Hi Friends!
Waffle Flower is celebrating their 5th Birthday this month! I don’t have birthday cards to share today but I’ve created two cards using the Rainbow Bridge die. I created these samples for Creativation, but am sharing today as a part of this blog hop!
I love that you can personalize these cards using either the cat or dog die. I don’t currently have any pets, but having had to make the difficult decision to re-home a beloved pet last year, I know what losing a pet is like and I’m so grateful for the experience. It’s really a pain like no other and I’m glad I can at least empathize with those who lose pets. It’s soo terribly sad!
I die cut the images using white cardstock and used Copic markers to color the rainbow bands before in-laying them back into their slots and taping them in place. I masked off the die over the cardbase and ink-blended the sky portion inside the frame. I also splattered some water to give it some extra texture and interest.
After ink-blending, I used foam adhesive to adhere the panels to the ink-blended card base and embossed the sentiment in white over black cardstock.
Pet-sympathy cards are so sad to make, but I am glad I have these in my stash should the occasion arise. I hope you enjoyed these quick and easy cards!

My goodness, this has been a busy week for you! Thanks for taking all this time to help celebrate so many great companies’ 5th anniversary. These are such sweet cards, and as with most sympathy cards, they’re the kind we never want to have to send, but are needed the most. I appreciate sets that make these kinds of cards easier.

Caly your sympathy cards are spot on, we lost out beloved black Labrador, Mac, & out gorgeous black & white cat, Garth, 7 yrs & 1 month ago respectively & you’re right the pain is horrendous. What a beautiful way to remind someone you feel their loss x

What beautiful cards. These would be helpful to make ahead of time to have on hand. I remember receiving a card when our dog passed and it was very much appreciated.
