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,

Word Art Wednesday Challenge - Anything Goes - Happy New Year!

Hello and Happy New Year Delightful Friends!

We are starting off the new year in a big way!  There are some winners to be announced from the blog hop plus the sponsor prizes, Karen will be letting us know when the winners have been chosen.

 This challenge has an awesome sponsor to begin the new year: Lawn Fawn!!  So much fun and inspiration at the Lawn Fawn blog and the super cute release for Valentines Day.  Definitely head there after you've uploaded your creation to Word Art Wednesday! 

 After the holidays it's nice to make a few thank you cards, with a winter theme and especially if you have not put away your Christmas dies. Other than the white card stock, every product I used is from our sponsor, Lawn Fawn.

Here are the Lawn Fawn products I've used:

Scripty Thanks Die

Stitched Rectangle Dies

Stitched Snowflakes Dies

Let it Shine Snowflakes 6x6 paper pad (the snowflakes are foil and are so pretty on the paper, unfortunately it's been retired 😞)

        

Be sure and go over to the Word Art Wednesday Blog and see all the winners, they should be posted (if not be sure to check back).  Also be sure and upload your creations to join in the challenge of Anything Goes - Family Friendly.

Annual Word Art Wednesday Blog Hop!!!

Hello Delightful Friends!

So excited for our annual Word Art Wednesday Blog Hop!  We have prizes at every blog but in order to win the prize you have to visit and comment on each blog.  The list of blogs to visit are at the end of this post and so is the photo of the prize. 

 In addition to the prizes at each blog we have two sponsors that you'll have a chance to win if you upload a crafty project at Word Art Wednesday.  Don't forget the challenge lasts for two weeks - it's Anything Goes - Family Friendly and you can upload 5 new projects to have a chance to win one of the sponsors prizes.(Stix 2 Anything (UK) AND Unity Stamps $25 x2  (US Sponsor) )

I'm sharing cards using a stamp/stencil set (Wreathed in Joy) from Taylored Expressions. Unfortunately the kit is no longer available but I think it's something you could probably find in your stash of stamps and improvise.

 When I'm stuck for an idea I go to Pinterest and look for cards that I like and then see what I have in my collection that perhaps I can adjust to make it my own design take on it. Also it might only be one little element on the card that triggers the inspiration. There are so many fun cards with wreaths that can be rustic, modern, or a whimsical style.

Here are my cards (4 total using the same stamp and stencil)

 All 4 cards 

Maybe there is one little design element on one of the cards that will inspire you today.  If so please share in the comment section.

Here is the list of blogs, just don't forget to leave a comment to so that you will be eligible to win!

Word Art Wednesday - Stamp Simply

Hello Delightful Friends!

Our sponsor this week at the Word Art Wednesday is Stamp Simply!  Hope you join us at the challenge blog where Anything Goes - Family Friendly is of course the theme.  Be sure and check out all the inspiration!

Here is my slimline card:

I've used the following Stamp Simply items:

The stamp set (my embossed background and the word Grateful) is called Seasonal Wreaths (fall & winter) and the Fishtail Sentiment Banner Die.

I've stamped with Versamark and added white embossing powder, then heat set. The "Grateful" sentiment strip was also embossed, I love how it turned out on the green card stock. I've used a "Toffee" colored card stock and card base.

I die cut the Scripture Art using a blanket stitched die. I think it gives  the border a nice touch.  This was a pretty easy card even with the embossing. And the Scripture is perfect for the season.  The card can be stepped up a bit by coloring the leaves and pumpkins, but I like how it turned out.

 Thanks so much for visiting!
