Our Salvation

 Hello everyone! Welcome back to my blog. Hope you are having a great Thanksgiving break with friends/family. I'm guest designing at Word Art Wednesday this month. Here's my card for this Wednesday (I'm posting it a bit late)

I printed today's verse and die cut it with a oval. Today's verse is about how God blesses us everyday, every minute and every second. I stamped the Altenew - Fresh Freesia with Fadeout ink and colored them with Copics. I fussy cut them out. I also stamped and colored the Altenew - Hope Butterfly. I added some enamel dots from Altenew as finishing touch. The color inspiration is from the current Altenew Inspiration Challenge.

How do you like my card today? Please do let me know. Hope you will join the Word Art Wednesday challenge this week. Thanks for stopping by. Have a great day!

Give Thanks

 Hello everyone! Welcome back to my blog! Today, I'm so excited to announce that I'm the guest designer of the month at Word Art Wednesday.

The scripture for this week is Psalms 75:1. This verse is about giving thanks to the Lord. It is always right to give thanks to God! I used the arch dies from Scrapbook.com, Honey Bee Stamps - Lovely Layers: Anemone dies and the background embossing folder is from Craftwell. I used copics to color the die cute flower layers. I'm so grateful for this opportunity to guest design for WAW.

 Hello everyone! Altenew is releasing a bunch of 3D Embossing Folders in the Summer Love Collections Release today and I'm so happy to introduce them to you! Once again, I'm excited to be a part of this blog hop with so many talented designers!

I have 2 cards for today's blog hop.

The first card uses Sunshine Blossoms 3D Embossing Folder. I embossed a piece of water color card stock with this embossing folder and colored the image with watercolor pens. I love how the no-line coloring easier to achieve with the 3D embossing folder. I added the Fancy Hello as the sentiment on the card and finished it with a few black sequins.

For the second card, I used the Geo Triangles 3D Embossing Folder and the coordinating stencil set. I chose the 4 ink colors to do this. The stencil makes it so easier to make this colorful card. I added Fancy Hello as sentiment.

Altenew July 2022 Summer Sunshine Collection Release Blog Hop + Giveaway ($300 in total prizes)

 Hello everyone! I'm so excited to be a part of the Altenew July Release blog hop today. Today Altenew is releasing some beautiful crafty products for us. I'm so happy to be a guest designer for this blog hop.

There are so many beautiful stamps, dies, stencils, embossing folders and hot foil plates. This release has a variety of designs to choose from. As always, Altenew has a lot of giveaway with this blog hop. Be sure to read through to the end to see more about the giveaways.

I have made 4 cards for today's blog hop.

The first one uses the Monstera Frame 3D Embossing Folder and the Monstera and Quotes Stamp set. I colored the Monstera leaves with alcohol markers and added the sentiment in the center. I embossed a piece of brown card stock with Deck Planks 3D Embossing Folder and adhered the monstera frame on to it. Even though it's not very visible, I think it adds a nice touch to the card.

Next card uses the Summer Wishes Stamp Set. It's so versatile! I decided to use the shells and starfish on my card. I stamped, colored and fussy cut them. For the background, I took a piece of white cardstock, embossed it with Ribbon Waves 3D Embossing Folder and inked it with light blue ink. I inked a small piece of white card stock with sand colored ink. I adhered the background panels, the shells and starfish on to the card base. I stamped the sentiment and finished off with a few tiny pearls.

I have used the Linear Life: Tropical Garden Stamp Set for my next card. I stamped the flowers, colored them with alcohol markers and fussy cut them to make this card. I used the Woven Stencil to add a little color to the card base first. Then I adhered the flowers and leaves on to it. I stamped the sentiment using white ink on black card stock. I added a few sequins for a final touch.

For my final card, I have used the Mosaic Diamonds stamp set. This is a beautiful set, that can be used for quick cards like this, or used as a background in other cards. I die cut the sentiment using the Fancy Thanks die and added it on to the card, along with a few sequins.
