    Our gift verse this week is perfect for your Christmas card-making. I am using it for mine this year.
    I have always sent a Christmas card centered around our Redeemer's birth, and now it is even more important to keep it about Jesus.
    My card is a slim line A9 size using navy blue paper and lots of gold.







    This has to be the question of the hour of the day we live in. I have seen the signs, but where is he? I come to worship him.
    The most important thing is finding him and worshiping Him for who he is. 
    He is the Redeemer of mankind, the Author and Finisher of our Faith. 


    O come and Adore Him while he can still be found!

    Thank you for taking the time to stop by my blog. I hope you enter the Word Art Wednesday Challenge!

    Such a beautiful card Ginny - I too like to keep Jesus at the centre of my cards - not that I have made many this year!
    Sorry I am so late, but have been without the internet after moving into my DD's extended house, where I have my own "Queen's Suite" - almost self contained, but I can go directly into the main house, and I eat with them most evenings.
    Blessings

    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
