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.

Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the rest of your weekend!

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."

As mentioned above, Happy Iris is on sale this week! Last day of the sale is 2/21/26!

 Have a wonderful weekend; thanks for stopping by!

 

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.

Stamp Simply is having a Valentine Sale, running now! 

I also wanted to invite you to an Instagram hop that I will be participating in on Fridays at 5 PM. It involves a small group of crafters that post Faith themed projects to share every Friday. I'm excited to join in! Check out my IG page here.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Prayer with Greenery

Happy Friday! So good to have the weekend arriving! Winter has been getting a bit long with dreary skies and snow almost daily. 

A bit of greenery for Spring on my card for today featuring Stamp Simply's Prayer Word die and Lord's Prayer stamp set. Also, some pretty decorator paper from the Stamp Simply's Product of the Week sale that is about to end.

I layered up a decorator sheet from Craft Consortium's lovely Bloom and Wild with green cardstock for the easy base of my card. The sentiment is Stamp Simply's Prayer Word die, cut from four layers of cardstock, adding tons of dimension making it stand out.

The inside of the card is stamped with a sentiment from Stamp Simply's Lord's Prayer stamp set, inked with Versafine Clair Nocturne ink.

All linked product is from Stamp Simply.

Be certain to check out the Product of the Week Sale; as mentioned above it features all 6 x 6" decorator paper pads on sale! Sale ends on February 7! 

Have a wonderful weekend!

 

Eucalyptus Blessings

 

Hello! I have a quick to make and easy to mail card for you today. It features Stamp Simply's Eucalyptus Silhouettes stamp and die sets as well as their Blessings die.

The background is made up with textured cardstock with the top panel being embossed with a swiss dot embossing folder. I love adding a bit of texture to a simple card!

I stamped the eucalyptus stems onto white cardstock with some Tim Holtz Ranger oxide ink, then die cut them with the Eucalyptus Silhouette dies.

I diecut the Blessings die three times out of white cardstock, then glued all three diecut pieces together for added dimension.

Simple and quick!
