Welcome to the #spreadjoynotgerms blog hop! This is a hop all about spreading cheer and encouragement and also a call to send those cards out that you are making (note to myself: SEND those cards!). There are 31 sponsors and over 150 bloggers participating in this event! If you are following along on the hop you should have come from Carly Tee Minner's blog. If you would like to start at the beginning, check out Catherine Pooler's blog post who is also a sponsor of this event! Thanks also goes out to Hedgehog Hollow who helped Catherine organize this event!
For this card I created my own patterned paper. I used one of my favorite Catherine Pooler stamps sets to create the cherry piece! The stamps are from the Whimsical Blooms Stamps Set and it was easy to stamp this piece quickly since the cherries and leaves are separate. I stamped them using Samba & Lime Rickey inks. I then die cut the side of the piece with the pretty Bordering Sweet die.
I layered the cherries on top of a piece of cardstock that I had stamped with the must have Angled Square Background Stamp (I LOVE this stamp!!), stamped in the fabulous Catherine Pooler Tiara ink. The sentiment comes from the Sunscreen Required stamp set. I tied some Grass Green twine around the bottom panel to finish the card off.
The next stop on this blog hop is to Effie Cho's blog with The Ton. If you get lost along the way, visit Catherine Pooler's blog for a full list of participants.

ReplyDeleteLove the cherries with the yellow! Hmmm...many things have encouraged me during these times but I think one of the most encouraging/hopeful has been watching so many people gather together to make masks and face pieces for our front line workers. it warms my heart.

ReplyDeletePerfect sentiment for the cherries!
ReplyDeleteThat's easy! I am compromised and have not left the house since March 12th. Making and receiving phone calls from most everyone I have known, the reconnecting, the suprise in the voice when you call, the sincerity of happiness a phone call brings. That's golden! But my favorite heart warming is my precious hubby who has had done everything to keep me safe and in my "bubble". And you know what I do hermit very well. Thanks for the hop. Please be well!
ReplyDeleteDarling card! perfect for this hop! Thank you to all who have come together!

ReplyDeleteLove this bright and cheerful card. I know there is not a lot of things to be encouraged about.....but we do have our health (if we don't have the virus) and I know it will be over and then a memory.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a cheery card!
ReplyDeleteFun, bright, uplifting card. Thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteLove how you created your own paper... the geometric squares are perfect under the little cherries. What encourages me is that the majority of people are staying home and when they go out, they wear masks to prevent spread of the covid virus!
ReplyDeleteThank you for this bright and cheery card.
ReplyDeletelovely card - thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteI have reconnected with a lot of my friends through Face time - really brighten my day
I LOVE the cherries. All fruit images, but especially cherries and berries :)
ReplyDeleteGreat card, I liked the cherry edge and the background you created.
ReplyDeleteI love the homespun feel to this sweet card ... reminds me of homemade cherry jam!!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing this darling card. I forget how nice it is to make our own "patterned paper". I am working from home during this time and I miss the personal interaction with my co-workers. So one thing I find brightens my day is when I catch a "live" on my lunch break or in the evening. It gives me a total distraction from the current state of things.
ReplyDeleteSuper sweet! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteLove this beautiful card!! So pretty and delightful.
ReplyDeleteLove your card's background and the fruit images! Lovely. Thanks for sharing
ReplyDeletesuper creative with making your own background.

ReplyDeletePretty cheery card. Thanks for sharing joy with your project for the Spread Joy Not Germs Bloghop. Blessings.
ReplyDeleteYour card is fun and inspirational. I love the cherries. We made a cherry cobbler tonight, so it was perfect timing. I am spending time during this difficult time for our nation doing crafts. It helps make the time go by faster. I love the Bloghop because it changes things up. Thanks for sharing and stay safe.
ReplyDeleteAwesome CAS card. I continue to remain upbeat because I've been making cards everyday! I'm still working from home during the day, but as soon as I'm off, I start working on my cards and disappear into my happy place of creativity. I always like to look at the positive things in life. I live day to day and when I wake up in the morning, I say thank you and today is going to be a good day! I also design cards for 3 different sites, so that keeps me busy too. LOL! Thanks for spreading some joy today and being part of this amazing hop!
ReplyDeleteHey Jen, I love your happy card, the cherries are so bright and cheerful and the colors go so well together! I am a nurse and I work night shift so to answer your question about what makes me happy and brings me joy... seeing my kids faces in the morning and knowing we are all safe and ok. Thanks for some brightness in this dreary situation!
ReplyDeleteSuch a bright and beautiful card. I am trying to send more cards out to help the people in Senior Living homes (like my mother) that are isolated alone in their rooms.
ReplyDeleteWhat a bright happy card! I love it :D
ReplyDeleteHuge hugs
Amy xx

ReplyDeleteWhat a fun, cheery card! What brightens my day during this difficult time in our world is to reflect on the good things in my life & not the bad.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, fun card. I love the design.
ReplyDeleteI'm calling this time period the pandemic pandemonium. I'm encouraged by the number of people who are stepping out of their comfort zone to help others, to cheer others, and that we are having more conversations about God and how He is in control. Your card is lovely and would certainly make someone smile when they opened their snail mail!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a lovely card. I like the colours and the design.
ReplyDeleteDuring this time I get to spend much more time with my family and I am really grateful for that. xx
Beautiful cheerful card! :)
ReplyDeleteSuper cute card Jen. Love the sweet cherries and the bright colors! I am homeschooling so not much has changed, but I like we are forced away from some of our idols and distractions and it allows us to realize that simple is good! Thanks for the inspiration. God bless!
ReplyDeleteCute card. I'm going to get those stamps and dies out and use them again! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards
ReplyDeleteThis is the sweetest card! I love the design and these two patterns look so pretty together!
ReplyDeleteSuch a sweet card...love how you combined the cherries and the plaid pattern. I am finding the willingness of people to send out encouragement via cards, sidewalk chalk notes, snacks etc to those essential works who keep our lives moving along very encouraging.
ReplyDeletethis will be a great card to give when attending a summertime party, I hope we get to attend summertime parties! Thank you for sharing, I plan to copy this one.

ReplyDeleteI love your very simple card and the fact that you made it with Catherine Pooler inks. The second best thing is that you included a click-on list of the supplies you used so that I can repeat this card if I want. I also LOVE that you are giving away an EXTRA gift certificate just for commenting on YOUR blog post! I will have to add that I like your side bar ads because I enjoy seeing where other people get their inspiration and their products. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteSo cute!
ReplyDeleteThis card is so cheerful, I love the patterned paper that you created. The thing that has literally brightened my day is the sun. We have had some sunny but mild weather for about a week and I am really enjoying working in the garden (weeding is my zen) and seeing the spring flowers bloom.
ReplyDeleteSo pretty, Jen. Love it.

ReplyDeleteSweet card juicy with color. Made me think of picking cherries with my children on a field trip where this one student would pick a cherry then eat a cherry. So he didn't have many to take home but they where juicy.
