How do you make elegant handmade sympathy cards that don’t take much time? I use die cuts from neutral cardstock colors. You just have to see how I made these sympathy cards because words don’t do them justice!
Here is a list of some current dies that work really great with this layout:
- Potted Succulents #154330
- Two-Tone Flora #159181
- Grove Dies #157844
- Organic Beauty Dies #158983
- Artisan Additions Dies #159172
Handmade Sympathy Cards Video Tutorial
When it comes to sympathy cards you can keep it simple while still making an elegant card. I tend to stick with earth tones or neutral colors and then use my larger dies to cut out a panel in the same color as my card base. You get the intricate die cut on top of the card base–quick and beautiful!
⭐️ Do you have some detailed dies that need some love? Give this card a try as a handmade sympathy card or for some other occasion. It’s really super easy!

These are the most elegant sympathy cards I recall ever seeing. Thank you for your easy instructions.
Sympathy cards are always very difficult to create, conveying a caring message on these sad occasions can be a little intimidating.
Your cards are a beautiful example of how to create these kinds of cards in a tasteful and caring way, thank you for sharing.
Stay healthy and safe.
