Scripture Series: God Loved You and Me Card!

I've been wanting to embark on a series of Scripture Cards after I bought the "Inspired Icons" stamp from Stampendous.  I absolutely love every single image that's in there so, here is the very first one in the series I will make.  This sentiment has it's bearing from John 3:16..."For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."  Oh what a blessing we have just by that passage.  

Here, I used my Bic/Sharpie markers to color, a couple of nice ribbons, stickles (glitter), gems and a great deal of stitching.  I can tell already that I am going to have fun making this series...Hope you like them too.  I entered this card to this challenge:

1.  Delightful Challenges featuring "Use your Scraps"

Birthday Cake Monkey Card...

I just love Dustin Pike's images especially this monkey hanging with a cake.  It's so cute.  So, I incorporated it into the card we gave to my step son and I am pretty happy with the result.  I used my Cuttlebug to emboss, Ek Success border punch , Nestabilities, stamps, eyelets and Cuttlebug corner die.  I colored the image wih my Bic/Sharpie markers.  I've entered this card to the following challenges:

1.  Delightful Challenges featuring "Use your Scraps"

Sweet Thing Cupcake Card...

Birthdays are my favorite occasion to make cards for.  There's just so many images that are birthday oriented like this cupcake that I used from Paper Studio.  I colored it with my Marvy Uchida Wet Embossing Marker and added some Stickles (glitter).  With the perfect ribbon and dew drops, this project is a winner.  I've entered this card to the following challenges:

Owl Always Love You Card....

Here's another totally sweet card for those owl lovers.  The moment I saw this stamp from Craft Smart, I just couldn't wait to get them on a project.  I stamp it using my Marvy Uchida markers ang gave them some google eyes.  Oh, I just love it!  I used several stamps to create some background on the 3 strips and I am very happy with the result.  Used my Nestabilities to create and emboss the octagon shapes.  I just added a heart gem, some glitters and an aqua ribbon and this card came out amazing.

Think the World of You Changito Card...

Oh, I know...Love is in the air and so, I have made this super sweet card from my favorite Changito Monkey from Stampendous.  I colored him with my Bic/Prismacolor markers, embossed with my Cuttlebug, border from MS punch, cut the scallop circle with my Nestabilities, sentiment inside the card from Stampendous and sentiment in front of the card from Art Warehouse.  To add some cool dimensions, used some ribbon and dew drops...I had fun making this and hope you like it too...

Make a Wish Princess Charming Card...

I made this card a while back for a little girl who turned 4 years old...She had a Princess Themed Party and this card worked perfectly.  I was very satisfied at the outcome of this card as I would say, I didn't have a complete idea what I wanted to do with it when I began putting all the materials together.  Everything is just trial and error to see what works best  (that's what I do with all my cards anyway...LOL).  I used my Cuttlebug to emboss the base card (A2 size).  Then, I stamped the flower background (Stampendous) many times in order to achieve a continues pattern and so glad it came out good.  I actually colored my image before anything else and based it on the celebrants favorite color...purple!  The stamps (princess, castle and sentiments) are from Recollections and colored with my Bic/Sharpie/Prismacolor markers.  Ribbon, gems and some inking completed this charming card.

All Things are Possible-Flowers & Butterflies Card...

A friend of mine asked me to create a sympathy card that's encouraging and highlights a scripture message.  With the help of flower stamps (Autumn Leaves), butterfly stamps (Studio G), sentiment (Clear Art), border punch (Fiskars), a pre-cut card, and a wonderful stitch from my new sewing machine (I love it!),  this is what I came up with.  I decided to add some gems and make 2 similar cards with just a slight difference in gems and base cards.
