Word Art Wednesday #583+584 With a Terrific Prize



 
Hello Everyone, It is  Word Art Wednesday! I hope you take the time to click over to the blog Word Art Wednesday and check out Karen Letchworth's beautiful devotion along with  Karen Murphy's Digital Caligraphy featuring this week's verse: Romans 12:12 NIV. For inspiration, we have the Design Teams' beautiful card Inspirations. Why not make a card and enter the challenge.  You just might win a lovely $25.00 gift certificate to Stamp Simply Clear Stamps. Stamp Simply Clear Stamps has an amazing variety of awesome images, sentiment  as well as Scripture Stamps.  After making the card and entering it, mail it and you will definitely make someone's day.


Today's verse focuses on the need for temperance in our lives, not only for our sake but also for the sake of others that interact in our lives.   When we live the words of this verse, we become a strong tower, a city on a hill, and a light to the world. 

My Card: 





I made these cards using watercolor paper and digital images, The base is also watercolor 130# (300gsm) paper.  I have found the watercolor pads of paper from the store Five-Below terrific for card making.  36 sheets for 4.99, and from that I can make 72 bases or 144 card fronts.  I tend to make larger A6 size cards, so using this type of pad really works for me, I either half it for bases or quarter it for fronts.  


I have a freebie for you today too:
Never enough butterflies! 

Thank you for taking the time to stop by my blog, It is a small way I can share Jesus and outreach through the art of card making!  Have a wonderful day!
Ginny M.

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
