Sending thoughts and prayers by Jen Shults

 

Today I’m using an absolutely stunning new stamp set from Verve (available TODAY!) called Inspire Hope. This set has so many possibilities and is just so gorgeous. I started with a kraft cardbase and layered it with white cardstock and a bit of paper from the Doodlebug Kraft In Color paper pad. I built up a simple element cluster and used a sentiment and flower from Inspire Hope. The leaves are die cut with Sprightly Sprigs Die SetThis card went together VERY quickly and I love how it turned out. 🙂

  37. That sentiment is perfect and so encouraging. I can think of at least 3 people right now that I should send that card to. I love your choices of papers, layers, and the stitching is the perfect little touch to complete the card. I think of this as a “stacked” layout and I just love it!

    Lots to love here! Thanks for the inspiration!
