Christmas and Winter Scene Bauble

I love creating 3-D crafts, and lately, I have really enjoyed doing so.  Today I have for you a 3-D Christmas and Winter Scene Bauble.  I created it in response to Saturday’s Splitcoaststampers Inspiration challenge.  The hostess for the challenge selected this site from which to draw inspiration.  I selected this Tree Scene Glass Ball Ornament as my inspiration.

This is my inspired bauble:

Matthew 24:42-44

Jesus said, “Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come.  But understand this:  If the owner of the house had known at what time of night the thief was coming, he would have kept watch and would not have let his house be broken into.  So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.“

PTI Make It Market Wonderland Kit

How often do you purchase stamp sets/kits because you think you have to have them and when you get them, you do nothing with them?  I have so many unused stamping kits that it is embarrassing.  For example, I purchased the Papertrey Inc. Make It Market Wonderland Kit in October but had not used it until this past weekend.  Believe me, I have many others that have never been used.  The only reason I used this kit was to respond to a Splitcoaststampers Inspiration Challenge.  I created this Wonderland Cloche with the kit in response to my inspiration piece.

The site selected by the Splitcoaststampers hostess for inspiration is the Josh & Main website.  This pillow is my inspiration piece.

Colossians 2:8

“See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the basic principles of this world rather than on Christ.”

Lawn Fawn Christmas Dreams & Shut the Front Door

Hello, and thanks for stopping by.  Last Saturday, Splitcoaststampers provided a wonderful site for its Inspiration Challenge.  I saw the following Christmas card on the site and it inspired me to create a shadow box card.

Here is a photo of the shadow box card that I made.  I did not have a nutcracker stamp, so there are none sitting at the front entrance.  The lights are turned off inside; therefore,  it may be difficult to see inside.  However, do not be concerned as I have other photos that show the inside.

Luke 22:47-51

(Jesus being arrested)  “While he [Jesus] was still speaking a crowd came up, and the man who was called Judas, one of the Twelve, was leading them.  He approached Jesus to kiss him, but Jesus asked him, “Judas, are you betraying the Son of Man with a kiss?” When Jesus’ followers saw what was going to happen, they said, “Lord, should we strike with our swords?”  And one of them struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his right ear.  But Jesus answered, “No more of this!”  And he touched the man’s ear and healed him.”

Penny Black Snowy Hamlet

Welcome back, my special friends!  Today I have a card for you that features the Penny Black Snowy Hamlet stamp.  I created this card to respond to an inspiration challenge on Splitcoaststampers.  This is the site the hostess chose for us to draw inspiration from.  The following photos are of my card and inspiration piece.

Luke 22:42&43

When Jesus went to the garden at the Mount of Olives to pray before being arrested, he prayed in anguish and said: 

“Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me; yet not my will, but yours be done.”  An angel from heaven appeared to him and strengthened him.  And being in anguish, he prayed more earnestly, and his sweat was like drops of blood falling to the ground.”

Did you know that God has assigned each believer an angel who will come to strengthen us when we are feeling weak?  Just pray and ask God to send an angel to strengthen you.

Art Impressions Snow Friend

Hello, my crafty friends!  My card share is in response to a Splitcoaststampers Free For All Challenge to create a border by masking the edges on a card.  I used the Art Impressions Snow Friend stamp set for my card.  I masked the main panel on this card with masking tape and colored around the edges with a B000 Copic marker to create a border.

Zephaniah 3:17

“The LORD your God is with you,  he is mighty to save.  He will take great delight in you, he will quite you with his love, he will rejoice over you with singing.”

ELLEN HUTSON COURAGE – BREAST CANCER AWARENESS

I could not let October end without creating a Breast Cancer Awareness card.  For the card, I used the Ellen Hutson Courage Stamp and Die set, which was made especially to benefit breast cancer research.  Twenty-five dollars of each purchase of the stamp set will be sent to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation.  Being a breast cancer survivor, I was happy to contribute to the Foundation through my purchase.  Here is my card.

1 Corinthians 12:4-9

“There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit.  There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord.  There are different kinds of working, but the same God works all of them in all men.  Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good.  To one there is given through the Spirit the message of wisdom, to another the message of knowledge by means of the same spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by that one Spirit…”
