With Sympathy...

I have goosebumps right now-I was running late for work as I was doing this post to help one of my CTMH sisters out as she needed ideas for a sympathy card.  I arrived at work (I am a church secretary) to find out a member had passed away over the week-end...! -- S.

No, no one has died

that I am sending sympathy wishes to--

but Sympathy Cards

are what I chose to do for our

Christmas Groupie Swap.

Why?

Because no one likes to have to buy them let alone make them.

So I thought I would do those.

I've made several different ones over the years...
from pets...

to people...

but I really really wanted something clean and simple

(somehow "extras" on a sympathy card just doesn't seem right to me-

too much glitz and whatever--well, it isn't what I wanted...)

and something that I could mass produce easily

and just have on hand

This is what I came up with

The "Thinking of You" is on a small flap that I just attached

to the back right-hand side of the card-

it just folds around the front-

Yes, you could cut the card base so it's all one piece

but this, for me, is easier...

I *think* the sentiment is from CTMH Card Chatter--

could be wrong, tho--

here's a view of it slightly open.

The inside sentiment says

Expressing heartfelt sympathy

and offering a prayer

that God above will comfort you

and ease the loss you bear

I have one more card that I will do for the swap-

yes, another sympathy,

based on

the card at the end of this post

(I couldn't find the photo easily)

I think I will avoid the pop-up look

but stick with the sentiment

we'll see-stay tuned!

Better go get these buns ready for work-

I am late!

Until next time, happy stamping and scrapping!

Blessings,
