Love is Patient by Michele

Good morning! Michele here with a card using the new Bible Margin's Love stamp set. 

I truly love this verse......there is so much truth to these words. 

I used a stencil to create a soft wood grain texture to the background. 

I stamped directly over it using black ink and my Mini Misti.  I stamped it 3 times to get a crisp, black impression. I added a bit of color using my Copic markers. 

I added a couple of strips of blue card stock and added cream colored twine and a couple of pink posies. Lastly, I added a few pink gems scattered about the card. 

Thank you so much for stopping by today!

Faith Card by Michele

Good morning friends! Michele here with a card using the new Bible Margin's Love stamp set.  I stamped the sentiment with Versamark ink and heat embossed it in gold.  I added a bit of color to the hearts with Copic Markers.  I inked up the panel with a bit of soft blue and pink.  I went a bit glitter crazy and added it to the edges of my sentiment. 

The card itself was a cut from Silhouette.  I added more glitter to it and pink gemstones. I love how soft and feminine it turned out. 

Thank you for spending a bit of time with me today!

Add Subtle Color With Water Color Pencils by Samantha

Hello! Samantha here with you today. There are so many fun ways to use water color pencils. Today I'm sharing how to add subtle color with water color pencils to your cards and embellishments. 

 For this card I used the Bible Margins Love stamp set, ColorIn Water Color Pencils, A 4" White Doily, gray ink, and some coordinating patterned paper. 

 I love water color pencils, because you can get a soft, subtle color that can be tricky to get from other mediums (like markers). You can also blend 2 or 3 pencils together to get just the right color, like I did for my shade of peachy pink. 

On the far right, you can see the peach marker (which was just too peach for what I wanted), the pink in the center was too bright, so I colored the peach first, overlaid it with the pink, and blended it with just the tiniest bit of water, to get the soft peach pink you see on the far left. 

You can even add subtle color with water color pencils to embellishments like doilies. So the next time you need a soft touch of color, reach for your ColorIn Water Color pencils!

"We Love" Card by Michele

Hello there! Michele here with a card using the Bible Margins Love stamp set.  I wanted a soft background for the sentiment so I used a stencil and dye 

inks to create the polka dots.  I used a scalloped die to cut the panel into 

two pieces.  The sentiment (which I love) was stamped in black ink directly 

over the polka dot panel.  I used a Misti to be sure I could stamp it a couple 

of times for a crisp black sentiment.  

I popped the panels over a piece of patterned paper I had laying on my desk.  

It had similar colors and I liked how they worked together.  To finish the card, 

I added a few sequins and two colors of silk ribbon. 

Thank you so much for popping by today for a visit!!

Love You Card by Tobi

Hello there!! I'm here to share a colourful card made with Bible Margins: Love clear stamp set. 

Are you wondering how you could use bible journal stamps other than in your bible?  

Not a bible journaler? 

Neither am I, but there are still lots of great ways to use these stamps on cards, tags, and other projects! 

I took the plunge and cut the stamps up to separate the images/words/phrases so I could mix and match for cards and tags. (Make sure you use good scissors if you're going to do this. I used the Tim Holtz large scissors by Tonic. (I actually cut up my stamps often and they are always my go-to scissor. I think it's the serrated edges that make them so good for cutting rubber and photopolymer)

The heart image is what inspired this card, so I stamped it in four different colours (Distress Oxides) and stamped "Love you" (two different stamps) in black ink.

Faith Bookmarks by Shelly

Hey y'all! Shelly, here.

Today, I'm sharing some simple faith bookmarks with you.

I started with making my bookmark by using a die and chose a simple patterned paper to use with it. After I used my die once more with regular cardstock and then adhered the two papers together. 

Once done, I stamped on my faith sentiments using a dark grey ink. Then I added some twine and a wooden button at the end. Easy peasy, right?!...

Thank you so much for stopping by!

Enjoy your day!

Faith Cards by Melanie

Hello! Melanie here today and I am sharing a couple of cards I made using the new Bible Margins Love Clear stamps.

These stamps are wonderful for stamping in Bible margins or for bookmarks, too. I used a masking technique to just use a portion of the stamps for my cards. I used a small sticky note to cover the part of the stamp I wasn't going to put on the card. Then I inked the stamp. After removing the sticky note, I could stamp the portion with ink onto the paper.

 By using the same basic overall design for both cards, I was able to complete them rather quickly. I varied the patterned papers and width of the strips.

 The Sticker Stitches are probably my #1 go-to product by SRM. I use them all the time. For these cards, the dot stitch was a perfect way to anchor the sentiment banner to the card.

Wishing you a "LOVE"-ly day! :)

No Heat Foil Faith Cards by Shelly

Hey y'all! Shelly, here.

Today, I'm sharing a set of foil faith cards with you. And did I mention, I used no heat and no fancy machine for the foiling!?! :)

I started with my stamps. I did some masking with the images and the rest I just stamped in black ink. Now for my images, I used a paintbrush with glue and 'painted' it on my images and then stamped it on my card with the sentiment piece. (Note: a stamping platform works great for this, so everything lines up.)

Once having my image stamped on my card, I cut a piece of foil to fit over it. Then pressed it down my my fingers and simply ran it through my die cutting machine. After, I peeled off the foil and....ta-da! A foiled image! 

To finish my cards off, I used a black pen and added a simple line around the card. I usually prefer my lines to be straight but I really liked the 'freehand' of a little bit straight and a little bit not so straight. ;) 

Thanks so much for stopping by!
Enjoy your day!
