere that folded back piece so the front underneath it.

The card base is Petal Pink with Whisper White layers. I stamped the very large magnolia from the Good Morning Magnolia Stamp Set with Memento Ink and colored in with Stampin’ Blends Markers. I used the Petal Pink markers, plus two greens on the leaves with just a touch of yellow. Then this large magnolia can be die-cut with the Magnolia Memory Dies. The other two smaller flowers are just stamped on the card and colored in. I had to play with the die-cut magnolia to get it in just the right place to fit on the card and line up with the other two flowers.

As you can see below, the edge of the flower hangs over the edge of the card.

Good Morning Magnolia Z-Fold Sympathy Card Inside

You can still stamp something on the inside or just write a note. Just be cautious to have it hidden under the closed front of the card. You might want to make light pencil marks where the card front comes to when closed.

I love z-fold cards! I think they add some extra interest without being very difficult to make!
