Pet Sympathy Set
Awhile ago a stamp company released a stamp set just for pet sympathy cards. I think it was within the last year or so. At the time I thought, "Gee, that's a specialty set." But now I've been asked to make sympathy cards for our Humane Society, can you believe it? So, guess I need that set.
Doest anyone remember what company made it? |
Is this the one you're looking for? stamps_withsympathy_lossofapet It's from Papertrey Ink.

I don't have the answer to you question, but - I do make sympathy cards for the veterinary oncologist where I work. Here are two samples of cards I have made for her. I don't have sentiments on the inside because she prefers them blank so she has the whole card to write in. Hope these help get you going on your sympathy cards:

Looking at your pretty cards, reflecting on their pupose brought tears to my eyes. I guess I have issues with this. Maybe that's why I was chosen to make these specific cards; I can certainly empathize! |
Ladies......Purrs and Pants also has several stamps especially for pet sympathy cards. They also have stamps for both dogs and cats that you could make into your own sympathy cards.
Check them out, the stamps are well made and deeply etched and the selections are terrific!!! Patti |

Thank you for posting all these!
I've used this stamp from Mark's Finest Papers for pet sympathy... Card for Callie by Understandblue - Cards and Paper Crafts at Splitcoaststampers |
That's a beautiful card Lydia. Very sad occasion.

These are all such wonderful cards and honestly, bring a tear to my eye. Reminds me of my pets that are over the rainbow bridge..... don't get me started. But anyway, a wonderful thing to send such cards to our friends. My good friend recently lost her beautiful golden so I sent her this card:
Doggie Love by CAKath - Cards and Paper Crafts at Splitcoaststampers This is not a pet sympathy set but I thought it worked. The dog image and sentiment is a current SU set. |
Wow, these are really great!!
I do a LOT of volunteer work with a dog rescue. The sad truth is that I need at least 3 cards a month for lost pets. I can't afford buying the sets, but I love collecting statements so I can change it up a bit. |

DRS Designs has several Pet Sympathy images and a couple of sympathy greetings just for pets.
These are two from my gallery that used just a couple of the images. Angel in the Clouds Missing Piece Hugs, Julie |
I like this pet sympathy sentiment set from Clear Dollar Stamps: Pet Sympathy Clear Acrylic Stamps, Other Occasions.
Also Pet Angels, from Clear Dollar Stamps: Pet Angels Clear Acrylic Stamps *Clearance, Clearance Here is a pet sympathy card I made with the sentiment set: pet sympathy {schlozb} by schlozb - Cards and Paper Crafts at Splitcoaststampers |
Someone left a comment on one of the cards I posted in this thread, saying they could not find the sympathy stamps at Purrs and Pants. Here is the link to their sympathy section: Sympathy
Also, if you click on Cat stamps 1, Dog stamps 1, 2, etc., there are tons of images there. Some would work for sympathy. This one, for instance, is a "Christmas" stamp that I made into a sympathy card: Sympathy card for a buff orange tabby by stamper1996 - Cards and Paper Crafts at Splitcoaststampers I like P&P stamps in that, you can color the pet to match the recipient's late pet. IME, people really find that extra thought touching. |

I got a really nice sympathy word stamp from Onyxexpression. They have such nice stamps.

I'm not sure if this is any help, but July last year I had to make my first Pet Sympathy card and had no particular Pet Sympathy sets, so as this was a girl cat that had passed away, I just stamped a cat but didn't colour it in - and added a With Sympathy sentiment that I had in my stash. Kept it very plain and very simple. If I needed to make another card for a dog or another animal, I would do one exactly the same - and I know that it would be easy to make quite a few of them if they were needed - and perhaps just change the cardstock to blue rather than the pink that I used.
Here is my card: Cat sympathy card If you didn't have any animal stamps, there are lots of free images of animals on the Internet that you could download. |
Michelle Perkett has a wonderful digi with both cat, and dog, and sentiments.
Here's the Link Karen S |
Jocelyn,
Your card is so lovely. Simple and elegant. Thanks for sharing Karen |
Another thread tonight had a link to Rubber Soul which is a new company to me. I found a couple of nice pet sentiments here:

I have so many thoughts running around in my head right now, because that stamp was not designed for a sympathy card, but goodness, it is perfect for such an occasion. (My mother passed away, and this was her favorite stamp....) |
I prefer to send animal sympathy cards using furry family member or by name rather than the word pet. Most people do consider their animals as family members or even their children.
I also appreciated the cards I received referring to my Goldens by name each time. My girls were my children and not just pets. Lastly, I prefer the images of realistic looking dogs of similar breed to who has passed. As has been said, Purrs and Pants does have all images so you can color them to match the situation and they are realistic not cartoon like. Patti |

What is sad, is that my mother just died at Christmas, and I loved her so very much, but I didn't cry but for a little bit after the hospital called to tell that morning.... I think pets, because they love unconditionally, are not critical, don't judge us, and NEVER try to hurt our feelings, are a bigger loss to us. Bless you. I hope you find peace very soon. |
Thank you Lydia and Faith!
We said we were not getting another dog as well, but shortly after we found out our dog was dying we saw a puppy we just had to have. I'm so glad we have our new puppy now and at the same time I know my other dog is at peace because she is not suffering anymore. Faith, I'm so sorry to hear that you recently lost your mother. I can't imagine how difficult that must have been. (((hugs))) |
Well can we see a picture? :)

Here's Bella! She is a Beabull puppy. Everyone asks me what is a Beabull?- it's a newer mixed breed. She is 1/2 Bealge and 1/2 english Bulldog. It was hard to get a good picture of her, she's an active puppy! |
HAHAH - OMG is THAT a cute combo!! I had to call the DH in here for that!!
What an adorable little creature. I hope she brings you tons of joy!! |

She's great with the kids and she's not too yippie (sp?) like Beagles can sometimes be so it's a nice mix and we are happy with her. |
