Inspirational Messages


Inspirational messages lift up one's spirit and bring encouragement into our lives. Just reading these messages while making cards set my mood and inspiration swinging high! Messages in these cards read: God gives the best to those who leave the choice to Him; This is the day the Lord has made. Let us rejoice and be glad in it!; Love bears all things with gentleness and understanding.

Plain notes and messages can be transformed into fabulous cards by dressing up with embellished cut out shapes. I bought these inspirational messages from a Christian bookstore. Small cards take as much time to make as bigger cards but they make such sweet cards - lots of goodness packed in small size - like me! :) lol!!!!!
Messages in these cards: Our life is a gift from God. What we do with that life is our gift to God; Lord, help us to find our way through the changes in our lives; Count your blessings not your worries; God bless you today and always.

He is my peace.

It's the small acts of kindness that so greatly touch our lives.

God knows when our hearts need encouragement. "Cast all your anxiety on him because He cares for you." 1 peter 5:7

"I can do everything through Christ who gives me strength." Philippians 4:13
When I count my blessings I thank God for giving me you.
Trust in the Lord with all your heart.

May God's love enfold you. May God's peace surround you. May God's light touch you.
"I will be glad and rejoice in you; I will sing praise to your name O Most High" Psalm 9:2
Good friends like you make all the difference. May God bless and keep you always.

"Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights..."James 1:17
God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change...courage to change the things I can and wisdom to know the difference.

Adorable ladybugs


Little cards with decorated window and frame and left blank for notes.

Insect die shapes such as these adorable ladybugs are one of my favorite shapes to make cards out with. Cut out pieces from your favorite flower shapes, emboss white paper for background and dig out some leftover scraps of papers and assemble them...

Taaaa...daaa....I love these cards! There is plenty of space for messages when ready to give out.



Buttons make great embellishments.
