Seed Cards and scripture download ables
I whipped up a favorite project of mine last night that I wanted to share. I call these seed cards. I call them this because I leave them all over the place; just a simple card with an encouraging scripture on it. No contact info, no doctrinal instructions, just a verse to encourage and I hope reach out to someone and bless. I usually, make them a little more elaborate, with rubber stamping and coloring. I need a batch for myself and one for a friend who loves this idea too! The bible says to broad cast the Word, which means in our language to scatter, to plant, a seed. The Word does not go out void so I don't have to attach my personality of my faith to it, it just needs to get into someone's hands and then into their heart.
I used two sheets of DCWV cardstock from a mat stack and glued them wrong side together, I pressed them under a half dozen other mat stacks. This gave me a very nice base weight card.
I tried to pick masculine and feminine papers.
These cards are standard ATC size 2.5 x 3.5, I think this is the perfect size for this ! After glueing the 12x12 sheets I cut them into size and then placed them under the stacks for pressing. While the Glue was drying I worked up scriptures in word and then turned them into PNG files in Project point ( a nifty trick Steve showed me!!).
I cut the scriptures out and then glued them to the cards. Sometimes I print directly and sometimes I used rubber stamps.
I am posting them here and Please feel free to down load and use any way you like!!

PS I couldnt down load them ,:((
I love this idea and hope you won't mind if I use it.
Also I notice the glue you are using is Aileens but I couldn't see what it is called. The stores here don't seem to carry the repositional Aileens glue so was curious.
Thank you for sharing, both your faith and your files.
