4 Handmade Sympathy Cards You Can Make For Anyone

April 29, 2022April 29, 2022 by Jackie

As a card maker, sympathy cards are some of the hardest, but most meaningful, to make. These 4 handmade sympathy cards are simple to make. I kept them very soft and calming.

For all of these cards, I have looked through the dies I have and found what I call “silhouette” dies. Dies that just cut floral/nature shapes; many different die sets have these.

I used the dies with a greeting set for my easy-to-make handmade sympathy cards.
