Joshua 1:9

Send encouragement to someone with this card. Thoughts? 

Stamps:

   Stampabilities

Paper:

   Rose Red A-2

   Painted Blooms DSP 5-1/4 x 4

   Basic White 5-1/4 x 4 (Inside), 1 x 4

   Gold Scraps

Ink:

   Tuxedo Black Memento

   Daffodil Delight

Technique:

   Sponging

   Punching

   Die Cutting

Accessories:

   Lovely Labels Pick a Punch

   Cross of Hope Framelits

   Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack

   Stitched Rose Red Ribbon - 6"

   Sponge

   Basic Pearl Jewels

   Glue Dots

   Dimensionals

   Adhesive

First, I stamped, punched, and sponged my sentiment. 

I then wrapped 6" of the Stitched Rose Red Ribbon around the lower part of the DSP panel. I used glue dots to adhere the ribbon. I found that the glue dots help to keep the ribbon in place, and they are less messy than liquid adhesive. Use any adhesive you have on hand or your favorite. 

Next, I adhered the DSP panel onto the Rose Red card front.

I then attached the sentiment to the upper part of the card front, using dimensionals.

Next, I added 3 gold flowers on the ribbon, using dimensionals. I punched these, using the Itty Bitty Punch Pack. Every time I have a scrap of gold paper, I punch or die cut small things like stars, hearts, crosses, and flowers to use whenever I choose. I separate them into small plastic bags and keep them readily available with my other embellishments. I add a sticker with the die cut or punch I used, so I can include it in the write-up.

I then adhered a cross between the sentiment and the ribbon.

Lastly, I added a few pearls and adhered a Basic White panel to the inside of the card.

Strength & Courage

I like to get as many impressions from my gel press as possible. This was one of the last ones I made before storing it away again. I was going to toss it in the trash, but then decided to keep it for a while. I think it worked nicely for this die cut. What do you think?

   Stampabilities: Joshua 1:9

Paper:

   Basic Black A-2

   Gel Press Panel 5-1/2 x 3-3/7

Ink:

   Tuxedo Black Memento

Technique:

   Die Cutting

Accessories:

   Aspen Tree Dies

   Black Rhinestone Jewels

   Adhesive

First, I took the gel press panel from my stash and die cut it, using the Aspen Tree Dies.

I then adhered it to the Basic Black card front.

Next, I stamped the sentiment on a Basic White strip and adhered it using adhesive.

Lastly, I added a few Black Rhinestone Jewels, and adhered the other Basic White panel to the inside of the card.
