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.”

Side Step Card

Side Step Card

Hello, friends, visitors, and crafters!  I have a side step card that I made while serving as a member of the Splitcoaststampers “Dirty Girls”.  Now that I have completed my time as a “Dirty Girl”, I am allowed to share the card.  That’s the rule, and I have to follow it!!!


Hebrews 13:15 & 16

“Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise — the fruit of lips that confess his name.  And do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased.”

PI Make It Monday #333:  Layering Patterns Over Images

Hello and welcome to Guneaux Designs.  Last Monday, Papertrey Ink’s challenge for “Make It Monday #333” involves the technique of layering patterns over stamped images.  This is the card I created and submitted for the challenge.


2 Corinthians 5:9 & 10

“So we make it our goal to please him, whether we are at home in the body or away from it.  For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive what is due him for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad.”

Art Impressions Elephant Twist Ties

Art Impressions Elephant Twist Ties

Most children enjoy going to the zoo to see all the wonderful animals from the wild.  When my children were young, they got excited when good weather arrived as they knew a trip to the National Zoo in Washington, D.C. would soon be on the schedule.  To that end, I created a zoo animal card using the new Art Impressions Elephant Twist Ties Stamp and Dies set.  The little elephants are so cute with their trunks twisted together.


Freedom From Human Regulations Through Life With Christ

Colossians 2:6

“So then just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.”

Serena, A Digital Stamp Image

Serena, A Digital Stamp Image

When I look at this young girl image on my card, I think of Stevie Wonder’s song, “Isn’t She Lovely”.  She is Serena, a digital stamp image that I purchased from The Paper Shelter.  She has her hand over her heart as she peeks with one eye from under her gorgeous hat with a lovely pink flower!


Romans 12:2

“Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.  Then you will be able to test and approve what god’s will is – his good, pleasing and perfect will.”

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.”
