You Will Abound

11/17/2022

Whew, I'm so glad NBUS #44 has rolled over again - I have a couple new toys that need some ink!
It's pretty rare for me to stray from my Mother Ship, as readers know - but one thing I can't resist is really good scripture sets! Trust me, I buy all the ones Stampin' Up makes, hoping they get the hint to produce more, lol. A friend turned me on to this company, Stamp Simply, and I was smitten! Today's sentiment is from their Autumn Blessings set, and I love it! Corinthians always reminds us of everything we need to know!

Timeless Prayer

So excited that we have a tic-tac-toe challenge this week at Retro Rubber #187! And it will go great with our "create your own DSP" theme at SU Only #306!
I always have such a hard time playing tic-tac-toe with cards, lol - too much choice! I finally settled on the right hand column - diecut, copper and patterned paper, which I made myself, of course. And somehow I still had "green" on the brain, lol, since I went all Soft Succulent to boot! Anyway, I first created a stamped off background using my still-beloved Timeless Textures from 2019 - the set with the coffee rings?? Never letting that one go, lol. I then added a sentiment from the current Hope & Prayer, stamped on a Tasteful Label. I wrapped up with some copper sequins. Love this quite card!
I can't wait to see YOUR project this round - meet you there!

OK, this is a gimme for me, lol, The Sisterhood of Crafters would like us to add layers this week! No problemo!
I decided on some simple layers, highlighting our still-gorgeous Sun Prints DSP. I'm also continuing my love-affair with our new Deckled Rectangle Dies, too, my new go-to dies, it seems. One of my favorite things to do on larger dies is make "custom" sizes with them, running through a second time to take off a "bite," as I did today to make my sentiment layer. Check it out - I'm still all matchy-matchy!

Hearts and Hands

Such a fun cue this week at Shopping Our Stash #464 - "you deserve a hand!"
I knew right away what set I wanted to use, too, lol. I've had this set from Our Daily Bread called Lift Up Our Hands since 2009, and I haven't used it since then, lol. I think I originally got it because it went so perfectly with the theme our church used to use for their annual auction, which was called "Hearts & Hands." We don't have that event any more {SOB} but this Lamentation quote is just as awesome! So nice to get it out again!

Inspiring Psalm 19

Now THIS is a cool challenge for Christmas Day! Time Out Challenges #203 wants us to be inspired by "inspiration!" So many possibilities!
So, I got to thinking about how a scripture quote could be perfect for this challenge, and after I spotted this gorgeous paper in our upcoming Flowering Fields DSP, I knew just which one I wanted, and it's not too shabby for Christmas Day either, lol, and I even got in lots of layers. So much wonderful scripture inspires me, especially "For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given." Glory to the newborn King.

The True Vine

What a great quote from Da Vinci for this week's Time Out Challenge #201 - now THIS is a call for a CAS card!
I think I kept it pretty CAS, but managed a bit of sophistication, too. I really wanted to go back to my I Am set from Divinity Designs - today's John 15:1 quote is such a profound one. Seems to answer Da Vinci's quote on a few levels for me, lol. Anyway, while I kept the image and sentiment sparse, I also really dialed up the texture for my background, and couldn't resist a few soft green gems to finish things off. I even sponged some "vine" on my envelope from the diecut leftovers!

Filled With the Spirit

Oo, what a perfect theme for a great anniversary! Time Out Challenge #200 wants us to think "precious!"
So, I just returned from a 3-day Centering Prayer Silent Retreat, and it was such a refreshing and rejuvenating time. I had plenty of space to reflect on the term "precious" while I was there, and to celebrate the fruits of the spirit we found. So when I spotted this quote from Romans 15:13 in my new Holy Spirit set from Divinity Designs, I knew I had found my "precious," lol. I am definitely "overflowing" right now, and hope I can share that spirit with all of you...

Stenciled John 14

Oo, good one! The Sisterhood of Crafters would like us to showcase stencils this week!
After I got to make a lovely scripture card for TSOT last week, I thought I'd go check and see if there was anything new out at Divinity Designs - and I'm delighted that I found TWO new sets to me, one of which is this gorgeous collection of John "I am" sayings. The set is naturally called "I Am," lol. So perfect. And also just right for floating over my favorite cracked glass stencil in the Plenty of Patterns set - a match made in Heaven!

Tuesday Lamentations

I am loving our mix-it-up combo this week at Try Stampin' on Tuesday #525!
Some folks may already know this about me, but I have one tiny stampin' indulgence outside of my beloved Stampin' Up! The scripture sets at Our Daily Bread, now called Divinity Designs, are a real indulgence for me. I swear, I do get every scripture set SU! makes, but the detailed verses from Divinity just can't be beat. I don't often get a chance to feature them on cards, but the cards I make with them always inspire my prayer practice! Today's card, with its reminder of His compassion, really spoke to me today...
I can't wait to see YOUR takes on this week's mix-it-up - meet you at the challenge!

In{k}spired Psalm 84

Gorgeous combo over at this week's In{k}spire Me #455! Check out those colors!
I got to thinking, I haven't done a pretty scripture card lately - I bet I can find a stamp that fits that banner shape! And of course I did, from Our Daily Bread's Scripture Collection 6. I don't think I've stamped this one before! Anyway, the colors really reminded me of all the lovely prints from our beautiful Harvest Meadow DSP pack, so I pulled in some of those sheets for this one, too - so pretty! I even cut out a few stems in the coordinating colors, too!
