17th Celebration: Today Is The Day The Lord Has Made

Hello everyone… Happy Friday! We are at the end of March already. This month we celebrated several birthdays of our family and extended family members.

Today we are taking a look back at Our Daily Bread Designs Anniversary Release, here is the card/project I created using Celebration Clear Stamps, Large Number Dies, Side Step Card Die, Pennant Flags Dies, Balloons and Streamers Dies, Circle Scalloped Rectangles Dies, and Pierced Ovals Dies.

I used the Birthday Bright Paper Pad for the embellishments, and heavy weight white cardstock for the card base. I stamped the sentiment with Versafine Onyx Black ink pad.

He Has Risen: Vellum Insert Tutorial

Hello everyone… Easter is the celebration of our Lord Jesus has risen, and defeated death. God is glorified by the obedience of Christ. We are forgiven and redeemed by the blood of Jesus Christ. This is a celebration!

“But the angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified. He is not here, for he has risen, as he said. Come, see the place where he lay. Then go quickly and tell his disciples that he has risen from the dead, and behold, he is going before you to Galilee; there you will see him. See, I have told you.” So they departed quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, and ran to tell his disciples. And behold, Jesus met them and said,”Greetings!”And they came up and took hold of his feet and worshiped him. Then Jesus said to them,”Do not be afraid; go and tell my brothers to go to Galilee, and there they will see me.”” (Matthew 28:5-10, or read online here)

When I read my Bible, I will write and do art journal on both side of the journal columns, and also sometimes, I will need extra space for another one if my reading end up on the same page. This is when I found the solution to use vellum. I am so thankful for those who came up with this idea before me 🙂 And today, I would like to share with you a simple and easy way to add the vellum insert on your journaling Bible. I use the He Has Risen – Bible Journaling Clear Stamps to create my vellum journaling page. Visit Joy Clair Blog to see the full tutorial.

I hope you all can visit me there today 🙂 Thank you so much! Have a wonderful blessed day!

Here’s my card that I created with My Cup Runneth Over stamp set.

Spring CLC Blog Hop - Joy Clair

First, I stamped the cups image on a piece of watercolor paper with Versafine Onyx Black ink pad using my MISTI. I did it twice to get a crisp stamped image. Then I colored it with ADORNit Watercolor Pencils and watercolor brush. I picked up the pigment directly from the pencils with the waterbrush.

Then I fussy cut it with micro-tip scissors. If you have an electronic die cut, you can cut out the shape and then stamp. Joy Clair will give the svg cutting file for every stamp set you buy from their collection. How cool is that? 🙂

Spring CLC Blog Hop - Joy Clair

I stamped the sentiment with MISTI also did it twice on the grey cardstock. Background and pink patterned papers I used are retired double-sided papers from Close To My Heart.

I embellished my card with some of the doodled flowers from Bandana Bits stamp set. I stamped them on a white cardstock and watercolor them also with the same colors I used on the cups to match. Then I fussy cut them and added on the card with some black gems on it.
