Faith Journal Week 3 Hebrews 11-1

Happy Sunday crafty friends,
I missed last week’s faith journal post, so I want to catch up this week by sharing week 3 and then tomorrow I will share week 4.

So for week 3, the 15th through the 21st, our scripture reading was Hebrews 11.  This truly is one of my all time favorite passages. It is filled with such hope, inspiration and encouragement!  Here is my art page.

Here’s a look at what I created for this week. I started with a base of patterned paper from the DCWV Butterfly Garden Stack. I used a couple different pages from the stack. I fussy cut the label and layered it onto the butterfly paper.


Here’s a look at the little butterflies I added. I used a Martha Stewart punch and some of the Butterfly Garden Paper. I added some sparkle using my Spectrum Noir Glitter Marker Pen.


Here’s one of the other butterfly punches I used. I wanted a variety of butterflies.


Here’s a closer look at the digital image I made. I inked the edges of it to knock back the starkness of the white.


Here’s a closer look at the green butterfly. I used my Martha Stewart punch and then also used my Spectrum Noir Glitter pen to add a little sparkle.

Here’s one last look at my completed page. 

Supplies Used

DCWV Butterfly Garden and Pazzles Floral and Gold Birthday Card

Hello crafty friends,

So glad you stopped by!
Side note: This was supposed to post yesterday but apparently I didn't set it up right. So sorry about that. Please bare with me as I shake the dust off my blogging skills...lol!

Today I am sharing a pretty, floral, soft pink and gold card I created.

Here’s a look at my completed card. The finished size is 5x6.5. I started by using a file set I created exclusively for the Pazzles Craft Room. If you are a member of the craft room then you can download this for free as part of your membership. If not, you may want to consider joining. All of their files are in SVG format so they will work on most craft cutters and not just the Pazzles!

Pazzles Craft Room Exclusive SVG Card Cut File

Here’s a closer look at the different layers. The papers are from the DCWV Butterfly Garden Stack. The rest of the paper is white cardstock.  This shot also shows how I used some foam tape underneath the layers to give them a little lift. Like one of the designers I follow says, “When in doubt….pop it out”!

You can see in this photo, my flowers and leaves all started as plain white cardstock. I inked the edges of them to add just a touch of soft color. I used the Martha Stewart Chalk inks pad set.  For the center die cut, I used my CTMH Slate ink pad and a sentiment from a retired CTMH stamp set to stamp the sentiment. I also inked the edge of the die cut with more of the light pink ink from the Martha Stewart Chalk Inks. You can see I added a couple of pearl stickers from Paper Studio.

For the centers of the flowers, I used some Tsukineko Galaxy Gold ink to ink the little die cut and then used a gold sequin and a little dot of Bisque liquid pearls.  For the corner die cut, I used the same Tsukineko Galaxy Gold ink pad as it was also cut in plain white cardstock.

Here is one last look at the completed card. I hope my recipient will like it.

Springs Of Living Water Pazzles Craft Room Layout and Card

Hello crafty friends, 
Today I am sharing a layout I created with a spring theme for my Pazzles Design Team. I know so many can't wait for spring to get here. It has been a long, cold winter. So I made this layout with my brother and sister in law in mind. They recently moved up north and have endured leaving behind sunshine and flip flops to one of the harshest and coldest winters in recent memory. :-(

I cut the flowers and leaves and inked their edges for a little dimension. I like laying out everything in my software before I cut and or cut and print so I know exactly what size everything needs to be. I used the beautiful DCWV Butterfly Garden paper for the background. That one piece of paper really adds so much life to the background. I love that some of the papers in each stack are like this. Perfect really! I used the following Pazzles craft room files.

Frame With Oval And Lattice 
Spring Tulips
Spring Daffodils
Tulip Flourish
Fancy Circle Frame

I then used my software to type set the scriptures as well as the title. I printed them out and then cut them with my pazzles. I was even able to lay out my picture and save ink by using my software to layout an oval and a white mat around the picture so that when I printed out the picture only the oval part of the picture would actually print. 

Here’s a screen shot to show you what I mean. I simply made the “grey” frame all white when printing. I made it gray in this screen shot to show you.

Here’s what it looked like when I was ready to print.

Here's a closer look at the pretty flowers. I cut them and then inked them with the various inks in the Adventure ink pad set from Close To My Heart.

Here’s a closer look at the title. I simply set the words in a circle and then did a print n’ cut in my pazzles….easy peasy

Here is a closer look at one of the two scriptures. I used the Tulip flourish file. I did weld some of the pieces together from the original file so that it would cut in one continuous piece. I wanted to use the file this way and the separated pieces wouldn't have worked.

In case you can’t read the scripture. I used Isaiah 58:11

And the Lord will continually guide you, 

And satisfy your desire in scorched places, 

And give strength to your bones; 

And you will be like a watered garden, 

And like a spring of water whose waters do not fail.

Here is the second scripture I used: Jeremiah 33:15

In those days and at that time I will cause a righteous Branch of David to spring forth; and He shall execute justice and righteousness on the earth.

Personal note: I used these scriptures because they spoke so strongly about my beloved brother and his family. As I said before, they recently moved to a different part of the country and it has been such a change. I miss them being around the corner so as I was creating this layout, I thought these two scriptures really speak of them and their lives. So to Dave and Tanya, I sure do miss you and the family  (big puddle of tears under the happy face).

Misc. Ribbon for card below.

As I was cutting out all of my flower pieces, I had plenty of extra pieces, so I decided to create this card

Once again I used some of the same pretty DCWV Butterfly Garden paper stack for the background. I used some kraft paper for the base and then did the same inking on the various flower pieces. I finished off the bottom with some pretty lavender iridescent ribbon and a little pearl in the center. There is no sentiment on this yet because I wasn’t sure what I would be using it for….Passover, general hello or for a possible spring birthday card…anyway…waste not want not so it is ready to go

Lastly, I wanted to share the scriptures and title I made. The download includes each one in 300 dpi jpg format.

DCWV March Stackaholic Challenge Card AND Freebies!

Hello crafty friends,

Hope you are having a great day and wrapping up your week. Today I am sharing a card I made for the DCWV Die Cuts With A View Monthly Stackaholic Challenge. Each month they have a challenge and typically feature a card and layout sketch. I shared my layout project for this month: HERE. Today I am sharing my card challenge plus I am sharing a couple of freebies! So let’s get started.

Here’s a look at my card. I used a Pazzles Craft Room FREEBIE (SEE LINK BELOW)from the Miss Kate’s Cuttables collection. I took the scallop base, welded two together to create the card base. Cut that out of some Kraft paper from Hobby Lobby The Paper Studio. I followed the sketch provided by the challenge. I used some pretty patterned papers from the DCWV Die Cuts With A View Butterfly Garden Stack.

Next, I made a Print N’ Cut file with the sentiment and flower. It was my first attempt at a print n’ cut file and I think it came out pretty good. I added a couple of tiny brads on each end of the sentiment strip. I added a cute button with some twine to the center of the flower. I inked the edges of all my paper layers and added some pop dots to the different layers to give them a nice staggered look with some depth. Finally I added some pearl embellishments to the outer edge.

Here is one more look at my card.
