Make a Wish Birthday Bear Card with Matching Gift-Bag...

Happy weekend, crafty-people.  Here I am trying to get this card here before the month ends...I made this card for a two-year old girl's birthday.  I have this bear image colored for many months but was unable to make a card with it.  Needless to say, I was in a rush and had to come up with something and walah, having one prepared truly helps a lot.  I began to just gather materials and planned it out as I went.  I don't recall where this Digi image is from but I colored it with my Bic/Sharpie markers with some stickles (glitter).  Die cut some flowers, used an MS Punch for my border, sweet gems for blings, sentiment from Clearly-Defined Stamps and finally, lots of stitching...

The sentiment on the gift bag were letters from Inkadinakado stamps.  I don't usually make a card with a matching gift bag but it really depends on my mood.  Anyway, I pray that you are having a wonderful, blessed weekend with your family and friends and would like to hear your comments about this project...Lots of love for y'all!

Sending "Happy Everything" Bicycle Card...

Good day, Fellow Crafters!  It's another day to serve the Lord...So thankful for the chance to shine the light of God to people I would come across with today and of course to share the projects I am privilege to create...I made a card for a friend that just recently celebrated her birthday.  I used Cuttlebug embossing, all stamps and sentiments from Heidi Grace Rubber Cling stamps colored by my Bic/Sharpie/Prismacolor markers, gems and some stickles for added dimension on the gifts and flowers.  I truly love that flowery border stamp design that works perfectly in coordinating my card and my envelope.  Sweet!  This card has been entered into these challenges:

1. Simon Say Stamp featuring "Anything Goes"
2.  Little Red Wagon featuring "Bicycle"

Oh, how I love to make cards and if I don't have a busy sched on a daily basis, I would like to make as many cards I can manage.  But right now, it's just wishful thinking.  I know that in everything, my time with God comes first, then family, then work and the rest in any order after that.  Hope you find the time to view my cards and leave me a comment.  I read and answer them all.  God bless, everyone!

Blessing from Heaven...Pink or Blue?...Baby Shower Card

Hi there, friends!  It's time for a his and her baby shower card.  I got invited by a friend of mine in the Church to her daughter in-law's Baby Shower Party and I had to make a card for a baby girl.  Later on, I decided to make one for a baby boy as well so below, you will see how I was able to make this pretty clean, simple-looking cards.  I used my baby themed Cuttlebug Embossing folder, Nestabilities, sentiment and image from TPC Studio, fancy ribbon, gems and lots of stitching. 

I love the way these turned out...This card is entered into this challenge:

Wishing you a Happy Birthday...Pink or Blue?

Hi again, everyone!  Last week (Holy Week), I had a lot of Birthday parties to attend and had to make several cards for each of the celebrants.  Among them are these 2 cards that I gave to twin sisters.  I decided to use two sets of colors based on the color of the candle sets that I gave them as gifts.  I handcut the flowers from a designer paper and matted them with a coordinating cardstock for stability.  As you can see, I also incorporated some embossing, used a Fiskars Border Punch, silk ribbon, gems and stickles (glitter) for added dimension on the flower.  The sentiment is from TPC Studio.  This card is entered into this challenge:

It was a bit of a rush making these 2 cards.  It still took a lot of time to make which caught me by surprise since I didn't have to stamp an image and color it.  I don't know why but I simply could not make myself do a super simple card...LOL  Anyway, I added the flowers on the gift bags using my Gypsy on my Cricut machine.  The flower is from "A Walk in my Garden" cart.  Anyway, hope you like these 2 cards and I'll have a couple more to post after this...God bless and would appreciate your comments...

Scripture Series: Whole World in Your Hands...

A great day to each and every crafter out there.  I am amazed at all the creations I see when I go to different sites but most of all, I don't know how some can make cards daily.  I am not denying I would love to do be able to do that but the many roles I play in the family as a wife and mom, as a Church worker, my part-time work and time with friends would make that impossible.  So, I just have to set my priorities straight and get what's most important done then, sit down and start working on my favorite hobby...Cardmaking!

Anyway, this is the 5th card in my Scripture Series and I must say, I am proud of how this turned out.  The most difficult thing I encounter in making cards is digging on the supplies that I want to use for my project.  The most challenging one is finding a designer paper or cardstock that will satisfy my taste.  But after the project is done and you love the outcome, it makes all the effort worth it.  I cut the scallop and border with MS punches, did a lot of stitching all over, stamped both the sentiment and the image and colored it with my Bic/Shaprie markers.  Added glitter and gems for dimension.  The stamps are from Stampendous.  The message has it's bearing from this scripture passage:

"The earth is the LORD’S, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein. For He hath founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the floods." (Psalm 24:1-2)

Okay guys, this is all for now and I hope you are having a wonderful time making some projects that you all can be proud of.  Thanking the Lord for granting me the time to get into my craft table and create.

Scripture Series: I'm a Christ Follower...

Here's my 4th card for the Scripture Series I started last month.  I don't have a lot of time to make cards so, it's taking a while to get all the images I want to include in the series.  I don't know what lay-out to use for this one but like all the other cards I created, I plan as I go...This card has it's bearing from this Bible passage:

 Then he said to them all: “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me."  (Luke 9:23)

I used 2 Cuttlebug embossing dies for this and lots of stitching...The image is colored with my Bic/Sharpie Markers and added glitters for added dimension and I used 2 kinds of hearts brads.  Stamped image and sentiment from Stampendous.

This is a kind of card that can be both appropriate for both male and female...Scriptures cards not only are nice to the eyes but are healthy for the soul.  That's why I love to do them...Hope you enjoy this as much as I did making them.  God bless y'all!
