PJ Bear is so darn cute. And this set from The Cat's Pajamas has a plain bear along with every accessory you would need for every holiday and for every occasion.
You might ask "Why do you have frogs on a St. Patrick's Day card?" The inside includes this fantastic sentiment from Stamp Oasis. RubberNecker now sells Stamp Oasis stamps but I don't see this particular stamp anywhere.
May the light
always find you
on a dreary day.
When you need to be home
may you find your way.
May you always have courage
to take a chance,
And never find frogs in your
underpants.
Now do the frogs make sense???
Since I already had a cute card and a funny card, I wanted just a basic card that could be sent to anyone. It's very simple on the front, but it has this nice sentiment from Custer's Last Stamp (I got it on Addicted to Rubber Stamps) on the inside:
May your blessings
outnumber the
shamrocks that grow
and may trouble avoid
you wherever you go.
Check out the embossed edges on the little squares. I love how this extra step makes the card look so "finished". I love it so much I did a whole post on it!
