Hello, my friends, and thanks for stopping by! It was early January that I shared the cards that I believed were the best ones I made for 2017. Today, I want to share with you the Splitcoaststampers (SCS) Best of 2017 Cards that I made. There are the 15 cards that made the list.
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.”
Today I have a card share for you, and it features the ODBD Steampunk Gears Dies. This card is not my typical artwork, and making it was out of my comfort zone. However, I wanted to make it for a Splitcoaststampers.com Dare To Get Dirty Challenge. Unfortunately, I cannot share the details of the Dare To Get Dirty Challenge per Splitcoaststampers.com. If you are a Club Member, you already know the details. If you are not, you can join Splitcoaststampers as a Club Member so you can participate in the challenges.
To create the card, I die cut the gears using the ODBD Steampunk Gears Dies. I covered the gears with VersaMark® Watermark Ink and embossed them with Copper, Green, Black, Pewter, and Yellow embossing powder. Then I attach two or more gears together with adhesive.
I sponged several Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Inks (e.g., blues, greens, yellow, brown, orange, etc.) onto a piece of Neenah Solar White Card Stock. I stamped over the sponged on ink some text and designs. Then I began adding the gears to the panel. On three sets of gears, I added one or two layers of foam tape. In addition to the foam tape, I attached the gear sets to the card stock with black brads.
After adding the gears, I added a sentiment. I attached it with two gears and black brads.
I cut a piece of copper foil and added it to the back of the above panel.
To finish the card, I cut an A2 piece of black card stock and added the above to the card base.
Considering I was out of my comfort zone making this card, please share how you think I did. Thanking you in advance for your comments.
John 14:13 & 14
Jesus said, “And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Son may bring glory to the Father. You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it.
Hello, everyone! So glad you stopped by Guneaux Designs. Today I am a guest designer for the Scrapping Cottage blog. The project I have created for you features the wonderful stamps and dies from the CottageCutz Woodlands & Woodland Animals, and the dies from the Rustic Sign & Trees. I had so much fun creating this card, and I hope you enjoy it!

I love the gorgeous fox images and dies from the CottageCutz Woodland Animal Set; therefore, I had to add three foxes to my card. The little raccoon is so adorable that I planned to add two but there was not room on the card. If you have not purchased the set yet, I promise you will have so much fun creating with it and the CttageCutz Woodlands Set.
To create the card, I stamped, colored (with copics), and cut out the images I would use for the project.
After die cutting the elements, I decided I wanted to fussy cut around them, which I did. Then I created a Step Ladder Center Cut Card with white card stock and sponged on it a sky, sun, and grass. It was then time to load up the card with the critters. What fun!!
If you would enjoy making a similar card, select the elements you want to showcase and color and die cut them. Then create the Step Ladder Center Cut Card by following these instructions.
I hope you try this card fold and use the CottageCutz dies found at the Scrapping Cottage to showcase. Have a great day!

Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you be believe this?”
Unfortunately, I will be unable to post to my site for the next few weeks. As soon as possible, I’ll resume posting. Thanks for stopping by and supporting me! Your prayers are greatly appreciated!
