Art Impressions Sheep Flutter Set

Art Impressions Sheep Flutter Set

Having lived on a farm as a young tot, I recall when many animals had their babies such as lambs, calves, chicks, colts, and piglets.  Some newborn sheep start jumping around shortly after birth.  That is reflected on my card that features the new Art Impressions Sheep Flutter Set, a jumping ewe sheep.  This little ewe is so cute and very happy.  Her legs jump up and down when you pull the tab as she tells you she loves you to the moon!


Colossians 3:12-14

“Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.  Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another.  Forgive as the Lord forgave you.  And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.”

United We Flourish Because We Are Better Together

Hi, my friends!  I hope you are having a wonderful Monday!   This card features the technique of blending alcohol inks and distress oxide inks, which fit the “Perfect Blend” theme of the Dirty Dozen monthly theme for fan club members.  My card features the stamps and dies set that Hero Arts made for Ellen Hutson as part of her United We Flourish Campaign. The stamp and die combo is called United We Flourish Because We Are Better Together, and it is an exclusive limited-edition stamp and die set for Ellen’s campaign.


1 John 3:16-20

“This is how we know what love is:  Jesus Christ laid down his life for us.  And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers.  If anyone has material possessions and sees his brother in need but has no pity on him, how can the love of God be in him?  Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth.  This then is how we know that we belong to the truth, and how we set our hearts at rest in his presence whenever our hearts condemn us.  For God is greater than our hearts, and he knows everything.”

Heartfelt Creations Simply Classic

It is time for another color challenge on Splitcoaststampers.  Karen is our hostess for this week’s challenge, and she gave us a color combination of Blushing Bride, Mint Macaron, and Very Vanilla.  Her dessert is “vintage”.  These are perfect colors for a vintage card.

My card features the Heartfelt Creations Simply Classic vintage truck.  It is filled with lovely dogwood flowers and sits in the driveway near a window of a large brick house.


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.”

Serene Silhouettes

SERENE SILHOUETTES

Hello, and welcome back, or welcome if this is your first time to this site.  Do you remember the old Stampin’ Up! stamp set, Serene Silhouettes?  I call the stamp set “old” because it is more than five years old.  I created my Serene Silhouettes card for a Splitcoaststampers Clean and Simple Challenge (CAS) to create a project that includes birds.  Because the card needed to be CAS, I searched for a simple image of a bird or birds, and this set is the one I found in my stash of older stamps.


Ephesians 2:1-3

“As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins, in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this wold and the ruler of the kingdom of the air [Satan], the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient.  All of us also lived among them at one time, gratifying the cravings of our sinful nature and following its desires and thoughts.  Like the rest, we were by nature objects of wrath.”
