Paper Pieced Holly Blessings

Good Friday morning! Hope everyone is full and happy with a pleasant holiday weekend before them. We know so many can not take time from work and if you are in that category we THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts for keeping this country running.

Deb Saaranen is here today sharing a lovely and easy to make Christmas card featuring what I believe is her favorite technique - paper piecing. It's fun, quick and easy, always yielding a beautiful and impressive result. Her blog is linked further down where she explains in detail how to paper piece.

Our Season of Thanks & Giving Sale is still in effect, also linked further down. 20% OFF the entire store, including already reduced items

So classic and simple. Very appealing!

And using only minimal supplies - we love that!

Give Thanks to the Lord...

for He is good. His love endures forever.

Psalm 136:1

We share one more fall themed card for the season with this lovely and simple to create country themed scripture card from Esther Asbury. She used our beautiful Autumn Silhouettes for the stamped focal image placed atop a country/vintage inspired backdrop of designer papers and crochet lace, topped off with a small button and baker's twine. Scripture stamped onto a simple circle sends the message of promise and hope. This is another card that is using just one stamp set - we love that!

Such a warm and homey feel for this Thanksgiving week!

This is the Day Bookmark

Making bookmarks is always fun. It's like giving a card, but only better as it is a gift that can be used for years to come. Add in that fabulous ribbon topper like Karen made today and it's a true treasure. Many of our stamp sets contain verses in an elongated shape, making them suitable for both cards and bookmarks. Karen worked hers into a gorgeous fall themed bookmark for this Thanksgiving Season and it just could not be any lovelier!

Take pause and enjoy for a minute or so!

Glory to God in the Highest...

 ... and on earth peace, goodwill toward men. Luke 2:14

What a wonderful scripture verse for a Christmas card. Karen Letchworth is with us today sharing this vintage inspired card with scripture featuring our Vintage Christmas background along with the lovely candle from Christmas Peace. She went for a chalkboard effect on the background, combining a variety of designer papers, all while still letting the red candle and tiny floral just POP on the card front.
