Marvelous Monday #45

Welcome to Monday.  It can be tough getting back into the swing of the things after the weekend.  This is the 45th in a series of blog posts called "Marvelous Monday".  Perhaps in a small way I can help make Monday's a little happier by sharing some crafting projects and also share some Scripture readings. 
Last week I shared some smaller 3"x4"cards using a product from Stampin Up called Memories & More. 
Here is the post from last week if you want to take a look what was shared:http://joyfulheartcreationsanddesigns.blogspot.com/2019/03/marvelous-monday-44.html
As I have mentioned before I use Stampin Up products for all my projects I share on my blog and on the projects I sell at my local Farmers Market. Stampin Up products have excellent color coordination and this gives me the confidence that everything will match. Here is a link to my online store if you would like to purchase products for your own projects:https://www.stampinup.com/ecweb/default.aspx
Today I'm sharing some larger cards using 4"x6" size. (if you would like to see the cards in more depth, simply double click the photo):


 

If you would like to create some cards yourself or if you would like to purchase some completed cards, feel free to leave a comment below or contact me at any time. My email is on the sidebar of this blog.
Today's Scripture Readings:
"I pray that out of His glorious riches He may strengthen you with power through His spirit in your inner being." Ephesians 3:16.
Next week I will begin sharing some Easter ideas.
May you have a "Marvelous Monday"

Marvelous Monday #44

Welcome to Monday.  It can be tough getting back into the swing of the things after the weekend.  This is the 44th in a series of blog posts called "Marvelous Monday".  Perhaps in a small way I can help make Monday's a little happier by sharing some crafting projects and also share some Scripture Readings. 
Today I would like to share some smaller 3"x4" cards and envelopes from a product called "Memories & More" from Stampin Up. The color coordination of Stampin Up products is superb and this gives me the confidence to know that everything will match.
  I'm sharing a link to my online store if you would like to purchase some of the products that I feature here on my blog. https://www.stampinup.com/ecweb/default.aspx
Using the Night of Navy Memories & More card bases https://www.stampinup.com/ecweb/product/148806/happiness-blooms-memories-and-more-cards-and-envelopes  I simply used the 3"x4 https://www.stampinup.com/ecweb/product/148531/happiness-blooms-memories-and-more-card-packcards that came in the card pack, along with the coordinating stickers and  to create some  super cute cards quickly. Notice also the striped lined envelops as well. This also adds some fun to the cards. The sentiments  on the cards are "Just a Little Note", "A job well done!", "Let's party!", "Thank you", "Best wishes", and "I'm here for you". I hope you like the cards featured today.

Next week I will share some additional cards from this card pack. The cards will be larger-4"x6".
Today's Scripture Reading:
"May the favor of the Lord or God rest on us, establish the work of our hands for us-yes, establish the work of our hands." Psalm 90:17
May you have a "Marvelous Monday".
