You’re In My Thoughts Quick and Easy Cards

I’ve made a few of these alternatives to the usual sympathy sentiment, You’re In My Thoughts Quick and Easy Cards. These are also a great way to show that you are still aware of someone’s loss.

Jan Unger has a wonderful Bereavement Program in her church that covers everything from the first missed birthday, to the missed wedding anniversary and the one year mark. It is the most supportive ministry I can think of! And she remembers everyone with such love and caring!

I’ve used Petal Pink, Soft Sea Foam, and Sahara Sand inks with the same First Frost stamp set I’ve focused on this month.

Leave me a comment and tell me if you might include these You’re In My Thoughts Quick and Easy Cards in your own Card Ministry!

Going out to my email subscribers, I’m giving a few hints to make these 4 Cards in 30 Minutes. Sympathy cards don’t even need sentiments on the front of the card, so I made these very quiet, and possible for many occasions. If you’re already a customer of mine, you’ve been given access to an…

  Thank you Jan! Me, too, actually. I’m wanting quiet and calm to frame the words I write inside myself.
