Sympathy Card Using Cricut Art Philosophy Cartridge

Hello all you beautiful people.  The weather has still been warm here.  It has been a tough few weeks. My sister-in-law passed away in MO last Thursday during the night and her funeral was Wednesday. I wasn't able to attend due to my allergies.  I used the time to work on Sympathy cards for my brother and his family.


I created this card for my brother, Buddy.  I saw one on Pinterest; but it noted google.com; so unable to find who created it.  I think I have created a card similar to this before; but I love this card layout.

    The layout on your first card is amazing! I love everything about it! I am pinning it so I can use it as inspiration later. I am sorry to hear about the loss of your sister in law. Hugs!

      Thanks so much Beth for your lovely compliment and for your kind words. There is only one card. The second part is always the inside. I like showing the inside for people. I wish more people did that; so I could have more ideas for the inside of my cards. LOL. You are welcome to pin all you like. Thanks. Be sure to register for my free candy above if you haven't already. Hugs, Gloria

    Hi Gloria, So sorry to hear about the loss of your sister-in-law. I lost my mother-in law a couple of months ago. She was Australian, so we didn't go to the funeral. I am sure your brother and his family will love this card. It has a very tranquil feel to it. Hugs, Carol S.xx

    I'm so sorry for your family's loss, I know it had to be hard for you not to be able to go to your sister-in-law's funeral but she knew you loved her. What a way to channel your love for her by making a card to comfort your brother. This is beautiful, soft and gentle and full of love and sympathy for what he is going through right now. I think the colors you selected, the sentiments, and the feel of it work so wonderfully together that it will make him feel you hugging him across the miles. Thank you for submitting such a beautiful, heartfelt, and thoughtful card to us for our Opus Gluei theme. I hope you consider returning to see us again for future themes.
