Cards Inspired by Faith

There are certain stamp sets that immediately speak to your heart the moment you see them — and that is exactly what happened when I worked with the Christian Bundle Pack that includes Because He Lives and Held In His Hands. These sets are more than images. They tell a story. A story of sacrifice, love, grace, and unwavering faith.

Today I’m sharing two cards that were created from a place of reflection and gratitude — perfect for Easter, encouragement, sympathy, or simply reminding someone that they are never alone.

Card One: Strength Through Faith

The first card features the powerful image from Because He Lives — a moving depiction of Jesus carrying the cross paired with the sentiment:

“Great strength comes from faith in God.”

How This Idea Came to Life

I wanted this card to feel solemn yet hopeful. The red matting represents sacrifice and love, while the darker layering grounds the design and adds weight to the emotion of the image. I kept the background clean with subtle texture so the artwork remains the focal point.

The coloring was done in warm, earthy tones to emphasize humanity and sacrifice, while soft shading around the image gives it a reverent glow.

Card Two: In His Hands – A Message of Comfort

The second card features the tender image from Held In His Hands — Jesus holding a lamb — framed with a radiant yellow burst background symbolizing hope and resurrection.

Behind the image, I incorporated a word cross filled with powerful faith-based words like Joy, Pray, Grace, Trust, Believe, Peace, and Save from the By His Wounds stamp set. This creates visual depth while reinforcing the spiritual message.

Design Inspiration

I wanted this card to feel uplifting and comforting — almost like light breaking through the darkness. The yellow rays naturally draw your eye to the center while the black matting adds bold contrast and elegance.

Cardmaking isn’t just paper and ink — it’s ministry. It’s comfort. It’s love delivered in an envelope. Whether you’re creating for Easter or simply to remind someone that God is near, these sets make it easy to craft something heartfelt and powerful.
