Todays card features two free products from the Sale-A-Brations catalog, the Hippest Hippos and the Hippo Dies. I began with a Balmy Blue card base and added a layer of Blushing Bride. I stamped the Hippos in Memento Black ink and colored them with our famous Watercolor pencils and used the Stampin’ Cut n Emboss machine to crop them with the Hippo Dies.
The umbrellas are also part of that die set and I used coordinating cardstock to make my Hippos pop. The greeting is from the new Cheerful Basket set featured in the 2022-2023 annual catalog.

Our last card in the Hello Harvest series is a little different and while it is still a very nice fall looking card was created with the non-traditional colors of fall. Well, some of the colors in the floral arrangement are with traditional colors, but I think adding the Pacific Blue create a more summertime look.
I am not sure how often I will be using this flora bouquet from the bundle, but it is pretty. I think it would make a really sweet Mother’s Day card or even Easter!

Hey all…..I am back today for more fantastic fall fun with our last fall card from this weeks Make It Monday video Tutorial, CLICK HEREfor my YouTube channel and check out my other videos.
I love the fancy look of these delicate vines and embossing details. While I chose to keep my card front clean and simple I am sure it would look great dry embossed with one of our embossing folders. Perhaps I will try that next time!
Happy Stamping! Be sure to stop back tomorrow for more crafting fun!

Hey friends I hope you are having a fantastic day. Here is card #2 from this week’s Make It Monday video tutorial on the Hello Harvest Bundle. CLICK HERE if you missed that post.
I may have cheated just a bit on this one and used the leaves from the Fond of Autumn Bundle! You have to admit, they pair nicely together.
Here is another card I created for you using this same bundle. I created the pumpkin the same way as in the video and decided to use the leaves from the stamp set. I stamped a variety of leaves using Old Olive, Cajun Craze and Pumpkin Pie ink. To get the lighter images, simply stamp off to create the second generation image.
It is difficult to see in this photo but the Pumpkin Pie leaf at the top and the Old Olive leaf overlapping the pumpkin is cut out with the leaf die. All the other leaves are stamped directly onto the cardstock. The greeting is stamped with Early Espresso ink.
Here is a close up look at these two Bundles! Now is a great time to add these bundles to your stamping stash and earn FREE Sale-a-bration products! Our current host code is 9FZ3JJVB.

In today’s gospel, Jesus honors a Samaritan by making him the hero of the story, not the priest or the Levite. Jesus was making a point about love and neighbor.
Love is action. In this parable, the law of love is written in the heart of a nameless Samarian man who through mercy shows compassion to someone in need. His compassion shows us how to love even when there is no personal gain. His action shows us that color and creed do not matter when someone is hurting. We become united in suffering and when we take the time to walk with someone in need, we too are blessed.
The unfortunate reality is that sometimes we don’t want to be bothered and other times we don’t recognize those who are in need. But when we allow the mercy of our Lord to penetrate our hearts, we are able to look beyond ourselves, open our spiritual eyes, and see others in need.
So who is our neighbor? Jesus illustrates it perfectly in this parable. Our neighbor is anyone in need, regardless of their ethnic, religious, or socio-economic status. Loving our neighbor is challenging and often involves sacrifice. Sometimes we even have to reject the fear and prejudice that resides in our own hearts in order to show God’s mercy. So maybe the better question is who will I be a neighbor to today?
Have mercy on me O God and help me to recognize those in need.
