The JOY source + FREE printable Scripture cards

My mother-in-law asked me to create this joy Scripture card set for a church event recently. We love how they turned out, so we’re sharing them with you today!

I love these verses because they remind me of our joy source:

“Restore to me the joy of your salvation and sustain me with a willing spirit.” Psalm 51:12

“Let all who take refuge in you be glad, Let them ever sing for joy.” Psalm 5:11

“You make known to me the path of life; in your presence is fullness of joy; in your right hand there are pleasures forever.” Psalm 16:11

“With joy you will draw water from the wells of salvation.” Isaiah 12:3

Did you catch that? Joy is found in God’s presence and His salvation. What reliable sources! 

Enjoy these cards! They’re great for posting on the refrigerator, slipping in a card to a friend, taping on a mirror, or putting in a frame. To cut in fours, make cuts at the 4.25 and 5.5 inch marks. 

You can download the file HERE!  All my printables are free for your personal use. Please don’t re-post the actual file without my permission (but please feel free to link to this post)!

I also have other card sets just like this available in my shop! You can check out more free printables here. What Scripture sets or printables would be helpful for you to have?

    Hmmm. Maybe a mission of motherhood set? A weariness set? A praise set?

    Love your cards! They are so pretty! You have some major talent here! Have you ever considered making some (business card size) that could be handed out to people – as a tool to witness or maybe just to tell that person that God loves them.

    Hi Tasha! Nice to "meet" you! I think that's a really cool idea! I'll process what that could look like! Thanks for the suggesting the idea. Mary ❤️‍

    Hi Mary Dean
    Your scripture cards are wonderful. Are the verses from the King James version?
    John 3:16 is always a great verse to have. Phillipians 4:13, Proverbs 3:5-6, Psalm 23,Galations 5:2…and of course Corithians 13 The Love chapter. Those are some really great ones. Have you used them?

    Hi Shelley! I use a combination of three Bible versions in the public domain: King James Version, World English Bible, and American Standard Version, for copyright purposes if I make the cards for my Etsy shop. I actually have illustrated Philippians 4:13 and some of 1 Corinthians 13–they're part of Scripture sets in my shop. This one: https://www.etsy.com/listing/246421088/printable-digital-download-grace-filled?ref=related-1 and this one: https://www.etsy.com/listing/226490978/printable-digital-download-busy-lady?ref=shop_home_active_13

    I love these! I made a printable about joy after studying the Hebrew roots of each time the word joy was mentioned in the Bible. It's amazing how often they related to an action word of shouting, dancing, singing etc.

Welcome to the blog!

I’m Mary and I’m glad you’re here! Since 2014, I’ve been sharing encouraging words, fun Bible printables, and accessible art activities.

let’s talk about . . .

I'm going to be introducing new prints from my new I'm going to be introducing new prints from my newest print collection over the next few weeks. The gorgeous "Be Thou My Vision" hymn has always been one of my bestselling hymns , so I decided to add an additional version to my shop. This hymn was translated into English in 1905 by Mary Elizabeth Byrne (July 2, 1880 – January 19, 1931) from the Old Irish Hymn, "Bí Thusa 'mo Shúile."

I'm going to be introducing new prints from my new I'm going to be introducing new prints from my newest print collection over the next few weeks. Today, meet my print of the 1907 hymn "Joyful, Joyful We Adore Thee" by Henry Van Dyke. Does anyone else immediately have the amazing Sister Act 2 version of this in their head? 

I've never done an abstract, layered watercolor design around a hymn, but I really love how this turned out. I wanted it to look like a stained glass window in a church, but with a not-so-literal take. 

Mortals, join the mighty chorus,
Which the morning stars began;
God's own love is reigning o’er us,
Joining people hand in hand.
Ever singing, march we onward,
Victors in the midst of strife;
Joyful music leads us sunward
In the triumph song of life.

I'm going to be introducing new prints from my new I'm going to be introducing new prints from my newest print collection over the next few weeks. Today, meet my watercolor nature color wheel and color mixing chart! 

Each little creature and plant in the color wheel was hand-painted and then scanned and edited to fit in its slice of color. This is inspired by my watercolor classes, where I love to give an introduction to color theory. The second print is a simple watercolor mixing chart and shows the beautiful colors you can create just by mixing a few basic colors together! 

Lastly, there is also a sticker version of the nature color wheel!
