Blessed Beginnings

Monday, February 23, 2026

Today's card features the new BLESSED BEGINNINGS Bundle 

And although the front says "Thinking of you" I do have an Easter Greeting for the inside. 

Old Olive card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” on the long side
Balmy Blue card – 5⅛” by 3⅜”
Basic White card – 5” by 3¼”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” for the inside
Scrap Basic White card

You can use a Blending Brush to apply Balmy Blue ink to the smaller panel of Basic White card if you like, and the ‘ground’ was stamped with Crumb Cake ink.

The tree and a bush were stamped on the right-hand side of the panel using Basic Gray ink. The tree was colored with Granny Apple Green Stampin' Blends Pens and the bush with Old Olive Stampin' Blends Pens. The panel was then glued to the Balmy Blue layer and then to the Old Olive card base.

The church, 2 trees and 2 bushes were stamped on a scrap of Basic White card stock; then cut out using the Blessed Beginnings Dies.

The church was colored with the following Stampin' Blends Pens – Lemon Lolly, Crumb Cake and Gray Granite. The trees were colored same as those above. These were added to the card front with either glue or Dimensionals.

The sentiment was stamped using the Tractor & Co stamp set with Basic Gray ink onto scrap Basic White card, trimmed it down, flagged the ends and added it to the card front.

Note: This card is just a tad bit bigger than our standard 5-1/2" x 4-1/4" when finished so I supplied my stampers with a bit larger envelope that I found at our local craft store.

This card was Inspired by the talented  Mo Rootes from the UK

FOR EVERY ORDER PLACED IN FEBRUARY, I WILL PUT YOUR NAME INTO A DRAWING AND THE WINNER WILL RECEIVE THE BEAUTIFULLY CELEBRATED BUNDLE (A $53 VALUE)

I LOVE THESE DIES ESPECIALLY, AND THOSE CORNER DIES ARE SO PERFECT FOR CARD MAKING AND SCRAPBOOKING
