We Love ...

 ... because He first loved us.

And that is reason to celebrate each and every day!

Winter Scene Birthday Card

Good morning to all! It's still winter here in the northwoods with a long while yet until spring hits, so let us revel in a beautiful winter scene, which is quite similar to looking out my window. Deb Felts created this birthday card for a special man in her life. I'm sure he will love it. But what pleases me immensely is that this card works just as well for a woman, as who doesn't love a beautiful snowy white winter scene.

And note that our Storewide Valentine Sale is in effect thru Saturday with all the details towards the end of this post, so be sure to check it out!

Isn't this just stunning with the window opening on the card front.

Country Church (die cut hills and treees)

Christmas Stockings & Mittens (die cut snowflake)

Holiday Greens Mini (die cut greenery)

Circle Die (for window opening)

Happy Day Iris (stamped sentiment)

Winter Time (checked paper)

Over the Rainbow (blue sky paper)

Such a lovely winter feel!

Note how one "hill" is on the card front while the other "hill" is on the card inside, shown best on the 1st photo provided.

And this is the inside when the card is fully opened.

Happy Day Iris (stamped sentiment)

Thanks so much, Deb, for this gorgeous snowy wintertime card.

Tea Card Set

I absolutely love coordinated sets of cards. They are fun to make and always an appreciated gift. A set of 3 or 4 cards makes a lovely and thoughtful gift or is a perfect way to increase your own stash. Esther Asbury is with us today sharing this gorgeous set of 4 tea cards that anyone would be thrilled to receive. She shows us many color options and includes all measurements as well.

And note that our Storewide Valentine Sale in ongoing, with all the details at the end of this post.

These lovely tea cards are made up in 4 color options.

Coffee or Tea? (die cut cup and tea sentiment)

A Godly Man (stamped sentiment)

Doily (embossing folder on tea cup)

Bloom & Wild (floral designer paper)

And this is the beautifully coordinated inside.

Floral Cluster Summer Roses (stamped rose corners)

Fear Not (scripture verse)

Crochet (die cut lace strip)

And this is a quick visual that Esther provided with all the measurements to take the guess work out of it for you.

Thank you so much, Esther, for this over-the-top set of cards.

So inspirational!

Holding You Up in Prayer

Today we share a lovely and easy to make card offering prayers from Deb Saaranen. Today is also the LAST DAY of our 30% OFF sale on all 6x6 paper pads, so be sure to check that out at the end of this post as well.

We love to rely on beautiful paper to create quick and easy cards, as Deb did today. She pulled a gorgeous sheet of paper and used it as the backdrop of her card which, in a way, is also the focal point of the card. She added one die cut sentiment on the card front and in short order had a beautiful card.

Deb cuts the sentiment multiple times and stacks for maximum impact.

Prayer Word Die (prayer)

Bloom & Wild (paper) - 30% OFF WITH CODE!

Deb added the perfect sentiment on the inside!

The Lord's Prayer (sentiment)

Thanks so much, Deb, for this lovely, easy to make and impactful card.

His Mercies Are New Every Morning

We have a lovely card to share today in a fun farmhouse theme, personalized on the inside to the recipient. Actually, we have 2 different inside options and both are equally as lovely. Deb Felts created the card we share today and her creativity spilled over into this project, full throttle, from the lovely sunrise on the front to the surprise on the inside!

And remember, our 30% OFF paper sale is still going, through Saturday only, so check all those details out further down. 

I love the sunrise Deb created with a circle and paper cut into strips for rays.

Farmhouse Signage (animals) - 35% OFF!

Farmhouse Scriptural Thoughts (sentiment)

Fishtail Sentiment Banners (animal strip)

Test of Time (upper paper) - 30% OFF WITH CODE!

Wood Textures (lower barnboard paper) - 30% OFF WITH CODE!

Retro Summer (paper for sun/strip) - 30% OFF WITH CODE!

Seam Binding and button from stash

Here's a closer look at that lovely sunrise Deb created.

And this is the standard option for the inside.

Retro Summer (background paper)

Farmhouse Simple Sentiments (sentiment)

Farmhouse Signage (heart) - 35% OFF!

And this is Deb's second option for the inside.

This card was made for a lady who raises sheep and from whom Deb buys her fleece, so she wanted to add the sheep - how fun!

Deb created this sweet little lamb using punches and dies, as follows:

Scallop die or punch for body

Oval dies or punch for face and cut in 1/2 for ears

Fishtail Sentiment Banners for legs/hooves

Country Church Die using both cloud shapes for topknot

Welcome Baby Basics Die for tiny flower on topknot

1/4" Silk for bow

White acrylic paint for eyes

What a fun project, Deb. Thank you so much!
