Today I have a sympathy card that I made using the Lovely Floral Cricut Lite cartridge. I had not noticed this cut when I first made stuff with this cartridge during the release in June. I think it is great for a sympathy card though!
 |
| I cut the flower at 3". |
 |
| I used SU! patterned paper. |
 |
| The ribbon and stamp is from Papertrey Ink. |
Thanks so much for stopping by today!! Make sure you check back in tomorrow because I have another sympathy card that I made with one of my favorite lite cartridges!!
Also, click on over to Joy's and my personal blogs. We still have lots more projects to show you using the new cartridges that were just released!

«Oldest ‹Older 1 – 200 of 240 Newer› Newest»This turned out lovely. These have got to be the hardest cards to make. Unfortanutly I will be making one this week. A guy I used to work with years ago, him and his son was killed in a car accident this weekend, so hard. His son would of been 20 years old today. I need to think of manly sympathy cards.

Very pretty card, I love it. TFS
Lovely card. I have trouble making sympathy cards so I'm thinking it would be good to make some up without an immediate need for them. TFS!
Thank you for the sympathy card. I find those difficult to make so the ideas will be wonderful.
Beautiful card. I still can't make sympathy cards...to hard for me.
This is just beautiful!
So very pretty. Thanks for sharing.
Not one of my favourite cards to make but you've made it look so easy. A lovely elegant card

Lovely card. I like how subdued the colors are.
Lovely card, just right. I do tend to opt out and buy sympathy cards because they are so hard. I guess the time to make them is before you are in grief...sigh...
What a lovely and thoughtful card.
Beautiful card.
This turned out beautiful. Hard cards to design. Thank you for sharing.

It's always a great idea to have sympathy cards ready made and on hand. This one is absolutely lovely. Will have to pick up this cart on my next trip to the States!!!!!! Thanks for all the wonderful projects!!!

Lovely sympathy card...good as feminine and masculine. Praying you are well~
sad occasion, but a beautiful card
What a lovely card...they are always such a struggle to make, thanks for the inspiration!

Great job with such a tough card to make.I am like everyone else. I have a hard time with sympathy cards. It is just so hard to know what to say. Before I got my cricut I made cards with creata card software they have some nice sayings and I still use it a lot for that.
Beautiful flower
Very nice.
Flowers seem so appropriate for sympathy, and this card is very nice. Thanks.
Elegant card with lovely SU! paper. The Lovely Floral Cartridge has some wonderful cuts on it.
Thank you for the inspiration. I will be making this one also. My best friend's grandmother passed away unexpectedly Saturday.
It is nice to see sympathy cards. We don't like to send them but handmade ones mean so much more in the recipients time of need. Thanks for a great card!
Very pretty card. Simpathy cards are always so difficult. It's much easier to make them ahead of when you actually need one as it can get pretty emotional on some!
Such pretty florals. The flourish designs just keep getting better!
These are hardest cards to make

Hardest cards to make but your card is so simple and sweet! Great job! JenBrierley2 at gmail dot com
Very pretty. Thanks for doing sympathy cards this week. These are always the hardest for me to do as mine always turn out way too cutesy. I can't wait to see what else to have in store this week.
Tfs and have a great day.
I think the blue colors go so well with the sympathy theme.
Nice card!
Verypretty card.
Love the card, it is very pretty.
Pretty cut. I need to make more sympathy cards.
Very nice card - we all need these from time to time so it's nice to get some ideas for them.
Lovely card. I agree with Debby, sympathy cards are the hardest to make.
Love the flower cut. TFS
Such a beautiful, yet simple card. Thank you for the inspiration.

Thanks for spending this week on sympathy cards. They are often needed and I have best intentions to make them but then don't. Thanks for the ideas especially simple ones as I don't want to take forever when I need one. What I really need to do is make up a bunch of these and have them ready
Such a sweet card, but can be used for many things if you change the wording.
Very nice card! Elegant and understated. But I also think that with a slight change to the colors and sentiment stamp, this could also be a bright cheery card. The cut is quite versitile. Thanks for sharing!
Shellee
Very simple and pretty. I make a lot of sympathy cards, really show the recipient your thoughts are with them. Look forward to what you can show us which is different and usually difficult to design.

Very nice card!
Very nice card Melanie. It's hard to come up with an appropriate card for each sympathy card. This one is great for almost any situation.
Very pretty and classic look to this card. I love it!
Very nice card - I agree with others, this is the hardest kind to put together. I try to do it when no one is sick or close to passing. That way it seems like just another card in my card box!
Blessings, Donna
This is a lovely card!
Thanks for doing sympathy cards. They are the hardest to make.

Hi Melanie, it's good to have you back. And thanks for the idea, I need a couple of these right now.
Very nice card. This morning my heart is heavy as I have been praying all night. Yesterday my friends 3 month old baby girl died suddenly. I will be making this type of card today. They are by far the hardest card to make.
Thank you

Beautiful card....great colors for a man, which are the hardest for me. TFS.
Unfortunately I need several sympathy cards myself so I am lookinmg forward to your week of ideas. Hard subject to 'think outside of the box'.

You never have enough of these on hand that's for sure
Lovely card, Melanie!

An elegant card. I alwways find sympathy-cards so hard to make. Most of the time I stumble over the colour.
Very nice card...I like the simple design and the colors.
Really pretty card. Sweet and simple. Thanks!
Lovely card! I agree with other posters that it is difficult to make a beautiful and appropriate sympathy card - this is both!

What a beautiful card!
What a lovely card! I have that cart, but haven't played with it much. TFS and inspiring me to look a that cart again!
Simply beautiful! I keep forgetting that one can make stunning cards with just a little cutting and folding.
A beautiful card for a very difficult time in someone's life.
This is a beautiful sympathy card. Thank you so much for making these types of cards your focus for the week; you're right, they are not fun cards to make but I think they could be some of the most important cards we ever make. It's hard to find inspiration for these cards &, most likely, when you're in the need of this type of card, this is when you'll need inspiration the most. Thanks for sharing with us!
This is a great card.
Helen from Flower Mound
This is so beautiful. I have to try to create a couple of sympathy cards because my soon to be sister in law's stepfather just passed away this morning. Thanks for the inspiration in this tough to tackle category!
It is a lovely card.

What a lovely card Melanie! I like the flower... and the colors are perfect! :o) It's a good thing you are doing this... I see a lot of posts where people are struggling with this type of card.... You are doing them all a favor with these ideas this week! :o)
Very pretty card, I haven't made a sympanthy card but I am sure it is not easy, but also sure it comes from the heart. JSharer417@aol.com
Very sweet. Even though it is a difficult topic to deal with, I appreciate the ideas to help cheer up loved ones.
This a very lovely symphathy card Melanie. I always find symphathy cards the hardest to make for the obvious reasons. But this one really is soft and soothing - exactly what you are trying to achieve. Great card. TFS.
Marcie
That's really pretty. Thanks for reminding us that each cartridge is filled with little treasures that are easy to overlook.
