Hats Off To You!

Hello Blog Friends!

 

It's time for "Timeless Tuesdays" over at Flourishes! And I just HAD TO join in! 

Our daughter is GRADUATING from High School so, it was time to make her a special congratulatory card & make some announcements to go off in the mail too! Seeing that we home school, you can find places to do the announcements but, I like to do my own!

 The challenge? BLACK ACCENTS!

How easy is that?  If you want to join in, check here for all the details:

http://flourishes.org/2013/05/timeless-tuesday-black-accents/#comments

The deadline is Monday, 6 p.m.

 

Here is my Graduation Announcement for our daughter, OF COURSE made with a Flourishes Stamp Set, Hats Off To You!
 

(I've covered up areas that are personal.)

The "main image" is all the information! I typed it out on the computer, choosing the font I wanted & the size. Then I added my "accents!" The accent is the Flourish Silhouette of a Graduate! I'm not sure if you can see the embossing I did on either side of the card. Just a couple of stripes.  And beside the card is my matching envelope! I love this little mortar board!

This is the inside! If you look closely, you can see slits---this will hold our daughters photo!  

 

Next, I needed to make our daughter a card of Congratulations from us! I made our son one of these when he graduated from High School & he loved it! Take a look:

It looks like a little book! Notice the Black Accents? The binding, the "bookmark ribbon," & the scalloped circle behind the cover image.

Inside: Black Accents on the cover of the mini-card inside. Gold ink for the sentiment, also in this set.

Notice the little card, with the picture of a "college" building & another sentiment?  (From the same set.) This card will act as a "Gift Card!" Here is the other side:

I wrote out what I wanted it to say & used Jolee's Stickers. A close-up of  the little pocket that holds the card:

Another sentiment with this set! And another "accent in black"- a mortar board image!

The inside of the mini- card that fits right inside this little "book." I LOVE this saying by Corrie Ten Boom, "Never be afraid to trust an unknown future to a known God---!" HOW TRUE IT IS!!!! (Printed from the computer.) More black accent- the matting around the sentiment!

Another look at the outside.

A close- up of the front. I used pointillism to make the image pop! ( The white mortar board & diploma would have faded into the background... White is reserved for females!) Another mortar board & diploma from the same set! ( AND this set has MORE IMAGES!)

I popped the image up on dimensionals. 

The binding! I embossed it with a Cuddle-bug Embossing folder- Argyle & rubbed gold ink over it, which makes the Argyle pattern pop.

 

I made my own template for this but, for help with making your own check out Betsy Veldman's blog here:

HOPE to see you over at Flourishes!

Summer Lovin' Challenge!

Hi Blog Friends!

The weather here is GORGEOUS!!!!! The grass is SOOO GREEN! The trees have buds that are red & some trees have blossoms on them! SPRING IS HERE!

 

 BUT, Summer is ON THE WAY! To not have to layer up in  thick clothes, be cold or slip on ice when you step out, SUMMER is WONDERFUL! Warmth that just penetrates! Bright sunshine, flowers,  birds that sing, & butterflies that flitter through the air without a care in the world! (Except for a cat or two around here!)

Of course, as a child summer was ALWAYS my FAVORITE SEASON! NO SCHOOL! Carefree play of riding my bike around the block & chattering with my girlfriends gleefully!

 

In honor of "Summer" Flourishes is having a "Summer Lovin' Challenge!"

You can use the color palette or create with summer in mind!That's pretty EASY! And of course, if you use Flourishes images, you get double the points! Well, Flourishes Images are AMAZING! So, I'd check them out, even if you can't get in on this challenge! There's ALWAYS something SUPER FUN going on over at Flourishes!

Matter-a-fact, they're even looking for someone to join their DESIGN TEAM! Check out all the details here: http://flourishes.org/2013/03/some-exciting-news/#comments

DO go over & check it out! YOU might be one of the next Designers for Flourishes! EXCITING!!!!

 

OK! Back to the challenge! (Just thought you might like to know that little special tid-bit of information!)

For the Summer Challenge, I created a few cards that I HOPE you'll like! Like I said, Flourishes Images are AMAZING!!!!!!!! Take a look!

This card is in honor of the FLOWERS & BUTTERFLIES! I absolutely LOVE Clematis flowers! Purple in particular! Notice the butterfly, I popped it up on dimensionals for a special little touch!

What do you think? I wanted a darker background with the teal colored paper & used black embossing power, heat set it & then used bleach in a water color brush to lighten the paper. Then using Gelatos- Pistachio, Lavender, Mango & Lemon I added color! For the smaller areas I used a smudge stick to add color. For the image to REALLY POP, I used a Pitt Artist Pen-white & used the technique of Pointillism. I LOVE how it came out! (Flourishes Image: Clematis & Butterflies)

For the inside:

The verse is BEAUTIFUL & I just used a smaller flower image from the same set!

 

This is my next card! Taking Inspiration from the colors in the "Inspiration Photo" above. I'm USUALLY not too good at doing Silhouette images but, I was DETERMINED! You don't know HOW MANY TIMES, I stamped this image but, didn't like what I was doing with it! BUT, my persistence paid off! I used Versa-Mark & added a pastel pink Embossing powder & heat set. Then using Gelatos- Bubble Gum & Guava; I rubbed the gelatos, starting with Bubble Gum, over the image & then rubbed with my finger outward spreading the color, filling in the outer area with Guava. The printed paper is by DCWV- The Spring Fling & Summer Days Combo Stack. I thought the print looked like a little girls dress. I also added Liquid pearls in Platinum Pearl for the little gray stripes in the Inspiration picture. The green color IS there, just not as evident! This one came out making me think of a Cameo! ( Flourishes Image- Sweet Days of Summer) 

Here is the inside, simply done!

 

My next card was PURE FUN thinking of the days when our kids were little & enjoyed summer fun! Water play was ALWAYS FUN! AND YES, pop-sickle's too! Just like this little boy, active & all into this activity, so was our son. A little timid & not quite wanting that water in her face as this little girl seems, so was our daughter! AND PROBABLY, this little boy liked to be the one to SPLASH THE WATER IN HIS SISTER'S FACE TOO! JUST LIKE OUR SON! Life is DEFINITELY MORE FUN WITH KIDS! (What will we do when the "empty nest" comes?)

The papers used were from the same pack I used above. I saw that blue sky with the clouds & KNEW it was PERFECT for this image! I used  Gelatos- Lime & Green Tea to "ground" the image!

My card needed just a little something to make it "finished!" So, I made a TEENY-TINY pin-wheel, One Inch! Have you ever tried to make one that small??? Well, good glue wouldn't hold it & the paper would rip & fall apart in the middle, so I made a flat one & placed a SU- Clear Button on top to protect it! (Flourishes Image- Sweet Days of Summer)  

 

That's it for me today! I AM looking forward to SUMMER! How about YOU? Any "SPECIAL" PLANS??? HOPE you get in on all the "SUMMER FUN" over at Flourishes! See you there!

 

"And I will cause showers to come down in their season; there shall be showers of blessing."

Ezekiel 34:26

 

Looking forward to  SUMMER FUN!

"IN HIS PRESENCE"

Hi Blog Friends!

 

Well, I have been contemplating this blog post for awhile & it just seems TIME to go ahead & post...Isn't it when we're going through those times when we feel squeezed that we turn more to Christ than other times? It's a "REFINING FIRE!" "Behold, I have refined you, but not as silver; I have tested you in the furnace of affliction." Isaiah 48:10. We're going through a time of "squeezing"/ "refining" right now! Yesterday, I was feeling frazzled! But, just like our loving Savior, He sends us little hugs all along the way! A friend who listens & says she'll pray for you, to the Scriptures you read that day that speak to your heart, to your husband telling you everything will be "OK!"

 

So, I thought I'd share with you something I've worked on that will aid in your relationship with our Beloved Savior! Something that will aid you in your walk with Christ & minister to you everyday! And  in your times of need!

I created a Prayer Journal, take a look:

Read that Scripture! "He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of The Almighty." Psalm 91:1. I don't know about you but, that Scripture just BLESSES my soul especially with everything we're going through right now! Reaffirming, if  I spend my time IN HIS WORD, I will "REST!" There is peace in HIS PRESENCE! (ODB- Scripture Collection 2; gotta get more of these!)

This Scripture, I wrote out on a tag. This Scripture telling me, He will guide me & give me joy & what the blessings will be!

I couldn't create a prayer journal without adding my FAVORITE VERSE! Just in case you can't read it, "Oh how happy is the woman who believes in God, for his promises to her come true." Luke 1:45. I discovered this verse as a young girl attending  a Teen Challenge Graduation Banquet, it was on the program. As a young girl who saw her need of her Heavenly Father in many ways; coming from a broken home & being broken  hearted because of it, this verse spoke VOLUMES to me!

"Lord,, I have loved the habitation of they house, & the place where thine honour dwelleth." Psalm 26:8

Yes, when things are quiet & peaceful with no worries and when things are going crazy around me, I LOVE to dwell in the presence of my Lord! Whether it be in His house or here in my house, HE IS MOST WELCOME!

Many times, we as Christians get side-tracked, whether we're going through something at the time or not, & when we THINK we're doing the right things, we aren't! We NEED Christ to lead us in His Truth & teach us! God gave us HIS GIFT of Salvation through the blood of His Son, Jesus Christ. The very thing we celebrated this past Easter! The Resurrection of Jesus! We have life in Him because of His Sacrifice on the Cross & His power over death! YES, I will wait ALL DAY  to be in His presence, for Him to lead me & teach me!

"Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, & he shall strengthen thine heart: wait I say on the Lord." Psalm 27:14.

Many people when faced with what we're going through just walk away from it all! But, in these times & what we're going through, a man whose heart loves righteousness, MUST STAND UP to those things that would make men's hearts faint! Waiting on the Lord, HE WILL GIVE US COURAGE! HE WILL STRENGTHEN OUR HEARTS! All we need do is WAIT ON THE LORD!  (NOTICE: TWICE, this verse said to "Wait on the Lord!" This tells me it's VERY IMPORTANT, TO WAIT! Meaning, stay put on your knees till He speaks to you!)

This is the front of my Prayer Journal. I gave it the Title: "IN HIS PRESENCE."

I added the Title to the binding too.

 

The INSIDE is done according to the book, Lord, I'm Listening, by Donna Leonard. Along with a few of my own ideas.

 

I KNOW many of you may also be going through "things" that are difficult right now.  Find your peace in Him! Stay on your knees! Stay IN HIS PRESENCE! HE IS FAITHFUL!!!!!!!!!

 

When all the world around you is crashing down....

Stand firm in The One who holds the world together!

Stand in His shadow--let His presence fill you!

For He loves you like no other!

Jesus Christ, The Savior of the world!

 

Standing IN HIS PRESENCE!

HAPPY EASTER!

Hi Blog Friends!

 

Thought I'd pop in here & wish EVERYONE a "HAPPY EASTER!"

 

Here is the Easter Card I sent out this year to my friends! A little CAS! (SO MANY things going on!)

 

"I go & prepare a place for you. I will come back & take you to be with Me so you may also be where I am." John 14:3.

 

This is our HOPE as Christians! NOTHING that happens to us can take this BLESSED HOPE from us! For we serve a God that KEEPS HIS WORD!

 

"HAPPY EASTER!"

TLady

 

This card was made with: Memento Black Ink,  CHF Modern Cross, ODB Scripture Collection 2, VersaMark & Pebbles Chalks, Swirl- SU Abundant Hope, Prima-flower, Liquid Pearls-Silver. 

 

 

 

 

 

 



GELATOS MADNESS!!!!!!!!

Hi Blog Friends!

 

Well, I HAVE TO TELL YOU!!!!!!! I AM A HAPPY CRAFTER after winning some GELATOS....!

(Remember my LAST POST?) When they first came out, (I don't remember how long ago it's been...) I WANTED SOME! Hearing everyone talk about them....the  effects they were getting...NOT TO MENTION, I am a person who LOOOOOOOOOVES ART PRODUCTS! (ALWAYS HAVE!)  

I have been playing  with my GELATOS & other Faber Castell goodies & I am IN HEAVEN!!!!!!! AND I'm NOT DONE YET!

 

I needed to make my EASTER CARDS so, I went about playing with the Gelatos I had just won! Here's is my first card, I wanted something RICH & AGED!

What do you think? I chose some rich purple card stock from DCWV- Old World Stack. I embossed it with the Cuddlebug Folder- Tiffany. I sanded the embossed card stock & then went over it with Bubblegum Gelatos! Also using the Pitt Artist Pen- GOLD! (You KNOW how I LOOOOOOOOOVE GOLD on my projects!) 

Can you see BEHIND the main image? I used an old encyclopedia & ripped it in pieces & decoupaged it to the embossed card stock, in the center of the Tiffany design. Once it was dry, I rubbed Gelatos, (same color as above) over the edges of the torn papers & rubbed it around with my fingers. I felt I needed a little lighter background just around the main image to make it pop!

Using the Spellbinders Die- Beaded Oval for the main image, I stamped my image (CHF- Modern Cross) using the Pitt Artist Pen-White! Coloring my stamp with the marker & stamping on the darker  designer paper. I also used ODB Scripture Stamp from Scripture Collection 2, using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. I sanded the Beaded Oval die edges & then used Tim Holtz Tea Stain Dye on the Oval & the Tiffany embossed piece. I then used the Pitt Artist Pens- Silver & Gold! You can see the silver shinning! I used the Silver on half & gold on the other half.

Inside: I used stripes of paper to embellish from the DCWV piece I chose & the encyclopedia paper. I edged the outer piece with the Pitt Gold Pen & also rubbed some Bubblegum Gelatos over these pieces. The inside sentiment is by Inkadinkado.

Here are the Faber Castell goodies to look for in the store!

 

NEXT, I wanted to try going pastel! So, I made another card using a different technique!

This time I colored the Cuddlebug Folder- Victoria with the Gelatos! ( Metallic Mint, Metallic Grape, Metallic Melon) A little here, a little there kind of thing!  THAT was FUN & spritzed it with water & ran it through the Big Shot! I LOOOOOOOVE the effect! Take a look!

 

Isn't that SWIRL of SHIMMERING COLOR GORGEOUS!?!

 Here's another look:

For the "window" I used Spellbinders Classic Oval.

I used the Gelatos ( Metallic Grape) to color my stamp image, CHF- Modern Cross & then spritzed the stamp with water  & then stamped! I stamped the Scripture- ODB- Scripture Selection 2 with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. The little Swirlys over & under the cross & scripture are from SU- Abundant Hope, the outer sentiment or "Happy Easter" are from SU- Teeny Tiny Wishes & the punch is SU- Modern Label. For the label, I colored it with Gelatos ( Metallic Mint)  & wet it with my fingers, let it dry, stamped it, & punched it out. I also used Silver Liquid Pearls on either end.

Here are the Faber Castell goodies to look for in the store!  

 

ANOTHER FUN THING TO DO WITH GELATOS!

I used Gelatos on my ribbon flowers!

Just take the little tube of SCRUMPTIOUS COLOR & rub it  where you want it on the ribbon & then dipping  my fingers into water I blended the color! You can see the variation of colors on the ribbon! I used a yellow ribbon for the flower on the left & colored it with Red Cherry Gelatos. The flower on the right is a pink ribbon colored with Red Cherry Gelatos  also! Then after I created the flower, I took the gelatos & rubbed just a little extra color on the edges of the flowers.

 

I used the flower on the right, on my card above but, I have a special gift to place the flower on the left on! I am planning  a little trip to a CRAFT STORE that is coming to our area! (REMEMBER,  I've told you, there are NO CRAFT STORES NEAR where I live!) SO, I am  QUITE EXCITED!!!!!  I need CERTAIN COLORS OF GELATOS to complete my next project!  AND I THINK this "new" craft store even carries FABER-CASTELL PRODUCTS!!!!!!!!!! TALK ABOUT A HAPPY CRAFTER!!!!!!!

 

Now, let me tell you about what's going on over at JustRite Stamps AND who they've teamed up with! Can you guess??? That's right, FABER CASTELL! Do go over & take a look & see what you could WIN!!!!!!!! BELIEVE ME, these products are WORTH IT!!!!!!

Brrrr!!!!  At least we can stay inside where it's warm the rest of the night & tomorrow too! HOPE you're doing well with all this snowy cold weather we've been having!

 

I've made you a card, with a stamp set  that I've had stashed away! WHO doesn't love Norman Rockwell?  It's PERFECT for what's going on over at CHF!

For The Love Of Valentines!

Hi Friends!

Hope all is well with you & yours! It is raining here & the forecast says it will be getting colder (we JUST seemed to thaw out from all the ice!)  & snow is in the forecast... Brrrr! But, LOVE IS IN THE AIR, with Valentines on the way! Are you ready for VALENTINES DAY? This is one "holiday" I LOOOOVE to celebrate! Who doesn't love to be told they're loved? It isn't far away so, I thought I better get a move on it & get these done & thought you might like to see too! Take a look!
-Little Vintage Valentines- 

 I was going for something that would remind the recipients  of their days in grade school, receiving all those sweet little valentines. These are only 2 3/4" x 4 1/4" & a  little vintage which is my very FAVORITE! (I'll make a list at the end of the post with all the goodies I used on all my cards!)

-"The Equation Is Clear"-

Inside verse: "I Love You!"

This one is for our Mathematician! I just HAD TO try the chalk-board technique that is all the rage right now! AND use some Chevron paper too!

-"You've Won" Vintage Bingo-

Inside verse- "My Heart, over & over!"

AND I've been wanting to use Vintage Bingo cards too!

-Sweet Cupid-

This one, I just wanted to make it SWEET!

 

-Stand-Up Card-

I also HAD TO make one of my Stand-Up Cards too!

 (Directions here: http://tladydesigns.blogspot.com/2012/08/cute-stand-up-card.html#comment-form)

 

-"I've Flipped Over You!" 

AND I even made a SPECIAL card from one of our kitties to our daughter! This is Daisy when she was a wee-little-one! (She's STILL pretty "wee-little!" LOL She was one of SEVEN little kitties her mommy had! ) She follows our daughter all over the place! AND she TALKS to her too! (Our daughter  mimics her talk & they have a conversation going on for quite sometime! It's absolutely ADORABLE! I'm SURE she's telling our daughter SOMETHING of GREAT IMPORTANCE!)

 

AND I even have something special you can make for those special someone(s) in your life!

I call them

VALENTINES ORNAMENTS

This very Ornament is the thing that got me into serious stamping years ago! I created this little ornament for my friends & sent them for Valentines one year. For my family, I made them some too & hung them on the back of our dinning room chairs with a large netting bow,  when I created a special Valentine Tea!

 

1) Start by finding a die or something you can cut a HEART SHAPE from. I like the Fiskars Template, (Orange Plastic- you can find them at Hobby Lobby & Michaels! ) Using the My Safe Cutter by Fiskars. The heart is a little rounder than the Spellbinders. You can get more of the image you use with the Fiskars Template.

 

2) Find an IMAGE you like. I used an image from Memories of a Lifetime Romantic Illustrations, which can be found at Barnes & Nobles here:

http://www.barnesandnoble.com/s/Memories-of-a-Lifetime-Romantic-Illustrations?store=allproducts&keyword=Memories+of+a+Lifetime+Romantic+Illustrations

 OR

 you can find images from Dover- Vintage Valentines

found here:

http://store.doverpublications.com/0486991040.html

OR

from RedLead here:

 http://www.redleadpaperworks.com/servlet/the-Paper-Collage-Sheets-cln-Valentine%27s-Day/Categories

There are all different kinds of Valentines out there for Free of charge too!
Here's one place to look,  Free Vintage Digi Stamps:
http://freevintagedigistamps.blogspot.com/search/label/Valentines
If you let Pamela know what you're looking for, she'll do her best to find you something! She also has Free Digi Print Papers! (Valentines papers too!)

 

3) COPY YOUR IMAGE onto card stock & CUT YOUR IMAGE out using the heart shape you chose. Add any embossing powder for an extra special touch at this point, emphasizing what you want emphasized, Hearts, gold lines etc.!
 

4) You will need ANOTHER HEART SHAPE IDENTICAL IN SIZE. I usually use a different color or patterned paper. Make sure you use a heavier card stock or equal to what you used for the front piece. DECORATE this piece using smaller stamps. You can stamp "Happy Valentines," a verse, or someones name.

This is the back of my ornament.

 

5) Using a HOLE PUNCH & GROMMETS, punch a hole into the hearts, separately---lining them up & add the grommets. I like to use grommets that are similar in color to the card stock. (See picture above.)
 

6) PAPER PIERCE all around the front heart edge, right up to the grommet.
 

7) Using SEED BEADS & RIBBON-5/8", sew the ribbon & seed beads onto the front heart/image.

I sew on the ribbon, pleating it as I go, then come back through those same holes & sew on your seed beads. I use two beads per stitch. (This is the longest part of this project.) Make sure as you sew that your threads are pulled tight or your seed beads will sag! Just roll them around under your fingers, untwisting the thread at times.

This is a picture of how I sewed on the seed beads & the ribbon. (At this point, I'm ready to add the seed beads.)  

This is how the back of the front heart/image will look when you're done. Be careful not to cover the hole with ribbon  & keep your stitching to the inner edge of the ribbon.
 

8) Using a HOT GLUE GUN, line up the hearts (front & back)  by the grommet placements. Tucking in any loose threads, glue just a little at the top of the heart; place the back heart on lining up the grommets, (making SURE that the grommets stay open!) Making sure you'll be able to cover the stitching, gluing only a little bit at a time & pressing it down. Work your way around taking your time! You can always go back & pull off those strings of glue that form.
 

9) Using a THINNER RIBBON--1/8" to match the larger ribbon, here I used grosgrain ribbon, string the ribbon through the grommets & tie off the end. 

Here's the finished Ornament:

And the back:

Don't forget to sign your name on the edge of the back so the recipient will remember who this little Valentine is from! I also like to put the year too!
