Key To My Heart Valentine Box

Key To My Heart Valentine Box

Welcome back, my friends!  I greatly appreciate you stopping by.  I have not posted a project since December 24. and I am finding it difficult to create after the holidays.  My desire has decreased.  Have you experienced this?

To try to get inspired, I am responding to a Color Challenge on Splitcoaststampers today.  For the challenge, the hostess selected the Stampin’ Up! colors of Real Red, Powder Pink, and Silver.  She also selected “hearts” as “dessert”.

 


Ephesians 5:1

 Follow God’s example, therefore, as dearly loved children and walk in the way of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.”

Hero Arts Color Layering Poinsettia Christmas Card

Hero Arts Color Layering Poinsettia Christmas Card

Happy Christmas Eve, my friends!  Do you have your gifts wrapped and goodies baked to be ready for tomorrow!  I commend you if you are ready as I have not wrapped the first gift.  Guess what I will do today!  But before I begin wrapping gifts, I wanted to share my last Christmas card for this year.  The card features Hero Arts Color Layering Poinsettia stamp set bundle.


Matthew 1:18-25  – The Birth of Jesus Christ

18: “This is how the birth of Jesus Christ came about:  His mother Mary was pledged to be married to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be with child through the Holy Spirit.
19:  Because Joseph her husband was a righteous man and did not want to expose her to public disgrace, he had in mind to divorce her quietly.
20:  But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit.
21:  She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.”
22.  All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet:
23.  “The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel” — which means, “God with us.”
24.  When Joseph woke up, he did what the angel of the Lord had commanded him and took Mary home as his wife.
25.  But he had no union with her until she gave birth to a son.  And he gave him the name Jesus.”

Hero Arts Fairy Window

Hero Arts Fairy Window

It is with great pleasure that I create this card in honor of this week’s Featured Stamper on Splitcoaststampers (SCS).  Vicki (Hawaiian) is the Featured Stamper, and she has a remarkable SCS gallery.  Should you check out her gallery, you will notice that she loves to create fairy cards.  Thus, I selected this beautiful fairy card of hers to CASE.


John 14: 23 & 24

“Jesus replied, “If anyone loves me, he will obey my teaching.  My Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him.  He who does not love me will not obey my teaching.  These words you hear are not my own; they belong to the Father who sent me.”

Christmas and Winter Scene Bauble

Christmas and Winter Scene Bauble

I love creating 3-D crafts, and lately, I have really enjoyed doing so.  Today I have for you a 3-D Christmas and Winter Scene Bauble.  I created it in response to Saturday’s Splitcoaststampers Inspiration challenge.  The hostess for the challenge selected this site from which to draw inspiration.  I selected this Tree Scene Glass Ball Ornament as my inspiration.

This is my inspired bauble:


Matthew 24:42-44

Jesus said, “Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come.  But understand this:  If the owner of the house had known at what time of night the thief was coming, he would have kept watch and would not have let his house be broken into.  So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.

Hero Arts Textured Leaves

Hero Arts Textured Leaves

Hello, special friends!  I hope that anyone impacted by Hurricane Michael has survived the horrific storm.  I was impacted with high winds and bands of drenching rain.  Thank God, my friends and family are OK.  Those who were significantly impacted are in my prayers.

I am sharing with you a card I made for two of this week’s challenges on Splitcoaststampers.  One is the Color Challenge and the other the Free For All Challenge.  The Color Challenge is to use the color combination of Stampin’ Up!’s Real Red, Garden Green, and So Saffron with “dessert” to use a stencil on a project.  The Free For All Challenge was simply to use a stencil on a project.  This is the card I created, and it features Hero Arts Textured Leaves stamps and matching dies.


1 Thessalonians 5:26-18

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

Ephesians 5:15-17 & 19

“Be very careful, then, how you live — not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil.  Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord’s will is….  Speak to one another with psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs.”
