Word Art Wednesday Challenge - Guest Designer for Feb '25

Hello Friends and Happy Wednesday.  It's time for a new challenge at Word Art Wednesday, and it's my last project as Guest Designer for February 2025.  It's been an honor and pleasure to be included this month, Thanks Word Art Wednesday for having me.

The optional Word Art verse for this challenge is:

Psalm 27 encourages people to believe that their faith in God will never leave them, no matter what happens. It also encourages people to live into God's will for their lives, instead of letting fear and insecurity limit them.  

I, however chose not to use this Word Art, but rather went with another Psalm or my project.

The patterned papers are from an older 12x12 paper pad from Color Blok, the Verse is from the Easter Blessings Stamp Set from Cardz TV.

The Dragonflies are dimensional sticker embellishments from the Dollar Tree (I've had these lovely embellies in my stash forever) and clear gems have been added for additional interest.  I've cut the focal panel using a nesting postage die from Catherine Pooler, and it has been popped of craft foam for dimension.

I hope you'll stop by the Word Art Wednesday Challenge Blog and join in the fun.  You are not obligated to use the free Word Art, the challenges are Always Anything Family Friendly Goes.

Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Word Art Wednesday February Guest Designing

Hello Friends and Happy Wednesday!  I hope you're doing well and your week is coasting along nicely.  I've been invited to join the team at the Word Art Wednesday Challenge Blog as their February Guest Designer, and I'm honored to be creating with such a talented team.  

If you're not familiar with Word Art Wednesday, it's a Family Friendly Anything Goes Challenge that provides an optional Biblical Word Art piece you may incorporate into your design.  This is strictly optional, and the word art for this challenge is:

I've used the verse from 1 John 3:1 in my design.  This verse emphasizes the deep love God has for us and no matter who we are, no matter what we've done in our past or what's to come in our future, we are his children.  And just like a parent, his love is unconditional for us.

After printing the scripture, I've cut the panel using a Postage Nesting Die from Catherine Pooler.  The papers are from a 6x6 paper pad by American Crafts and the foliage is a dimensional die cut embellishment I received in a card swap, along with the mini embossed panel it's resting on.

Lastly, I've added light green gems to finish the design.  I love the gold glitter on the foliage, and I thought the patterned paper was so sweet.

Please take a moment to visit the Word Art Wednesday Challenge and see what the team have created, you'll definitely be inspired, and we hope you'll share your projects with us.

Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Word Art Wednesday - Romans 8:38-39

Hi Friends!  I'm back with my last project as Guest Designer with the wonderfully talented team at the  Word Art Wednesday Challenge.  It's been a pleasure creating inspirational cards using the encouraging bible verses this past month and I appreciate being invited.

I've kept with an Autumnal theme and allowed this lovely verse from the Book of Romans to take center stage.  The background is a snippet of patterned paper from my stash.

I've printed the verse on Cream colored card and backed with a brushed gold snippet of card.  Using a Kraft card base and a brown layer, I adhered to the base, but not before tying a string of Baker's Twine and creating a bow.

The patterned paper almost looks hand stamped and I thought a wonderful addition for this card, not to mention it made creating this card quick and easy.  Please stop by the Word Art Wednesday Challenge and have a look at what the team members have created.  They are so talented and the projects are always inspirational!  

Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Word Art Wednesday Guest Designer - Bless Thee and Praise Thy Name

Hello Friends and thanks for visiting me today.  I'm back with my 2nd guest designer project for the Word Art Wednesday Challenge Blog.  It's been an honor to join the talented creators and I've had a lovely time creating with this inspirational verses.

I've created a sweet and simple card, allowing the Psalms verse to take center stage.  I backed with patterned paper from my stash, die cut the focal panel with a stitched rectangle die and die cut some twigs in white card.  To further highlight the foliage, I've added reddish gems and a baker's twine bow. 

Please visit us at the Word Art Wednesday Challenge, we hope you'll be inspired to share with us.  Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Word Art Wednesday Guest Designer - Trust in Him

Hello Friends and Welcome, I'm glad you stopped by.  I've been honored with a guest designer spot for the month of August at the Word Art Wednesday Challenge Blog.  For my first project this month, I've created a sweet and simple design using this inspiring quote from Psalms Chapter 62, Verse 8.

I wanted the verse to take center stage, so I've printed it large, then stamped sun rays from the Simon Says Stamp "Hello Sunshine" set above using 2 shades of yellow ink from Catherine Pooler.

To "ground" the design, I've wrapped and tied a bow of Caribbean Blue Twine from a Fun Stampers Journey to the bottom.  

This guest designer spot and this verse couldn't have come at a better time.  We recently learned that someone close has Stage 4 Pancreatic Cancer, but God can do miracles and we are putting our trust in him.  Any prayers are greatly appreciated.

Until next time, Happy Crafting!
