Very beautiful Sympathy cards! I love that they have a bit of colour yet are so elegant. The cards with vellum and the gold leaf are especially appealing.
I love your easy but beautiful cards. My first time watching you (I have been living in Costa Rica for over 8 years) and I have to tell you, you have such a beautiful, soothing voice and accent. I really enjoyed listening to you and so happy I found you. Thank you for sharing! 💕
Hi there Linda! Thank you so much for watching and leaving such a a kind comment and compliment. Welcome to my channel. I'm so glad you're here. ❤️❤️❤️
I just noticed that the aperture on the "in video" demo card (o.d.: 23:50) is lower than center, rather than centered or higher than centered. I like it ... yaaaa ... I like it!! Whether it was intentional or not, it just gives us another "look" to our results. Tfs!
I'm glad you picked up on that. It was truly to show how you can design the card as you like for different effects 😊 I changed the color on all the other cards and that one was the exact color so I just did a minor change. 💛💛💛
You just popped up in my UA-cam feed and boy am I glad you did! I love these 6 sympathy cards. I have struggled making these and I think what you said about the cards to be the same. I just couldn’t get them to turn out. I will be making several of these tomorrow I just hope I can do your cards justice and make them simply elegant. Thank you for a great tutorial and an easy to follow along.
Oh Robyn, what a kind and thoughtful comment. Thank you and I'm glad I popped up on your feed. Thank you for watching and I'm eager to see how your cards turn out. You can share them with me on Facebook or IG or even Pinterest. Happy Crafting! Www.pinterest.com/crystalbestls Www.instagram.com/houseofcardstt Www.facebook.com/houseofcardstt ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so very much. I appreciate your technique and explaining what you do, as well as your presentation of each card before you make it. You do beautiful work.
Beautiful cards & such lovely designs. I struggle with sympathy cards so I am definitely going to make these. I have the same leaves die that you used too. Thanks for making this great video & sharing with us.
You're welcome Debbie. So awesome that you have the same dies!!! Thanks for your feedback on the video. I'm really happy that I can help....I also struggle to make with sympathy cards so I understand. ❤️
I miss seeing your creativity! Are you still making cards? And I’m wondering what flower stamp did you use for the white embossed flower. I’m trying to make that card.
@@tbate77 aww thanks. I miss creating! I can't lie but I had to start working out of the house and it's a full time job so I just don't have the time to create anymore but I do plan to start back soon as soon I get settled and when School is back in session. It's been a lot to manage to be quite honest with you. The flower stamp was sizzix and I don't see it anymore. someone found it on one of those other websites but I haven't looked to confirm. sorry.
@@CrystalBest that’s okay, Crystal. I found something I could use. I understand about not having the time. I was able to move to a part time job in January which has given me more time to be creative. I know you have young kids so when you add that I’m sure your life is very full. Just know I appreciated all your sharing. I made some of the cards you showed. The guitar, the graduation cap, and this one. I’ll post this one in Let’s Make Cards in case you have a chance to check it out. Thank you so much for all you’ve shared! I pray God’s blessings on you and your family.
@@tbate77 Ahh I'm thrilled to hear that you found something you could use!! I can't wait to see it! I miss crafting and making my videos so badly. I hope to get back to it soon. I absolutely love Let's make cards. Be sure to tag me when you share it. Would like to take a look at it. xoxoxo
Thank you for sharing this video and teaching us how to make these beautiful sympathy cards. I struggle with sympathy cards as well. I never know just what to do. These cards that you made are simple,and elegant. Thanks again. ♥️
These are simply stunning cards. I love how you have your supplies readily available and don’t leave camera looking for things. Very soothing voice. Definitely made a subscriber out of me.
Crystal IS a delight to watch, isn't she!?! You're so very right about her voice. Calm, but doesn't put you to sleep, and the audio remains level throughout the video. And, yes, either she has already laid out her supplies to hand, or is MASTERFUL with her editing. Either way, she is a JOY to watch!
Hey Kathryn! 👋🏽👋🏽 I'm thrilled you found my channel and I'm so glad you're here. Welcome. 😁 Thank you for watching and subscribing. I really appreciate it. ❤️❤️❤️
Unique and beautiful cards. Some would be great for a man's birthday, using different colors. Thank you for being genuine and showing your mistakes instead of a video edit. Also, you demonstrate at a pace that is easily to follow. I love your calm music for all your videos. Very helpful, as always!
Oh Mary what a lovely comment. Thank you so much for taking the time to giv eme feedback on my videos. I really do appreciate it. And yes absolutely. I've made the leaf border card for a wedding already....it was amazing. ❤️
I love your cards, so simple and very beautiful. I also love your video, it's very professional and you explain and show us how to do it, it's fab thank you
I just found you! I love your videos and your techniques. I have already made a graduation card and another from your other videos. You have a beautiful personality and I look forward to watching many more of your videos! Thank you!
Awww you're welcome Cherie! I'm glad you found me! I'm thrilled you are enjoying the videos. Thank you for watching and leaving such a lovely comment. You made my day today. ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you. I really appreciate your kind comment and I'm thrilled you liked the cards and instructions ❤️ please feel free to share with your crafty friends and with me when you try them! instagram.com/crystalbestls
This was a great video. I get way overwhelmed to think of multiple different cards and end of not sending any. This is so helpful in that it can provide direction and encouragement and that it doesn't have to be so overwhelming. Thank you for giving us direction for something that is really needed to help us to reach out in comfort to others when they are hurting.
Thank you so much for your kind comment. I really do appreciate the feedback on my videos. ❤️ Supporting others who are going through a difficult time is so important and handmade cards are always appreciated.
Beautiful cards. I am glad I found your channel. You are giving me some ideas for how to use things I already have! I love that you just use a few things but come up with completely different looking cards. Thanks for the inspiration!
I'm new to your videos. So glad I found you. Unfortunately, this yr I've needed many Sympathy cards. These are beautiful and easy. Your a very good instructor also. My only question is where did you get the beautiful Script words? I'm looking to some and these would be the perfect size. Thank you so much for sharing this tutorial. I subscribed.
Hello there. For almost all my cards I design my sentiments on the computer and print. That way I get exactly what I want....size, font etc. I'm so sorry you've had to make some of these but I'm glad I can help you through the process. Thank you for watching and subscribing. I truly appreciate it. 💛
Such beautiful cards! I just love the velum one with the pearls! I finished making 4 cards just today. Wish I had seen yours before I started! Sadly there will always be a next time...
Hey Michele, I think the Vellum one is my fave to and yes sadly but at least we can lift the spirits of our grieving friends and family with something beautiful and handmade from our hearts. ❤️
@@CrystalBest I also liked that you had printed your sentiment and used that on the card. I have a lot of stamp sets, and never seem to have the right sentiment or message for the person I am sending the card to. I have to figure out a template to print sentiments that would end up in exactly the right place when I cut the card stock into 4. 😀
@@michelepatton4013 absolutely!!! Where I live they don't sell a lot of stamps so it was truly a necessity for me....I love the idea of printing though as you can get exactly what you want regarding the size of the words and fonts! :)
Crystal these are such beautiful cards. Love your creativity and how you explain in detail. Thank you very much for your demonstrations and buying guide. I would like to know which stamp & die you used for the Vellum card.
Hello there! You're welcome and thank you for your kind and very thoughtful comment. ❤️ I have not been able to find this sizzix stamp and die set any longer. I know someone said they found something similar in one of those Ali express sites but I only purchase from Amazon. X I hope you find something similar.
Hi there. It was a Sizzix Framelits stamp and die set. I cant seem to find it again on Amazon. Will continue to look for it for you and send you a link.
I love these cards and your videos are very easy to follow. Could you supply the stamps and dies you used to make the catrds? it would be very helpful to me. thank you for sharing.
Hello there Grace. I have updated the description box of the video to include links for most of the dies that I used. The stamps and die set are discontinued by sizzix. I have been looking for a replacement for it.
Thank you so much. The leaves are from sizzix. It's a pretty popular one. I will try to find the link and send it to you. The floral stamp and coordinating die set seems to be discontinued as I can't find it anywhere.
both are from Amazon. The corner rounder is WRMK and the dies are from Sizzix. I will get the links for you :) Happy Crafting! corner rounder: www.amazon.com/We-Memory-Keepers-Corner-Punch/dp/B078PM1SS6/ref=sr_1_4?crid=RTN0H4ZGFTP7&keywords=wrmk+corner+rounder&qid=1658497800&sprefix=wrmk+co%2Caps%2C177&sr=8-4 leaf dies: www.amazon.com/Sizzix-661206-Thinlits-Garden-Greens/dp/B01GUFFQDE/ref=sr_1_5?crid=2RXM3HBSTS857&keywords=sizzix+leaf+dies&qid=1658497928&sprefix=sizzix+leaf%2Caps%2C182&sr=8-5
Hello there Damari and welcome to the wonderful world of Cardmaking. I'm so glad you're enjoying my videos. I got my glue bottle on Amazon. Search for a precision tip applicator bottle for glue. Make sure it has a stainless silver pin for the top. I use AGG - Art Glitter Glue. It's my favorite glue to use. You can also get it on Amazon ❤️❤️❤️ if you have any other questions feel free to pop in and ask. Happy Crafting. 😁

I struck gold with these cards! i was looking for some symbol sympathy cards and I was lead to here. I have made these cards and would love to show you one of them. I had some lace flowers instead of the cut-out ones that you did. They are the same size that you have here and have vellum made in the center with a pearl! I stiffen the lace flower with this stuff called Stiff-it, let it dry to harden and they worked beautifully! Do you have an email address? the below bounces back
Awwww I'm so thrilled to hear of your success with crafting these cards. Thanks for watching and sharing your experience making the cards with me. I truly appreciate it. You can email them to me on crystalbestlifestyle@gmail.com ❤️ can't wait to see your design. Sounds like you did a great job!!! 😍😍😍
Hi there. I only use Art Glitter Glue and I use a needle tip glue applicator bottle so it manages how much glue comes out every time. ❤ you can get both on Amazon.
Is there a chance I could get measurements on the card for the leaves on the vellum & pearls 4:15 in light blue? Thank you in advance. Sharing His Love, Jean Bergenthal
Hey Jean, absolutely. All the dimensions of all the cards are outlined in detain in the description box of this video. Please check in there and let me know if you get through. 💙
Hey there Theresa, I've looked for these on Amazon for a while but they seem to be discontinued. It's sizzix I know but I can't seem to find the exact ones. Any floral stamp and die set will work though ❤️
Hey Sandi, I've been looking for them on amazon and have not been able to locate. I know they are sizzix brand but not sure where they are sold still. I got them from amazon a couple years ago. ❤️ Any stamp and die set will work though. The size of the flowers are 1 1/2 inches across.
Hi there. All the measurements and a materials list for all my cards are always in the description box of the video. All these cards are A2 cards so they are 5.5x4.25
Sorry ik kan geen Engels schrijven. Gecondoleerd met uw oom. 😪 Ik vind het zo mooi al uw kaarten. Ik ga ook proberen te maken. Ik ben nog niet zo lang begonnen met kaarten maken. Hoe heet de stempel met een bloem met de snij mal? Gestempeld op de vellen papier. Hartelijk bedankt, Yvonne😘
Hallo daar. Ik gebruik google translate, dus ik weet niet zeker hoe dit zal uitpakken. Bedankt voor je lieve reactie en het kijken naar de video's op mijn kanaal. Ik waardeer het echt. De bloemenstempel is een Sizzix-stempel en kan ik niet meer vinden op Amazon. Maar elke anderhalve centimeter bloemstempel en stans zal hiervoor werken.
Such beautiful cards, Crystal. Thank you for sharing--your instructions are so nice to follow and complete. Looking forward to trying this!
Glad you like them! Thank you for your kind comment.

It's glitter cardstock. I cut the strips really thin with a paper cutter. It's just 1/16 of an inch wide and 5 1/2 inches long.
So simple yet so stunning. What is the brand for the flower stamp and die set, and the leaves?
Thank you so much. The leaves are from sizzix. It's a pretty popular one. I will try to find the link and send it to you. The floral stamp and coordinating die set seems to be discontinued as I can't find it anywhere.
Nice!
Thank you so kindly Sue ❤️
Crystal, can you tell me where you got the leaf die cut used on the first sympathy card. Thanks
Love your cards. Beautiful!! Where did you get the leaf die from and the corner tool ?
both are from Amazon. The corner rounder is WRMK and the dies are from Sizzix. I will get the links for you :) Happy Crafting!

@@CrystalBest your the best!! Thanks.
you're welcome @@joyceloszewski7042
Thank you I’m new at making cards and your videos are very informative! Where did you get your glue bottle and what type of glue do you use?
Hello there Damari and welcome to the wonderful world of Cardmaking. I'm so glad you're enjoying my videos. I got my glue bottle on Amazon. Search for a precision tip applicator bottle for glue. Make sure it has a stainless silver pin for the top. I use AGG - Art Glitter Glue. It's my favorite glue to use. You can also get it on Amazon ❤️❤️❤️ if you have any other questions feel free to pop in and ask. Happy Crafting. 😁
Thank you!!
Here the link for the glue bottle I have: Crafter's Companion Crafter`s Companion-Fine Tip Glue Applicator (2PC), White, One Size a.co/d/69WqYWW
Here is the link for the glue I use: Art Institute Glitter Refill Bottle, 8 oz - Single Pack, 4336846143 Dries Clear Adhesive Glue 8 Ounce (Flat Cap) Re a.co/d/73yPhdX
❤️❤️❤️
Thank you!!! Happy Card Making😊
I struck gold with these cards! i was looking for some symbol sympathy cards and I was lead to here. I have made these cards and would love to show you one of them. I had some lace flowers instead of the cut-out ones that you did. They are the same size that you have here and have vellum made in the center with a pearl! I stiffen the lace flower with this stuff called Stiff-it, let it dry to harden and they worked beautifully! Do you have an email address? the below bounces back
Awwww I'm so thrilled to hear of your success with crafting these cards. Thanks for watching and sharing your experience making the cards with me. I truly appreciate it. You can email them to me on crystalbestlifestyle@gmail.com ❤️ can't wait to see your design. Sounds like you did a great job!!! 😍😍😍

Your style immediately appealed to me: delicately feminine. Hopefully, I will encounter more examples of your style!
Thank you Christine 💐 I truly appreciate your comment.
What glue do you use? I find all the glues I've tried tends to run all over or bleed through the cardstock
Hi there. I only use Art Glitter Glue and I use a needle tip glue applicator bottle so it manages how much glue comes out every time. ❤ you can get both on Amazon.
Is there a chance I could get measurements on the card for the leaves on the vellum & pearls 4:15 in light blue? Thank you in advance. Sharing His Love, Jean Bergenthal
Hey Jean, absolutely. All the dimensions of all the cards are outlined in detain in the description box of this video. Please check in there and let me know if you get through. 💙
@@CrystalBest thank you soooooo much. Yes, I found the measurements. Going to work on that today. I’ve also started subscribing to your ‘blog’.
awww thank you for your support!

Could you tell me where you got the flower dies? Thank you.
Hey there Theresa, I've looked for these on Amazon for a while but they seem to be discontinued. It's sizzix I know but I can't seem to find the exact ones. Any floral stamp and die set will work though ❤️
@@CrystalBest Oh, that’s too bad but thank you for your reply.
Do you have a link to where you got the leafy die you used in the first two sympathy cards. I have the others but not that one.
Sure thing Robyn. It's from this set: Sizzix 661206 Thinlits Die Set, Garden Greens by Tim Holtz (9/Pack) a.co/d/54qz9sI
Happy Crafting. 🌿
@@CrystalBest Thank You very much!
What flower stamps are they please?
Hey Sandi, I've been looking for them on amazon and have not been able to locate. I know they are sizzix brand but not sure where they are sold still. I got them from amazon a couple years ago. ❤️ Any stamp and die set will work though. The size of the flowers are 1 1/2 inches across.
Lovely cards but do you ever give dimensions?
Hi there. All the measurements and a materials list for all my cards are always in the description box of the video. All these cards are A2 cards so they are 5.5x4.25
Sorry ik kan geen Engels schrijven. Gecondoleerd met uw oom. 😪
Ik vind het zo mooi al uw kaarten. Ik ga ook proberen te maken. Ik ben nog niet zo lang begonnen met kaarten maken.
Hoe heet de stempel met een bloem met de snij mal? Gestempeld op de vellen papier.
Hartelijk bedankt,
Yvonne😘
Hallo daar. Ik gebruik google translate, dus ik weet niet zeker hoe dit zal uitpakken. Bedankt voor je lieve reactie en het kijken naar de video's op mijn kanaal. Ik waardeer het echt. De bloemenstempel is een Sizzix-stempel en kan ik niet meer vinden op Amazon. Maar elke anderhalve centimeter bloemstempel en stans zal hiervoor werken.
Could give out measurements to your pieces.
Hi Cheryl, all the measurements for all 6 cards are in the description box for the video.
Where are the measurements of the cards ?
Hi there. As mentioned in the video the measurements for all the cards can be found in the description box of this video. Let me know if you find it.
Please listen to your video and count how many times you say ‘I’m gonna’. It’s irritating. The demonstration and ideas are wonderful and well done.
'I'm gonna' say thanks to this comment! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😜
You wasted so much cardstock for the sentiment.
Hehe I keep scraps and use them for lots of different projects so don't worry. No craft supplies are wasted in my craft room ❤️
