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!!!
Happy Easter, everyone! It is only appropriate that today, Easter, I share with you an Easter card, a Heartfelt Creations Easter Card. This card features the Heartfelt Creations Flowering Dogwood Collection that I have spotlighted in my last two posts.
Isaiah 53:3-7 (NIV)
He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows, and familiar with suffering. Like one from whom men hide their faces he was despised, and we esteemed him not. Surely he took up our infirmities and carried our sorrows, yet we considered him stricken by God, smitten by him, and afflicted. But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed. We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way; and the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all. He was oppressed and afflicted, yet he did not open his mouth; he was led like a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is silent, so he did not open his mouth.
Praise God for our salvation through our belief that Jesus Christ was hung on the cross, died for our iniquities, and was buried and resurrected in three days!
Hello, my friends! Thanks for stopping by Guneaux Designs. My card share for you today is a Happy Easter Card featuring the Heartfelt Creations Flowering Dogwood Collection. My last post also featured this collection as it is perfect for Easter cards.
Ephesians 6:12
“For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil…”
Today’s color challenge on Splitcoaststampers is to use the Stampin’ Up! colors of Daffodil Delight, Pink Pirouette, and Old Olive. I created an Easter card for the challenge using the Heartfelt Creations Flowering Dogwood Collection.
John 19:16-19
“Finally Pilate handed him [Jesus] over to them to be crucified. So the soldiers took charge of Jesus. Carrying his own cross, he went out to the place of the Skull (which in Aramaic is called Golgotha). Here they crucified him, and with him two others—one on each side and Jesus in the middle. Pilate had a notice prepared and fastened to the cross. It read: JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS.”
Welcome! Today I created my first shadow box card that was inspired by the Frederique Morrel Artwork site. The Splitcoaststampers.com Inspiration Challenge for today featured this site. It is an awesome site of a different type of art, which is textile art. The artwork seems to be driven primarily by deer, birds, bunnies, and flowers. It was difficult for me to select one piece of art; therefore, I created this card as my Frederique Morrel Artwork Inspiration piece. I tried to capture the essence of the site when creating the card. The bunnies and deer in the shadow box are created from fabric.
Luke 15:3-7
“Then Jesus told them this parable: “Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Does he not leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it? And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders and goes home. Then he calls his friends and neighbors together and says, ‘Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep.’ I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent.”
Guneaux Designs First Blooms
Do you have a favorite spring flower? Mine is a tulip, and when I lived in Northern Virginia, I had a beautiful tulip garden with many varieties and colors. I miss my garden as living in southwest Florida, tulips are shipped in and will not grow in a garden! Thus, I get satisfaction by making cards with tulips. This card is a Guneaux Designs First Blooms card. It features Penny Black’s First Blooms dies.
I die cut the tulips from white card stock and colored them peach and yellow with green stems using Copics Sketch Markers. I used a stylus and foam pad to shape the flowers.
The other feature on the card is the gorgeous frame. I cut the frame from white card stock using the Impression Obsession Ornate Square Frame Dies. The frame cuts out two square frames and one square. I wanted to try the new Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Inks which I purchased recently. I used them to color the square and square frame, leaving the ornate frame white.
When assembling the card, I glued four of the ornate frames together and cut another one and added two rows of foam tape to get dimension. I added this frame on top of the others.
Enjoy Guneaux Designs First Blooms card, and have a wonderful day!
God’s Blessings!

JAMES 1:12
“Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him.”
