New look and new purpose!


I took a week from regular posting to work out a new Direction and Purpose for this blog.  
Our time  is very precious and I want this blog to be time well spent for you! 
I want this to be a resource for you to find  Sentiment and Bible verse downloads, art for your paper projects at no cost to you. 
 I have added two new pages to keep thing searchable for you; Scriptures and Sentiments ; and Images.  Click on the tab for the latest first and then scroll through for more choices. 
 Please grab my button and share the blessing!!
I hope to be able to publish 5 scriptures a week , Monday through Friday!

One of the first things I needed to do was learn a little of Photoshop Elements  at least enough to accomplish a great desire of mine - Digital Calligraphy of the Word. It isn't too bad!


I hit a few snags especially with the DPI scale, but I had a light bulb moment and got the fuzzy text figured out!  
So here is my first offering from Psalm 33:20.

Remember these are all right click downloadable


This sweet frame to put it in:




I am loading these as components for you, you can also use this as is:


and here is my sample card:
and I am entering this  for Word Art Wednesday!

5x7 on strathmore paper.

While you can't tell in the photo the top layer is on an dimensional tape. I may add a bit of ribbon to it.  My cards are not crazy with dimensional elements, I love those kind of cards but because I do a lot of mailing I try to keep things very mailable and under 70cents.  This card weighs just one ounce even with the heavy 110# base and multilayers of colored papers.  I always try to be a good steward with the Resources I have been blessed with and I try to pass that on to you!

I am very excited about this new format, please grab my button and help spread the Word to the whole world, one card and one blog at a time!
Thanks for stopping by,
Ginny M.
Oh just in case you were wondering there will probably be just as many typos and grammatical errors as before!   One mountain at a time!

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.

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
