I believe that everyone needs a little hope now and then. The Hope and Prayer stamp set featured in the 2023 Annual catalog is perfect for sending a little hope in the mail. I hope my card today brings a ray of hope to you today. I am a firm believer that there is always room for hope, so if you are having one of those days, I hope my card cheers you up just a bit.

I began with a Basic White cardstock and added a layer of Sun Prints Designer Series paper. The first layer measures 4 x 5 -1/4 and the smaller layer measures 2-1/2 x 4 and is backed with a 2-5/8 x 4-1/8 panel of Basic White cardstock. The greeting is stamped in Night of Navy on a Basic White panel (1-3/4 x 2-3/4).

This adorable Easter Bunny set does not have to wait for Easter. I created this fun card for a very dear friend of mine who is recovering from surgery. I thought this sweet little bunny would bring a smile to her face and hopefully make her feel a little better. I used the Easter Bunny set and the Deckled Rectangle Dies.

I stamped the carrot with Old Olive ink and colored it using our blender pens, the Old Olive and Pumpkin Pie inks. I used an X-acato knife to cut a slit to slide the carrot into his hands. I stamped the bunny with Memento Black ink on white and only colored his ears and his paws in pink. The greeting is also stamped with Memento Black ink.

After our hearts blog hop on Wednesday I decided to give the Heart Punch pack another try. Sometimes when an idea in my head looks totally different on paper, I turn to one of my favorite things, our fabulous designer series paper packs. After all it is really hard to mess up a card with all our wonderful pattern choices.
Today I combined the Dainty Flowers DSP pack and the Hues of Happiness paper pack and I have to admit, I am not disappointed. I love how the colors in these two papers come together to make a super simple sympathy card. While sending sympathy cards is never on my favorite list, creating cards with love is.

Today, I am featuring one of those perfect partners, Apple Harvest stamp set meets Apple Blossoms dies. These dies coordinate with the images in the stamp set and have additional dies to embellish your cards.

Today’s card features two sets that are retiring, Back on Your Feet and Positive Thoughts. Don’t wait until the last day, remember products are while supplies last.
I love using our watercolor pencils to add color to so many of our stamp sets so today I choose to highlight the Sloth. I stamped the greenery from Positive Thoughts in Shaded Spruce directly to a 3½ x 4½ panel of white CS. On a piece of white scrap I stamped the sloth in Memento Black ink, colored him with the watercolor pencils and fussy cut him with my paper snips.
I love the way it looks like he is hanging from the vines. I stamped the greeting in Memento black ink and mounted the white panel to a 3¾ x 5 piece of Early Espresso CS, then mounted it to my Shades Spruce card.
This was a fast and relatively easy card, if you minus the fussy cutting. I personally love to fussy cut, but I know many of you are not fans. Coloring is another thing that I love, so yes, that might be a stumbling block for some, but for those of you who love to color, have fun!
Join me again tomorrow for another retiring favorite. If you missed the retiring list, click on the button below to download the pdf.

I hope you have been having fun with the new Simply Marbleous Designer Series Paper in the Sale-A-Bration catalog. It really is spectacular. Today’s cards is a clean and simple, quick and easy card using this fancy paper that is FREE with a $50 order.
Simply Marbleous DSP FREE w/$50 order
This 6×6 paper pack has great colors like Balmy Blue, Basic Gray, Blushing Bride, Bumblebee, Costal Cabana, Flirty Flamingo, Gorgeous Grape, Highland Heather, Misty Moonlight, Pool Party, Smoky Slate and So Saffron. This 6 x 6 paper pack makes creating clean and simple cards a snap. The paper does the heavy lifting because all I did was layer it to a piece of Basic Black cardstock and then mounted in on a Bermuda Bay card.
I used the Stamparatus to add the greeting directly to the Simply Marbleous DSP. The greeting is from the Artfully Layered stamp set and is stamped in Memento Black ink. Just like that I created this card in less than three minutes.
