Card #48 for 2024

Hello Crafting friends.  

I miss stamping so much, but my eyes are a mess lately. 

Not sure what is going on with them, perhaps lack of sleep

and stress.  The double whammy.    On that note, we thought

adding a puppy to the family would be helpful to me, because

HP took part of me with him when he left.  But honestly I've 

not been so stressed with a puppy ever.  So now besides the 

stress, lack of sleep because the little fella gets up 2-3x a night 

to go outside, I can't keep the house clean, or get a Bible

study done,  and making this special card for my son was a great feat. 

I will enter this card in the challenge at:

Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge

The stamp sets in this card are:

Stampin up:  Greatest Adventure

Perennial Birthday 

I wanted to make it look like the train was coming out 

of a tunnel, so I used a brick embossing folder and sponged on some 

gray ink, then cut out a piece of black card stock for the center. 

It's a bit of a stretch, but chalking it up as creative liberty and

imagination.  Then it don't look so awkward.  

The verse I chose for this card is:

Jeremiah 17:7KJV

Blessed is the man that trusteth in the Lord, 

and whose hope the Lord is

Card #47 for 2024

Hello Friends.  

I'm sneaking in at the last minute to enter this card

in the challenge at:

Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge

The stamp sets I used in this card are:

Stampin Up:  Bewitching

Best witches

Clever cats,

Spell binder dies 

You will never believe this card started off with lemons.

I don't know how I switched tracks and got so 

off course, but I did an ended up with a Halloween card.  

I used the spellbinder die negative to sponge in 

the black on my card stock, then took a paper doily

and sponged it yellow.  I stamped a few bats in the

center, and proceeded to stamp the other images, color

and cut them out for placement.  

The verse I chose for this card is:

James 4:7KJV

Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

Card #46 for 2024

Hello crafting community. 

I will enter this card in the challenge at:

Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge

The stamp sets I used for this card are:

Sentiment with the Spurgeon quote is a 2007 Stampin up stamp.

Painted Harvest

Whale done

Seas the day

Vibrant vases (sentiment)

Keeping tabs

Brightest beauty

Friends are like seashells

Quite the group of stamp sets to make one card. 

I used a piece of DSP that I ripped up 7 times for 

a layered background, then I stamped, colored, and cut

out the images to begin placing them on the card.  For

the slider part I just made a cut in the card and slipped it

in there and then put a wider piece on the bottom so it

wouldn't be able to be pulled all the way out. I then used

dimensionals to raise the whole front panel so the pull out

tab would work smoothly.  I will add a short video to my 

instagram page.  

It always amazes me that my cards don't quite ever

follow the vision in my head.  But I guess that's what being 

creative is all about.  

The verse I chose for this card is:

Philippians 1:3KJV

 I thank my God upon every remembrance of you,

 Thank you for stopping by for a visit.

Card #45 for 2024

I had to blow the dust off my old little stamp desk. 

It's been a while.  

I made this card for the challenge at:

Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge

The stamp sets I used in this card are:

Stampin Up:

Label me bold

Gorgeous Grunge 

Nothing's Better than 

I did a little background splatter stamping then stamped

my images, colored them in, and diecut them out.

Placement was everything and I ended up with a gap

so hence the reason the "chocolate" is tipped a bit. 

Our garden is doing ok this year.  Here is a picture

of our first cucumber coming in. 

Missing my Hunter every single day, it's not getting

easier, rather more difficult as time marches on.  

PRAISE the LORD we are looking into a puppy now

I never thought there would be another, but Lord 

willing it will all work out.  I will keep you updated. 

The verse I chose for this card is:

Psalm 119:103KJV

How sweet are thy words unto my taste! 

yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth!

 Thank you for stopping by for a visit.
