Summer Fun

On Tuesday, The Twist of faith Blog offers a great themed card challenge, click here.  The twist is to have a scripture or encouraging sentiment to go with the card!   This is a fun way to become inspired, we all need to be stretched creatively!  This week the Challenge is a sketch  and the sponsor is :

                                                                        Digi Darl

Here is my Finished card:




Well that isn't how it started, I made the card and then went to upload it and realized, Duh, I didn't do the sketch challenge, just the sponsor image!
 
Here it was before:
But the fun thing about digital stamps is that you can play with them and make them work!
 
Using  the original image I  took out the umbrella person and reversed one side of it, this left me with a big beach scene.  I water colored it and then punched out  the image of the  person from the first card.  Cut in half the beach scene, mounted it on black and then attached the person image
 
Here is the sketch :
I still wasn't done, I forgot my scripture!!  What was I thinking!!
 
Now there was no room on the front of the card and I didn't want to start over!
So I put it on the inside!
 
 
One of my favorite verses!  Call to me and I will answer!!
Jer: 33:3
 
Give this sketch a try, it is fun  you might win a prize and it is pretty simple - unless of course you do things the way I sometimes do!!  I am thankful there are no card police!!
 
Have a wonderful day and Call on the Lord and see what He has to say!!
 
Thanks for stopping by!

How to Make Sweet Little Paper Dress Cards!

Image
I recently watched a You Tube video on how to make an origami Paper dress, I thought these would make the sweetest card for all occasions!  So I had a great time crafting with friends and making these adorable dress card! These three are my favorites: I used an old Stampin' Up background stamp for the background on most of these. I left the sentiment off, for now, that way I can turn these into whatever I need them to be when I get ready to send it! I used the Best Glue Ever to hold the layers and the dresses- worked great!  This adhesive allows the folded paper to keep its spring by not soaking into the fibers - no wet spots showing through or dents. Just a tiny drop and bead hold it down perfectly Add glue and then put a book on it to flatten it a bit For the delicate die cut sentiment and embellishments, I also used the BGE If you are interested in learning how to make these, here is the video I used, th

Tutorial: Making Napkin Cards

Image
Here is a fun tried and true old fashioned card making technique. Long before we had all these sumptuous patterned papers we had gorgeous napkins! For depth of color and interesting texture, you can't beat them especially for the money! Most you you may have done these so this will be an ‘Oh Yeah’ moment! Have fun! You can start with any size paper napkin - I like to pick min up at Tuesday Morning, they have a wonderful selection and are usually marked down Separate the printed surface from the tissue backing - these napkins are usually 3 layers I cut my panels to fit a light weight piece of cardstock I drizzled glue on the card stock and then added my napkin panel I found it was easier to keep the light and floaty napkin on the table and then place the gluey paper on it Gently smoothed it a little bit - remember the napkin layer is very fragile I gave it a few minutes to set up and the just added a puddle of Lineco glue. You can also

How To Restore A Vintage Rubber Stamp

Image
I have a lovely Vintage  Magenta Cat Stamp, I'm not sure of the exact year of release, but I'm pretty sure it is about 20 years old, It appears to be in perfect condition.   But on inspection, I can feel that the rubber has gotten a little dry and "tough" and what that means is that I won't get a good impression from it.  I bet you have run into the same thing with some of your older stamps!  Don't toss the stamp, there is a way to restore them pretty easily! I have on hand the little sanding blocks you can buy for about $2.00 at the hardware store.  The are very handy in the craft room!  I gave this stamp a vigorous rubbing and then wiped off the dust with a damp wipe Next a coat of glycerin - a $4.00 drugstore item - you can also re-ink your embossing/resist pad with this! Let it sit over night and then wipe with a damp towel.  Your stamp should have that nice soft rubber texture.  Now the ink will sit on the rubber!  I inked up
