Joy Of The Lord

Here is another card for the Anni-VERVE-sary sketches contest. It uses the Plain Jane stamp Nehemiah 8:10. Once again I used that Kaisercraft paperpack. I love it can you tell?

Couple More Anni-VERVE-sary cards

Couple more Anni-VERVE-sary cards. The first one uses a stamp from the set Love's Flower and paper from Echo park, "Life Is Good" Echo Park has been added to my favorites list in the paper line. 
My second card uses stamps from the set Let It Shine and the paper is from October Afternoon another favorite of mine.

Delight In The Lord

Verve is going to be Three years old and they are having a contest using their Anni-VERVE-sary Sketches. There are 5 sketches and you have until 5pm Eastern tomorrow to finish them.
For my card I used one of their Plain Jane scripture stamps  Psalm 37:4. I love these stamps as they are simple, affordable  and add such meaning to the card. They are wonderful to use in our card ministry at Church.
The paper I used is Echo Park "A Walk In The Park" Have more cards to make see ya soon

Ready For Fall

Our theme this week at Paper Maniac Inspirations  is Pile It On and all week we have been doing just that. My card share uses a Northwoods fall stamp, which makes me get in the mood for fall, one of my favorite seasons. Northwoods has some beautiful stamps and Paper Maniac has a great selection of them.
Don't forget about the Summer Sales.

My card uses a brand new paper pack from Echo Park " Life Is Good"  and my sentiment, well its a sticker. Doesn't look like one huh? Its from SRM Press, it's amazing how they look stamped.

A Painted Belli

Happy Wednesday! It's time for another Belli challenge and this time it is a painted Belli. Yep PAINT is our challenge for the next two weeks so paint away on your creation. It can be shimmerz, Tim Holtz Distress, Paint Daubers, Acrylic paint or even latex..lol I used a combination of shimmerz and acrylic for my card.  I just inked up my Memory Box stamp with some distress ink and then painted around the border first with angel dust shimmerz and then ocean acrylic paint.

Recycle

All this week the Paper Maniac design team has been sharing ways to use recycled items on your cards and projects. Do you see what recycled item i used?
My design paper isn't really design paper, its a piece of my husbands store bought birthday card from his Dad. I wish I would have thought to take a picture of the card before I used it to make mine but oh well.  The sentiment is from the July Store Stampin' Kit from Unity Stamp Co.

Stampin Bees ~ Sentiment as Focal Point

Inspire

I am back with another card share this one is for Paper Maniac where our challenge is PAINT. I loved this challenge because I have lots of paint just waiting to be used in my craft room.  The stamp I used is from Memory Box. I used Core'Dinations cardstock, embossed it with my cuttlebug folder,  and then sanded it.  Where is the paint you ask? I added paint around the edges and also on the butterfly, it may look like ink but it is actually acrylic paint.
This card also qualifies for the challenge at KLSNS because of it's Dry Embossing and One Stop Craft and Sundays With Crissy  is Monochromatic
