[@traceyallen8286]

Yep, doing sympathy cards in 'the heat of the moment' is definitely not the way to go. Much better to do them with a calm mind. These are elegant and understated. There's something about that fern that's just right. Thank you for the inspo for these difficult cards that we don't like to think about - but all need at some time.

[@susancerroni6671]

When you first started blending these, I had my doubts, but they turned out amazing. The sentiment on vellum was a great touch. Beautiful cards, Amy❣️

[@melodymueller3149]

Thankyou Amy. I had 2 deaths in the family, this month one on Christmas and December 18. I wasnt prepared . I have no Stamps or Dies or any ideas for that. I took your link and ran with it. I'm Old my self. It never entered my mind to make condolence cards. Yours are absolutely beautiful. Thanks again.

[@harriettezmalloy7182]

Beautiful cards. Yes it is good to have sympathy cards on hand. They are hard to make “in the moment” when they are needed. These turned out really nice. The embossing designs are perfect.

[@ladymilehigh5202]

Amy, as usual, just loving the color combos on these cards. The gold splatter and embossing, just to quote you…” chefs kiss”! I need to make thank you cards and definitely thinking to use these colors. Beautiful. Thank you.

[@judyconstantino7035]

Amy, what a genius idea for using the tweezers to help with the bow! Beautiful cards! 😊❤️🐾🌵

[@nancyskinner5207]

My work space is a total mess too. I wish I could work differently but I haven’t managed to learn how. I once melted a new stamping platform with my heat gun. Love these cards, and I need to make sympathy cards too. Thank you.

[@patriciawilson4135]

No bling needed with all the sparkly embossing and splatters. Loved these cards and your beautiful they were. Embossing folders here I come. Thanks again for all your lovely tips and techniques.

[@patriciariddle2997]

Those were all lovely cards. Sympathy cards are the hardest to make.

[@pattiepan]

Very artistic and tasteful...I like them I don't like overly mushy sentiments ...I like things to be sincere and simple about death. So I like the simplicity of the cards.....................

[@marzeezee]

These are beautiful. I wasn't honestly sure about the colors to begin with,😂😮, but they were gorgeous when they dried.

[@ruthjames715]

As with Susan, I wasn't too impressed but when I saw them finished, I changed my mind. I loved the vellum and the little gold splatters. Ruth down under.

[@dking1362]

When you did it, the green splatter wasn't very visible - but in the final close-ups, I can see that it really adds to the cards. I haven't made any sympathy cards, either, in ages. Then just last week a friend asked me to make her 8 sympathy cards. Then I decided while I was on a roll, I would make a bunch for my sister (as a pastor's wife, she sends a lot of sympathy cards.). Then I realized I really didn't have any on hand myself, and made more - and here you are doing the same! These are both lovely and quick to make; thanks for sharing.

[@iartistdotme]

Perfect for sympathy - or anything, but still perfect for sympathy. I love the sparkle and two tone sentiment inside and colors you chose - works for both male and female. Now to go through my stash and find something with the same impact.

[@leeminer1939]

Excellent, perfect, and yes -- no bling please. These are exactly the kind of card I would want to send. And I agree, having them on hand rather doing them under pressure or while hurting is the way to go to make this difficult task a little easier. Really good job, Amy. And your words were fine.

[@leescraps1]

These are gorgeous. I always make these ahead of time. You never want to make them when you are sad.

[@aliceadler4569]

Hello dearest Amy R!!! Thank you for showing these necessary cards!!! ♥️♥️🥰🥰🌺🌺. Your hair is the prettiest color!!!

[@debbielumpkins3442]

Beautiful, subtle, and soothing.

[@cherylchifley6639]

Love these card, I really struggle with sympathy cards.

[@craftycs8917]

We agree its better to have a few sympathy cards made up. Thanks for sharing your creations and Happy Crafting x

[@candiwelsh5524]

Amy I just want to say how much I love seeing your lovely face. I have always loved your very fun personality and it’s so nice to be able to put a face to the voice. You are a delight and I love your channel and all you bring to the table. You are so gifted and helpful. Thank you for all you do for this community. GOD bless you my dear. Oh and I love these cards!👍❤️

[@user-vb8ts5zf4c]

Your sympathy cards are lovely. I think the oxides on the desert storm add a softness that is perfect for this type of card. Thank you for sharing.

[@kcscraps5]

Very nice sympathy cards! I love that they are on the subtle side and have a nature vibe.

[@LoJo99]

These are beautiful and elegant. Perfect for a Sympathy card

[@betsybirge7934]

These are lovely Amy. I agree you need to make these way ahead of time. Your nails look so good with your rings!!!! 😊

[@judyconstantino7035]

Amy, these cards are PERFECT as sympathy cards and came out beautifully.

[@ladyrph]

They are perfect for sympathy cards! Have to sit down and make some now. Making them ahead of time is a great idea!!

[@jjp.2382]

These are really beautiful and like you said, the kraft paper mutes the colors. Like I would’ve never guessed cracked pistachio!! Wonderful cards as always ❤

[@suesmith2353]

Amy, these cards are gorgeous. I love this style for sympathy cards. I unfortunately have had to make many sympathy cards in the last 2 months. 😢 Thank for share your creativity with us. ❤❤

[@disneyizme6855]

Wonderful and respectful sympathy cards. Great job. 😊

[@brooksdogdays]

Perfect. They are soft and just enough shine.

[@jackidoser4345]

Amy, love those cards. Classy and elegant for the occasion . All those special touches play very nicely together on that kraft card stock. Your video has inspired me for the need. Thanks for sharing your creativity.

[@anne-veroniquejoly6664]

Hi, I love the fern cards mostly because the colors and splashes go very well together. ❤ The vine ones, I find the colors a bit dull, maybe it's an optical illusion. Like them anyway! The fact of making them in advance is a great idea. Thanks for sharing this with us.

[@vickyblackwell4720]

These cards are simply perfect and would definitely be great to have on hand for when needed. My husband's cousin just lost their 3 year old son and I just have not been able to think of making a sympathy card, much less know what to say in it. This set looks like it has some great messages that would work. Thanks for sharing!

[@harriettezmalloy7182]

Oh that is heartbreaking. So sorry for your family. Hugs & prayers for everyone.

[@PrairiePaperandInk]

hugs

[@susanbyers7523]

The cards turned out beautifully

[@christabeard5128]

These are soooo elegant and beautiful. I'll have to remember these next time I need a sympathy card. I like that stamp set for SSS. Thank you for sharing

[@jragnes]

Pretty cards. The bones are my favorites. I had doubts when you had them in the splat box with how dark they looked but they absorbed and dried back to beautiful colors!

[@jerralynrose]

I had to make my first sympathy card ever too when Paul’s grandma died this June. Like you said, hard to do in the moment… I have one spare now. On another happier note, ohhhhh, doing embossing folders with snow splatters for Christmas, eh?

[@aquinyc]

Just beautiful. Nothing else needed, they’re perfect. And good to have ready. Laura

[@bethjackson8727]

I appreciate these ideas. I never thought of using Kraft for sympathy cards. Very interesting effect. Thank you.

[@pegy7705]

These are very nice cards. Thank you for sharing. I also love your hack of using tweezers to hold your twine. Game changer!

[@debbiebaker7613]

AND.....beautiful cards. Yes, I would prefer to have these on hand instead of having to make one right when you need it. Ciao:)

[@cheri6905]

Really beautiful cards..... & I like that they would also work for happier occasions!

[@paulienvandenbosch3857]

These are great. I also have these cards, "on hands" It is hard to make one "during grief"

[@PaperSquirrelsCardDesigns]

Love the simple beauty of these--this is the kind of idea we need more of. Thank you!

[@rhondacesana2221]

What beautiful cards for one who is grieving to receive❤

[@tinadaniels3965]

These cards are beautiful and perfectly matched for the occasion. Wonderful, thank you.

[@wendyharbarger1445]

My go to sympathy card is using the Altenew 3-D embossing folder (flower of some sort) with a touch of ink to highlight. Then a sentiment. I like the use of the vellum strip though. Thanks for sharing your talent with us.

[@redbecca1327]

Using the reverse tweezers to help tie a bow! Omg, thank you for sharing this because I struggle with bows!

[@lorriedarbyshire8146]

Great job Amy! These cards turned out incredible and it's good to have them on hand. I thought they were pretty ugly at first and wondered what you were thinking, LOL, but you pulled it off once again!!!!

[@joannclupper7902]

In the last two years I have watched over 2500 card making videos. Today although perhaps I have seen similar techniques, I actually was so impressed with a great many of your techniques that are habits for you, that I made a note of them in my special computer file. Thank you. I'll be watching you.

[@kmmiller9876]

These are so very nice. I like the understated/quiet design. These are tough cards to create and so necessary to have on hand. They will mean a lot to the recipient. Thank you for the idea and layout of these cards.

[@margokraus6371]

The sentiment on vellum is beautiful! I have to get out my embossing folders and try this out. Simple, beautiful and necessary! Thanks for sharing the inside of the card as well! Thanks for the video!

[@alisonpendlebury-brown7885]

Beautiful cards. I have a similar kind of sense of humour and can find myself in a sticky situation at times ooops 😂

[@BowieChrisReaDimashlover]

Ces cartes sont tellement belles et élégantes! Je trouve qu'elles correspondent parfaitement aux sentiments. Merci.These cards are so beautiful and elegant! I find that they correspond perfectly to the feelings. Thanks.

[@JoanOrloffDK]

Beautiful cards Amy 🥰 I love the embossing folders, your ink blending and the sentiments ❤️ thanks for sharing your creativity Hugs xx

[@kathys7325]

First time here. Pretty sympathy cards. Liked 👍 and shared

[@Lainers2000]

Not sure how I missed this video but it will be one I will refer to again. These cards are beautiful and perfect for any occasion but the subtlety really lends itself to sympathy cards. At first, I couldn’t see how the inks you were using would end up looking soft like in the thumbnail but then I realized once they dried, they just blended together. Glad I watched this. Thank you ,Amy.. P.S. I agree that bling is not needed on sympathy cards.

[@PrairiePaperandInk]

I put bling on sympathy cards - this time I just felt it wasn't needed

[@orlahastings4563]

Beautiful beautiful cards Amy. Totally agree that of all cards to have a few on hand, sympathy cards are the most important and the most difficult to make at the time they are needed. Plus of all the handmade cards to give to someone, a sympathy card is so very much appreciated by the recipient. These 4 are subtle and understated and elegant, just perfect. ❤😘

[@maryflint8329]

I love these! They are beautiful and appropriate for sympathy cards.

[@lookup8297]

Beautiful job!...I like to keep sympathy cards in my stash also,... never know when you need them and it is not a card you like to just sit down and make in a given situation...thanks!

[@debbiebaker7613]

OMGOSH! 2 METAL SHIMS? I never thought of that and I have so much trouble with the 3D embossing folders. Thank you for showing me this and it really works! Ciao:)

[@samanthac5761]

Love that set. Used it many times. Like you I prefer to make my sympathy cards ahead.

[@madelinelittman1863]

I never know what to write on the inside of sympathy cards. Love the sentiments you used

[@annaedwards7315]

Lovely cards Amy. Thank you for sharing 😊

[@lisaloiselle4562]

Those are lovely. I was glad to hear your discussion of the craft knife. I bleed on my projects enough as it is!

[@cropnkathy]

Very pretty sympathy cards. Thank you for doing this type of card. It is very appreciated. Great inspiration. 🤍

[@stellaolejar9007]

Amy these cards are just beautiful and so appropriate. You are so right it’s one of the hardest cards to get happy about creating it. I like you try to make a few ahead. Thank you Amy, you are so appreciated.
