How to Assemble Art Impressions Santa Flutter Set

Have you purchased any of the new Art Impressions Flutter Stamp and Die sets?  They can be difficult to assemble.  I think that the Art Impressions Santa Flutter Set recently released is more difficult than the ones I used from the Art Impressions spring 2018 release.  I struggled with the Santa Flutter and decided to provide a tutorial on how to assemble the Art Impressions Santa Flutter Set.

I submitted this card today for a color challenge on Splitcoaststampers.

Matthew 7:1-5

Jesus said, “Do not judge, or you too will be judged.  For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.  Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?  How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye?  You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.”

Water Colored Mondo Sakura

Hello, and welcome to Guneaux Designs.  Thank you for stopping by.  Today’s card share features the Essentials by Ellen Mondo Sakura stamp set.  The card contains a water colored Mondo Sakura image.  I do not know the name for the technique I used on the card; however, I’ll explain how I created it.  If you know the name of the technique, please share it with me in the comments section.  Thanks!

John 17:1-5 (Jesus Prays for Himself)

“After Jesus said this, he looked toward heaven and prayed: “Father, the time has come.  Glorify your Son, that your Son may glorify you.  For you granted him authority over all people that he might give eternal life to all those you have given him.  Now this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.  I have brought you glory on earth by completing the work you gave me to do.  And now, Father, glorify me in your presence with the glory I had with you before the world began.”

Penny Black So Loved

This card is a JOKE!!  😊😊😊 It really is!  As a Dirty Girl (DG) for Splitcoaststampers (SCS), I created the card for a Dirty Dozen Theme challenge to create a project that includes things that start with the letters J, O, K, and E – JOKE!

I thought I had posted the card after my time as an SCS DD, but realized yesterday that I had not.  As I have shared before, I could not post online cards I made while serving as a DG until I finished my term.  That is another reason it was not posted.  Regardless, here it is:

John 16:23-24

Jesus said to the Disciples:  “…I tell you the truth, my Father will give you whatever you ask in my name.  Until now you have not asked for anything in my name.  Ask and you will receive, and your joy will be complete.”

ODBD My Soul Thirsts

Hello, everyone, and welcome back.  I hope you had a wonderful weekend.  Today I am sharing a simple card I made using the Our Daily Bread Designs (ODBD) My Soul Thirsts stamp set.

James 1:12

“Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him.”

Heated Pearls Technique Using Pearl Ex Pigments

Heated Pearls Technique Using Pearl Ex Pigments

Remember when the Heated Pearls Technique Using Pearl Ex Pigments was the trend?  I remember the first time I used the technique.  I was temporarily living in the Washington, D.C. area working on a contract for the Federal Government.  I was thinking about becoming a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator and was experimenting with techniques.  A demonstrator asked me to help her prepare cards that showcased various techniques for a card swap she was hosting.  I agreed to help and was asked to use the Heated Pearls Technique.  I enjoyed the technique but it can be messy; therefore, I rarely used it.

However, an opportunity to use the technique presented itself when I was serving as a “Dirty Girl” on Splitcoaststampers.  The “Dirty Dozen” theme for the month of April was titled “Perfect Blend”.  When the challenge was posted, I immediately thought of the  Heated Pearls Technique using Pearl Ex Pigments.  Therefore, I used the technique in response to the “Perfect Blend” challenge.  This is the card I submitted but could not post it until now.

1 John 3:21-24

“Dear friends, if our hearts do not condemn us we have confidence before God and receive from him anything we ask, because we obey his commands and do what pleases him.  And this is his command:  to believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and to love one another as he commanded us.  Those who obey his commands live in him, and he in them.  And this is how we know that he lives in us:  We know it by the Spirit he gave us.”

John 20:27-29 (Jesus Appears to Thomas After His Resurrection)

“Then he said to Thomas, ‘Put your finger here; see my hands.  Reach out your hand and put it into my side.  Stop doubting and believe.’  Thomas said to him, ‘My Lord and my God!’  Then Jesus told him, ‘Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.’ “
