My card share today is a simple but birthday card. It is a Happy Birthday Anna Griffin Style card. Years ago I purchased a package of Anna Griffin cardstock with matching patterned paper and embellishments. I came across it recently and decided to use it.
Matthew 5:7
“Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.”
Did you have a good weekend? I hope so. Have you seen the new 2018 release from Art Impressions? Art Impressions (AI) released multiple watercolor sets like the AI WC Dogs Set. The little doggies are so cute. I used the set along with some AI floral and bench sets to stamp and watercolor the image on this card.
Titus 2:11-14
“For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men. It teaches us to say “No” to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age while we wait for the blessed hope — the glorious appearing of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, who gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness to purify for himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is good.”
Welcome to Guneaux Designs, special friends! Today I have a card share for you that features the Altenew Clear Stamps Peony Bouquet. I made the card to submit to a Splitcoaststampers Color Challenge this week. The hostess of the challenge selected the colors of Pink Pirouette, Black, and White. A dessert option was to include vellum. I chose to pass on the dessert.
Titus 3:5-7
“He saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit, whom he poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that, having been justified by his grace, we might become heirs having the hope of eternal life.”
Hello, my friends! I have been unavailable because of an illness, and today I am feeling better and wanted to get to my craft room and create. The card I created features the beautiful and new Penny Black Spontaneous Joy stamp. I submitted this card for this week’s Inspiration and Color Challenges on Splitcoaststampers. I selected the two mentioned challenges to get my creative juices flowing again. You can see all the wonderful comments made on my card by clicking HERE.
1 Thessalonians 5:12-15
“Now we ask you, brothers, to respect those who work hard among you, who are over you in the Lord [emphasis added] and who admonish you. Hold them in the highest regard in love because of their work. Live in peace with each other. And we urge you, brothers, warn those who are idle, encourage the timid, help the weak, be patient with everyone. Make sure that nobody pays back wrong for wrong, but always try to be kind to each other and to everyone else.”
Welcome, and happy Wednesday!! My card share today is a Heartfelt Creations Sweetheart Borders Valentine! Valentine’s Day is quickly approaching, and I need to get cards made. This valentine is in non-traditional colors because it is my submission to Splitcoaststampers.com color challenge for this week.
The color combination for the challenge is Stampin’ Up! Night of Navy, Lemon Lime Twist, and Powder Pink. Stef (aka – dahlia 19) was the color challenge hostess, and I was so happy to see that she selected navy; a color not selected often, if at all.
Ephesians 4-13
Apostle Paul said:
“As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received. Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. Make every effort to keep the unit of the Spirit through the bond of peace.”
As shared yesterday, I am looking back at Guneaux Designs 2017 best handmade cards and wanted to share them. Today I am sharing three more cards with you. These cards were also posted on Splitcoaststampers (SCS), Pinterest, and/or other sites. The comments on SCS and Pinterest PINs is my guide on selecting the best cards. You can click on the photos to get full details about them.
Here are the three best cards for day three:
I posted this card on June 3, 2017. Using SCS comments, Pinterest PINS, and views of the card, I have to consider this the BEST card of 2017. As of this posting, it has received 2223 views on SCS, many comments on SCS, recognition as a favorite on SCS, and 431 Pinterest PINS. The card features Heartfelt Creations products, and it was recognized by the company on its Twitter feed. Actually, it has been pinned more than 431 times, and I have seen it on many Twitter feeds and Pinterest Boards. If the card is posted to Pinterest from my SCS Gallery, which it was, I do not know how many times it was pinned because of Pinterest’s recent change of not including the number of PINs for each card.
Revelations 20:1-3
“And I saw an angel coming down out of heaven, having the key to the Abyss and holding in his hand a great chain [word of God]. He seized the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the devil, or Satan, and bound him for a thousand years. He threw him into the Abyss, and locked and sealed it over him, to keep him from deceiving the nations anymore until the thousand years were ended. After that, he must be set free for a short time.”
