Motivation Monday- Peace on Earth 9-22-25

For this weeks Motivation Monday, I wanted to create projects that bring both comfort and encouragement. Using Peace on Earth collection by Stampin' Up! I designed three beautiful cards all featuring calming shades of blue.

Blue is such a peaceful and versatile color. It can be bold and inspiring, or soft and soothing. I thought it was the perfect choice for today's cards, which carry a special meaning.

I hope these cards inspire you to pull out your supplies and create something meaningful this week. Remember...your creativity can bring joy and encouragement to someone who needs it most.

Happy Crafting!

Stampin' Up! Peace on Earth Card Sketch

Sometimes you just need to send a simple "hello" and let someone know that you are thinking of them.

This is a geat sketch to use when you want to show off your Designer paper.

For this card, I pulled in the Add-on from Paper Pumpkin this month. (see link below) I finished it off with Hues of Blue tiny floral embellishments.

Stampin' Up! Peace on Earth

Sympathy cards are never easy to create, but they are one of the most meaningful types of cards we can share.

Today's card is designed to bring a sense of peace and comfort during a difficult time.

The beautiful dove is a symbol of peace, serenity, and hope.

I mixed the soft blues together, to give it a calming presence, while a touch of glimmer adds just the right amount of gentle light to lift the spirits. .

This card is a reminder that even in times of sorrow, small gestures of kindness can bring comfort and healing.
