Hope and Joy Napkin Cards

Happy Sunday and welcome!  I hope you all had a wonderful weekend and if you're in the US, hope your Thanksgiving holiday was a happy one!  I had a little time to play today and am working on gift packs of cards these days.

For this pack of cards, I used a package of napkins I bought at the Dollar Tree for, you guessed it - $1.  You can see the napkin on the left in the picture above.

And I also used two new dies from Simon Says Stamp - their Hope and their Joy wafer thin dies.  These were in the newest kit, but to save money, I got just both dies and not the kit.  

I really liked the napkin pattern and originally bought it with the idea of using it in Bible journaling, which is something I recently started doing.  (I'm not very good at it, but I have enjoyed the pages I've done so far.  I hope to learn from all the talented people in blog land and when I'm brave enough, I will share some pages on my blog!)

Anyway, I took one napkin and split it away from the backing and adhered parts of it to card stock to use for cards.  Some I cut with an MFT stitched rectangle die, the word dies, and for a few smaller scraps of the napkin I used some smaller stitched dies from my stash.  I also cut the word dies from ivory and black card stock from Gina K Designs.  

There are a lot of pictures of these cards below - as I was able to make 6 from one napkin!

Here they are:

Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope your next week will be a wonderful one.  Try to enjoy the season and not stress over all the things you have to do in this busy time of year!
