I hope you love this release as much as I do! Today I'm featuring the Jeremiah 33:3 Plain Jane, the Flared Cross Plain Jane, and the fabulous Cross Die Set. I stamped the Flared Cross PJ in Stampin' Up's Purely Pomegranate ink onto Papertrey Rustic White card stock, die-cut it using the coordinating cross from the Cross Die Set, and gave it a frame using Verve's Curvy Bookplate Die and a Spellbinders Fancy Tags die. I am going to love having dies to match the Flared Cross and Curvy Cross images! The Jeremiah 33:3 Plain Jane is stamped in Brushed Corduroy Distress Ink onto a pink gingham pattern from My Mind's Eye's Blush Lost & Found Two 6x6 paper pad. I used My Favorite Things dies for the rolled flower and the scallop border. Stitching, twine, and a small button and ribbon accent finish things off.



Enjoy the hop!

    Hi Amy! What a beautiful card! Love this cross and how you wrapped the twine around it. Could be great for a manly card too with a switch of colors. I'm so excited about the cross dies and how the curvy die works so well with this cross. Wonderful! This is such an inspirational card, love the scripture. Thanks so much!
