Gate Fold Card In The Shape of an ODBD Die

Special card folds is a category for the Splitcoaststampers.com Dirty Dozen June Theme, “Keeping Score”.  One of my favorite card folds is one that I created in 2013 and that is a gate fold card in the form of a die.  I have created many cards this way and thoroughly enjoy it.  This is a gate fold card in the shape of an ODBD die, the largest die from the Lavish Layers Dies.


2 Thessalonians 2:1-4

Apostle Paul’s letter to the Thessalonians says, “Concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered to him, we ask you, brothers, not to become easily unsettled or alarmed by some prophecy, report or letter supposed to have come from us, saying that the day of the Lord has already come.  Don’t let anyone deceive you in any way, for that day will not come UNTIL [emphasis added] the rebellion occurs and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the man doomed to destruction.  He will oppose and will exalt himself over everything that is called God or is worshiped, so that he sets himself up in God’s temple, proclaiming himself to be God.”

Vera Bradley Inspiration Art Butterfly Card

Welcome, and thanks for stopping by to view my Vera Bradley Inspiration Art Butterfly Card!  Each Saturday on Splitcoaststampers.com, there is an inspiration challenge where a hostess selects a website from which challenge participants can draw inspiration for a card.  Last Saturday the hostess selected a fantastic and fashionable website  (i.e., Vera Bradley) for her Inspiration Challenge.  When I visited the site, I immediately saw a butterfly pattern that would be my inspiration piece.  This travel bag was the inspiration for my Vera Bradley Inspiration Art Butterfly Card.

Hebrews 2:1-4

“We must pay more careful attention, therefore, to what we have heard, so that we do not drift away.  For if the message spoken by angels was binding, and every violation and disobedience received its just punishment, how shall we escape if we ignore such a great salvation?  This salvation, which was first announced by the Lord, was confirmed to us by those who heard him.  God also testified to it by signs, wonders and various miracles, and gifts of the Holy Spirit distributed according to his will.”

Titus 2:11-14

“For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men.  It teaches us to say “No” to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age while we wait for the blessed hope — the glorious appearing of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, who gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness to purify for himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is good.”
