Hi, my name is Kelly Matera, and I am the founder of Pushing Up Daisies Cards. Years ago, I had suddenly lost someone very dear to me. It took me a long time to adjust to the pain, especially on special holidays. I thought if I placed a greeting card at the headstone, it would make me feel better. I created one for his birthday, and for the first time, I didn't feel so alone. I decided to start making cards to help others express their continuing love for their passing beloveds.
You can easily display the closed card with the provided wooden stand...this will keep your personal written message between you and your beloved. Plus, take home the flower seeded perforated bottom strip to plant, with hopes of a flower to bloom, as a memory of your loved one.
This is how Pushing Up Daisies Cards ® came to bloom.
You don’t feel so empty leaving the cemetery…The pain is not as deep.
