TLC781 Special Leaves

Photo Details

Poster: Jennifrann

Folding up these little leaves wasnât so bad. This is the kind of thing that scares me. But I persevered and even die cut some flowers and leaves to go with them. And Iâm kind of happy with this arrangement of flowers and leaves. I figured it would make a nice sympathy card for my stash. Only thing is, I donât know how I would ever mail it. This thing is THICK now with those origami leaves and flowers standing on double foam squares to overlap the leaves. Plus some dew drop centers. Since I donât need the card right now, I have some time to figure it out. Pretty though, isnât it?

Yes, thick is a problem. Maybe this will be hand delivered? Beautiful card. Love the white and bright green contrast!

It is pretty indeed, Jen, and a beautiful breath of Spring and sunshine on a cold winter day. When I have thick cards I usually hand deliver them, or else use them when I am sending a parcel, or giving a gift bag. I made my creases at 1/8", hoping to keep the bulk down.

yes, it is lovely! The best part is the depth you created with your layers and the origami leaves. A bubble wrap layer and an extra ounce...you've got this!

It is very pretty and yes, mailing is a problem. Maybe it's one of those occasions where you attend the funeral and put it in a nice presentation box. Love the green and white, so crisp.

this is a real pretty sympathy card, I agree a bit difficult to mail but you could make a fitting envelope I think

I love how it has a fresh ethereal look to it, almost like water lilies with that nice backdrop.
