Can you imagine stamping all of those individual trees to make this forest background? I can’t either! Lucky for us we don’t have to! Use the Fragrant Forest background stamp with Shaded Spruce ink and this becomes a Quick & Easy card! My fave.
You’ll never have to wing it with the Winter Owls bundle (available while supplies last)! You can build your own woodland scene with detailed owl stamps and nature pieces that you can easily cut out with the coordinating dies. You can stamp and die cut plain paper and then add your own color or use some of our Designer Series Paper for unique patterns and textures. Use these stamps in the summer or winter and explore the many possibilities for creating a memorable paper craft.

Joy! Shouldn’t we all be striving for joy? Joy for ourselves. Joy for others. This simple, stunning card made me think of Joy in the Morning, a beautiful worship song by Tauren Wells. Here’s the first verse:
Everything happens for a reason, but you don’t know what you don’t know And you’ll never have peace if you don’t let go of tomorrow ‘Cause it ain’t even faith till your plan falls apart but you still choose to follow, uh If it doesn’t make sense right now, it will when it’s over
[Chorus] There will be joy in the morning There will be joy in the morning
