Feminine Coneflower Graduation

Graduation time is fast approaching for so many. Exciting times with so much to look forward to. Deb Saaranen is here today sharing this absolutely stunning grad card made for a girl in a fabulous purple with a lovely coneflower and inspiring words from scripture for the graduate. So pretty!  And although this is made with graduation in mind, I think it works wonderfully for other situations, too!!!

Praying for You - A Small Pocket Card

It's no secret that I love all things pretty when it comes to cardmaking, and Esther's praying for you card today is just that - so, so pretty - in a smaller size with fun inside pockets where she has tucked some lovely pullouts and heartfelt messages. She even created a fun little video which shows the card a bit better than still photos (all linked further down).

Also, today is Friday and our Product of the Week sale runs through Saturday only, so be sure to check that out at the end of this post as well.

This measures 3 x 6" and the base was made by folding a sheet of 6 x 6" designer paper in half.

To Every Thing There is a Season ...

 ... and a time to every purpose under the heavens.

Ecclesiastes 3:1

Today's lovely card comes from Deb Felts. It's a simple to make card meant to send encouraging  and uplifting words to the recipient. The scripture verse Deb used is a long time favorite of mine that I always find so calming and reassuring, no matter the situation. This is beautiful viewed as either feminine (with the bow) or masculine (without the bow).

This is such a lovely and vesatile set. The 2 stems can be used individually or layered one on top of the other for a variety of looks. The stems are long, allowing for more design options. Simply stamp off the paper if you need shorter stems. These stems work wonderfully for sympathy cards, masculine cards, general fall themes and any time a bit of simplicity is needed.

Scriptural Card and Bookmark

Good Monday morning on this Holy Week as we prepare for Easter Sunday. Karen Letchworth is sharing an elegant and gorgeous, though very simple to make, project with us where she created both a card and a coordinating bookmark to tuck inside, both using verses from scripture dealing with forgiveness and salvation, and isn't that what it's all about!

The stamped images and verses on Karen's project today are all contained in our NEW Product of the Week which is a trio of coordinated stamps that we refer to as our Good News Series, available this week only at 20% OFF!

There is so much to love here. Aside from the meaningful scripture verses and symbolism, this project uses minimal supplies and is a fairly quick make!
