The Lord is Kind & Merciful Bible Journaling by Samantha

Hello! Samantha with you today to share what I've been doodling in my Bible lately. This week I have a page I did from Psalms. Here's my The Lord is Kind and Merciful Bible journaling. 

You'll only need a few supplies for this page:

The Lord Is Kind and Merciful Stamp Set
Color In Watercolor Pencils
Reminisce White Gel Pen 
Waterproof Black Ink
Light Blue Ink 

I started by blending a little light blue ink over the entire page. I intentionally left the color uneven and not blended well. I like the faded look it gives the background of the page.  Next I stamped my words on with waterproof black ink. I did cut apart some of my stamps. For example, "the LORD is" is one stamp. I cut the words apart so I could stack them up instead of using them in a line. Just make sure you use a strong, sharp scissors to cut them apart if you choose to do so.  

Next, I used my watercolor pencils to doodle some vines on my page and color in some of my stamped words. You guys, I have no artistic talent. I'm crafty, but I can barley draw stick people, so believe me when I tell you, doodling these vines is really, really easy.   I finished up by using the white gel pen to add some buds dots to my vines and color in a few of my stamped words. The white gel pen helps brighten up the page a bit and makes the stamped words pop a bit more.  

The Lord is Kind and Merciful Bible journaling is a nice way to try your hand at drawing in your Bible if you're a bit hesitant about your drawing skills. It's also a fun way to combine stamping and drawing in your Bible journaling.  

Refuge and Strength Bible Journaling by Samantha

Hello! Samantha here to share another Bible Journaling page that I've created. I love mixing SRM's Bible Journaling Stamps with watercolor pencils. Today I'm showing how I combine them for this Refuge and Strength Bible Journaling Page.

 

I color any and everywhere in my Bible, but I know not everyone loves to do that. Today I wanted to show that you can add just as much color even if you only want to journal in the margin (and do a little highlighting of the passages). 

I wanted a really definitive line for my margin, so stamped a stitched border from the Big Praise God stamp set. Then, I colored some messy rectangles in alternating colors with the super fun new Watercolor Twist Pencils. After I was done coloring, I went over the pencils with a Watercolor Blending Brush.  

I used stamps from two separate sets, The Lord is Kind and Merciful and Big Praise God, to then stamp my verse in the margin. This is especially easy to do if you have a large stamp block. Just arrange the stamps exactly like you want them on your page, and then stamp. Super simple! 

I finished up my Refuge and Strength Bible journaling page by highlighting the verse in on the left hand side in the same colors I used for my Bible Journaling and I added the border from the stamp as well.

2 Peter 3:18 Bible Journaling and Process Video by Christine

Hi there SRM Stickers Fans - Christine joining you today to share a new Bible Journaling piece and process video.  I can't get enough of the Watercolor Twist Pencils and Blender Pens so I used them to color in another Bible Journaling Page - this one based on 2 Peter 3:18.

All the stamping and coloring took some time but neither were difficult to do thanks to these great stamp sets!  I love the words included in the sets but I also just love the little stars and flowers perfect for coloring!  It's nice to have a variety in size and style too! 

Here's the stamp sets that I used to create this:

The Lord is My Light

Big Amen

The Lord is Kind and Merciful

Just Believe

You can check out the details behind creating it with this video!

We love seeing what you are creating - keep sharing all your beautiful Bible Journaling projects with us!

Thanks for dropping by!  Hope you have a blessed day.

Watercoloring with Christine

Today we welcome back Christine Meyer.   She loves her SRM and since she's the wife of a Lutheran pastor, she's really enjoying all the new Bible Journaling products.  Let's hear about Christine in her own words:

I'm Christine Meyer and I'm so delighted to be joining the SRM team for another year of creating with some of the best products around!  I grew up in Los Angeles and moved to Austin, Texas for college.  I met my husband there and have moved several times with him as he follows God's call to serve as a Pastor.  We moved to Ohio just over 6 weeks ago and are enjoying a new area to live in and explore.  I love to do Paper Crafting in just about any form and especially love to use it to document memories of my four kids!  I am currently on the Design Teams for Doodlebug Design, Paper House Productions, and My Creative Scrapbook as well as serving as the Design Team Coordinator/Social Media Coordinator for Paper House and My Creative Scrapbook.  I am blessed to stay at home with my kids and will be diving into homeschooling them this year for the first time!  Life keeps me busy but I love every minute of it!  Paper crafting provides some much needed downtime to help slow down that busy life! You can find more of my work on my blog, my facebook page, or as cameyer71 on Instagram.  

SRM has released so many great new products to make coloring and Bible Journaling easy, fun, and pretty.  Christine joining you today to share a page that I created to look like a Bible Journaling AND coloring page!

I started off my project by stamping the words I wanted from The Lord is Kind & Merciful set.  I love the way that there are so many different combinations of words that I could use.  Then I wanted to create a background that would mimic some of the popular coloring pages out there.  I used flowers from the The Lord is Kind & Merciful and the Just Believe set to do just that.  Then came the really fun part!  Trying out the new Watercolor Twist pencils!  These are great for this kind of project and super easy to use!  I created a little video to show you just how I used them and the blending pen!  It's so easy and fun!

As you can see it's not complicated at all.  And unlike traditional watercoloring, where you have to use water, these will work great for coloring without having to do any extra prep work on your paper!  One tip I have is to keep a tissue or paper towel handy to wipe off your blending pen between colors.

Here are the SRM Products I used: 

I can't wait to dive in and play with these more!
