Dear Friends... In spite of all that we are personally experiencing in the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as what we are viewing on the news about the violent protests and dissension all around our country, I want to take a stand and share with you, that my Christian Faith replaces fear and anxiety!
THIS IS WHAT I BELIEVE...

Within minutes today after you land here at Polka Dots And Paper, you will find yourself on a journey... The card featured is from a NEW STAMP SET called BEAUTIFUL WORLD. Rather than showing one or two stamps from the set, all thirteen stamps are displayed on this post! I've never thought of doing it like this before, but my creativity kicked in (because I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this set), so here we go...
Catalog information about the BEAUTIFUL WORLD STAMP SET is down below. But first, scroll slowly and enjoy each of the stamped images on these simple 5x4 pieces of Soft Suede Cardstock.

creative possibilities for a beautiful journey!

My father passed away over 20 years ago and I still think of him with fond memories. The WORLD'S BEST FATHER in my life now and for the past 56 years is my husband, the father of our children. He is the cornerstone on which our family is built. Our children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren love everything about him. They would choose him ahead of me any day of the week! They know for sure that HE IS THE BEST Dad and Papa in the whole wide world...
This is my husband Jim (...or James as his mother called him. He has an identical twin brother named John. "James and John are their Biblical names" as she used to lovingly remind me.) On Super Bowl Sunday this backdrop was set up at our church, and everyone took turns having pictures taken.
SUPPLIES & ACCESSORIES: Itty Bitty Greetings Stamp Set; Garden Green Cardstock and Whisper White Cardstock; Country Club Designer Series Paper; StazOn Black Ink Pad; Best Badge Punch; Whisper White Medium Envelope.

FLAG DAY is celebrated each year on June 14th. It commemorates the adoption of the flag of the United States of America. The date of that signing was June 14, 1777.
I felt creative... so rather than using a flag stamp, I designed this card with images from the Duet Banner Punch! The Red, White and Blue Cardstock looks so patriotic for this day that is set aside to honor our country. (Thanks to Google for the 2020 Image below.)
SUPPLIES & ACCESSORIES: Painted Glass Stamp Set; Real Red Cardstock, Blueberry Bushel Cardstock, Whisper White Cardstock; StazOn Black Ink Pad; Duet Banner Punch; Take Your Pick Tool.

The phrase on this card works well for MEMORIAL DAY but also when you want to share love and SYMPATHY. I have found that when a friend receives one of my handmade sympathy cards, it is not only comforting during their time of loss, but deeply appreciated, knowing that it was designed and made with lots of TLC...
