Losing someone at holiday time always seems harder since so many family traditions and gatherings happen during the late fall and early winter. Sadly, we have lost several more friends in the last several weeks, and in fact, I have another three sympathy cards to make this weekend. Two of them are for the children of one of our dearest friends who died very suddenly last week. She was 87, so had lived a long life. But as far as anyone knew, she was in good health, and was certainly as sharp as ever. We were just devastated when we heard the news.
But here are three sympathy cards that have been sent in the past two weeks. For all of them, I’ve relied on the Altenew’s “Leaf Mix” dies, and a sentiment from Papertrey Ink’s “Warm Regards” set. This one has a different design which is my favorite. I’m throwing it into the challenge at Addicted to Stamps and More: Any Occasion. I imagine a sympathy card is not quite what they’re expecting during this busy Christmas crafting time!
These two are very similar in design, but different in color.
Karen I am sorry for your loss of a good friend. Facing the death of loved ones is very difficult during the holiday season especially when the world seems to be ramping up with celebration & your world just shattered. Your beautiful cards I am sure will bring comfort to the families, they are very elegant.
Out of darkness comes light which your beautiful, simple designs capture well. I too have three sympathy cards that need to be made for recent losses in our circle of friends. Thank you for the inspiration and reminder to care for others.
Your sympathy cards are simple, elegant and beautiful. I’m hoping they bring some comfort to the recipients. I’m liking all the variations of your card. Thanks for joining us at Addicted to Stamps and More!

I sad to hear of the loss of your friend – however old someone is, it is nevertheless a shock and hard to take in at first. Your cards are so perfect: I especially like the first one. Such a great mix of elegant yet sombre …
I’m so sorry to hear about the loss of friends & am sending hugs your way. Your lovely heartfelt cards will certainly be a blessing to those missing their loved ones this holiday season.
