Jeniffer is amazing artist! I love her card so much! Her creation always inspiring! And those card absolutely will cheer up the recipient!
I would like to add phrase like "sending hugs to you" :)

These are adorable, love the use of the different colours. I think I would leave the message open with "Just a note to say" then you could add the actual message inside the card i.e. thank you, get well soon, etc.

Gorgeous cards. Love the bright colours. You can never mave to many of them. A sentiment like "enjoy your day" or "just me saying hello" could be fine.

I have always like the "Just wanted to say..." sentiment. That leaves it open for whatever you want to put inside. I love Jennifer's work and these cards are beautiful!

I love those cards...she is so talented! I think they would work with any sentiment at all...thanks for all the inspiration!
Eva said...How simple, yet so different. The various colours make the cards look so different from each other eventhough it's the same stamp used on each and every one!
I would use a phrase like "Just for You" You could then really use the card for a lot of occassions: birthday, thank you, saying hello, etc.

ReplyDeleteI would like to add phrase like "sending hugs to you" :)
They're great cards, I love cards that look like they can be made in an assembly line process. I normally pick neutral sentiments like "thinking of you," "just because," or "a quick note." If I make a big batch, I'll leave a few blank so I can stamp what I need when needed. :-)
ReplyDeleteAlways love Jennifer's cards and these ones are no exception! :) Love the bright colors and her wonderful way with design. I'd probably add some Happy Birthday messages as I make birthday cards for the members of our church on behalf of the church.
ReplyDeleteI always need "Thank you" cards and try to make them whenever possible. It's much easier to make a batch at a time, then one by one as needed (they go out late if I make one by one)
ReplyDeleteThinking of YOU! Those are versatile for any occasion!

ReplyDeleteWishing you a wonderful bday Jennifer! I always love Jennifer's cards because they are always so full of color and always make me smile. That's what I would add to these cards "Sending you Smiles"
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday cards of course! That's what I make when I make a bunch at a time!
ReplyDeleteLovely cards, so colourfull!
ReplyDeleteI would add a sentiment: Carpe Diem
And happy birthday to Jennifer.
I was going to suggest ":sending you smiles", but I see that was posted.... "Happy Day" maybe. The cards are so cheerful and colorful. That stamp is really versatile for a lot of different greetings.
ReplyDeleteLovely cards. Jennifer is so talented. I'd make some these phrases: what's blooming, hello friend, take the time, and just because.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous cards. Love the bright colours. You can never mave to many of them. A sentiment like "enjoy your day" or "just me saying hello" could be fine.

I have always like the "Just wanted to say..." sentiment. That leaves it open for whatever you want to put inside. I love Jennifer's work and these cards are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI love these cards and I would add "Happy Birthday" or What's going on in your world". I love the colors and the layering that was used. Thanks for a chance to win a stamp.
ReplyDeleteJennifer is wonderful - she always comes up with the neatest things!
ReplyDeleteI never have enough thinking of you cards - so I would make a lot of those - but as gifts to teachers, thank you cards would be perfect!

Cute, Cute cards. Just Because, Just a Note, Thinking of you always, You are a great friend... those are a couple of sentiments i find very useful!

ReplyDeleteI just LOVE the cards Jennifer made, she is soooo talented.
ReplyDeleteLove Jennifer's card. She's so creative & her works always so inspiring. Another good sentiments would be, "Hope your day is filled with happiness."
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! The incomparable Jennifer McGuire, as always!
ReplyDeleteJennifer did an amazing job! I think these cards could say so much; happy birthday, get well or just thank you :)
ReplyDeleteI would use a sentiment that says " your a fabulous friend". I love letting friends know that they are appreciated. Thanks for the giveaway! I love Hero Arts
ReplyDeleteHow GORGEOUS! I love this technique so fab!

Just a note would be fabulous, because it's so universal.
ReplyDeleteI love Jennifer's work! Thanks for sharing this great idea.
ReplyDeleteI adore those cards, the colors are fabulous!!! I like the "thinking of you" greeting or "just a quick Hello" something simple that you could use for many different occasions. But they definately could be a "Congrats" card, or Happy Birthday, even so pretty they could work for Happy Mother's Day. : )
ReplyDeleteGreat cards I am with you and I never have enough Thank you cards!
ReplyDeleteGreat tech idea. I'm going to try this. I have a stack of glossy paper in my stash. I like the thinking of you sentiment and use that a lot. I also use miss you alot for my cards for Operatin write home. Thanks for a chance to win a new stamp. OHHH!
ReplyDeleteWow, lovely simple cards with fantastic colours! I like cards that say "Thinking of you" or "Friend" or "Just a note to say...." as that way you can use them for everything.
ReplyDeletethese are fabulous! they'd make a great set for ANY occasion! throw in some thanks, some happy birthdays, some congrats, some just a notes, and your whole set is complete! LOVE IT!
ReplyDeletei need to go make stuff RIGHT NOW!
Happy Birthday Jennifer!! The cards are fabulous! I was lucky enough to win the floral image stamp from another blog and now I have some fabulous inspiration on what to do with it!!
ReplyDeleteHow simple, yet so different. The various colours make the cards look so different from each other eventhough it's the same stamp used on each and every one!
ReplyDeleteI would use a phrase like "Just for You" You could then really use the card for a lot of occassions: birthday, thank you, saying hello, etc.
These are spectacular!! I would probably add a sentiment like "just because" or "Happy Birthday"...you can never have too many of those cards!!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely stunning cards! They are so vibrant and gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThose cards look absolutely fabulous! I lack the glossy paper and suitable inks, but otherwise I would try right away. I think that "Thinkg of you" is great for those cards, maybe "Have a wonderful day" would suit well too.
ReplyDeleteLove this blog! :> Love Jen's cards, I have that stamp so I am totally inspired! I would make birthday since I am always needing those!
ReplyDeleteThese cards are gorgeous! I think I would stamp a few "Happy Birthday" and then a few "Thank You" because those seem to be the most needed types of cards around here.
ReplyDeleteJennifer's cards are always beautiful and these are not exception! I would make several in different colors and just add the sentiment I needed at the time I sent them out. What a great project!
ReplyDeleteWow!!! Gorgeous cards!! Love the bright colors!! =)
ReplyDeleteHugs, SannaS
Thanks for teaming up with Jennifer mcGwuire!
ReplyDeleteLove those colorful cards by Jennifer. I would add the phrase, "You brighten my day", since the cards are so colorful!
ReplyDeleteI mostly send thinking of you cards and get well cards, so I would probably Jennifer's thought. She has such talent. I love her bolg and her work.
ReplyDeleteI love the bright, bold colors! My sentiment would say "Praying for you".
ReplyDeleteHmm… I know this sounds weird, because the colors on the card are so bright and cheerful looking, but the design looks like it would make an elegant “With Sympathy” card, if the colors with muted a tad bit.
ReplyDeleteLovely cards! My sentiment would be “Just Because…” Sweet and simple. :)
ReplyDeleteThese cards are amazing love the bright colours. "Just a note" could work
ReplyDeleteAngie
I love these cards! I agree, thank you, would be a great addition. Also, just a note, get well soon, even happy birthday.
ReplyDeletei just got my order with one of the new releases...LOVE it, LOVE Hero Arts, and am quickly learning to LOVE your site now that I have discovered it...THanks!
ReplyDeleteWow, das sind wunderschöne Karten in tollen Farben, ich würde nichts mehr hinzufügen, die sehen so klasse aus
ReplyDeletelg gila
thanks for the giveaway! i like jennifer’s idea of a thinking of you message
ReplyDeleteThese cards are adorable! I especially like the brown one in the back; I find that it’s better to have a darker color as the base to make the white pop more. I would probably make a whole bunch of these cards and keep them until an occasion comes up, and add a message like “Just for you”, or “Thank you” or “Congrats”.
