TCM January 2013 Previews: Beautiful Hymns

Welcome to day one of The Craft's Meow's January 2013 Release Previews. Today we're showing one of my new sets called Beautiful Hymns. As the name suggests, this set was inspired by some of my favorite classic Christian hymns. The hardest thing to do was to pick which ones to include.

For my card today, I used one of the most quoted lines from Great is Thy Faithfulness. The song is based on Scripture:
The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases;
his mercies never come to an end;
they are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness.
“The LORD is my portion,” says my soul,
“therefore I will hope in him.”
(Lamentations 3:22-24 ESV)

The card is simple shabby. I stamped the sentiment on a die cut Spellbinders Labels 10. The background paper is by Prima. I accented the label with some Want2Scrap bling, burlap twine and Prima flower.

Please check out the TCM blog for a list of participants on today's previews, including our Guest Designer of the month, Jennifer Ingle! A stamp set will be given away to one commenter on the TCM blog. The winner will be randomly drawn and announced the next day's post. Have a great day!

    Nina I am so, so excited about this set! You have done such a great job picking hymns, I was so excited to see 'Tis so Sweet to Trust in Jesus' one of my all time favorites which no one even seems to know anymore!

    Hi, Nina, what a lovely card, I am not always sure what to do with print paper when the print is only on the sides, This creation is inspiring. I love the sentiment, and the bling on the center really makes things pop. thanks for the inspiration.

    Thank you, Nina, for designing this set. I'm a pastor's wife and so many times I've thought that a line from a hymn would be perfect for a card that I'm sending someone in our congregation. This set speaks to me.
