Crimson Blush Stamp by Penny Black

Crimson Blush Stamp by Penny Black

Hello, my special friends.  Thank you so much for stopping by Guneaux Designs.  I have for you today a card featuring the Crimson Blush Stamp by Penny Black.  This stamp is fantastic and there are so many possibilities for its use.  I must admit that I hesitated to purchase it though as I was not confident enough to color a rose.  This stamp took away that fear.  I love the stamp!!!  This is one of the cards I created with the stamp.

 


Hebrews 11:1-3

“Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.  This is what the ancients were commended for.  By faith we understand that the universe was formed at Gods command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible.”

Penny Black The Bunch!

Penny Black The Bunch!

Hello, my friends!!  Thanks for stopping by.  I have not posted many cards this year and I want to explain why.  I was asked, and I accepted, to become a member of the Splitcoaststampers (SCS) Dirty Dozen last December.  I began my duties as a member in January, which is designing cards for SCS following themes.  One of the rules for new members of the Dirty Dozen (DD) is that any card you make for the DD monthly themes cannot be posted anywhere for six months, except on SCS.

To that end, I have been creating cards, and if you are a “club member” of SCS, you can see the cards when they go live, which is on the 15th of each month.  If not a club member, you will be able to see them here on my site after the six-month period expires.

Now, on to Penny Black The Bunch! card I created.  The Penny Black image on my card is from a stamp set newly released.  When I saw the new stamp, I had to have it as I think the image is darling, and it will serve as a great card for my three-year old granddaughter.  Don’t you just love the look on her face?  She looks so sweet!


1 Thessalonians 5:16

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

Penny Black Spontaneous Joy

Penny Black Spontaneous Joy

Hello, my friends!  I have been unavailable because of an illness, and today I am feeling better and wanted to get to my craft room and create.  The card I created features the beautiful and new Penny Black Spontaneous Joy stamp.  I submitted this card for this week’s Inspiration and Color Challenges on Splitcoaststampers.  I selected the two mentioned challenges to get my creative juices flowing again.  You can see all the wonderful comments made on my card by clicking HERE.


1 Thessalonians 5:12-15

“Now we ask you, brothers, to respect those who work hard among you, who are over you in the Lord [emphasis added] and who admonish you.  Hold them in the highest regard in love because of their work.  Live in peace with each other.  And we urge you, brothers, warn those who are idle, encourage the timid, help the weak, be patient with everyone.  Make sure that nobody pays back wrong for wrong, but always try to be kind to each other and to everyone else.”

SU Out West

SU Out West

Splitcoaststampers Featured Stamper for this week is Susy Kegal (aka Boss).  The object of being a featured stamper is for others to case your work.  Susy has a fantastic gallery from which to pick a card to case.  After spending time viewing a lot of Susy’s gorgeous gallery, I kept coming back to this Boots Scootin’ card, so I had to case it. The boots on Susy’s and my cards are the only similar element.  When I saw her card, I was reminded of the Stampin’ Up! (SU) Out West stamp set that is retired and contains a pair of boots.  Thus, I used the SU Out West stamp set for my card.


Ephesians 2:4-7

“But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions – it is by grace you have been saved.  And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus.”

Serene Silhouettes

SERENE SILHOUETTES

Hello, and welcome back, or welcome if this is your first time to this site.  Do you remember the old Stampin’ Up! stamp set, Serene Silhouettes?  I call the stamp set “old” because it is more than five years old.  I created my Serene Silhouettes card for a Splitcoaststampers Clean and Simple Challenge (CAS) to create a project that includes birds.  Because the card needed to be CAS, I searched for a simple image of a bird or birds, and this set is the one I found in my stash of older stamps.


Ephesians 2:1-3

“As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins, in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this wold and the ruler of the kingdom of the air [Satan], the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient.  All of us also lived among them at one time, gratifying the cravings of our sinful nature and following its desires and thoughts.  Like the rest, we were by nature objects of wrath.”

Tutorial for a Pop Up Valentine

TUTORIAL FOR A POP UP VALENTINE

Hello, friends!!  Today I have for you a tutorial for a pop up valentine.  I made this valentine card in response to a Splitcoastampers’ challenge to create a pop up card.  I rarely make such a card, and I had to do a lot of experimenting to make this one as  I did not have, or could not find, a tutorial that I liked when making mine.  I knew what I wanted to create, so I set out to accomplish a pop up card using Hero Arts Nesting Hearts Infinity Dies.  Here is the front of my card.


John 17:22-23

Jesus Prays for All Believers:  “I have given them the glory that you [God] gave me, that they may be one as we are one:  I in them and you in me.  May they be brought to complete unity to let the world know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me.”
