Condolences
When someone dies, it is always a difficult time for loved ones and other people involved. It can be very comforting for them to receive a personal sympathy card. At Vaessen Creative you’ll find an extensive range on the theme of sympathy and condolences, from stylish scrapbook paper and embossing stencils with powerful symbols to a variety of materials your customers can use to make cards. A number of materials are also great to use for other occasions. And because a death is always a very personal event, we offer a large selection of styles, so that your customers will have a wide choice. View our product range to find inspiration.
When it’s hard to find the words
In the world of funerals, we see that burials and cremations are becoming increasingly personalized. In that situation, isn’t it a nice gesture to make an equally personal sympathy card? One of the most important parts of such a card is a personal message. At Vaessen Creative you’ll find various texts to incorporate into your cards. For example, our collection includes a number of cutting dies from Crealies. The collection Tekst & Zo has both standard texts and inspirational messages. There are also texts on stamps, which your customers can use to create attractive effects, for example by working with several colors of ink. With transparent clear stamps, your customers can place the message in exactly the right position.
Sometimes, a picture says more than 1000 words
Sometimes words are hardly needed to convey a personal message. An appropriate picture can at times provide even more comfort or even inspiration to a bereaved person. One example is Vaessen Creative’s own-brand paper collection with atmospheric photos on themes from nature, such as a sunset or floral details, as well as a candle, folded hands or a grieving angel. In a workshop you can teach your customers how to combine these images tastefully with text, using different techniques such as embossing or various stamping techniques.
Choose a powerful symbol
Just as a message or an image can offer comfort and inspiration, so too can a symbol. For Christians, the cross can be such a symbol, giving people strength. Therefore, our assortment includes various embossing folders and stencils featuring the cross as their main theme. Combining such an image with a single word creates a powerful message from which the recipient can draw inspiration and comfort. The collection from Jolee’s Boutique also has various sticker sheets featuring the cross in many different styles.
Create your own packs
Sympathy is a theme that lends itself extremely well to creating complete packs, which your customers can use to make a personalized sympathy card. You can combine a blank card, a template, a stamp and ink or put together text stamps with background paper of your choice, for example with flowers. During a workshop you can teach your customers how free they can be in creating an appropriate personal message for a challenging occasion such as a death. Be inspired by the collection from Vaessen Creative and make your own assortment complete for all your customers!
