For today, I am sharing some cards that we often dislike to create. That would be sympathy cards. I have some Tips For Quiet Reflection, an excellent set for thinking of you, a sympathy card, and much more.
I am a big fan of scenery; these stamps have beautiful scenery with reflection. I didn’t share in the video, but after I finished the video, I thought we could always ink the top portion of the stamp if we wish to have a different view. I will share this technique later.
Tips Video For Quiet Reflection
The Quiet Reflection is a Dist-Ink-Tive stamp, so I have some tips for stamping with these types of stamps. I love the Dist-Ink-Tive stamp, although stamping with them is a learning curve. It depends a lot on whether your ink pad is juicy or dryer. I explain in the video.
Quiet Reflection Showcase
I don’t feel the need to have bling and embellishments for sympathy cards. I like a subtle and soft card for this occasion, but some say bright colors and bling brighten people’s days, so the choice is yours.
Measurements
- Smoky Slate 11 x 4-¼ score at 5-½ card base.
- Blackberry Bliss or Misty Moonlight 5-¼ x 4
- Basic White 4-¾ x 3-½ front, 4 x 5-¼ inside
The top layer of the Basic White is 3-¾ x 5; all other measurements are the same.
Inside, I did the second generation for the stamp. The second generation is stamped off onto scrap paper first, then onto your cardstock. If you are wondering what stamp set the greeting is from, I did this on my computer and printed them on card stock. I don’t like to write much, so having a lovely verse inside the card is a blessing.

Meanwhile, the greatest compliment you can give me is a referral to a friend. I appreciate any help you can provide.
I totally agree. Even as I usually always put some kind of bling on cards; sympathy cards are best with delicate and softer cards. I may add a bird, but not always. I think I really like your sympathy card just the way you have it. You are hard on the checkbook buddy. Now I think I will move this stamp set up on my wish list to make sympathy cards. Manly cards are not so bad for me, but sympathy cards seem to stump me. Just because less is more and that’s my issue most of the time. Thanks for making and teaching this card front. You really are the best! 💎
It is a great set for the difficult time 🙂 I bet Bling Bling you can add a littl bling 🙂
