My Card Sample using the beautiful verse from Karween Murray




I love the beautiful and serene expression of this portrait.

As I looked through images and stamps to go with this week's verse, I thought this one would be perfect.


                I don't think there is a woman on the planet who cannot give pause to all the anxieties that besiege us on a daily basis, especially now.

When I was a teenager, it seemed like everyone's mom that I knew was on Valium; as the years passed, the drugs changed.  But the  Anxiety remained.  Today, we all struggle with it, but for a growing number, the answer isn't drugs; it is Jesus.  I've had my days, anxiety, depression, and just the general run-of-the-mill daily; the sky is falling syndrome. For me, it has been Jesus and the Word that has brought comfort to my soul. I am in no way casting aspersions on anyone who has or does need the help of modern medicine.  I am in my early 60s, and I am just now getting through things from my young life - I get it. The Lord has broken so many chains in my life in the last few years. I truly feel Born Again - Again!

Feathers, rhinestones, glitter, and a little bling make the card more fun.


I used a diamond-shaped
                                3D embossing folder on the background paper and used a gold paint                                     spritz on the surface before putting the focal image on that layer.


And for your card-making, right-click and save.  The woman image is public domain art 
Have fun dressing her up as you like!

Most importantly, If you need help with anxiety, make sure you get it!  Stay in the Word and allow the Lord to lead you to the still waters for that rest and refreshment you need.


Thank you for stopping by and sharing Word Art Wednesday with me.  
 I hope to see your card entrance, and you win a prize! 
Have a great day!

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
