Hello friends!
Today I have a fun card for you that I will be sharing a tutorial on next month during our 12 Weeks of Christmas Card Tutorials that the Design Team and I will be sharing with you! For today, I want to show you this Christmas Card that shares the Gospel with all who see it! I am always certain to include a space for a family photo when I want the card displayed by the receiver (those never get thrown out!) and that is true for this card that shares the love of God in His gospel of Jesus Christ!
The front of the card looks like this:
I used Inspired Stamps: HYMN GIRLS: MARCH, CHRISTMAS POINSETTIA (for the phrase here, the holly/ivy, the word believe on the inside, and the 'Greetings from our home to yours), plus the gospel 1 CORINTHIANS 15:3-4 inside, and one of the stamps from the MADE BY... stamp set on the back. I used a brand new BOBUNNY 6x6 PAPER PAD that will be in the online store starting THIS WEEKEND called CHRISTMAS COLLAGE!
Here's what the card looks like when you open it up:
Notice you don't see the LOVE until you continue opening...
I used Inspired Stamps' most popular alphabet, ELEGANT DOTTY ALPHABET, for the word LOVE here!
Here's a photo of the left side:
Above is a close up of the right side where I will put a Christmas photo and have my family sign the part under the sentiment!
On the back of the card I was sure to use the MADE BY... stamp which reminds the recipient of this card that I made this just for them, and am praying for them, too!! I will sign it right before I send it!
I hope you have enjoyed the start of our daily Christmas Cards Showcasing Inspired Stamps so far!! I'll be back tomorrow with another card!
Blessings,
Antoinette

Today I have a very mixed media stamped packaging idea for you! I have so many graduation gifts to present this year and neither of my own have a graduation until next year!!
Hayley is the first, and she graduated from college this past Sunday. She's artsy so I wanted to do something artsy for her!
Here's how I wrapped her present and addressed her card:
First I taped the kraft wrapping paper to a big black board (it wanted to curl!):
Next I used some dark gray color mist to squirt some subtle pattern using this mesh a student gave me last year:
I also used one of the graduation caps to glimmer mist some gold color (school color):
Then I randomly stamped some flowers from the INSPIRED STAMPS: Spring Sketches set on it:
I wrapped the package and added washi tape, sparkles, a prima jeweled flower and some graduation stickers to finish it off. Hayley, was stamped using our most popular alphabet stamp set: Elegant Dotty Alphabet:
Lots of different embellishments on this packaging!
Wednesday I have some great layering to show you with several different media on canvas so be sure to come by and see it!
Blessings,
Antoinette

Here is my completed Word Art Scrapbook pages from last week:
I really enjoyed just putting ONE or TWO words as the journaling! I captured all I was grateful for this week in a very short and concise way! Fun, too! I used Inspired Stamps ELEGANT DOTTY ALPHABET, COLORABLE UPPERCASE ALPHABET , ART JOURNAL WORDS AND FACES, AND BIRTHDAYS FOR THIS PAGE along with gel pens!
This week (Valentine's Week) I am going to focus on being grateful for LOVE...all kinds of love; foods I love or something I love or a way that God shows His love for me...we'll see how the week goes, but that's what I'm thinking now. Do we even begin to fathom all the ways He loves us and cares for us in a single day? I know we don't! It'll be fun searching for these things this week!
Here are my pages. I wanted to show you how to make the background paper just with this stamp! I was inspired by Gaby's cards here:
Here is what I did:
I stamped and cut out the paper and put it my 6x8 black background page. Then I took a white piece of paper and stamped the verse again(see below) before using the heart from GUARD YOUR HEART set to stamp over it:
I cut out the stamped heart over the verse and put glitter tape and a few jewels on the page:
And created these 2 pages to work with this week:
Here they are side by side:
So how are YOU doing making your Gratitude Artwork? We really love seeing your art so be sure to link it to us below in our Mister Linky link or take a photo and share on our Facebook page! Remember, it's never too late to join us!! We will be choosing winners at the end of the month!!
Until next time,
Blessings,
Antoinette and the Sunday Scripture DT
