Friends in Faith Instagram Hop: His Grace is Sufficient

 Welcome! I wanted to share my post for today's Friends in Faith Instagram hop...this week we are focusing on 2 Corinthians 12:9--God's grace is sufficient! Praise HIM!

My card features sentiments and Bible verse from Stamp Simply's clear Grace stamp set, along with Paper Trey Ink's Into the Blooms Gardenia die.

I die cut the gardenia from watercolor paper and added watercolor to the leaves and bloom. 

The sentiment is stamped with Versafine Clair Acorn ink onto creamy cardstock, then spattered with Ranger Distress Spritz in Frayed Burlap.

Be Still and Know...Farmhouse Scriptural Quotes--Product of the Week

 

A clean and simple card for today featuring Stamp Simply's Product of the Week: Farmhouse Sentiment Series. This sentiment set is Farmhouse Scriptural Quotes. The mixed font is so appealing, as are the Bible verses in the set. The leaf set is Stamp Simply's Fall Harvest stamps and dies.

I do love an Autumn ride in the forest surrounded by falling leaves and color; on a still day you can practically hear the leaves falling and hitting the ground. A perfect time to worship our Heavenly Father and His creation.

This card is quite simple. I used Ranger Tim Holtz Watercolor cardstock for the base and layer, along with the paper for the stamped and watercolored leaves. I used Versafine Clair Acorn ink to stamp the  Harvest leaves along with Kuretake Zig brush markers for the watercolor.  The Harvest dies were used to cut the leaves.

If you look closely you can see that I ran the top panel through an embossing folder on the right hand side of the card for texture. The Farmhouse sentiment is stamped with Versafine Clair Acorn ink on the left.

Quick and easy to make, great to mail!

Clean and Simple Friend Card

Time for today's My Favorite Instagram Hop! 

Today we are to make a Clean and Simple (CAS) card. I do love a good CAS to get a card out quick! I do have a method behind my madness as well. 

*I almost always use watercolor paper for the heft and texture that it gives. Especially since CAS cards are typically not piled with numerous layers.

*I love a good floral die or stamp and this Simon Says Stamp Blushing Bloom wafer die fits the bill. I watercolored it with Tim Holtz/Ranger Distress Oxide inks.

*I always love a bit of texture with an added die or embossing on the background. This one is an oldie Tim Holtz Sizzix Alterations Frameworks Courtyard steel die. I simply die cut it with the same watercolor paper so it doesn't compete with the background panel, just adds interest.

The sentiment used here is from Stampin' Up's retired Perfectly Pears, die cut with a retired Spellbinder Oval die.

Give Thanks Stenciled Card

 

I've recently been trying my hand at stencils for a one layer (or very close to one layer) card...They are definitely fun to play with!

The stencil for the background here is from Paper Trey Ink...Harvest Medley Stencil Collection. It's a set of eight stencils that you ink up, one at a time. I've used Tim Holtz Ranger Distress Oxide inks here.

The precious Bible verse sentiment is from Stamp Simply's Give Thanks clear stamp set, stamped with Versafine Clair Acorn ink and die cut with a retired Spellbinder die.

A bit of ink distressing on the edges, spatters, and enamel dots finish this easy--yet fun to make-- card.

I made this card up for today's Friends in Faith Instagram hop...this week we are focusing on "Give Thanks in All Things." 

Be sure to check out the hop for all of the inspiration that is there!

Have a wonderful weekend.

Clean and Simple Tea Time Card: Product of the Week

Here with a card using Stamp Simply's Product of the Week: Coffee Series! A range of clear stamps, dies, and paper celebrating coffee and tea!

I've used Stamp Simply Coffee or Tea? clear stamp and die sets on this card. 

I die cut the tea cup from the Coffee or Tea? die set out of gingham paper. I also die cut it once more from white and glued the two together for a bit more dimension. Same with the "tea" die cut sentiment. Cut once from the decorator paper, then twice with white cardstock.

The tea bag was die cut with the die set, then stamped with a stamp from the Coffee or Tea? clear stamp set. It was then added to the cup with a bow and piece of May Art's Bakers Twine.

Clean and Simple!

Seasonal Wreaths--Stamp Simply Product of the Week

Stamp Simply's Seasonal Wreaths are Product of the Week! There are two clear stamp sets: Spring/Summer and Fall/Winter. Each stamp set has matching dies, sold separately.

I love these sets and have used them numerous times. Today's card features the Spring/Summer stamp and die set. I chose Autumn colors which work out great with the image.

I stamped the wreath onto a white cardstock panel using Versafine Clair Acorn ink. The cluster image was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink, then Copic Sketch marker colored. I die cut the cluster with the matching die, then popped it up onto the wreath.

The sentiment from the stamp set was stamped and then die cut with a Stamp Simply Fishtail Sentiment Banner die.

The base of the card is simple covered with a piece of Craft Consortium's Beach Hut decorator paper. All quick and easy. This would be an easy card to mass product, and is fairly flat for mailing.

Autumn Woodscape Card

Hello! I have a quick 5 x 7" card to show you today. I created it for this week's My Favorite Instagram Hop...our inspiration was to create around mushroom/woodland/fern images.

My card uses Arden Creatives Wicked Woodland decorator paper, laser cuts, and rub on transfers. It also features Stamp Simply's Boho Pumpkins die set for the "Autumn" sentiment.

I used a punch to create a notebook type border up the side of the decorator paper panel, then mounted it onto black cardstock. A bit of distress oxide ink was added to the edges of the panel along with some spattered onto the background.  The color palette on the right edge is a rub on transfer. The small butterfly laser cut is popped up on the image panel.

The Autumn word was die cut from rusty orange cardstock and twice more from black cardstock. All three were then glued together for dimension.

Beautiful papers!

Have a great week!
