I always need sympathy cards. Seems like you hit a certain age and relatives and friends start going. Yikes, I am getting old. Anyway, I thought I would share a couple I made up so I had some on hand. I've had this marble type cardstock for a long time and really didn't like it. I pulled it out the other day and thought it kind of looked like clouds so came up with this. I just stamped some bold flowers/weeds/grass on the bottom edge in a coordinating color, added ribbon to match and then the sympathy saying on a square nestie. I used the Martha Steward border punch for the top on coordinating cardstock and there, I have some generic sympathy cards on hand that I like. They were fast, easy, mailable and look like you took more time than you did. I always like that! It's simple but that's ok. Sometimes I don't like all the 'stuff' on cards.

I am sorry for the need for the cards, but they are great.
I like the "simple" cards best too, especially for sympathy cards. These look great.
Neat cards and so quick and easy! Know what you're saying about the sympathy cards!
Thanks for sharing!
