Scripture Blocks and Cards

 

One of the things that I love to make to put in my little shop are blocks with sayings or Scriptures.  For these two blocks I used To Market designer papers and flower stamps from Regency Park stamp set.  I like using these flowers because there is a coordinating punch that makes cutting them out a lot faster than just fussy cutting.  

Here are a couple more house blocks made using Countryside Inn designer papers.  When I am out and about at craft store, I always look for stamps with Scriptures on them.  I have a whole bin full and love using them on my projects.  

I buy my blocks at various stores, mostly from the clearance section.  Then I paint them and decorate them with papers and sayings.  Here is a long block and I wasn't sure what to do with it.  But I had a long horizontal Scripture that fit just perfectly.  I sectioned off the block and added some cut outs from To Market papers.  It matched the card set and I was happy with how it turned out.

One of the cards from To Market class.  I ordered more of these papers; they work up so nicely with Crumb Cake and other tan papers.  

Here is a cute card that I made using Celebratory Sips designer papers and the cut-out heart from Friends for Life.  

Scripture blocks and cards make nice gifts and can be an encouragement to someone.  

Mixing Old with New

Today I took out the old stamp set, Time with You.  It has cute vintage images on it from 2006.  And check out the saying, "On the open road of life, may happiness be your destination."  Sweet, right?

 Although I made this card a couple of months ago, I loved the vintage look of the girl mixed with the look of the Regency Park papers, and wanted to make more.  :)

For the cards, I used some various sayings and on this card, I chose another color of the designer papers.  I added some Wink of Stella to the girl to give her some shine.  You can't see it in the photo, but she sparkles as she's riding her bike!

I have a lot, a really lot, of the Regency Park papers left over from the spring catalog, so you may see more things made with it!  Stampin Up is running the mini catalogs for only 4 months now instead of 6 months and I just don't get time to use up all of the products.  I hope they go back to 6 months next year!

These girls look like they are riding their bikes on the road to happiness.  :)

 

You're Just My Type

 After last week's class, I made more cards using Just My Type.  I love the little typewriter in the set and the cute flowers with mini envelopes!  

For my cards, I used Masterfully Made designer papers and mixed up the embellishments.  I love making cards where you can mix up the pieces.  

The green and yellow card is made using papers from Regency Park.  I have lots of this paper left over so you might be seeing more things made with it!  

Girl On a Bike

This week my friend Barb received a bicycle from their neighbor.  She wanted to send them a Thank You card and asked me if I had any cards with a bicycle on them.  I didn't really, but I told her that I would make one for her.  :)

After looking at some of my stamps, I realized that I didn't have much in the line of bicycle stamps.  But then I remembered an older set called Time With You from 2006 that had a cute girl on it who was riding a bike!

So I made this card for her.  I used designer papers from the Regency Park collection and added some punched flowers from the paper.  Seriously, how cute did that turn out?

I added some designer paper to the back of the envelope and some punched flowers to the front.  Everyone loved it.
