As it is written - Word Art Wednesday Challenge

Hello Delightful friends!

Here is my card for this weeks Word Art Wednesday Anything Goes/Family friendly Challenge #426 & 427! Our fabulous sponsor Seth Apter Designs is donating 2 $25 gift certificates that means 2 winners!  Be sure and check out this talented mixed media artist's blog HERE.

As usual I keep my cards pretty CAS.  This year I've been trying really hard to use the larger scraps of designer paper that I have on hand and this card is no exception.  I wish I could tell you what company the paper is from but... they are from my scraps. I did a couple of angle cuts to design this one and then added 3 cute little hearts since it's Valentine's Day this week and the word heart and love are in the Scripture Art.

Our verse this week is from 1 Corinthians 2:9 and isn't it the truth!  We just can't really comprehend what God has prepared for us, but I know it's wonderful!  Plus He has given us just a little taste of His goodness with the "down payment" of the Holy Spirit.  Oh taste and see that the Lord He is good!!

Well have a great week, thanks for visiting and may God bless you richly!

Great Things He has Done - Word Art Wednesday

Hello Delightful Friends!
We are 1 week out from celebrating the birth of our Lord Jesus.  Can you believe how fast the last month has gone? The last week has been super busy for me.  I was asked to speak at the Women's Christian Brunch here locally (Vital Network aka Stonecroft Ministries) that happened last Wednesday and then I hosted our ladies and daughters from church for a Christmas lunch and gift exchange on Saturday.  We had a delightful time! I think there were 26 in attendance and we had a Mexican themed lunch with enchiladas, chicken taco casserole and two soups and yummy cupcakes for dessert. So now that those two events are over I think I can finish cleaning and decorating my home, but not before sharing this card for our Word Art Wednesday - Anything Goes/Family Friendly challenge.

Head over to the challenge blog and check out the prize it will be available to someone for sharing their crafty project with us.The challenge runs for two weeks and you can enter 5 new projects each week!
Here is my card:

The Scripture Art is from 1 Samuel 12 verse 24

"Only fear the Lord, and serve Him in truth with all your heart: For consider how great things He hath done for you."

This time of year it's important for me to keep things simple so this card certainly fits that description.  It starts with a white card base (A2 size).  I've added a green card stock layer and then the pattern paper (cut 4x 5.25) which I've diecut a circle with a Spellbinder circle die.  I then added the Scripture and adhered it to the back of the top layer.  Then I added the green bow to the center bottom of the circle.  It is simple and should be less bulky to mail too!  Isn't that paper pretty? It's Winter Wonderland by Heidi Swapp.  It's 12x12 and double-sided.

Well that it's for me!  I probably won't be back until January 1, 2020 for our next challenge so have a blessed Christmas and enjoy your families!

CAS Wreath Card

Hello Delightful Friends!

Here is a CAS card I made featuring a new stamp set we are carrying at Scrapper's Edge a locally owned craft store in Eureka, Calif. It's from American Crafts the Kelly Creates Line, the stamp is called Floral Wreaths.  I'm also sharing a quick and easy tutorial!  This stamp set is perfect for CAS gift card sets with different sentiments. I hope to do a beginning stamp class soon at Scrapper's Edge.

Step 1:  Cut Desert Storm 80# card stock 4" x 5.25"

Step 2: Stamp wreath using black Archival ink.  I've position the paper in the MISTI to do this.

Step 3: Color the flower petals using a Prismacolor Premier Pencil (PC938)

Step 4:  Stamp Sentiment using the MISTI, (I've used the Avery Elle Oh Happy Day set, not shown in supply photo) with black Archival Ink. Keep the paper in place and stamp again with Versamark and heat emboss with clear embossing powder, don't forget to prep your paper with anti static powder (EKSuccess)

Step 5: With white pencil, outline the sentiment on the thick edge of the letter to highlight.

Step 6: Adhere the card stock to the white card base.

Step 7: Add Liquid Pearls (buttercup) to the center of each flower.  Set aside to dry.  Easy Peasy!

Here are my supplies:
