Word Art Wednesday Challenge - Fruitful transformation

Hello Delightful Friends,

Spring has quickly disappeared and summer is upon us in most of the states.  My corner of the world is still kind of cool in the morning and evenings and if the wind doesn't blow it's pretty comfortable, but boy if the wind is out the temperature stays in the low 60s. I always look forward to late July thru September when summer is really here on the north coast of California. 

On some crafty news, I'm getting ready this weekend to start tearing apart my craft room with the help of my oldest granddaughter Riley!  I've ordered some Stamp-n-Storage items (I'm so excited to start getting things organized, right now I can barely squeeze in there to my table.  I have too much furniture that isn't functional anymore and too much "stuff" if that's even possible 😂 I "might" be to embarrassed to do "before pics" but we'll see....

Well it's time for the Word Art Wednesday Challenge Anything GoesWord Art Wednesday Challenge Anything Goes - Family Friendly!  Our sponsor this challenge is  Doodlebugs. They are offering a $25 gift certificate to shop in their store! Hope you can play along, don't forget to upload your crafty project at the challenge blog and you can enter 5x each week the challenge runs.

The Scripture Art is from Colossians 3:12.  One of my favorite chapters with wonderful instruction on what to "put on" and what to "put off".  When you put on the attributes of Christ Jesus your life will be transformed and become fruitful for the glory of God.

Here is my card for the challenge:

Ingredients

Die: Postage Stamp Stacklet (Taylored Expressions)

I've used lots of ink colors:

Sour Gummy, Cookie Monster, Blue Raspberry, Granny Smith, Kiwi, Lime Zest, Sugar Cube

Items from 2 Kits from Taylored Expressions:  Butterfly Wishes (Stamp & Stencil set); Time to Fly (Combo Club) Card Stock: Sugar Cube; Foil it: Butterflies.

My messy table after putting together my card.

Word Art Wednesday - Stamp Simply!

Hello Delightful Friends!

Time for another Word Art Wednesday challenge.  The theme is Anything Goes, Family Friendly!

Hope you'll share your new creations with us and perhaps you'll win the prize from our sponsor this week, Stamp Simply! ($25)

  My card features the stamp and die bundle called Man of Knowledge .  This stamp set has some great sentiments and the dies are great to have on hand too.  I've colored the image with PrismaColor Pencils and then popped it up with dimensional adhesive.  The Happy Father's Day was stamped with Sepia (Versafine Vintage Sepia)  I was tempted to add some tiny titles on the spine of the books, wouldn't that be fun or maybe a favorite authors name.  I tried to color in a way that would give some of the books an antique feel to them. Not so sure that I was successful, need to practice 😉

Other ingredients:

Burlap twine 

Wonky Grid Background stamp (Taylored Expressions)

Toffee Ink and Toffee & Mocha Card Stock (TE)

Wavy Stitched Stacklets Die (TE)

Hope this finds you all well and enjoying our spring weather!

Word Art Wednesday Challenge - Happy Valentines Day!

Hello Delightful Friends and Happy Valentines Day!

So glad you made it here to see this weeks challenge card for Word Art Wednesday.  We have a delightful sponsor The Stamps of Life ($25 gift card), check out the store, the blog and the videos, lots of inspiration!

 The challenge is Anything Goes - Family Friendly and the Scripture Art is from 1 Peter 4:8.  I'm kind of a clean and simple stamping kind of crafter and this card was pretty simple and I've given the directions below. Hope you'll check out the challenge blog and join us for an opportunity to win the $25 gift card to Stamps of Life! You can upload 5 new projects a week and the challenge is up for two weeks at a time.  You don't have to use the Scripture Art but if you like it, you can grab it at Word Art Wednesday.

Step 1:  Choose a colored card stock to use and cut it to 5.25 by 4" make sure you have a coordinating color ink and a brush or dauber. (I've used Rose Water by Taylored Expressions)

Step 2: Choose an embossing folder (Sketched Hearts 3-D by TE) emboss the colored paper, I used a Big Shot.

Step 3: With a dauber or brush, use the matching ink to blend over the embossed images (in this case it's the hearts)

Step 4: Adhere the embossed paper to a card base (A2)  I've used the Rose Water card stock to keep with the monochromatic color theme.

Step 5:  Stamp a sentiment on Vellum (I've used our Scripture Art image that was copied onto Vellum), then die cut using a Heart Shaped Die, I've used the Stitched Heart die set. 

Carefully adhere to top of the card.

Step 6: Add embellishments in odd numbers, I've used clear Bits & Pieces (TE) 

The nice thing about this design is that you can change out the color or theme and have a pretty simple card, I love the embossed images which add some delightful but simple dimension and texture without a lot of work.  Hope you like it and will try it out.

Thanks for visiting!!

Word Art Wednesday - Be of Good Cheer

Welcome Delightful Friends!

Hope you're getting ready to play along with Word Art Wednesday!  Stamp Simply is our sponsor for our challenge so be sure and check out the Stamp Simply store.  The store is filled with terrific inspiration and perhaps you will be a winner of the challenge prize, but you've got to play along to have a chance to win the gift certificate. The Stamp Simply brand of stamps and dies are so encouraging, lots of Scripture stamps and fun images.  

The challenge is Anything Goes - Family Friendly and you can upload 5 new projects a week (the challenge is for 2 weeks)  I've used our Scripture Art from John 16:33, which is a perfect verse right now in such troubled times!

  The books and key are a stamp & die set from Stamp Simply and is called A Man of Knowledge.  I colored the books using Prismacolor pencils and blended with mineral spirits, it's been a while since I've pulled out my pencils, I had fun making the books look a bit worn and antiqued.  

The key is part of the die set and it includes some fun gears too. The stamp set has some great sentiments and Scripture verses. This definitely favors the masculine side  but I'm looking forward to changing it up and perhaps adding some titles to the spines, I used to be a librarian, so I'm getting all sorts of ideas running through my head and am looking forward to playing with the set.

Thanks for visiting don't forget to play along at Word Art Wednesday and please visit our sponsor Stamp Simply.  

Praying for our nation and for the peace of Israel.  Come Lord Jesus, come!

Blessings,
