Faith Quote Blocks

Hi Friends!

This is the second card I created this weekend with the Faith Quote Blocks Clear Stamp Set (designed by NinaB Designs) available from Sweet ‘n Sassy Stamps (see this post for my first card using the same stamp set and layout). 

I decided to use Tim Holtz® Distress Oxide Inks for the background panel as well as the smaller strip of designer paper and I also used the Freshly Made Sketches  #306 Sketch Challenge for the layout for the design.

If you have not had a chance to visit the above challenge sites or the SNSS Blog/FB Page yet, I encourage you to do so- gorgeous inspiration from all!

To create this card:

1). Tap a bit of twisted citron distress oxide ink onto a craft mat, spritz with water, lay a piece of white cardstock into the ink, lift up and dry with a heat tool.  Repeat the process layering worn lipstick and peacock feathers distress oxide ink until you achieve the desired result.

 

2). De-static the panel with an embossing powder tool, stamp the verse image from Faith Quote Blocks with Versafine™ Onyx Black Ink onto the panel, apply clear embossing powder and heat set with a heat tool.  Once the embossing has cooled, trim the panel and mount onto a piece of black cardstock.

3). Trim the vertical panels of the sketch from coordinating pieces of designer paper, apply a bit of peacock feathers oxide ink onto the pink gingham layer, dry with a heat tool and mount both panels onto black cardstock (trimming closet to the cut edges). 

4). Mount the vertical strips onto a white card base, add strips of washi tape to the right hand panel and mount the embossed focal image panel onto the card front with dimensional foam.

5). Add a few drops of Nuvo™ Gloss Black Crystals Drops to finish off the card.

Ps 34:8 Taste and See

Hi Friends!

This is the first card of two that I used the Freshly Made Sketches #306 Sketch Challenge for the layout and I am also participating with the Double D “Sentiments/Quotes” Challenge and the Word Art Wednesday #300-#301 “Anything Goes” Challenge for this design.

If you have not had a chance to visit the above challenge sites or the SNSS Blog/FB Page yet, I encourage you to do so- gorgeous inspiration from all!

To create this card:

1). Ink the Psalm 34:8 image from Faith Quote Blocks with Versafine™ Onyx Black Ink, stamp onto a piece of green designer paper, apply clear embossing powder and heat set with a heat tool.  Once the embossing has cooled, trim the panel and mount onto a piece of espresso cardstock.

2). Trim the vertical panels of the sketch from coordinating pieces of designer paper, mount onto espresso cardstock and trim close to the edge.

3). Emboss a piece of sahara cardstock, trim the panel, mount onto espresso cardstock and adhere to a white card base.  Add the vertical layered panels and mount the sentiment with dimensional foam.

Refuge in Him

Hi Friends!

This card was designed using the Creative Worship Clear Stamp Sets, Faith Quote Blocks (NinaB Designs) and His Wings (Korin Sutherland) from Sweet ‘n Sassy Stamps.  I love the images in both of these sets- perfect for cards, Bible Art Journaling, home décor as well as scrapbooking and other crafts.

 I used the layout from the Freshly Made Sketches #303 Sketch Challenge for the design along with the Curtain Call 09/01 “Dreamcatcher” Inspiration  Challenge for the colors and theme.  I am also linking to the Word Art Wednesday #298-#299 “Anything Goes” Challenge.

If you have not had a chance to visit the above challenge sites or the SNSS Blog/FB Page yet, I encourage you to do so- gorgeous inspiration from all!

To create this card:

1). For the background- tap Tim Holtz® Worn Lipstick and Hickory Smoke Distress Ink onto a silicone mat, lightly spritz with water, press a piece of vanilla cardstock into the ink, lift up and dry the ink with a heat tool.

2). Once the panel has thoroughly dried, ink the Faith Quote Blocks images with Versafine™ Onyx Black Ink, stamp onto the panel, apply clear embossing powder and heat set with the heat tool.  Trim the panel and mount onto gray cardstock, trim again and mount onto a white card base.

3). Ink the feather images and the bird image from His Wings with Versafine™ Onyx Black Ink, stamp onto vanilla cardstock, heat emboss with clear embossing powder and once the embossing has cooled, fussy-cut the feathers.  For the lighter colored feather, apply Worn Lipstick and Vintage Photo Distress Ink onto vanilla cardstock, ink the solid feather from His Wings with Versamark™ ink, heat emboss with clear embossing powder and once cooled, fussy cut the image.

4). Emboss a piece of woodgrain designer paper with a woodgrain folder, apply diluted white acrylic paint over the embossing with a paint brush, trim and mount onto black cardstock.

5). Add strips of polished hemp twine, layer the fussy-cut feathers, add the twine bow and antique brad.  Mount the woodgrain panel onto the card front and mount the bird with dimensional foam to finish off the card.

SC619 Faith, Love and Hope

Hi Friends!

I hope all of you are having a great week so far!  It’s time for the new Splitcoaststampers’ SC619 Sketch Challenge and I decided to incorporate the SCS TLC612 “Sentiment Backgrounds” Challenge as well the Sunday Stamps SSC139 “Autumn Splendor” Challenge.

If you have not already visited the above challenge sites yet, I hope you will have a chance to do so- fabulous inspiration from my DT Sisters at the SCS Sketch Gallery as well as the other challenge sites!

To create this card:

Ink the Sweet ‘n Sassy Stamps Faith Quote Blocks Clear Stamp image with aged maghogany distress ink and stamp repeatedly onto a piece of crumb cake cardstock (I used my MISTI® Tool for placement of the images).

 

Cut a piece of designer paper (I used one from my stash) on an angle for the sketch, adhere with just a bit of adhesive to keep the paper in place onto the kraft background.

Use a zig zag stitch on a sewing machine to adhere the layers, mount onto a piece of Dijon cardstock , trim and use the sewing machine to mount onto a piece of burgundy cardstock.

Mount the entire panel onto the white card base.

Ink and stamp the sunflower images from SNSS Prim Blessings Clear Stamp Set with embossing ink onto white cardstock, apply black embossing powder and heat set with a heat tool.

Once cooled, color the images with a water brush and distress ink- I used Wild Honey, Ground Espresso and Walnut Stain and added additional shadows to the sunflower petals with a Stampin’ Write Delightful Dijon marker (blending with the water brush).

Fussy cut the images, split the one large sunflower for the sketch element and mount onto the card front ( I used hot glue to adhere the flowers- they are not going anywhere, lol!).

Ink the sentiment from the SNSS Prim Blessings Clear Stamp Set with archival black ink a and stamp onto kraft cardstock.

Create the banner points (I used a hexagon punch), mount onto burgundy cardstock and add to the card front with dimensional foam.

Color the little hearts with a burgundy marker and add the burgundy twine with the Dijon button to finish off the card.

Stamp Sets:  Prim Blessings, Faith Block Quotes (Sweet ‘n Sassy Stamps)

Faith Quote Blocks- Great Hearts by Great Troubles

Hi Friends! 

We are continuing to celebrate the 9th Birthday at Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps and I hope you are able to stop by the Sweet ‘n Sassy Stamps blog for additional inspiration and the SNSS Facebook page to check out the daily and weekly specials in honor of the celebration! 

Today I am sharing another card with the new November Release set, Faith Quote Blocks Clear Stamp Set (designed by NinaB Designs)  along with the previously released SNSS Decorative Frames Clear Stamp Set on the SNSS Blog and wanted to share it with you as well.

Since my card uses more than two mediums, I consider it a Clean and Simple (CAS) or Clean and Layered (CAL) Mixed Media card and trust me, it was fairly simple to create. 

Also, one of my very favorite online challenge sites, Pals Paper Arts decided to close their challenge site (I am truly going to miss the inspiration from these talented designers), so I searched online for a few new challenges and decided to incorporate this week's Match The Sketch#149 Challenge  :-)).

I loved this sketch as well as their wonderful Design Team and gallery of entries and hope to play along again soon!

To create this card:

Emboss a piece of white cardstock with a heart patterned embossing folder, trim and mount onto a piece of black cardstock.

Mount the small scrap of black cardstock (per the sketch) onto the card base and add the strip of 5/8” black satin ribbon along with the 3/8” black and white gingham ribbon (wrapping the ribbon ends behind the panel).

Add the layered decorative kraft patterned paper panel onto the card front and mount the entire card front onto the white card base.

Stamp the SNSS Decorative Frames Clear Stamp image with Versamark™ ink onto a piece of black cardstock (don’t forget to de-static with an Embossing Buddy® first), apply white embossing powder and heat set with a heat tool.

Once the embossing powder has cooled, position the SNSS Faith Quote Blocks image into the center of the frame, stamp with Versamark™ ink, apply heat emboss with white embossing powder, once cooled fussy-cut the image and apply white craft ink to mimic chalk dust (I used my finger).

Create the rolled flowers from rust cardstock (I already had these in my stash ready to go) and add to the card front along with the leaves.

Use a clear glitter pen to add shimmer to the roses to finish off the card.
