Congratulations Mixed Media No-Bulky Shaker Card

Hello all… I hope you all well and safe. It has been windy, rainy, cold winter days here. Staying warm in my craft room, I made this mixed media, no-bulky, shaker card for the first time. It was fun to try new technique.

I used supplies Sweet ‘n Sassy Stamps:

I made a mixed media background mat using texture paste, Lindy’s Magic Shaker, Finetec Watercolor paint.

I love this new stamp set. I can stamp inside the card with this Bible verse message.

For stamping, I used VersaFine Clair ink pads and Mini MISTI stamping tool. With stamping tool, it is easy to create 2-shades gradient sentiment. After stamping, I dried the ink and fussy cut it with scissors.

I like the result. And I think this my new favorite way of making shaker card. No bulky, flat enough to fit in envelope and mail friendly.

So, have you tried this technique yet?

Mixed Media Tag | Wonderful Love

Sometimes, we find it is hard to sing praises and to pray in hard situation and circumstances. When our mind occupied by worries and problems, we can think of something else. But God has provided ways for us to continue praying and praising His name.

In the book of Psalm, we can read all kind of praises and prayers that we can also use as our praises and use the verses to pray to the Lord. They are God’s word. And God’s word never return void (Isaiah 55:11).

In the book of Psalm 17, David expressed what was in his heart to the LORD with this prayer.

He pleaded for justice and brought his case before Him to judge.

He had confident that the LORD would answer his prayer.

He asked the LORD to show him His wonderful love, guidance, protection, and judgement over his enemies.

We all can have hope and faith in the same GOD for He is the LORD who is faithful and just. You can call upon Him today for He will listen and for sure He will answer you, my friends… He loves you with His everlasting wonderful love!

I created my mixed media tag bookmark today using these stamp sets from Sweet ‘n Sassy Stamps:

CreativeWorship: My Savior’s Love clear stamp set
Funky Texture clear stamp set

On the background, I used Distress Crayons, TCW Matte Medium, and stamping with VersaFine Clair Nocturne Ink Pad, Faber Castell Big Brush Pen and PITT XS Pen.

Thanks for stopping by. Have a blessed day!

Bible Journaling | Walk In Love

As we walking into the new year, we all hope for better year. This week as I am meditating God’s word, I am reminded to walk in love with the Lord.

Reading the verse 2 John 1:6, I learned that walking in love is:

the beginning of God’s message
the foundation of teaching
the commandment

When we read and study God’s message in the Bible, we are walking in His love. We gain knowledge of who He is and his steadfast love for his people. We also are called to share and teach His message to others. We walk in love when we teach his teaching to others. And it is a commandment from the Lord himself. To love the Lord is to obey his commands.

My Bible journaling page today, I created using supplies from Sweet ‘n Sassy Stamps:

Creative Worship: My Savior’s Love clear stamp set
Creative Worship: Sweetpea Alpha clear stamp set
Funky Texture clear stamp set
Hearts Galore Stencil

On the background, I added layers of Pastel Gelatos and Metallic Gelatos. And then I added layers of stamping with VersaMagic inks.

I stamped the flower images with VersaFine Clair Nocturne and I colored them with watercolor pencils and I cut it with scissors. I added to the journaling page with permanent adhesive glue.

Thanks for stopping by my blog today. Have a wonderful, blessed day!

DIY Christmas Ornaments With Stamp and Dies

Hello everyone… Christmas is coming! Ornaments can be a great gifts. Also, my family always get new ornaments every year.

Today, I made these Christmas ornaments using Sweet ‘n Sassy Stamps:

Adorn Him Stamp Set
Adorn Him Die Set
Peace & Joy Word Dies
Starry Night Stencil

On both wood slice backgrounds, I painted them with Black chalk paint. I set them aside to dry.

For the first ornament, I used the stencil, Metallic Gelatos, and white paint to create the starry night background.

I used Altenew Artist Markers to color the baby Jesus image after I stamped it with Memento Ink. And then I cut it with the matching die.

After the background dried, I added the Baby Jesus image on it with permanent craft glue. Make sure your glue is strong for wood or any surfaces.

For the other ornament, I cut the word Joy from the Peace & Joy Word Dies with permanent White Vinyl and then I added it on the wood slice. And then, I simply added the White Coconut Gelatos pigment on it with finger to give the chalkboard look on it.
