Born this Day...

Hello! It's Monika here today, bringing you couple of Christmas cards. 

There was a one-layer card challenge at SplitCoast Stampers the other day, so I decided to play along. Those are the hardest for me, since I like to add some layers... 

So here is what I came up with, using Born this Day clear stamp set:

... and I made a slightly different version of it, using the coordinating Manger Die set along with Hearts & Stars Scallop Border Die set:

The blue cloth is brushed with Wink of Stella glitter pen and the sheep is covered with White Fun Flock. 

Thanks for stopping by,

Monika

Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps March Sneak Peek

Hello sweet friends!
It's time for a Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps March Sneak Peek (you're going to love this fabulous release)!
It's chock-a-block full of fun trendy stamping love!  And the design team has been busy creating beautiful samples to chase away those winter blues (pleeeease)!    Let's share a cup of coffee while I tell you what inspired me to create today's sneak peek card sample.

I love Holley Gerth's inspirational blog ~ writer, author, and counselor, Holley,  encourages me each day with words that are just spot on.  She speaks my language!   She reaches out with words that draw me in and wrap me with love and acceptance ~ no matter what kind of day I've had, or am having.     The Father gives us "living water" to keep us nourished and hydrated so that we may in turn pour out his love to others when the holy spirit speaks to our hearts.  A river of living water where grace and mercy abound.

Do you know of anyone who could use a cup of encouragement today?    It may be your visit or phone call that makes all the difference, and refills the heart of another.   May the words of our mouths be as living water, filled up and poured out to the glory of God.

"He who believes in Me, as the scripture has said, 

out of his heart will flow rivers of living water."   John 7:38

Thanks a Latte!

I'll see you back here on Saturday for the Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps March Release Blog Hop!

Blessings,
