Count Your Blessings

 

Happy Friday! I'm here with my card for today's Friends in Faith Instagram Hop! Our theme for today is "Count Your Blessings," and Stamp Simply's Autumn Blessings clear stamp and die sets fit the bill perfectly! The sets can be purchased individually or as a bundle.

I stamped the bundle (in this case lavender, which I love...can also be wheat or grain), with Tim Holtz Ranger Distress Oxide inks. I then die cut each bundle out with one of the Autumn Blessings dies, and mounted each on a small square that is popped up. Oh, and I'm using watercolor paper for this entire card. 

The sentiment from the Autumn Blessings stamp set is stamped with Versafine Clair Acorn ink.

Easy to make, and easy to mail!

Under His Wings

Hello and Welcome! I have a sweet card today using Stamp Simply's Product of the Week: God Will Take Care of You clear stamp and die sets. The Psalm 91:4 Bible verse is a part of the stamp set, and makes for both a comfort and blessing!

The images were stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink, then colored with Copic Sketch Markers. After being die cut, they were then layered upon a retired Spellbinder die cut panel.

The background paper is from Carta Bella's Winter Time decorator paper pad.

My Favorite Hop Instagram Hop

 

All set for today's My Favorite Hop Instagram Hop where we were to use leaves in our project. I chose to create a card using Paper Trey Ink's Into the Blooms Acorn dies along with a sentiment from Stamp Simply's Boho Leaves clear stamp set, stamped with Versafine Clair Acorn ink.

I die cut the leaves, acorn, and berries out of watercolor paper, then used Kuretake Zig Clean Markers to color them. After they dried, I spattered them with Ranger Distress Spritz sprays in Frayed Burlap and Rusty Hinge.

The FALL sentiment was stamped with Versafine Clair Acorn Ink, then die cut with a retired Spellbinder tag die.

I mounted the die cuts on a panel that was embossed with a retired Stampin' Up embossing folder.

I hope that you get a chance to check out the My Favorite Hop over at Instagram. I cannot wait to see all of the leafy creations that are there!

Hope your week goes great...thanks for stopping by!

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.
