Hero Arts Textured Leaves

Hero Arts Textured Leaves

Hello, special friends!  I hope that anyone impacted by Hurricane Michael has survived the horrific storm.  I was impacted with high winds and bands of drenching rain.  Thank God, my friends and family are OK.  Those who were significantly impacted are in my prayers.

I am sharing with you a card I made for two of this week’s challenges on Splitcoaststampers.  One is the Color Challenge and the other the Free For All Challenge.  The Color Challenge is to use the color combination of Stampin’ Up!’s Real Red, Garden Green, and So Saffron with “dessert” to use a stencil on a project.  The Free For All Challenge was simply to use a stencil on a project.  This is the card I created, and it features Hero Arts Textured Leaves stamps and matching dies.


1 Thessalonians 5:26-18

“Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.”

Hero Arts My Monthly Kit September 2018

Hero Arts My Monthly Kit September 2018

This week’s color challenge on Splitcoaststampers includes the colors of Stampin’ Up! Pumpkin Pie, Old Olive, and Fresh Fig.  I used the Hero Arts My Monthly Kit September 2018 to create this card for the challenge.  The card features a Chinese Lantern image created with stamps from the kit.


Ephesians 5:15-17 & 19

“Be very careful, then, how you live — not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil.  Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord’s will is….  Speak to one another with psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs.”

Chiseled Power Poppy Gerbera Daisies Digital Stamp

Chiseled Power Poppy Gerbera Daisies Digital Stamp

Hello and thanks for stopping by!  My card share is for the Splitcoaststampers Inspiration Challenge for today.  The hostess, Brenda (Benzi), selected this site that features gorgeous decorative flags.  I selected this flag for my inspiration because of the daisies.  I recently purchased Power Poppy’s Gerbera Daisies Digital Stamp and I wanted to use it on my card and submit it to Power Poppy’s Creative Confetti Challenge that was posted last Tuesday.  I will also enter the card for Back To Basics and Beyond Challenges Challenge #12 Inky Backgrounds.


2 Corinthians 9:6 & 7

“Remember this:  Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously.  Each man should give what he has decided in his heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.”

Pretty Pink Posh Stitched Foliage

Have you seen the Pretty Pink Posh Stitched Foliage dies?  They are great!  I used one of the dies to create the pumpkin on my card share for today.  This card is for a Clean and Simple Challenge on Splitcoaststampers to create a “grateful” card.

I used this technique to create a panel from which I die cut the pumpkin and sentiment.


John 14:9

“Jesus answered [Philip]:  “Don’t you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time?  Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father.  How can you say, ‘Show us the Father?”.”

Penny Black On The Lake

Penny Black On The Lake

I have for you today a card made with the Penny Black On The Lake stamp.  Penny Black makes gorgeous stamps, and I have had this stamp for many months and not used it.  I was not sure if I could make a nice card with it.  I decided to take a chance and see what I could create with it.  I think I made a beautiful card featuring the Penny Black On The Lake stamp.

I wanted to use fall colors to create the card, so I used several Stampin’ Up!’s (SU) inks (i.e., pads and markers).


Luke 10:18-20

Jesus said: “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven.  I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy: nothing will harm you.  However, do not rejoice that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.”

Autumn Splendor

Autumn Splendor

Are you having a wonderful fall season?  Fall, also known as autumn, is the time of the year that the season changes from summer to winter in the Northern Hemisphere.  The deciduous trees’ leaves turn into awesome colors before falling from the trees.  Then there is the wonderful task we all love to hate; raking the leaves.

I hope that you are experiencing the typical autumn with the awesome array of colors.  I live in Florida where the official memo announcing autumn never arrives.  I miss the wonderful season, and I try to enjoy it through crafting.  My card share today is one reflecting autumn splendor.


Hebrews 13:15

Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise —the fruit of lips that confess his name.”



This week’s color challenge on Splitcoaststampers was to create using Stampin’ Up! (SU) colors of Cajun Craze, Crushed Curry, and Cherry Cobbler.  I submitted this card for the challenge. Continue reading
