A CAS Banner Hello!

Happy Sunday blogging friends, and Happy Fourth of July to all my friends in the United States!  It's time for another Stampin Sisters in Christ Challenge!  This week our hostess is the sweet Peggysue!  She has chosen one of my favorite verses for this week's Scripture:

Psalm 46:10 Be still and know that I am God.

Peggysue's challenge is to make a CAS (Clean and Simple) card or project

I used this fabulous set called "Sending You Sunshine" (Nina B designs) from The  Craft's Meow.  I just love this set!  The card is made with Flourishes White cs and Prima Sparkling Springs, as well as a couple scraps of green and yellow.  I paper pieced the trees, sun and ground.  I sewed around the card and added a shabby seam binding bow I had colored using Honey Dew Glimmer Mist, and a crocheted flower I had won.  I added a button from my stash and done.  They say CAS is whatever clean and simple is to you.  To me... I think of  white space when I think of CAS.  I resisted the urge to color my sky and left it pretty simple.  I added no pearls, no brads, no fancy sketch with tons of layers.... so to me, this is CAS.  What is CAS to you?

Our verse today pretty much says it all, doesn't it?  Our lives today tend to get so cluttered with "busy-ness"!  I used to think that after I stopped working that I'd have more time.... well.... quite the opposite I think!  I know for myself that my life can get filled up with all well intentioned things.... but the one thing we need the most is often the one thing that gets squeezed out by all the clutter of our lives.  We need that quiet time when we just focus our  hearts and minds on God.  Reading His Word and spending time with Him in prayer are critical to our relationship with Him.... but sometimes, I think just sitting still and meditating  on Who He is.... reminding ourselves that He is God, and He is sovereign and really rejoicing in that is what we need most!  I find so much peace in doing that!  I hope you can take some time to just be still and know..... that He is God! 

Our sponsor this week is Clear Dollar Stamps.

The prize is a $15.00 Gift Certificate!

We want to thank Lori for her generosity and continued support of SSIC!

Time to Celebrate Father's Day!

Hello my friends! Happy Sunday! With Sunday comes another Stampin Sisters in Christ Challenge! Today, our challenge hostess is the sweet and talented Lisa! Lisa has chosen (Eph 6:2-4 NRSV) for this week's Scripture verse! "Honor your father and mother"--this is the first commandment with a promise: {3} "so that it may be well with you and you may live long on the earth." {4} And, fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord."

Lisa's challenge is to make a Father's Day card or a card praising our Father in Heaven.

I'm enjoying vacation with my grand kids and we are running and having fun! I look forward to this time all year long! So my post will be short today! I know Lisa's devotional will be wonderful so please be sure to check out the Stampin Sisters in Christ Blog to read it and get all the details on the challenge!

For my card I used this month's release from Our Daily Bread designs called Time, and also Father's Day. I used BoBunny Timepiece dp, Prism Copper Metallic, and Bazzill for the base. I embossed my image with Ranger Copper embossing powder and purposely over heated it so it lost it's shine, but retained the copper color. I love copper, but I wanted this to look old, and the shiny just didn't work for me! LOL! So after I embossed, I sponged, crumpled up and sponged some more, distressed all my edges and sponged some more.... trying to achieve that old feel. I embossed the dp with a Cuttlebug folder and sponged it. I stamped some twill that I had saved from a bundle of towels I had purchased some time ago with T H Distress Ink in Walnut Stain with the words Husband and Father from the Father's Day set. I embossed the Time to Celebrate sentiment the same as the clock and added a T Holtz brad.

The sketch I used was for this week's Midnight Madness Sketch#107.

I'm Pulling for You!

Happy Sunday everyone! I am the hostess for this week's challenge, and I chose Proverbs 10:20-21 for this week's Scripture.

"The tongue of the righteous is as choice silver,
the heart of the wicked is worth little.
The lips of the righteous feed many,
but fools die for lack of understanding."

My challenge is to:
Create a card or project that encourages and use a touch of silver

Have you ever known someone who struggles in the area of “holding their tongue”? Well, I have, and it was a woman I loved very much, but she was a critical perfectionist who just felt compelled to verbalize her disappointment about just about everything. I saw the pain it caused her family relationships, the poor self esteem it caused her son, and even the unhappiness it left in her after she had vented every word! I vowed that I did NOT want to carry on that “tradition”!

Have you ever REALLY thought about the power God has given us through our words? Prov. 18:21 says “The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit”.

It is truly amazing to think how powerful our words are! God put that power in us for a reason. Although we often misuse it, allowing our words to be a source of great pain to those around us, God wants us to use our words to encourage, enlighten and bring healing others! Prov. 12:18 “Reckless words pierce like a sword, but the tongue of the wise brings healing.”

What are some ways we can use our tongue to encourage and bring healing? There are so many ways. Is. 50:4 says “The Lord has given me the tongue of the learned, that I should know how to speak a word in season to him that is weary”. Our life experiences and the wisdom we’ve gained are not to be kept locked up for only our own use, but are to be shared with others going through difficult times. Simply sharing the truth of the Gospel is another way, for we know that true healing can only come through Jesus’ shed blood! Paul says in Rom 10:14 “How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher?” Certainly sharing God’s Word is one of the greatest ways we can use our words wisely! Paul admonishes older women to encourage and teach younger women in how they should be faithful to God in their family life. Sometimes simply coming alongside someone who is struggling and instead of criticizing, just offering words of positive encouragement or advice is what is needed. Sometimes, just letting someone know you are there for them, praying for them, willing to listen and comfort them is the best way to be an encourager.

With the thought of just how powerful our words can be, let’s ask God to show us ways to be an encourager!

My card info:

Today I have a fun card I made with an image from our sponsor, My Favorite Things. Isn't she cute? The set is from the Pure Innocence Line and is called A Cart Full of Friends! I stamped her with Memento and colored with Copics. I hand drew the hills and clouds on printer paper, then cut out my designer paper according to my pattern. My base is Bazzill, the dp is BasicGrey Hello Luscious and Urban Prairie. I sewed around the various elements hoping to give the illusion of fabric like when I used to quilt. I faux stitched the clouds. For the touch of silver in my challenge, I used a VersaMark pen to color in the hub caps of the wagon and then heat embossed with silver. I used Martha Stewart fringe scissors to fringe scraps of two different shades of green cs and then I curled various parts down by curling around my piercing tool. The sentiment is punched with SU! punches.

Our Sponsor is My Favorite Things and the prize is a $25.00 Gift Certificate!!!:
We thank them for their generosity! Wish I could play!! :)

A time and a season...

Hello everyone! Happy Sunday! I hope you are enjoying a wonderful weekend! With Sunday comes another Stampin Sisters in Christ Challenge, and this week, my dear friend and ODBD and SSIC DT sister Chris Olsen is our Challenge Hostess. Chris has chosen Ecc. 3:1 for today's Scripture:

To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under heaven

Her challenge is to use Fall colors or leaves on your project! How fun is that!

I used the sketch from this week's Stamp With Fun Challenge and I used Our Daily Bread designs Scripture Collection 1 because this very Scripture is in that set and I just had to use it. I paired the verse with this month's new release Brocade Borders. I used one of the border stamps on the verse panel, and just inked one corner of the more square frame in the set on the envelopes. By just inking one corner I didn't have to mask. The designer paper is BasicGrey Indian Summer and it's on a base of Papertrey Dark Chocolate. I used Versafine Sepia Ink to stamp and a SU! Marker to color in my border design. The leaves are die cut from scraps of the same papers using a JOY! Craft Die/ Embossing combo. I love these JOY! Craft dies! I sponged the leaves with my Versafine ink to show the leaf veins a little more. My bow was made with a gold sheer ribbon that I sprayed with Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist in Golden Terracotta. I also did some paperpiercing on this after Angie challenged me in her wonderful Time With Post on the ODBD Blog this week! I used an Ornare piercing template for the corners and a SU! mat pack for the straight lines.

With this being officially the beginning of fall here in the US, ... it's always so special to enjoy the beautiful turning of the leaves and the cooling of the air after the blistering heat of summer. I love fall and always look forward to a little trip to the mountains to just enjoy all God's beauty! Talk about a beautiful palette of color! When I look at nature, I just see the awesome wonder of our God! This reminds me that not only are there seasons to our year, but there are seasons to our lives, and no matter what season we are in, God has a purpose for our being here, and for every experience we go through. Every breath we breath is a gift from Him, and is given to us for a purpose. Some of the seasons we go through are dry arid seasons, some can be very difficult ones.... and those may be seasons of learning and growth. Just as it is with pain that we give birth to a child, it is sometimes through pain that God creates in us the new character He wants. Some of the seasons of our lives are mountain top experiences and we feel like we couldn't be any closer to God. Those seasons are time to be sharing our joy with others and helping others.

I hope that whatever season it is in your life, that you are feeling His presence and are seeking His leading and instruction in your life! He promises that whoever diligently seeks Him will find Him.

Our sponsor this week is Our Daily Bread designs! Woo Hoo ... near and dear to my heart! Join us for the challenge and you could win a gift certificate to the ODBD Store!

We'd love to have you play along! If you do, please leave a direct link to your card on the SSIC Blog and please link the challenge in your post!

Springs of Water

Hello everyone! Happy Sunday! This post and the last several have been prescheduled as I have been away due to the death of my DFIL.

Sunday brings another Stampin Sisters in Christ challenge. This week I am the hostess and I chose John 4:10, & 13-14 for today's Scripture.

10Jesus answered her, "If you knew the gift of God and who it is that asks you for a drink, you would have asked him and he would have given you living water." 13Jesus answered, "Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, 14but whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life."

I hope you'll read the devotional thoughts I wrote on the Stampin Sisters in Christ Blog today, as these words of our Lord offer a great gift to all who will receive it! Don't you love the word pictures Jesus used? Water.... it symbolizes cleansing, refreshment, and is an absolute necessity for life! Without it we would die! Without the spiritual water Jesus offers, we will surely die spiritually!

My challenge to you this week is to create a card or project that refers to water in some way, whether in image or sentiment.

I used the Sept. release from Our Daily Bread designs "Never Thirst" for my water pump image, and last month's Harvest Blessings and Die Cut for the sunflower images I placed around the pump. The images are colored with Copics. I absolutely LOVE how easily the die cut all these flowers out in seconds and they all popped right out perfectly! Wow! What a time saver! I mounted my images on a lattice panel I cut with a Martha Stewart mega lattice edge punch. I lined it up and cut it from both sides. I then cut another one from tan bazzill as a shadow effect. My verse is stamped with Memento and cut out, sponged with TH Distress Ink in Pumice Stone, then adhered to a Spellbinder's Fancy Label cut from Papertrey Dark Chocolate CS. My card base is Papertrey, then matted with Bazzill and the designer paper is Me & My Big Ideas. The twine is May Arts.

A little birdie told me....

This is a flip card and this is the front:

Hello everyone! It's Sunday and time for another Stampin Sisters in Christ challenge! Today's hostess is Randi Barrett. If you don't know Randi, I highly recommend you start visiting her blog and getting to know her, because she will bless your heart! Randi has been through many serious health issues, and is presently awaiting results of tests again. For all of us who have been there... we know that waiting to find out what's going on and what the treatment will be is in many ways the hardest part! It's hard not to be just a wee bit anxious... but Randi has this incredible sense of humor that I believe is a gift from God! She is so grounded in God's Word that she does not worry about tomorrow, for her future is sure! But for today... she will lighten any room she is in with her strong Christian testimony and her ability to make us laugh every time!

So given her sense of humor, it is no surprise that Randi chose for today's Scripture:

Proverbs 17:22

"A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones."

The challenge for today is to make a clean humorous card.
When you flip the middle panel, this is the inside message:

If you can't read it, it says "So I ate him. Your secret's safe with me. Happy Birthday!"

I don't have a whole lot of humorous stamps, but I do have a couple of these Repeat Impressions stamp sets which include a two part sentiment designed to go inside and out, or in this case I made a swing card. Trouble is it's a BEAR to photograph!!! I could not get the two parts in one photo you could still read and because it's more or less a Z fold, just the way it stands makes it hard to picture the front. So please forgive the bad photography... but I thought the sentiment was funny. (No I don't think it's funny that cats eat birds...I love birds and that's one of the reasons my cat is an inside only cat! LOL... ) I used a combination of Copics and Prisma Pencils to color my images and I sponged around the outside with Pebbles Pearlescent Chalks. The DP is K&Co by Marcella. I used a couple of tiny punches for the little flowers, and an MS branch edge punch for the green edge.

Our sponsor this week is DeeDee's Digis. Thank you DeeDee!
DeeDee has some of the cutest digi images! Be sure to check out her site and good luck in the drawing!

We'd love to have you play along... if you do, please place a link to the Stampin Sisters in Christ Blog in your post, and place a direct link to your project on the SSIC thread.

It is True! The Lord has Risen!

Hello everyone!
Just a quick post today, but I wanted to give you one more sneak peek at one of the sets being released April 1 at Our Daily Bread designs!  The floral on this card is from a set called Mom.  It's beautiful!  There are 4 fabulous sets coming tomorrow so don't forget to stop by the ODBD blog to have a chance to win some ODBD cash!!!

This card was made for this week's Stampin Sisters in Christ challenge to pop it up, based on Is. 40:31
 "But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint."

The challenge was to mount it up as in paper tole, not just add one layer.  I stamped the largest flower 3 times and popped up various parts for the paper tole effect.

I also used Cross of Christ and The Lord has Risen for this card, both from ODBD.  The DP is  SEI Claire, image is colored with Copics, and I used a SB Frame that I cut down to fit and the SB Label 2 to cut the image panel.  Stickles and ZVA Creative pearls finish it off.  

As you look forward to your Easter celebration, I hope your hearts and minds are focused on just what was accomplished for us on that cross!  Ponder the price the Savior paid, and how much He must value each one of us to do that for us!  Have a blessed Easter!

Two Hearts become One

 

Hello everyone! This card was made for several challenges!  Hope I remembered everything!  I used the Midnight Madness Sketch 40 and the recipe from  Stampin Sisters in Christ 25, which was based on Mark 10:7-9  " 7. For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife.  8. and the two will become one flesh.  So they are no longer two but one.  9. Therefore what God has joined together , let no man separate." NASB

The challenge was that whatever we used, we had to use two of... like if we used designer paper, we were to use two... ribbons?  Use two.  Not as easy as it sounds!

I used 2 designer papers, 2 ribbons, 2 embossing folders, 2 mats, 2 hearts in my image, 2 kinds of stitches... the only thing I used 1 of is the silver heart brad at the top, and that represents the ONE that the 2 have become.  After almost 39 years of marriage I must say you do even start to think as one!  Even when we go to a restaurant we usually end up ordering the same thing!  :)  It is my hope that you can enjoy this kind of union... there's nothing much better!

Anyway... my card is on a base of very vanilla, layered with My Mind's Eye Bella Rose and topped with K&Co Madeline.  My image and matting is all VV and I used 2 Sizzix embossing folders.  The edges of all layers are sponged with Creamy Caramel, and there is zig zag stitching around 3 sides, and straight stitching across the top.  I used a Fiskar punch to create the holes to thread my first ribbon through.  I topped it with a sheer satin edged vanilla ribbon bow.  My image is from Our Daily Bread designs and is called Love One Another.  It is colored with Prisma Pencils and then Shimmerz.  I can't get a good photo of the shimmer but it's there!

I am also entering this in to the following challenges:

Masking out to make a Winter Scene

Hello everyone!  I hope your week is going well!

I was excited to get to play along on the SCS sketch challenge today.  I have had this idea in my head for a while and today was the day I got to try it!  This image is from the Newly Released Our Daily Bread designs set "With Deepest Sympathy".  If you look just 2 posts below you will see the image the way it comes.  There are cat tails in the foreground and a row boat on the opposite shore.  I wanted to make a wintry scene and see if I could make this a Christmas card, so I taped over those elements when I inked my stamp, then removed them and this is what I got.  This is also for the Stampin Sisters in Christ Challenge.... to show nature praising and bringing glory to God!

My image is actually stamped on some glossy paper from the office supply store.  I have used it to water color before so I knew it could be done.  It does require a slightly different technique, in that you don't use as much water and only barely wet your paper first.  You pretty much work in small areas and get it down how you like it before moving on because the paint does not move around as much as it does on water color paper.  That said, I knew I could water color on it and not ruin it at all, so I used my SU! Markers and painted on a variety of blues for an icy effect.  The glossy paper really makes the scene shine.  I mixed a little dazzling diamonds in with Polar White Flower Soft and added that to my trees, banks and a few piles of snow on the dock.  I used my Spell Binders Label 4 to cut the image panel out.  You will be able to see the sparkle and the flower soft if you click the image to enlarge it.

The sketch was from SCS and I did tweak it just a tad.  I used Bazzill as my base, then a layer of glossy cs run through with the snowflake Cuttlebug embossing folder.  I used my Martha Stewart punch to punche the white strip on both sides and then I spritzed all the white layers with Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist in Pearl.  Love that stuff!!!  The blue textured layer is ProvoCraft, also gorgeous!

The ribbon is May Arts and the snowflakes are punched and popped up on dimensionals in a double arrangement.

I hope you like my slightly different take on this stamp.  I just wanted to show the versatility of these images!  Thanks for stopping by!  It means so much to me!

This scene makes me think of Ps. 96:12..."Then all the trees of the woods will rejoice before the Lord".  Having lived in Maine for many years... I can tell you that there is nothing much more beautiful that those gorgeous Hemlocks ladened with crisp pure  white snow!  Heaven and Nature certainly do sing of His glorious works!

Have a wonderful rest of the week!  God bless!

Grace
