United We Flourish Because We Are Better Together

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.”

4th of July Hand Fan

4th of July Hand Fan

One of the interpretations of the Dirty Dozen’s June Theme, Keeping Score, was to use score lines on a project.  This 4th of July Hand Fan has many score lines.  It is sturdy enough to use in hot weather while outside enjoying a concert and/or watching fireworks on the Independence Day.  This photo is of the fan when open.

 


1 Timothy 2:5 & 6

For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all men — the testimony given in its proper time.

Gate Fold Card In The Shape Of A Star

Gate Fold Card In The Shape Of A Star

This Wednesday is Independence Day, July 4th, and I love cards made to celebrate the occasion.  This card is a gate fold card in the shape of a star.  I made the card for the Splitcoaststampers Dirty Dozen’s June Theme, “Keeping Score”, and it fits the theme in two ways.  One is the special card fold, and the other is the 20 strips on the card front in blue.



Revelations 3:20-22

“Here I am!  I stand at the door and knock.  If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with me.  To him who overcomes, I will give the right to sit with me on my throne, just as I overcame and sat down with my Father on his throne.  He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.”

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.”
