Sympathy Card

Hello!  I hope you have all had a nice weekend!  It was a cold one here for us, but it gave me a chance to do some things around the house - like finally get my Christmas decorations up!  I also had a few craft projects I wanted to work on.

One of the projects on my to-do list was a sympathy card for my project manager at work.  She recently lost her mother, who she was very close with.  I made this card so everyone on our team could write a note to her.  Our team is very close, and we are all hurting for her during this difficult time.


I got the idea for this card by doing a Google search and looking at images for sympathy cards.  I found a card that used this same bird image and I really liked it.  I embossed the background paper, framed the sentiment and popped it up, and added crinkle ribbon that I tied into a double bow.


I thought birthday cards for men were hard, but I have to say, sympathy cards are harder!!

Thanks for stopping by to take a look!

Recipe:
Cardstock from Bazzill, DCWV and Recollections
Bird from Beyond Birthdays cut at 3.4 inches
Flower embossing folder
Sentiment from Scrappy Moms Stamps Everyday Greetings set
Crinkle ribbon

  1. Oh wow, prayers for your manager. This is a lovely card, and I agree the bird is a great image for this type of card. I am sure she will really appreciate the words everyone has for her. (Love your new blog look too!!)
