I love hand-stamped sympathy cards. That may sound strange, but death happens every day and will affect each and every one of us numerous times during our own lifetimes. During a time of someone's grief, I think a hand-stamped card is one of the most appropriate expressions of love, care, and hope that can be offered.
Whether it's for a loved one or someone you know only casually yet wish to express your heartfelt condolences, a hand-stamped card is just right. Write a few sentences inside the card offering your deepest sympathies, and add a Bible verse. You may have a favorite one for this purpose or one that is especially meaningful to the person receiving the card. Psalm 23 is a favorite during times of loss, and its familiarity brings comfort while its timeless words of truth soothe a grieving soul. The words on this card, (one of two beautiful verses in the stamp set Close as a Memory), are so true. Earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot heal.

I was just talking with my cousin today and she mentioned getting a hand made card in the mail and the difference it made for her. She compared it to getting a store bought card and just said she felt like the person really went out of their way to actually make the card and it meant a lot to her. Great work, Candy!!!
