Generally, there are two cards that we can never have enough of, Birthday and (unfortunately) Sympathy Cards. The need for a Sympathy Card can come unexpectedly and, often, we are not in the right space to create a card to express our heartfelt thoughts. So, with that in mind, I create Sympathy Cards at times when I don't need them, to keep on standby. If you choose your sentiment carefully, these cards can also be used for sharing handwritten messages with those who are having a difficult time too, not just in times of loss.
The Heartfelt Blooms stamp set is a great set for creating such cards. Here's a simple design using the gorgeous, floral "Distinkive" stamp as the focal point. The "Sending Heartfelt Thoughts" sentiment is versatile and this card could be used for a variety of reasons...
