Mark 5:36

This is the 4th card in a series I've done using color splashes and stamp sets in the Faith Journey collection.  This sentiment is from the Trust the Lord [SS-0365] set.  I wanted to add an embellishment or two to this, but the sequins I tried were kind of overwhelming the card, but the Rainbow drops blend nicely with the background.  Card base: Orange Rave 8.5X11 [CS-0124] Color Splashes: Orange Rave Splash[IP-0122], Sour Lemon Splash[IP-0124], and Sweet Berry Color Splash[IP-0086]

Joshua 1:9

I like to jokingly say that 'Glitter is my signature color'.  I truly love how shiny the Journey Sparkle Dust[AC-0013] is.  For this card, I mixed Blue Lagoon Acrylic Paint[JM-0018] with Journey Modeling Paste [JM-0073] and applied with Starburst Lines- Stencil[JM-0007] using a Spatula[TO-0089].  I put the blue Rainbow Drops[AC-0178] in the large blank areas and stamped the sentiment from Through the Storm [SS-0364] with Blue Lagoon True Color Fusion Ink Pad[IP-0002] and cut out with a Journey Ovals[DI-0042]. I used Blue Lagoon 8.5 x 11 Card stock[CS-0004] for the card base.

Thank you Dahlia blooms.

This weekend, I went to Atlanta to teach a Silhouette class, and then I stayed to have a meeting with my Fun Stampers Journey downline. 

I made several cards with the color splashes, and there was one sheet of background that I didn't like, so I did a little trick; I stamped it with the Dahlia blooms set and heat embossed it. I was very happy with the results. I wanted the flower to really pop, so I put it on a black licorice card base. Then for the sentiment, I used a Bloom Benefits!

The best thing about this card is that it has already been given away! I added a quick note to the inside and gave it to the best dog sitter in the world. She sends me videos of Sunny every morning and evening.

Silent Night in Turbo Teal

 

I wish you could see all the sparkle on this card.  It's definitely not a traditional Christmas card, even though it does have a couple of traditional elements.  Such as sequins.  I remember Christmas balls that Grandma made with sequins and Styrofoam.  They were so pretty.  I've started one or two, but they take so long to make that I never finished.  Sequins are such a great addition to any homemade decoration. The Fun Stampers Journey Sequins Special Celebration come in a little jar and there are 3 different sizes in that jar.  There's no telling how many are in that jar, I've had several make and takes with them, and the jar still looks full. I bought the Tinsel Trim not knowing what I was going to do with it, but could not resist such a cute tiny replica of the traditional Christmas decoration!  Unfortunately, the stars are retired, but they were a bloom benefit for the previous catalog.  So easy to attach with Journey Glaze 2 oz.  And oh my goodness, this Oh Holy Bundle stamp set with matching dies is a thing of beauty! I stamped this sentiment with the Turbo Teal Ink Pad and attached it to the card with Journey Foam Squares.

The background was the easy part. Place one Color Splash Sheet in the bottom of a card board box. Take Shimmer Silver Color Splash and Turbo Teal Splash (be sure to shake the silver splash until you hear the mixing ball and the sediment is not on the bottom of the bottle, but mixed in) and just do one spray of each from 10-12 inches away.  I got the streaks by scraping the card against the flap of the box while the spray was still wet.  

Since I used the Turbo Teal ink and spray, I attached the Color Splash Sheet to some Turbo Teal 8.5X11 card stock cut in half.

Merry Christmas in July

There are times when I need a quick, simple card.  Christmas is one of those times for me becasue I make so many.  This is as simple as they come!  I used the Punch Handle and 1" Square Punch to create squares from the very cute, limited edition, 'Tis The Season Prints.  I mounted those on a 3 1/2" square of Kiwi Slice 8.5 x 11 Cardstock.

Three of the squares were pop-dotted with Journey Foam Squares - medium.  The 3 1/2" square was attached with some Journey Foam Squares - small.

Then I used the Holiday Cord Trio.  Isn't it so pretty with all the colors of a traditional Christmas twisted together for me?  I love how much I get on a roll. so far, I've gotten 40 cards out of one roll, and there's still more on the roll!

To finish out the front of the card, I stamped Merry Christmas in Kiwi Slice True Color Fusion Ink Pad, using a Bloom Benefit that has two stamps:
