one of "those" cards...

Since venturing into the stamping/cardmaking world, I've discovered that one can never have enough birthday cards, thank you cards, and sympathy cards in stock. I've got a TON of birthday and thank you cards hanging out in my arsenal. I figured it was time to start working on the sympathy ones.

I feel like you can always plan for a birthday card - you know when the person is having a birthday and you can have a card ready.

And the same goes for a thank you card - you know you want to share your appreciation for something or for something someone has done and you can make a couple of these ahead of time.

But with a sympathy card... they're usually made when you find out something has happened. And usually, it's the most difficult time to make one.

So I made this card because I knew it was something good to have. And honestly, it made me feel good to make it and keep handy. I used AmyR Stamps' Sympathy Sentiments and I really like the all of the stamps in the set.

You guys know me and sentiment stamps!

anyway, I really enjoyed making this card - I even had to make an inside to it! (Ignore my Unity handle. I needed something to keep the card from sliding down! *lol*

Happy Hump day! :)

I usually have to run out and buy a sympathy card. I love that PP. I worked with it a couple of months back and it flowed so well. Love the cards.
