Happy Monday everyone. In today’s video I share with you a tip on how to maximize your designer series paper and create two beautiful poinsettia cards for the holidays. Our designer series paper is so gorgeous I hate to waste any of it. I hope you enjoy today’s tip and cards.
Today’s gospel invites us to trust that Jesus will never forsake us. It is an invitation to a deeper belief in the resurrection, which is the foundation of our faith.
What sustains you in times of adversity? When you are facing difficulties in life or with your health, what gives you strength? For me it is prayer and the steadfast trust in the hope of our resurrection.
Jesus calls us to be people of hope. Try not to be discouraged by situations of this world, but rather fix your eyes on Jesus and trust in His divine love. Stay connected to God through prayer, in good times and in bad, and then when death comes it will not be the end of our connection with God.
So today, let us put our hope in God’s promise that He will never abandon us. Allow God’s love and grace to fill us with joy and trust that one day we will be united with our loved ones in heaven.

This is a pretty simple card so I don’t think it needs much explanation. I colored Santa’s hat and his cherry nose with Cherry Cobbler Stampin’ Blend markers . After layering Santa on the Cherry Cobbler circle, I attach him to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals . This little Santa and the ho ho ho are just a few of the stamps in this month’s kit. Come on, you have to admit, his is stinkin’ cute!

This past weekend my hubby and I took a drive to Kimmswick , MO which is a small town in Jefferson County. It is a short 45 minute drive and if you enjoy little craft and knick, knack shops, you might want to check it out. While the weather was absolutely gorgeous, all the trees have not turned yet. Next weekend, Kimmswick will be celebrating their Apple Butter Festival and I am thinking the trees will be just about perfect.
In honor of the fall and changing color of leaves, I thought I would share a two tree fall card I created using the Beauty of Friendship stamp set featured in the annual 2022-2023 catalog.

I began with a Cajun Craze card base and to the top of my card front added a layer of Pear Pizzazz, Cajun Craze and Basic White. The tress trunks are stamped with Early Espresso Ink, and the leaves with Pear Pizzazz and Cajun Craze.
I used the Blending Brush and some Pear Pizzazz ink to create the grass around the tree trunks and stamped the greeting in Early Espresso. The greeting and a piece of Pear Pizzazz CS are cropped using the Deckled Rectangles Dies.
