HOPE for the New Year 2026

"But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint."

Isaiah 40:31 

Happy New Year wishes to all! I was totally enamored with this card that Esther Asbury created as a variation on a typical card for the New Year. She grabbed a scripture verse from one of our graduation sets, which honestly, would not have occured to me; however, it offers the HOPE we all seek in any coming New Year. Combined with a lovely blue floral done up in a wintry theme, this card is a standout as a card for the coming New Year.

Our 2025 Year End Sale is in effect right now, so be sure to scroll to the bottom of this post to read the details.

A stunning combination of a floral, snowflakes, scripture and designer papers.

Winter Poinsettia Floral Cluster (floral)

Scripture for Graduation & Beyond (scripture)

Scribbly Snowflakes (die cut snowflakes)

Circle Dies (die cut circles)

Winter Time (designer paper)

Paper Doily from stash

Beautiful elements and elevation.

And note the 2 notches at the bottom.

Esther made this to fit into her Memorydex box.

It's a fabulous way to create beautiful scripture cards, store and keep them to flip thru for both scripture memorization and encouragement from the word as well as card inspiration.

Thanks for this very inspirational project for the New Year, Esther!
