Sign Language Sentiments 2 Sympathy Card is what we have for you today. I have created more sympathy cards in the past two months that I care to for a life time. Sadly, one of my crafty friends husband’s passed away. I knew I was going to create a card for her and her family so I decided I would share how I did it. Creating sympathy cards are always difficult so I figured the more ideas we have the better, hoping we won’t have to create one any time soon if at all.

Take out your card base, quicker poker picker upper and your pearls. Place one large and two small pearls on the left side of your label.

*Side Note: I love this tool and I actually have a few of them! This is the Quik Kutz Quicker Picker Upper. It is a must have for all tool boxes!

Apply six foam rectangles to the back of the sentiment squares.

Peel off the side of the sentiment where the pearls will go. Place your pearl embellishments on. 

Add two foam rectangles to the other side of the square as shown to make up for the additional height from the pearl stem.

Apply additional adhesive on top of the pearl stems and foam rectangles to ensure proper adhesion.
