Religious/Thinking of You/Blank-Inside Cards

Here are a few cards I made over the last few snowy/icy days. We're done with snow at the moment but not the cold temperatures. Today the high is 22, wind chill 17. (-4 this morning!) 

I used Divinity Designs 'Happy Birthday' stamp for the flowering can. The paper is from DCWV's Fairytale Floral stack. I colored the stamp with Copic markers. 

I used my Cricut Explore  to cut the frame for this one. The stamp is from 'Be Joyful' from Divinity Designs.

I love these 'fancy frames' dies I cut using my Cricut Cuttlebug. The quote is from 'God Quotes 2' from Divinity Designs.

I seem to go through phases of coloring well. This flower stamp is 'Magnolia Vintage Labels Seven' from JustRite Stampers and the quote is from Divinity Design's 'Scripture Collection 11.'

This stamp is from 'God Quotes 2.'

Here's another watering can from the 'Happy Birthday' set from Divinity Designs. It was a challenge to stick with colors that matched the background paper, and not that I necessarily like!

This is another one that's not quite my usual style. This scripture quote is from 'God Verses 2.' The rest was cut with my Cuttlebug.

Thinking of You

Here is a card I made using Our Daily Bread Designs for the verse and Just Rite Papercraft for the inside. I also used my Cricut explore to cut out the sparrow. 

The inside

Purple Hydrangea Card

What?!? Two cards in the same night? I had colored this beautiful JustRite hydrangea stamp a few days ago and thought I had ruined it by using the purple shadow cut behind it. Tonight, though, playing with my new scripture stamps I decided to make myself use it. It turned out cute!

I just have to add that I love how crisp and clear the scriptures are when I stamp with them! I didn't even have to use sandpaper to stiffen the edges to hold the ink. Beautiful!

Amazing Grace Card

I bought a few new stamps from Our Daily Bread Designs for my birthday and they came in the mail yesterday! (I love priority 2-day shipping.) One of them was an Amazing Grace Hymn background stamp, and the other was a set of scripture/quote stamps. I'm sure you'll be seeing them often over the next few weeks.

I'm a little obsessed with distressing and using my craft iron, so I stamped the hymn onto white paper and layered on Walnut Ink to get the look I was going for. It turned out cute! The shadows in my craft room are awful, especially after dark, but you get the picture... :-)
