Gate Fold Card In The Shape of an ODBD Die

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.”

Altenew Beautiful Day

Flowers!!  Beautiful flowers come to my mind when springtime arrives.  It is a time when perennial plants emerge from the ground, grow, and bloom into beautiful flowers.  Thinking of this, my first card for the Dirty Dozen’s March monthly theme was to include flowers.  The card features the Aletnew Beautiful Day Stamp Set, and I could not release it until I finished my time as a Dirty Girl!

Ephesians 2:11-13

“Therefore, remember you who are Gentiles by birth and called “uncircumcised” by those who call themselves “the circumcision” (that done in the body by the hands of men) – remember that at that time you were separate from Christ, excluded from citizenship in Isreal and foreigners to the covenants of the promise, without hope and without God in the world.  But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near through the blood of Christ.”

Beach Scene Card – Blending Pencil Shavings Technique

The blending colored pencil shavings technique is one that I have not tried before creating this beach scene card.  I created the card for the Dirty Dozen Fan Club April Monthly Theme of  “Perfect Blend”.  It is a birthday card for my special grandson.

Romans 12:3

“For by the grace given me I say to every one of you:  Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the measure of faith God has given you.”

Altenew Build A Flower – Hibiscus

Know what I love?  This sentiment on my card with a question mark fit nicely into the Dirty Dozen May Theme, “Mother May I?”  What I love, among many other things, is my Hibiscus plants that have started blooming so beautifully.  To that end, my card features Hibiscus flowers that I made using the Altenew Build A Flower – Hibiscus stamp set.

Psalm 68:19

“Praise be to the Lord, to God our Savior, who daily bears our burdens.  selah”

ODBD Surprise Box

I had great fun creating this Our Daily Bread Designs (ODBD) Surprise Box.  It took hours for me to complete, but it was so worth it as it is for my precious granddaughter.  The box is not for her birthday, as it may indicate.  It is a reminder to celebrate life.  Our lives can change in a split second and make you realize how important it is to celebrate life and your loved ones.

This week’s Splitcoaststamper’s Tuesday Color Challenge is hosted by Jeanne.  She selected the color combination of SU Flirty Flamingo, Bermuda Bay, and So Saffron, with a dessert option of balloons.  These colors are a beautiful combination!

Joshua 10:12-14

“On the day the Lord gave the Amorites over to Isreal, Joshua said to the Lord in the presence of Isreal:  “O sun, stand still over Gibeon, O moon, over the Valley of Aijalon.”  So the sun stood still, and the moon stopped, till the nation avenged itself on its enemies, as it is written in the Book of Jashar.  The sun stopped in the middle of the sky and delayed going down about a full day.  There has never been a day like it before or since, a day when the Lord listened to a man.  Surely the Lord was fighting for Isreal!”

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.”
