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.
Hello, crafting friends! Welcome to Guneaux Designs. Today my card share is a beach scene featuring ODBD Adirondack Chairs stamp.
Isaiah 47:13
“All the counsel you have received has only worn you out! Let your astrologers come forward, those stargazers who make predictions month by month, let them save you from what is coming upon you.”
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!
Hello, my friends! So glad you stopped by today to see my clean and simple card I made with the ODBD Heart and Soul Collection designer paper. I created this card for Splitcoaststampers KelliJo’s Clean and Simple Challenge, CAS416, to create a sentiment-only card. My card consists of designer paper, a sentiment, and crystal drops. I simply used a piece of designer paper that I stamped with a “You’re So Loved” sentiment using VersaMark Ink and White Embossing Powder. I added crystal drops on two corners and adhered the paper to a white card base.
This is the Our Daily Bread’s Heart and Soul Collection Designer Paper that I used. I’ve identified the design I used on the card in the picture.
This is the stamp set I used for the sentiment.
Now this is a very Clean and Simple card, don’t you agree? Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a blessed week!
God’s Blessings!

Firm Reliance on Divine Providence!
MATTHEW 6:1-4
Jesus said: “Be careful not to do your ‘acts of righteousness’ before men, to be seen by them. If you do you will have no reward from your Father in heaven. So when you give to the needy, do not announce it with trumpets, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honored by men. I tell you the truth, they have received their reward in full. But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your giving may be in secret. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.
The very talented Mary (MaryR917) is the host today for the Splitcoaststampers Color Challenge, CC600. She asked the design team to pick a favorite challenge that they hosted between #501 and #599, and we can select their colors for this challenge. I selected the colors of Karen Barber’s Color Challenge, CC509. For that challenge, she selected SU Cherry Cobbler, Soft Sky, and Old Olive.
These are the steps I followed to made my card:
~Cut a circle from my card base and stamped on it multiple times using three-step stamps of a cardinal.
~Used one application of Cherry Cobbler for the first stamp, two for the second stamp, and multiple times for the third.
~Stamped the branch with Old Olive multiple times to make the branch darker.
~Stamped the pine needles with one application of Old Olive.
~Masked the cardinal and branch and sponged Soft Sky around them.
~Ran the front of the card base through my Big Shot using the SU Holly EF.
~Attached a piece of white card stock behind the card base front and adhered the cardinal piece back into the circle that I previously cut out.
~Cut poinsettias from Cherry Cobbler and Old Olive card stock using the Cottage Cutz Poinsettia & Holly Die.
~Assembled and adhered the flowers together and added flower soft in the centers.
~Attached the flowers to the card base.
~Cut a ribbon banner and stamped on it Merry Christmas, added foam tape, and attached to the card base.
~Added three light green sequins to the card.
Enjoy and thanks for viewing and leaving comments!

“The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of our God stand forever.”
A blessed day to you, and thanks for stopping by. My card share today features the Stampin’ Up! retired Ribbon of Hope Stamp, and it is in honor of Marg Mortimer (aka Margscardcrazy) who honors us with wonderful creations on the Splitcoaststampers site. Marg is the “Featured Stamper” this week on Splitcoastampers, and the challenge is to select one of her card to CASE. This is my card that I CASEd from one of hers:
Marg has a wonderful gallery on Splitcoaststampers. As I strolled through her gallery, I saw this card that she made in 2014. The card spoke to my heart so I selected it for my CASE in honor of her.
In her description of her card, she shared that she created it for a challenge “to make a card with something missing. To let those who have had a mastectomy or double mastectomy know that they are still a whole person. That it’s not what they now look like that makes them who they are. What makes us who we are is how we treat others, what’s in our heads and what’s in our hearts and how we chose to share that with others.. One, whole, beautiful!” Well, I’m one of the ladies who she is describing.
To create her card, Marg said, “I cut a strip away from the front panel and then backed the front with some acetate and stamped on the inside of the card so that you could see the image through the card window.” The piece cut out from the front of her card base represented “something missing”.
Therefore, I cut a strip from the front of my card’s base, and instead of cutting off this piece, I folded it to the back to resemble an easel card. I then added three lovely Our Daily Bread Designs Flower Lattice die cuts to the front and back strips.
I cut a piece of Neenah Solar White Card Stock for the card’s inside, and stamped the Ribbon of Hope stamp image in Pink Pirouette ink. I embossed the image with Stampin’ Up! Iridescent Ice Embossing Powder (I believe this powder is unavailable), and attached it to the card’s inside. I used a sentiment from the Our Daily Bread Designs Healing Prayers to stamp in black Stazon ink onto a piece of window sheet (i.e., acetate) and adhered it to the two front strips. There is space to write a personal message when you lift the front panel.
Since Breast Cancer Awareness Month is next month, October, I believe this card is timely. I hope you’ve enjoyed it.
Jesus said to his disciples, “No good tree bears bad fruit, nor does a bad tree bear good fruit. Each tree is recognized by its own fruit. People do not pick figs from thornbushes, or grapes from briers. The good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart. For out of the overflow of his heart his mouth speaks.” Luke 6:43-45
