Sew Many Stitches

Hello friends! I've got another card using stamps and dies from Creative Worship Stamps. I've had a large roll of adhesive backed trim (ribbon, rick rack, etc.) and decided to create a background using that trim along with some red paper strips that have stitches stamped on them. The Sew Many Stitches stamp set has a big variety of different stitches that add a fun element of texture to your cards! A trio of buttons along with a foliage sprig were added as embellishments.

 

STAMPS: Blooming Tulips - sentiment, Sew Many Stitches - used on several red strips (Creative Worship Stamps). 

INK: Versafine Clair Nocturne.

PAPER: Stamper's Select White, Pure Poppy (Papertrey Ink).

DIES: Foliage (Creative Worship Stamps).

OTHER: Assorted fabric trim; Buttons.

CWS Blooming Tulips

 

Another design for my guest designer gig for Creative Worship Stamps this month. I kept it simple using the floating strips with acetate technique. It looks more dimensional in real life due to popping up the strips and acetate with foam tape. The papers in the Ink Drops Candy 6x6 pad by Craft Consortium are absolutely gorgeous and I didn't want to cover up much of it. I colored the tulip with Copics after stamping with Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto X-Press It Blending Card. 

STAMPS: Blooming Tulips (Creative Worship Stamps).

DIES: Blooming Tulips (Creative Worship Stamps); Nested Circle (Art Impressions).

OTHER: Gold gems (Creative Worship Stamps).

COPICS: RV63, RV52, RV55, Y13, G40, G43, G82.

Spring Brights

 

There's a great new inspiration photo for the Inspired By challenge! I was inspired to use the colors and have a main focus on the stripes. It's been a long time since I used this butterfly cover plate die and thought it would be perfect to add to the strips in the background. I'm planning to send this to an elderly man who had  major surgery recently to let him know we are thinking of him.

The sentiment was popped up on foam tape for added dimension.

STAMPS: Beautiful Banners (Reverse Confetti).

INK: Versafine Clair Nocturne.

PAPER: Stamper's Select White, Harvest Gold, Lovely Lady, Melon Berry (Papertrey Ink); Pool (Foiled Fox).

DIES: Simple Strips (Pretty Pink Posh); Cover Plate: Butterfly Hope (Papertrey Ink); Stitched Rectangle STAX Die-Namics (My Favorite Things).

Creative Worship Stamps

Hello friends! Here is another card for my guest designer time for Creative Worship Stamps. I love this sweet stamp/die set called Flowers In Bloom and I paired it with another favorite set called Texture Tiles 1 where I used the grid stamp with Saltwater Taffy, the splatter stamp with Peeled Paint and Ground Espresso and the script stamp with Antique Linen. It's so easy to create a collage background using these textured tile stamps! 

I like to emboss the stamp outline with clear powder as it makes it easier to stay in the lines when you color with Copics. I popped the florals up with foam tape and adhered it to a piece of crimped kraft paper with torn and sponged edges. I added double loops of jute twine and some sequins for embellishments.

STAMPS: Texture Tiles 1, Flowers in Bloom (Creative Worship Stamps).

INK: Saltwater Taffy, Ripe Persimmon, Antique Linen, Ground Espresso, Peeled Paint distress.

PAPER: Rustic White, kraft, Bristol Smooth Surface, X-Press It Blending Card.

DIES: Flowers in Bloom (Creative Worship Stamps).

COPICS: Y15, YR04, BG11, BG32, BG45, G24, G40.

OTHER: Jute twine; Crimper.

WAW March 18

 

Hello crafty friends! It's time for another Word Art Wednesday challenge with Colossians 1:14 as our inspiration verse. 

 Key Themes of Colossians 1:14:

• Redemption: The phrase implies a "release by a legal ransom," freeing believers from their former status as slaves to sin.
• Through His Blood: This highlights that the cost of this freedom was the sacrificial death of Jesus
  .
Forgiveness of Sins: The result of this redemption is the complete removal of the penalty of sin.
In Whom: This refers to Jesus Christ, the Son of God, and indicates that salvation is found exclusively through Him. (Thanks to Google for the these key points!)

If you remember, my WAW card for March 4 also used the color strips and the cross stitch cover plate die. I made both of these cards on a VERY frigid sub-freezing day in February and was on a roll with this color combo! I wanted the flowers to highlight the blues so that is why I chose to use The Greetery's BotaniCuts: Forget-Me-Nots. Lots of tiny pieces but very easy to assemble.

PAPER: Light coral (unknown source) and dark coral (Groovy Guava - Stampin' Up); Pool (Foiled Fox) and Sno-Cone (Cardstock Warehouse).

DIES: Nested Elongated Ovals (Pinkfresh Studio); Botanicuts: Forget-Me-Nots (The Greetery); Cover Plate: Cross Stitch (Papertrey Ink). 

Remember...we have a different sponsor with each challenge and there is a free gift card issued to one lucky participant! Come join us for a chance to win!  ~Wanda
