Sympathy Cards

I usually keep a variety of sympathy cards on hand so I can have a selection to pick from when I need one.  I didn't have a good selection left, so I worked the past few days making them.  I made this one both horizontally and vertically.  I liked this one the best.

To make this one, I made a mask and sponged in the sun.  I removed the mask and stamped the trees.

RIP Wink

 

 

This is the card I made for one of our band members when her husband died.  She and her son both thanked me for making it for her.  It was actually the son that figured out I made it.  He happened to turn it over and I stamp the back of all my cards with my name. 

Another Sympathy Card

I made this card for my community band to send to the one of our tuba players.  His father died recently.  His dad attended almost all of our practices and concerts not because of his son, but because his wife was in our band too.  I also made a card for her which I will post another day.  We will all miss seeing him at our concerts and practices.

Love These Butterflies

I have needed quite a few sympathy cards and thinking of you type cards the past few weeks.  Here are two that I made using a stamp set and die that I earned free from Stampin' Up!.  I love this butterfly.  It is now my new favorite butterfly die. 

Sympathy Cards

Once again I had to get sympathy cards out of my box. Jim's aunt passed away this past week. He did not go to the funeral as it was in the north. He thought it was just way to cold right now to go. We did send cards to each of her 4 children.

Some Sympathy and Others

This is just a variety of cards with flowers that happens to have two in the selection that are sympathy cards. I never had sympathy cards made up ahead until just recently. It just didn't feel right to me. At craft shows people were asking for them. When I told people I didn't like making money on others sadness, most people told me it was just a part of life.
