Sunflower Seasons

 

Hi Friends!

Today I am sharing a quick fall card designed with the Sunflower Season Bundle and the Pastor & Ministry Appreciation Scripture stamp set along with lace, paper and other supplies- all from Stamp Simply!

To create this card:

Trim a piece of the Wood Textures 6x6 paper to approx. 4” x 5 ¼”.

De-static the wood textures paper with an embossing powder tool, ink the sentiment from Pastor & Ministry Appreciation Scripture stamp set with Versafine Black Onyx ink, apply clear embossing powder and heat set with a heat tool.

Once the embossing powder has cooled, mount the panel onto a piece of chocolate cardstock, trim close to the edge.

Add a strip of Venise Lace and adhere a piece of the chocolate pleated ribbon (wrapping the ends of the ribbon behind the ends behind the panel).

Mount the entire panel onto a white card base.

Adhere a 1” x 5 ¼” strip of the wood texture designer paper to the inside of the card base (I like to do this to use up some of the scraps).

De-static a piece of white cardstock with an embossing powder tool, ink the sunflower image with Versafine Black Onyx ink, stamp onto the prepared cardstock, apply clear embossing powder and heat set with a heat tool.

Once the embossing has cooled, watercolor the flower image with water-based markers and distress inks.

Use the coordinating Sunflower Season die to die cut the sunflower (also die cut another image from white cardstock to layer behind the colored image).

Mount the sunflower image to the card front with dimensional foam.

Add a few bronze rhinestones to the upper right hand corner to finish off the card.

I enjoy playing along with online challenges and will be linking this card to the Word Art Wednesday #661-#662 Anything Goes Challenge .

Hi Friends!

This week at the Stamp Simply blog, the Stamp Simply Design Team have been sharing Appreciation cards for our all types of personnel in service, whether it be our Military, Pastors, Elders, Deaconesses, Teachers, etc.

October is traditionally Pastor Appreciation Month and I decided to create a card for one of our Pastors using stamps, papers, dies and other accessories all from Stamp Simply.

If you have not had a chance to check out my Sister DT cards yet, I hope you will do so- such wonderful inspiration from all!

To create this card:

Trim two pieces of the Sunset ink drops paper to approx. 2 ¼” square and mount onto gold mirror cardstock. Trim close to the edge. 

De-static another piece of the Sunset ink drops paper with an embossing powder tool, ink the verse sentiment from the Pastor & Ministry Appreciation Scripture with Versamark ink, apply gold embossing powder and heat set with a heat tool.

Once the embossing cools, trim the sentiment panel and mount onto gold mirror cardstock (trimming close to the edge).

Emboss a piece of kraft cardstock with the Tree Rings embossing folder, mount onto a white card base. 

Directly mount the first two squares on an angle onto the card front and add the sentiment panel with dimensional foam.

Die cut several leaves using the TH Skeleton Leaves Dies from gold mirror cardstock. Adhere the die cut leaves to finish off the card.

I enjoy playing along with online challenges and will be linking this card to the Word Art Wednesday #611-#612 Anything Goes Challenge.

I Will Give You Shepherds

Hi Friends!

I designed this fall Pastor Appreciation card using Give Thanks Bundle and the Pastor & Ministry Appreciation Sentiments stamp set plus other supplies from Stamp Simply.

I love all of the fall colors here in the Northeast and especially love the change of the seasons in this area.  I wanted to participate with a few online challenges and will be linking this card to the following challenges: 

Alphabet Challenge “L is for Leaves”

Hand Stamped Sentiments  #HSSSIC397  Inspiration Challenge- I was inspired by the fall scene

Simon Wednesday “Stamp It” Challenge- the leaves and sentiment are stamped on this card

Word Art Wednesday #559-#560 “Anything Goes” Challenge

If you have not already had a chance to do so, I hope you visit the Stamp Simply blog to see all of the inspiration from the rest of the SS Design Team as well as the other challenge galleries- gorgeous galleries from all!

To create this card:

De-static the top right hand area of a 4” x 5 ¼” piece of the Craft Consortium Brick Textures 6x6 paper pad with an embossing powder tool, stamp the verse from Pastor & Ministry Appreciation Stamp Set with Versafine Onyx Black ink, apply clear embossing powder and heat set with a heat tool.

Distress the edges, mount onto a piece of tangerine cardstock and trim close to the edge.

Add a strip of rust seam binding, wrapping the ends behind the panel. 

Add three strips of Natural Burlap String, wrapping the ends behind the panel and mount onto a piece of white cardstock (trim close to the edge).

Add the layered panel to a piece of espresso cardstock and mount onto a white card base.

Ink the leaf/acorn image from the Give Thanks Bundle with Versafine Onyx Black ink, stamp onto a piece of white cardstock,  apply clear embossing powder and heat set with a heat tool.  Repeat this process for the second leaf image.

Once the embossing has cooled, watercolor with water-based markers and die cut with the coordinating die (also die cut several more leaves from white cardstock to layer behind the colored images to create a thicker layer).

Adhere the leaves to the card front using dimensional foam to finish off the card.
