BIRD CRAZY

Hello sweet bloggers! How was your week? Mine has been busy and I’m looking forward to the weekend! Today I am sharing a little card I have had in my head for a while.

 

A2: Stamps: Tim Holtz (Bird Crazy), Rubber Stamp Tapestry (Clear)

I used a lot of stamps to create this scene for this little bird.  I used Copic markers and my Copic air brush to color this.

Thanks for stopping by! I would love to hear what you think!

Happy crafting!

BIBLE JOURNAL #10

Hello blogging friends!  This week, I am back with another Bible journal entry.

^“Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you.” James 4:8 (ESV)

This is my reminder for this week to ABIDE in God. The bunny and flowers are from a stamp set called Spring Bunny from Rubber Stamp Tapestry.  I hope you enjoy this one!

Thank you so much for stopping by! Please take a second to let me you were here!

Have a blessed Sunday!

BIBLE JOURNAL #6

Hello blogging friends!  Some things happened this week that reminded me of the importance of faith. I used to be a worrier. If I wasn’t worried about something, I started worrying what was going to happen that would make me worry (UGH)…..yes really. Well, now I know that faith is all I need to solve my worries. When I feel worry kicking in, I know I can pray and let God take care of it. What a blessing that is!

“For with God nothing shall be impossible..” Luke 1:37 (KJV)

The lettering on this entry is all by me, but the strawberry plants were done using peg stamps from Rubber Stamp Tapestry. They are so small, they are perfect for a beginner like me! I can add things that I would normally shy away from just because I don’t have the talent to draw it. After I finished, I chalked the background.

Thank you so much for stopping by! Please take a second to let me you were here!

CC#14: CHRISTMAS WISHES

Hello dear blogging buddies! Welcome back to In a World of Craft  and another CASE-ing Christmas challenge!

(A2; Stamps: Rubber Stamp Tapestry (Cardinal in Holly set), Verve: (Ornamental Christmas)

Today, we are CASE-ing Rocky’s beautiful card. This week I decided to go way out there and see what I could come up with. I kept with the red and white but used green instead of gold. I kept the little bow and used a circle EF in homage to Rocky’s beautiful starry background. I made a wreath using peg stamps in place of an ornament. So, it looks a lot different, but you can see the inspiration (I hope)!

This was such a fun CASE! I hope you have fun with it!

Here is the card to CASE this week:

CASE-ing Christmas is a holiday card making challenge blog.  Each week, a card will be offered for you to CASE.  You could choose the color scheme.  You could choose the layout.  You could choose an embellishment.  Be inspired HOWEVER you wish!  Then, make another card based on the CASE card and link it up with us!

Hello crafty friends. I’m so happy you stopped by today for my Less is More card for this week. 

(A2: Stamps: Rubber Stamp Tapestry (Azalea Terrace), Simon Says Stamps (Hello You); Die: Simon Says Stamps (Big You

The theme this week is “This Makes Me Happy”. Of course my family, friends and doggie are so special to me and they make me smile, so I used the Simon Says Stamp set to create the sentiment.

LIM181: CELEBRATE

Hello crafty friends. Welcome back to In a World of Craft! I have a quick post to show you my Less is More card for this week:

(A2: Stamps:  Art Impressions (Window Box); Rubber Stamp Tapestry (Thank You Floral Crochet Set (retired), Cherry Blossoms Set, Wisteria Frame Set and Happy Birthday to You Peg Stamp - Mini); Paper Smooches (Salutations); Designs by Ryn (Water Droplets); Hero Arts (Flower set); Copics; Crystal Effects) 

First, I want to thank Chrissie for the Window Box stamp! I love it so much and wanted to use it this week, so I decided I could have my flowers singing in the rain….hopefully that works for the challenge!

This card is “stamp heavy” but they are all so tiny and delicate, just perfect for the window box. All of the foliage and flowers are peg stamps from Rubber Stamp Tapestry. The three larger flowers are from Hero Arts (I think). I colored the window box and yellow flowers with Copics and added some spots of Crystal Effects as rain. Once the card was done, I thought it needed some more prominent raindrops, so I stamped Ryn’s Water Droplets and fussy cut three of them. Then I coated them with Crystal Effects and once dry added to the card.

Thanks for stopping by!

Week 181 Theme: Singin' in the rain! You can take any aspect from the title as the starting point for your creation.  Rain, weather, music, dancing... let your imagination take flight.

CASology92: FLOWERS FEED THE SOUL

Happy Friday!!! Today’s card is for the CASology challenge and the cue card word is Garden:

 

(A2: Stamps: Rubber Stamp Tapestry (Little Posy Basket Set and Flowers Feed the Soul block stamp); EF: Darice (Basket weave)

The first thing I think of when I hear “garden” is flowers. I have loved flowers since I was a child and always begged to pick flowers at my Grandmothers’ houses. For this card, I used tapestry stamps for the basket and flowers and added a small sprig of flowers in the upper corner. I embossed the base, added a bit of blue and then the focal panel. A few rhinestones, an enamel dot and a spiral clip finish it off.

Thanks for stopping by.

FF29: NOEL

Last post for today! I have a Christmas card for you that I am entering in the Festive Friday challenge. I was drooling over the inspiration photo!

(A2: Stamps: Rubber Stamp Tapestry (Noel block stamp and Cardinal in Holly set); Verve (Little Lanterns); Die: Spellbinders Ovals)

This card is very simple and quick to make. I LOVE Rubber Stamp Tapestry stamps and when I saw the inspiration photo I knew they would be perfect for what I wanted to do.

I stamped the holly and masked before stamping NOEL. After stamping NOEL, I added some more holly above the sentiment and I heat embossed a tiny candle inside the O. I used the candle glow stamp with light yellow ink to give it more warmth. Using oval SB ovals I made a frame using some silver paper but I have no clue where I got it. I wish I could find more because I am running out. It is more pewter than silver, I guess. I used a piece for the border too. What do you think?

Thanks for stopping by.

PS; CASology70: SINCERE THANKS

Hello sweeties! I have a quick post for you that is rather different for me. Let me show you the card first:

(A2: Stamps: Paper Smooches (Many Thanks): Stencil:  Rubber Stamp Tapestry (Branch, Blossoms, and Dragonfly Stencil Set )

I wanted to play with stencils today, so this is what I came up with. First, I heat embossed the PS sentiment. I then used the flowers from the RST stencil set and stenciled them on the black card stock using Chalk Box white ink and a dauber. I then colored them with Copics and outlined them with a Sakura Gel pen. I added a white border to make it pop and attached to black card stock. I love the effect the Copics and white ink created. It looks like watercolor!

LIM155: BABY

Hello sweet friends. I hope you have plans to stay in and safe tonight! Here in NC the temps are supposed to plummet this afternoon, and it is supposed to rain, so we have been alerted that the rain my “flash freeze” causing black ice. Later in the day, they said we might even get SNOW!!!! I hope we do get some. It has been a couple of years since we had enough to say it really snowed.

Anyway, to stay warm, I am playing in my craft room this afternoon. I have this card to share for the Less is More challenge which is New Baby.

(A2: Stamps: Rubber Stamp Tapestry (Baby Set – Retired) and (Small Oval Positioning Template )

I know this is a retired set, but I just had to use it for this challenge! I adore the sentiment and the tiny, delicate flowers in this tapestry stamp set. I used RST’s oval positioning template to get the image like I wanted it. I rarely need baby cards, but they are so much fun to make!

**Third, and last, post for today. Please scroll down to see others!**

Hello again! I have been really busy trying to catch up on my cards, so I have this one more post for today.

(A2; Stamps: Rubber Stamp Tapestry (Noel block stamp, Holiday Bells and Bows); EP: Sparkle N Sprinkle, Whispers Glitter Embossing Powder) 

The Cue Card at Casology is Bell, so I chose the Holiday Bells and Bows from Rubber Stamp Tapestry. This is a set of peg stamps and works beautifully with their NOEL block stamp. I used  the Whispers Glitter EP on the bells and then Sparkle N Sprinkle on the bow and greenery. The white panel is mounted on a red base.

JOY

TGIF to all my lovely friends! What a busy week this has been. I almost missed the deadline over at 52CCT, but am getting in just under the wire. Here is my card:

(A2; Stamps: Rubber Stamp Tapestry (Joy block stamp, Holiday Bells and Bows ), EF: Darice: EP: Sparkle ‘n Sprinkle)  

The recipe challenge is a OLC with only a hint of color and ribbon or bling. I went for bling in the sparkly embossing powders. It is hard to see in the picture, but the bow and greenery sparkle on the card. I used an embossing folder to add depth. Hope you likey!!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS

Hi sweet friends! I hope you had a chance to see my Breast Cancer Awareness Card earlier today. If not, just scroll down to see. Now for a quick Christmas card:

(A2; Stamps: Rubber Stamp Tapestry (Christmas Love Set), Verve (Ornamental Christmas)

This sketch just screamed CAS to me and I knew it would be a great sketch for tapestry stamps! I made a mask and stamped the images in the circle. I used my score board to score the bottom of the CS and then heat embossed the sentiment on a strip of scrap paper. Quick and easy!
