Happy Springtime Bunny

Today's card features a pretty milk chocolate colored bunny with a wish for a Happy Easter. Stamp Simply's Easter is for Jesus stamp and die sets are the focus on this card. Easter is not about bunnies and eggs for me, but about Jesus Christ's death on the cross and resurrection. So let's call this a springtime bunny.

I stamped the bunny with Memento Tuxedo ink, then colored it with Copic Sketch Markers. I then die cut it with the die.

The background is layers of festive spring papers by Echo Park--Welcome Easter. I'm uncertain if it is still available anywhere. 

The Happy Easter sentiment from the Easter is for Jesus stamp set is stamped directly onto the layered background with Versafine Clair Nocturne ink. A border of pink gingham ribbon adds extra interest.

Thanks for stopping by. I will have another post go live today at 5 PM promoting the Friends in Faith Instagram hop. 

 

Grace

 

Hello and Welcome! I have a card that is filled with dimension and focuses on God's Grace this week. It features Stamp Simply's Grace stamp set along with their Crosses die set. Here are the details...

I began with a base covered with Craft Consortium Tell the Bees decorator paper. The Bible die is an old Spellbinder Labels Seven die, cut out three times and layered to resemble a book. I inked the edges with Delicata Copper ink to mimic gilded pages. I stamped the verse from the Grace stamp set directly onto the page with Versafine Clair Nocturne ink. 

The other side of the Bible has a cross from the Stamp Simply Crosses die set, cut from Craft Consortium Scorched Wood Textured decorator paper. I cut an additional cross from cardstock and glued the two together to give it extra heft. A piece of grosgrain ribbon acts as a Bible book mark.

The dimension is hard to see in the photos...the Bible is adhered with glue down the center seam to attach it to the background, but popped up with pop dots on the edges so that the pages are lifted up. 

Stamp Simply's product of the week are two fabulous sets perfect for this time of year. Easter and He Has Risen have beautiful fonts with precious verses and sentiments. Be sure to check them out!

Have a wonderful weekend!

Praying for You Daisy

Hello! I have a quick clean and simple card for you today featuring a card that I made for today's My Favorite Hop on Instagram.

We were to choose a card to case from either 2026 or 2025's lineup of My Favorite Hop designs. You can see my card along with the card that I cased at #myfavoritehop2026.

Here are the details: the bloom is Simon Says Stamp Tattered Daisy die, watercolored with Daniel Smith watercolors. The textured border panel is Spellbinder's Woven Lattice Texture die. The sentiment is from Stamp Simply's Blessings/Beatitudes Set Two stamp set, stamped with Archival Pebble Beach ink.

Fun to make and easy to mail.

Have a wonderful Sunday!

Taste and See that the LORD is Good

 

Hi once again on this sunny Friday. As mentioned in my earlier post I will be participating in a couple of Instagram Hops...today is the Friends in Faith Hop at Instagram: Our focus is on John 6:35.

My card is built with products from Stamp Simply. I've used their Blessings/Beatitudes Set One for the Bible verse, along with their Autumn Blessings stamp and die sets for the wheat sheaf.

The stamping is done with Archival Pebble Beach ink onto a rustic cream cardstock. The decorator paper is Craft Consortium's Ink Drop Monochrome. I used a Spellbinder Narrow Oval die to cut the sentiment panel.

All linked supplies are from Stamp Simply.

Baby Card

 

Welcome! I have a sweet baby card for you today featuring Stamp Simply products...including a sentiment from their Product of the Week...All Occasion Sentiments! 

This is a 5 x 7" card for a sweet little one just having arrived at our church. The base is made up of watercolor paper which I love to use as it gives such a rich feeling. Nice and thick. However, it is difficult to photo! The card base looks very yellow in the pics, but is actually a cream.

The dear little baby outfit is from Stamp Simply's Welcome Baby Basics steel die set. This set has so many cute add ons...I settled today for the onesie and bib. Such a great way to make a quick baby card! The decorator paper is Echo Park It's a Girl paper, no longer available at Stamp Simply. Here are the papers that are available.

The All Occasions Sentiments Set One "Welcome Baby" sentiment is stamped directly onto the card base using Archival Pebble Beach ink. 

The inside sentiment is from Stamp Simply's Welcome Baby stamp set, also stamped with the Archival ink. 

All linked products are from Stamp Simply.

And, as mentioned above...here is the Product of the Week for this week, available for a couple more days.

These two sets are absolute favorites of mine; I love the fonts and the great coverage of so many holidays and events. They work wonderfully with the Stamp Simply Fishtail Sentiment Banner dies as well!

Thanks so much for checking in! I'll have a couple of more cards this weekend that will also be featured in two Instagram Hops: Friends in Faith Hop, Friday, 5 PM EST; My Favorite Hop on Sunday, 12 Noon EST.  Have a great weekend!

Iris Blooms with John 3:16

A soft and subtle floral design with a special Bible verse!

Stamp Simply's Happy Day Iris stamp and die sets shine here along with their Salvation stamp set. And bonus: Happy Day Iris stamps and dies are the Product of the Week over at Stamp Simply-- 25% off! 

About the card: The base and background of the card are soft seafoam green, embossed with the use of Tim Holtz' Layering Gothic stencil. I dabbed Versafine Versamark ink through the stencil and then heat embossed with white embossing powder.

The Happy Iris was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink, then colored it with Copic Sketch markers. The image was then die cut with the Happy Iris die and popped up onto the embossed background. 

John 3:16 from the Stamp Simply Salvation stamp set was stamped directly onto the background using Versafine Clair Nocturne ink. One of my favorite Bible verses...the "gospel in a nutshell."

Valentine's Day

 Valentine's Day is tomorrow and I wanted to share an easy to make and mail card design featuring Stamp Simply's Farmhouse Scriptural Quotes clear stamp set, Stamp Simply Pierced Nested Heart dies, and decorator paper.

The base of the card is made up of layers of Echo Park Love Notes decorator paper. The Stamp Simply Farmhouse Scriptural Quote Bible verse is stamped directly onto the background paper using Versafine Clair Nocturne ink.

The sweet pierced hearts are from the Farmhouse Pierced Nested Heart dies. The die set contains three different sized hearts, all with a pretty pierced border. All three sizes are shown on this card. The hearts are also die cut from the Love Notes paper. 

All linked supplies are from Stamp Simply.
