Daily Affirmation Card for Erin Lee Creative

There's a lot happening this week at Erin Lee Creative, starting with an early release that goes live today to email subscribers. Tomorrow, it goes live for the rest of the world! So, I'm bringing you a little early inspiration featuring 4 brand new products from ELC. Scroll for details on my "daily affirmation" card.

I wanted to create a "mirror" on my card with a daily affirmation. It's so easy to allow things in our life to consume us and let's face it, there's a lot of bad news on the daily. Maybe you're struggling in some way. Maybe you're down on yourself because you lost your cool with the kids or a co-worker.

Look in the mirror and tell yourself, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me". If you're a person of Faith, then you know how important it is to stay in the Word and not let the things of this world take hold. This card serves as your reminder to look in the mirror daily, speak words of power and lift yourself up with Him who gives you strength! 

I used the frame die from the Vintage Bow Frame die set and new Rose Gold metallic cardstock with my Platinum 6 to create my "mirror". I also traced around my frame die with a pencil on vellum and trimmed along the edges, to use as an overlay for my mirror.

Next, I used my stamp positioner to stamp the sentiment below from the Faith Over Fear stamp set with black hybrid ink. It's very important to allow drying naturally or carefully heat set, making sure not to allow the vellum to buckle under the heat. I chose to air dry. I also used a dark yellow marker to color in the wings on the back side of the vellum to avoid any bleeding of colors.

You can easily smudge ink on vellum before drying so take care!

I was seriously considering heat embossing my sentiment directly on the rose gold cardstock and not having a vellum overlay. However, I was visiting my dad and not at home when I created this card and didn't have access to all my play things, haha! It can also be real tricky photographing metallics so I opted for the vellum overlay this time.

For my background, I used the new Handwriting Hot Foil Plate, Spellbinders Aura foil, and a white A2 sized card panel with my Glimmer machine and Platinum 6. I love the writing font, it's so cool and I can see a lot of great uses for it, making tags for instance.

If you'll notice in my first photo, my lighting was really bright and the Rose Gold, to me, looks a bit pink in that shot. However, you can see the true color in my photo below.  It's sooo gorgeous, let me tell you!

The die cut blooms on my card were trimmed from the ELC Jumbo Wildflower Die. I cut these dies twice, once on white cardstock and once on some colored paper from one of my paper pads. I staggered and adhered my blooms together and popped them up on adhesive foam. I also added some liquid embellishment in the center of the blooms.

I'll have another card to share with you on Oct. 4th for an Instagram blog hop that features products from the new release. Remember, if you click any of the ELC products today, you will not be able to purchase these items until tomorrow. Unless of course, you got the early release link for email subscribers!

I've product clickable affiliate product links below, if you'd like to browse or shop for any of the products that I used today. These are created at no additional cost to you. I appreciate it so much when you use my affiliate links. Thank you!

Have a great day!  Terri

Guest Design Word Art Wednesday Father's Day

I'm thrilled to be guest designing today for Word Art Wednesday.  I've been a fan of this challenge blog for several years and a participant on many occasions.  I'm all about the mission and encouraging message that Word Art Wednesday stands for, as well.  Each week they offer up a new digital scripture that you can print out and use for your own crafting.  It's not required to participate in the challenges but isn't a wonderful thing?  I think so.  Thank you Karen, for asking me to be the guest designer for June!

Today's scripture is from Psalm 1:1 and is so timely, with Father's Day just around the corner.  This verse reminds me so much of my stepdad.  He is one of the Godliest men that I know.  So what does this verse mean?  In a nutshell, my interpretation is, the man who is following Christ and his teachings, walking the walk and talking the talk, will be blessed.  This man is not listening to or being influenced by those who talk, walk or act or speak in a manner not fitting a Christian.  He has friends watching him who are not Christ followers.  What does that mean?  It means, he doesn't want to ruin his testimony by causing someone else to stumble or fall.  In other words, he's upright and a man of integrity and others will know this by his actions.

Of course, as a cardmaker and participant in this card challenge site, I would be remiss if I didn't share some pertinent details about my card.  I've had this collection in my stash for some time and it needed a little more love, so I pulled out "Hey Mister" from My Mind's Eye.  I am also an affiliate for scrapbook.com so I always share affiliate links throughout my posts.  That way, if you see something you like, you don't have to hunt it down on the webosphere!

My Minds Eye - Hey Mister Collection - 12 x 12 Paper and Accessories Kit - $10.79

from: Scrapbook.com

This masculine themed collection fit so well with today's scripture.  It's always a bonus when everything comes together on a project.  I'm using diecuts, paper, puffy stickers (out of stock) and more for my A2 sized card.  You'll find links to most of  the products below.   All my adhesives are from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L.  I've also done a bit of gold foiling on one of the diecut flags.  The word stickers are from Tim Holtz Big Chat stickers.

Don't forget to link up to this bi-weekly challenge!  You'll find a link to the site, here.  There's always a prize or two up for grabs and I believe Lawn Fawn is one of the sponsors for the current challenge.  Good luck!  Thanks so much for stopping in today.  Terri
