Our Savior Lives

Hello,

I have another Easter project to share today :)

I decided to make some bookmarks

for some of my friends at church.

I just purchased this wonderful stamp

and die set from Papertrey Ink.

It is called Inspired: Savior Mini Stamp Set

and it is only $5.00!!  The matching Savior Die is only $4.00

I used precut bookmarks that I bought at Joann's

I inked them up with some Kelly's Fashion Inks

I purchased from Hero Arts.  I stamped the

sentiment in the same ink and then added

some clear embossing powder and heat embossed the sentiment. 

For the sun and the clouds, I once again returned to

My Favorite Things!    The sun is the Sunny Skies Die-Namics

and the Puffy Clouds Die-Namics for the clouds.

All the ladies loved these :)

Thanks again for stopping by :)

With Mother's Day just around the corner
I made this lovely card for my mother-in-law
The roses are a  file from the Silhouette Store
I used Design ID #66298

I created an offset and resized it almost to the size of the

original cut.  I cut both pieces out of white paper.

I watercolored the offset using Tim Holtz Distress Inks

in Pickled Raspberry and Mowed Lawn.

 I used my Wink of Stella Glitter Brush Markers

to color in the top layer.

The card base is from Pretty Paper Pretty Ribbon 

The Just for Mom stamp set had just the right

pieces to build my sentiment.

I also added a few of the large pink sequins

from the Dream Catcher Mix.

Welcome back for another

 My Cricut Craft Room



On WYEGW, we can use anything on the cricut cartridge EXCEPT the main image.  For my project today, I chose the A Child's Year Cartridge.  For the longest time I hesitated on buying this cartridge, since my kids all all grown up and I thought I had no need for this cart.  I kept see projects made on other blogs and the Cricut Messageboards using this cartridge.  So I finally decided to buy it!!

I picked the image on page 39, it is using the ICON feature using the shift key.  Here is the sneak peak!!

I cut the image at 3.5" in cream color cardstock.  I knew I wanted to cover it with stickles.  When I first tried painting on the stickles, I was not getting full coverage.  You could see alot of the cream color, so I decided to wipe off the stickles and add some color with chalk. 

Here is what the image looked like with just the chalk.

Pretty good, but I needed to add the sparkle, so I added Candy Cane and Green Stickles.  All the paper is from Close to My Heart "Elegant Bouquet" paper pack.  I have alot of the older CTMH paper packs, so now I am trying to use them.  I have so much paper, I kind of vowed not to buy anymore until I used up at least some of what I have.  We will see how long that will last...LOL!! 

Here is a picture of the finished card.

I inked the edges of all the paper with Distress Ink in Tea Dye.  I used the Swiss Dots and Divine Swirls Cuttlebug folders for the two mats.  I added some My Craft Spot Crinkle Ribbon in Scarlett Red.  I finished the card off with a tag from the coordiating sticker stack from CTMH and the sentiment is from Paper Trey Inks "Birthday Basics" Set.
