Let's celebrate His love today!

Happy Valentine's day! On a day like today I want to take a moment to meditate on my God's faithful and unconditional love, a love that never fails, a love that sustains every other kind of love there is in this world. His mercy sustains me day and night, keeps me grounded during trying times and is with me throughout my sleepless nights. Today most of all I want to celebrate His love for me!

I am sharing a card I showed briefly a few days ago, together with it's supplies. I must admit this card ended up looking very lovely, especially because of the color palette I worked with. One of my cardmaking weaknesses is pink and in this case combining it with beige linen cardstock and a bit of distressing to darken the edges made the color stand out in a very organic way.


I decided to create a doily frame using Cheery Lynn Designs English Tea Party die and embellished it with handmade flowers created with the new Botanical Rose and Botanical Wings by Heartfelt Creations.

I love how the doily frame makes this card look. I think it gives the card lots of texture. This particular doily die cut looks so much like real doilies!

I enjoyed making this card very much, and I hope I have inspired you too! All the supplies used to make this card are linked below. I wish you all a blessed weekend surrounded by your loved ones.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

I'd like to share my card with:

Video Tutorial: Quick New Year's Card with Simple Stories & Deco Foil

I'm back with a fun and really easy to make card for the Holidays or the New Year and I have a video tutorial with Therm O Web today. I'm sure we all are rushing at the very last minute looking for tags and cards and wrapping gifts... I know I always am. That is why my latest Holiday projects have been on the quick and easy side so you can try them out if you need to! The usual theme for New Year's cards is usually monochromatic, metallic...
