You're Simply Amazing!

 Good Evening, Fellow Crafters,

I saw a card online that had an envelope on the front of the card with a little message in it. I thought, since I have an envelope die, that I would try to CASE it.

I started out with some pretty gold swirly paper and embossed it with a Paper Studio Curlz EF. Below is a video showing the embossing:

Then I made an envelop from Sizzix die set, Flowers w/ Envelope. I stamped a white piece of cardstock with a stamp I got from Hobby Lobby about 3 years ago, and slipped it inside the envelope. I popped the envelope up with adhesive foam pieces. Layering on gold and black cardstock and adding flowers with pearl centers finished the card:

Here is the little note pulled out:

Romans 10:9-11
9 If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by confessing with your mouth that you are saved.

Acts 13:38-39
38 "Brothers, listen! We are here to proclaim that through this man Jesus there is forgiveness for your sins. 39 Everyone who believes in him is declared right with God—something the law of Moses could never do.  NLT

A Simple Prayer for Salvation:

O, God!  I know that I am a sinner. I thank You that Jesus Christ, Your Holy Son, was born of a virgin, came and lived a sinless life here on earth, and died on the cross as a sinless sacrifice for my sin. He is no longer dead, but rose from the dead and is seated at the right hand of God the Father Almighty. I accept His atonement for every sin I have ever committed and receive Your salvation. I put all of my trust in Jesus Christ of Nazareth and receive Him as Lord of my life from this moment on. Thank You Father God for this grace given to me.

Folded Embossing

Good Evening, Crafters,

Hope all is well with you. I'm so glad you stopped by!

I made a card from a great idea I saw with Connie Stewart's Simply Stamping video. Her video turned out a beautiful card so I thought it would be fun to try it. If you would like to watch her video on how to make this card, here is the link.

I used the Julie's Garden EF and some die cut flowers from the Stampin' Up patterned paper. The embossed paper was cut in the middle and folded back, as you can see. The sentiment is one I got on Amazon from an unknown company. It is stamped with Versamark ink and heat embossed with gold powder. Golden rhinestones are added for additional interest.

Here is the card:

Multi-Colored Bouquet

Good Evening, Fellow Crafters,

Today I made a very intricate card from a die set, Sizzix "Jar of Flowers." It has a lot of die cut outs to assemble, but the end product is very nice. I cut the jar out of turquoise cardstock and then cut a piece of acetate from the same die so that placing it over the turquoise jar base, it makes the jar look like glass. The picture does not show the acetate very well, but it's there.

I used a Spellbinders Quilted Delight EF for the background and used a patterned paper at the bottom to look like a tablecloth. Each flower has a little gem in the center.

Here is the card:

Black, White and Red

 Good Evening, Crafters,

Today I made 2 very similar cards, almost twins, but a little bit different from each other.  I started with a red card base, then put a black layer on, then a white embossed layer. The patterned paper is also mounted on a black piece for contrast.

Here are the cards:

Here are the things I used to make the card:

    Spellbinders Enchanted EF

    Die-Namics Fancy Flourish Die

    Punch Bunch Flower Punches

    Black faceted embellishments on the flowers

When I started out to make the card, I had a totally different idea in mind, but it never seemed to gather much steam. It just didn't look right--so, plan B.

That's all for now, Crafters. Have a blessed day!

Cheerful Birthday Birdie

Good Evening, Fellow Crafters,

My! It has been over a year since I posted on this blog. Time slips away, doesn't it?

I made a birthday card today that I hope will make the recipient smile.  Here it is:

 

I used the following:

    Spellbinders Sprigs (foliage)

    Paper Studio Ribbon Curls (EF)

    Spellbinders Scalloped Ovals Die

    A scrap of  "cloud paper" I had lying around

    A retired Stampin' Up "happy birthday" stamp 

        (I've had this for more than 5 years - it still is a favorite!)

    Stampin' Up Bird Punch

    Black embellishment used for bird's eye

I also have been using a base layer of black cardstock, cutting the next layer only 1/8" smaller so that the black piece is a very subtle border that sets off the card. It may be almost unnoticeable, but if a white card base is used, it makes a good contrast for the other layers. I learned this from watching some Gina Kay videos. 😇
