Word Art Wednesday December Blog Hop!

Hello Delightful Friends!!

Merry Christmas and blessings to you all.

It's time for the annual Word Art Wednesday Blog Hop!!  So excited to share all the fun inspiration and hope you'll join us and comment to enter in the chance to win a prize at each stop. 

Our Primary Sponsor is Stamp Simply Clear Stamps.  They are offering a $25 gift certificate to their amazing store.

Our Secondary Sponsor is Tonic Studios.

They provided many of the prizes being offered from our blogs.

 Below is the prize that Tonic is giving at this stop along the way!   Be sure to scroll down and see all the participants and don't forget to comment to be eligible to enter the drawing! 

Tonic Studios Stamp/Die Set, Sticker, Ink Pad

Here's my card to showcase:   Stamp Simply Clear Stamps - Wonder of Christmas/Christmas Tree TRIO

I had fun making this coordinated card and tag set. There are 3 tree dies in this set and I've used two.  I made a bunch of these tags using different pattern papers and they turned out so cute and were fast and easy.  Unfortunately those other tags have already been attached to presents and sent to Oregon to my nieces and nephews without any photos taken!  I didn't take a picture of the back side of this tag but I did cut a tag from the pattern paper for the back using the Ranger Tag dies.  The inks used were Cilantro and Poppy Seed (Taylored Expressions).  The Stitched Hillside Die is from Lawn Fawn. The pattern paper is Penny Black's 6x6 paper pad called Wintertime.

Word Art Wednesday Challenge - Give Thanks and Praise

Hello Delightful Friends!

November has turned cold and wet here in northern California.  Brrr... so glad we have a cozy warm living room with the fireplace.  We got a new insert for the fireplace and had it checked out to make sure it was safe.  Hopefully this will help with the expected high heating bills.  Of course that means we need firewood, so guess what we've been doing (with the help of our grandson!)  Hope you all are staying warm!

It's time for our Word Art Wednesday Anything Goes (Family Friendly) Challenge!  Our sponsor this week is DRS Designs hope you'll visit their blog HERE, get inspired!! Cute Christmas stamps 😊

I've used their SNOWGLOBE rubber stamp.  It's a great size and fun to be creative with. I could probably do a snowglobe design for every season - fun!!  I like to "stretch" my stamps!

The Scripture Art is from Psalm 79:13.  It starts out saying "we are the people and sheep of His pasture"  My card doesn't use sheep but it does use a buck!  I should of waited until we have the verse Psalm 42:1 which says :As the hart panteth after the water brooks, ao panteth my soul after Thee O God"

Here is a list of the supplies I used:

Stamp: DRS Snowglobe

Dies: Cottage Cutz (Trees) Stitched Hillside (Lawn Fawn);                                                          RangerThinlits Petite size Snow globe & cut outs.

Ink: Sea Salt, Sprinkles, Toffee

Paper: Fall Fling 6x6 (Lawn Fawn) Poblano Pepper (Taylored Expressions)

Supplies: scissors (EK), blender brushes (TE), 

Thanks so much for visiting!

Hello Delightful Friends,

October is flying by... how many weeks before Christmas 😟

Time for Word Art Wednesday Challenge with a new sponsor.  Swoon Party Shop on Etsy $25

Here is my card and the Scripture Art that was used.

This week I've used the same Stencil from last week but this time I used white card stock

 (Triple Slim - Falling For You from Taylored Expressions) and the coordinating dies.  

I used a variety of inks from TE (Mulled Wine, Sweet Basil, Cilantro, Dijon, Earl Grey, Toffee, Olive and Mocha)  The red card stock was from my stash and the Slimline base is a top fold card.

Scripture Art was printed on white vellum. Pink Fresh Die called Scallop Stitched Rectangle was used to cut out the Scripture and the frame.

Don't forget the challenge is Anything Goes - Family Friendly. The challenge will last for 2 weeks and you can enter 5 new projects per week.

Thanks for visiting!  Have a creative 2 weeks!

Here is my card using the Stamp Simply set called "Wreaths" (Christmas & Fall) and coordinating Die, the word Blessing is one of the sentiments included in this set.  I've also used the Pastor & Ministry Appreciation Stamp set that includes many Scripture verses of encouragement. I've stamped using Versafine ink (Sepia) right onto the pineapple card stock and the honey card stock.  The jute rope is from Celebrate It.  Card stock: Pineapple, Toffee (card base) and Honey (Taylored Expressions) and the pattern paper is from my hug supply of fall paper scraps.
