Easy Sympathy Card To Make with Simply Stamps

I’ve never realized the importance of Sympathy Cards until the past 6 months.  My father passed away suddenly.  Then my father-in-law passed away 3 months later.

My family received so many Sympathy Cards with wonderful messages about what wonderful men they were.  I saved all of them.  It was comforting to know that so many people were thinking of us and praying for us.

I was provided product and compensation for this post.  All opinions are my own.

Sympathy cards aren’t one of my favorites to make.  You have to balance them so that they are appropriate for the somber occasion, and sometimes that can be challenging.

Because the cards that were sent to me meant so much, I’m trying my best to make and send more of them.

Here’s an Easy Sympathy Card for you to make using a leaf and sentiment from Simply Stamps.
