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.”

Water Colored Mondo Sakura

Water Colored Mondo Sakura

Hello, and welcome to Guneaux Designs.  Thank you for stopping by.  Today’s card share features the Essentials by Ellen Mondo Sakura stamp set.  The card contains a water colored Mondo Sakura image.  I do not know the name for the technique I used on the card; however, I’ll explain how I created it.  If you know the name of the technique, please share it with me in the comments section.  Thanks!


John 17:1-5 (Jesus Prays for Himself)

“After Jesus said this, he looked toward heaven and prayed: “Father, the time has come.  Glorify your Son, that your Son may glorify you.  For you granted him authority over all people that he might give eternal life to all those you have given him.  Now this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.  I have brought you glory on earth by completing the work you gave me to do.  And now, Father, glorify me in your presence with the glory I had with you before the world began.”

Penny Black So Loved

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.”

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.”

Aren’t these penguins adorable?  The stamp, Penguin Hugs by Whimsy Stamps, from the Chrissy Armstrong Collection, is such a lovely image.  What could be more heartwarming than being hugged and told that you are loved?


Revelation 3:8-10

“I know your deeds.  See, I have placed before you an open door that no one can shut.  I know that you have little strength, yet you have kept my word and have not denied my name.  I will make those who are of the synagogue of Satan, who claim to be Jews though they are not, but are liars — I will make them come and fall down at your feet and acknowledge that I have loved you.  Since you have kept my command to endure patiently, I will also keep you from the hour of trial that is going to come upon the whole world to test those who live on the earth.”
