WAW201 ~ Chronicles 16:11 ~ Seek the Lord and His Strength

It is officially the middle of another week!  And you know what Wednesday means...  it's time for another great challenge at Word Art Wednesday!

  

Be sure to check out the Word Art Wednesday site for all of the details including this week's digital scripture, how to link your creation AND info on some fabulous prizes! 

We appreciate our sponsors so very much!  Please take a few moments to thank those who generously provided our prizes this week!

A very special thank you to Simon Says Stamp who graciously provided me some goodies to play with this month!  They are having a huge celebration this month.  Be sure to check out their BLOG to check it out!  As part of this great event also known as #STAMPtember, I have been given a few products to share with you on today's card...  

I started out with an A2 Side Folding Card provided by Simon Says Stamp and added a layer of diagonal print designer paper.  I wanted my snowflake die to pop so I chose a complementary DP that was a bit less "busy" and cut it to fit nicely under the die.  The die (also from Simon Says stamp) is super dainty and looks great over this pattern.  I can't wait to pair a couple of these dies together over an entire card panel to see what it looks like!  I added a feel different size pearls to the panel (lifted up with dimensional foam) and printed today's scripture on white card stock.  I trimmed it to the desired size and used a simple corner rounder to dress up opposite edges!  I really love the bold look of these gem!  

Thanks so much for stopping by!  And don't forget to check out #STAMPtember this month at Simon Says Stamp!  They have some wonderful new products to share!  

And please join in with us this week at Word Art Wednesday's challenge where the designs are always family friendly!  Thanks for stopping by!

Blessings...

~ Your Love ~ I Thessalonians 3:13

Welcome!  So very thankful you stopped by for a minute.  Today, I have a card using one of Our Daily Bread Designs' past releases, Love Scriptures.

 

 

This week, I stamped the sentiment on vellum (Versamark Embossing Ink) and used a white embossing powder to make it pop.  I used a die to frame/cut the sentiment and highlighted it with foliage from Fancy Foliage Die.

 

Here's the card...

~ Love ~

Welcome!  So glad you stopped by!  I have an un"bee"lieveable card for you!  It's a real "honey!" 

 

***So sorry!  I couldn't resist an opportunity to be corny!***

 

  I'm trying to clean out my paper scrap stash.  I found some fun leftovers with a "bee" theme. They came in right handy, since I need a bee themed card for a special friend.  She wanted a card for a special bride who loves anything "bee" related.  And since the gift she has chosen has black and white polka dots...  you get the picture!  It fits the bill! 

 

I chose a favorite scripture passage from I Thessalonians.  The card base is black card stock with a layer of white and black.  I trimmed my honeycomb paper slightly smaller and inked it with a black soot distress ink.  I added the bee theme paper with black matting and cut out a fun polka dot print.  This time I chose to mat it with both white and black.  I cut the sentiment out (stamped with black Versafine ink) and added a black scalloped mat.  I stamped the bee (found in Our Daily Bread Designs' Zinnia ) on Copic compatible paper and colored.  Glitter glue adorns the wings.  The coordinating die (Zinnia and Leaves Die) cut the little guy out just perfectly.  I used ODBD's Asters and Leaves Die to create my floral spray.  Super easy!  And so satisfying to clear our my scrap stash!  :-)

 

Here's some of the items I used today...

MOJO303 ~ He Who Abides in Love ~

Finally made it back from Louisiana!  We took our time over the last few days but boy am I tired!  Now the fun begins...  laundry, household chores, the endless to do list...  **sigh** 

 

But I did take a few moments to play with this week's MOJO sketch using a couple of Our Daily Bread Designs' July releases. 

The base is black card stock.  The card measures 4 1/4 by 5 1/2 inches.  I added a dry embossed white layer (Swiss dots EF) and a slightly smaller panel of green CS with a bit of black under the DP.  I distressed/inked the DP with black distress ink before adhering.  I stamped the bird image next and added the birdcage image on top before coloring with Copics and using the coordinating die to cut.  I stamped the sentiment and fussy cut it and the matting myself before adding.  A few pearls adorn the bird cage along with some die cut vines and mulberry roses.  What do you think? 

 

Here's the sketch... and yes, I did flip it...

A Look Back at ODBD's July Release!

Today we are taking a look back at Our Daily Bread Designs July Release!  For this special post I created a card showcasing Love Scriptures.

 

  For more inspiration using the July Release be sure to visit the ODBD Blog.

Here's the  Love Scriptures set I used along with

 

 an April release Quatrefoil Label Dies .

 

 

 

 I just love pink, don't you?  For my base, I used white card stock with a layer of dreamy pink and white DP.  I embossed the DP before centering and placing on my card.  I used the Quatrefoil die and created a white base to place under the coordinating DP die cut.  I stamped my sentiment (one of my FAVORITE scriptures) on white CS and cut a simple rectangle.  I adhered it over the die cut taking care to gently curl in the edges for a bit of a distressed look.  A few white and pink blossoms frame each corner with some added die cut and paper punched foliage.  And since I LOVE pearls so, I cut a flourish up and added bits and pieces to each corner. 

 

So what do you think?  I hope you like it! 

For more inspiration using the July Release be sure to visit the ODBD Blog.  Also, I know my DT sisters would love a visit and some love, so please visit them as well!

I have a couple of cards for you this time including one with some (ahem) non-traditional wedding colors.  My step-son and his fiancé are getting married Sunday July 7th and our grandson to be picked the colors.  Since Jake is all about a certain tractor brand...  we will have a distinct green and yellow color scheme....  How can I tell the little guy I prefer New Holland blue????  :-) 

 

 

Love Scriptures

 

 

And then there is this card featuring gold embossing on black card stock.  A very simple scheme but elegant nonetheless.  I embossed the doves on a separate piece and fussy cut the image before adding to the top of the faux cake.  It adds just a bit of dimension and makes the entire cake appear to "pop" off the page.... 

Anniversary Blessings
