Color By Faith: Born Is The King and Send Me Projects

Hello everyone… I am back with my second post today. And I have 2 projects I would like to share with you that I created using Joy Clair – Color By Faith Bible Journaling Stamp Collection.

I share more details how I created these 2 projects over Joy Clair Blog today. First is a set of cards that I created using Born Is The King stamp set.

I tied each set with the twine. This also can be a great gift for teachers, don’t you think? I hope these projects give you some ideas for this Christmas Holiday 🙂

My second project is a Bible journaling page using the Send Me stamp set. I used my new ESV Psalms Journaling Bible. It is a gift from a friend. I am so very thankful for this gift!

This passage describes the greatness of God compare to the idols. Non of the idols can compare to the power of the Living God. He is the one who creates the world and his glory displayed in this world. We all can see it plainly with our eyes. We only need to aware of His presence in our lives.

God himself always will reveal Himself and His glory through his creations, including us!

Thank you so much for stopping by my blog today. May you all have a wonderful day!

And today, I have a Java Merry Christmas card to share with you all.

Let’s gather all your coffee/tea/cocoa supplies and get crafty for this fun blog hop and link up party. It will be so much fun, lots of inspirations, and also… TONS OF PRIZES to win!

My card today I created using the adorable Christmas Mugs stamp set from Pink and Main, one of the Super Sponsors for this blog hop.

I stamped the candies directly on the card with the London Fog – Memento DewDrop ink to create the background.

With this stamp set, you cannot resist to not color them 🙂 So, I pull out my Arteza Real Brush Pens and Spectrum Noir Sparkle Brush Pen to color those mugs.

First I stamped them on 2 watercolor paper panels with Versafine Onyx Black using Mini MISTI to get bold line. Then I colored them with the real brush pens and used the Spectrum Noir Sparkle Brush Pen to get the watercolor look and glitter at the same time.

I fussy cut out the little mug with micro tip scissors. And the other one with the taller mug, I die cut it using one of the Fancy Frames from Craftin Dessert Divas, which is also one of the Super Sponsors.

I die cut it again to create one more layer of mat for the card. I added the first mat on the card with adhesive, then the second I added some fun foam behind it and then I added it on the card with adhesive.

I added the second cup with 3D foam tape, bit overlapping it with the taller mug.

For the sentiment, I stamped it on a white cardstock with Rhubarb Stalk Memento DewDrop, and cut it into paper strips. I added it on the card with adhesive.

That’s I how I created this card for this Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop Day 3. You still have time until this Friday, December 15th to link up your projects here and by linking up, you have chances to win the giveaway prizes!

I believe we – coffee/tea/cocoa loving cardmakers/papercrafters – have been waiting for this moment 😀 This is the time of the year we share our Winter themed coffee/tea/cocoa projects to inspire each other! And today I have a “You Warm My Heart” CAS card to share with you.

My today’s card is a CAS card inspired by the Kerry’s Sunday Sip and Share Sketch:

I created my card using stamp sets, custom dies and paper collections from Our Daily Bread Designs, one of the Super Sponsors. They have a great collection of coffee and tea themed rubber stamp sets and dies.

I stamped the coffee stains on the background with Memento Rich Cocoa ink pad. For the sentiment, I stamped it with Rhubarb Stalk and Bamboo Leaves from the set of Sorbet Scoop Memento DewDrops.

I cut out a strip of border paper from one of the patterned papers and added it on the card base with the adhesive. Then I added the panel that I stamped those coffee stain patterns on the card. Next is I added the red paper strip across the card. I added the sentiment banner on it. And then using the 3D foam tape I added the die cut coffee cup that I cut out using the Beverage Cup die set. This dies, you can make many designs of to go cups!

I added some clear gems to give the card some extra bling on it 🙂

That’s my card for today’s blog hop and I’ll be back tomorrow with another coffee themed project. I hope you all enjoy it so far… THANK YOU so much for stopping by!

Winter 2017 Coffee Loving Blog Hop Day 2

What Christmas Ought To Be

Hello everyone… Welcome to the Winter 2017 Coffee Loving Blog Hop Day 2! I believe we – coffee/tea/cocoa loving cardmakers/papercrafters – have been waiting for this moment 😀 This is the time of the year we share our Winter themed coffee/tea/cocoa projects to inspire each other!

Here’s the details about the blog hop party:

Where: Coffee Loving Cardmakers Blog

Date: Friday, Dec 8 – Friday, Dec 15

When: 6:00 am Pacific (9:00 am EST)

Special Events:

December 13th – National Cocoa Day

December 15th – International Tea Day

Let’s gather all your coffee/tea/cocoa supplies and get crafty for this fun blog hop and link up party. It will be so much fun, lots of inspirations, and also… TONS OF PRIZES to win from Super Sponsors!!!

My card for this day 2 I created using the Coffeecionado stamp set, Warm Hands, Warm Hearts stamp set and Crazy Double Running Stitch Rectangle Nesting Dies from STAMPlorations, one of the Super Sponsors for this blog hop.

I stamped the cup with Versamark ink pad on a white cardstock and heat embossed it with mix of gold embossing powder and holographic glitter embossing. I did it twice to get the bold and thicker effect on the embossed image 🙂 Using Mini MISTI stamping tool is the best way of doing this technique. I cut out the panel using Rectangles Dies from Our Daily Bread Designs, they are one of the Super Sponsors, too.

I colored the cup with Arteza Real Brush Pens and Spectrum Noir Sparkle Brush Pen. They are great to use for coloring and getting extra sparkle on the image at the same time! 🙂 I set it aside to dry while I was working on the card background.

First, I cut out one of the green plaid patterned papers from my stash into a strip and added it on the side of card base. Next is I cut out a green cardstock with the smallest size of the Crazy Double Running Stitch Rectangle Nesting Dies and added it in the center of the card. And then, I added the watercolored cup panel on top of the green panel.

For the sentiment, I stamped the phrase from Warm Hands, Warm Hearts stamp set with Rhubarb Stalk – Memento Dew Drop Ink on a white cardstock and trimmed it into sentiment strip. I added 3D foam tape just in the middle of the strip cardstock for dimensional effect to it when I glued both sides on the card.

I added some of the snow flakes sentiments to finish this card.
