Easter Cross card

Good morning everyone!  It's a beautiful day today, the sun is shining, it's stopped raining and tomorrow is a day of celebration.  To me, Easter is a day to celebrate our risen Lord, Jesus Christ, spend time with family and relax a little. 

This stamp came just in the nick of time.  It's called "Saved", from the Unity Stamp Co.  I was so excited when it went on sale, I had to have it.I distressed the first layer of cardstock by doing some sanding and ripping the edges with my Tim Holtz distressing tool.  If you don't have one, you need one!  Love mine.  I did watercolors and white cardstock and tried to make it like like clouds and Sun shining through on the upper right.

I added some Smooch Glitz for sparkle, as you can see in the close-up.  The cross was inked with Tim Holtz brushed corduroy distressed ink and the vine with American Crafts dark green art marker, Bic Mark-it lime pen and white gel pen.

MAY YOU ALL HAVE A JOYOUS EASTER and God bless!!

Dangling Christmas Ornament card

I've always wanted to do one of these.   We've all seen them on Pinterest and other crafting sites and they are so pretty and look easy enough to do.   Plus,  I have a new Christmas stamp I need to break in with a favorite scripture verse, Luke 2:10.


So,  I'm over at my Mothers house where we share a craft room off her garage.   She says I've pretty much taken over the space and she's right.   (At least I share my stuff!)   I came across this ornament stamp that a friend gave me last year,  and went to work.   Sure enough,  it was super quick and easy.   And so pretty!

Christmas card - Away in a Manger

Scripture card...The Lord is my Strength and my Song

This card was made with a stamp from the Unity Stamp Co.  I started out by cutting a piece of jute cord and unraveling it.  Next I stamped red ink on it and pressed it around the edges of a 6x6 card and the centerpiece.

I layered the card with a cut piece of musical scrapbook paper and placed the inked jute cord under the centerpiece which by the way, was embellished with the mini 8 We R Memory Keepers Flourish punch.  I also used some musical stamps from Inkadinkadoo on the side.  Love how it turned out.  Fits in with my musical self as I'm a singer and church musician (Shout out to Heflin Baptist!)
