Cards With Scripture

While working on a post for my other blog, Sisters Bible Study, the idea of using scripture on a card popped into my head. I don't have any Stampin' Up! stamps with doors or locks, but I did have some old stamps in my stash. The "Moroccan" paper, die cut and washi tape are from Stampin' Up! The phrase on the outside and scripture on the inside were computer generated.

inside and envelope
even the back of the envelope got stamped!

Stamp Your Art Out!

Class today was a blast as usual! I'm so blessed to have such good customers that became friends:) It's such fun to see the spin others put on their creations. For the second card, Ellene stamped the fish image a few times on the back, without reinking so it looked like motion. Betsy J. stamped a school of fish on the inside of her card. The small shell on the bottom of my sample was not intended to be part of the design. I had an ink smudge to cover up, so I used the shell. Gini liked the shell, and used it on purpose! Oh, and the embossing folder. I thought the wavy lines were waves, so I put mine horizontally. Suzy thought seaweed since it was green, so she put hers vertically. I think Suzy is right lol!

Lightning in a Jar

Did you ever catch lightning bugs in a jar as a kid? We sure did and I remember being enchanted by the magic of the glowing bugs. This shaker card is just perfect to capture that feeling of living light in your jar.
The Foam Adhesive Strips sure make shaker cards a breeze to create! I used Copper embossing powder  for the lid of the jar, Gold Wink of Stella for the bugs' bodies and applied Soft Sky ink with an Aqua Painter to the wings and the the edges of the jar.
