Hero Arts Monthly Kit Star Stamp

Happy Saturday!!  I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving if you live in the United States!  Thanksgiving is a lovely time of the year to stop regular activities and give thanks for our blessings.  I had a wonderful time with my family that I love so much!

I took time today to create a card for an Inspiration Challenge on Splitcoaststampers.  Every Saturday the hostess for the challenge selects a website from which to draw inspiration and create a paper project.  The site selected for today is The Company Store.  I selected THIS beautiful Star Wreath Holder as my inspiration piece.  Because of the upcoming holiday, Christmas, I immediately thought of the Star of Bethlehem when I saw this item.  My next thought was the star stamp within the Hero Arts Monthly Kit for November 2017.  Therefore, that star stamp image is the focal point of my card.

Matthew 2:1 & 2

“After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the time of King Herod, Magi from the east came to Jerusalem and asked, “Where is the one who has been born king of the Jews?  We saw his star in the east and have come to worship him.”

Hero Arts My Monthly Kit for November 2017

Hero Arts monthly kit for November contains a lot a fantastic crafting products.  A photo  of the kit’s contents is below the photo of my card and scripture of my post.  Unfortunately, the kit sold out as fast as it was posted as being available.  But that is the norm for these kits.

I used the bulb stamp from the kit as the main feature for my card.  I stamped and decorated three of them for the card.

Matthew 22:37-40  (The Greatest Commandment)

“Jesus replied:  ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.  This is the first and greatest commandment.  And the second is like it:  Love your neighbor as yourself.  All the Law and Prophets hang on these two commandments.”

Heartfelt Creations Regal Hummingbird

Hello, crafters!!  I so appreciate you stopping by Guneaux Designs!  Today I have for you a Happy Birthday card that features the Heartfelt Creations Regal Hummingbird stamp and die set.  The card also features the Heartfelt Creations Classic Petunia Designer Paper.   The Regal Hummingbird stamp and die set is available only until December 2, 2017, or as long as the supply lasts.  If interested, they are also on sale!!

It is difficult to see; however, the Happy Birthday To You sentiment is from a Spellbinders die that I cut several times (one from the designer paper) and glued them together.  Then I placed the glued pieces back into the negative of the designer paper.

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

“Be joyful always, pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.”

Have you seen the Pretty Pink Posh Stitched Foliage dies?  They are great!  I used one of the dies to create the pumpkin on my card share for today.  This card is for a Clean and Simple Challenge on Splitcoaststampers to create a “grateful” card.

I used this technique to create a panel from which I die cut the pumpkin and sentiment.

John 14:9

“Jesus answered [Philip]:  “Don’t you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time?  Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father.  How can you say, ‘Show us the Father?”.”

Sparkling Poinsettias

Every Saturday, the Splitcoaststampers site has an inspiration challenge.  Yesterday’s challenge showcased the Agraria San Francisco website.  I selected the Lavender and Rosemary group for my inspiration, and this is the card I made using the Heartfelt Creations Sparkling Poinsettias stamp and die.

I’m not sure that it can be seen in the above photo, but I started my card by stamping two Holly Strips with Golden Glitz Pigment Ink down the center of the lavender panel. This was to represent the strips of a gold design in this picture.  It is obvious in the photo below.

Matthew 12:25-28 (Jesus and Beelzebub, the Prince of Demons)

Jesus healed a demon-possessed blind and mute individual and was criticized by the Pharisees who said that Jesus could only cast out demons by Beelzebub, the prince of demons.  “Jesus knew their thoughts and said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself will be ruined, and every city or household divided against itself will not stand.  If Satan drives out Satan, he is divided against himself.  How then can his kingdom stand?  And if I drive out demons by Beelzebub, by whom do your people drive them out?  So then, they will be your judges.  But if I drive out demons by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you.”

Penny Black On The Lake

I have for you today a card made with the Penny Black On The Lake stamp.  Penny Black makes gorgeous stamps, and I have had this stamp for many months and not used it.  I was not sure if I could make a nice card with it.  I decided to take a chance and see what I could create with it.  I think I made a beautiful card featuring the Penny Black On The Lake stamp.

I wanted to use fall colors to create the card, so I used several Stampin’ Up!’s (SU) inks (i.e., pads and markers).

Luke 10:18-20

Jesus said: “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven.  I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy: nothing will harm you.  However, do not rejoice that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.”
