Simple Stories Faith Collection

Today I'm sharing some inspirational cards featuring the Simple Stories Faith Collection. This collection is a beautiful mix of florals and prints in bright colors with navy accents for lots of contrast.

The collection is appropriately named “Faith” because religious sentiments are mixed throughout the different elements available in the collection like this bible verse that you can find in the Bits and Pieces die cut pack. What a great way to encourage and inspire, or maybe just remind someone of how blessed they really are.

I thought these die cut plants were perfect with the sentiment – a reminder to have faith and trust in God. The butterfly to me represents “letting go” and letting Christ lead the way.

I added a strip of navy pattern paper under the pots to keep them grounded and added some yellow enamel dots for a sprinkle of extra color.

Sometimes we’re looking for answers, things happen in life that we don’t understand. It’s important to have faith.

This card started with pretty papers from the Faith Collection. For my focal point I added a 3x4” SN@P! Journaling card and topped it with some circles I cut from the 6x8 Paper Pad.

I added lots of embellishments like a pretty chipboard flower.

An epoxy metal clip and some enamel dots shine like candy!

This little butterfly is from the Combo Sticker that is in the 12” Collection or sold separately. I dusted it with baby powder to remove some of the tackiness before adhering it with adhesive foam tape for dimension.
