Brush Lettering Bookmarks by Christine

Hello!  Christine here sharing something I made.  Last week as I was doing our homeschool routine with the kids, I realized I needed some bookmarks to help me keep track of where we were at in books.  Why not make those bookmarks inspirational!?! And why not make them myself and have fun doing it!?!  That is of course where SRM came in!  I combined a couple of the new Marker Sets and Bible Journaling stamps to create some lovely bookmarks!

I created a video showing how I made a couple of these bookmarks!

I don't talk too much about how to do the brush lettering in the video but Susan has a great video that she recently created showcasing that!

Let's take a closer look at the bookmarks I made:

This first one uses the stamp set Amazing Grace and focuses on the verse Psalm 46:10 and the flowers come from Just Believe.

This one uses an older stamp set Words of Faith and focuses on Psalm 107:1 - the butterfly stamp comes from Just Believe and the little flower comes from Amazing Grace.

Everything on this bookmark comes from the Amazing Grace stamp set and it focuses on Matthew 28:20.

Last up I used the Trust in the Lord stamp set and focuses on 1 Thessalonians 5:18

These are going to be great reminders as I go about my day to day work!

Bible Journaling with Christine

It is so relaxing to do Bible Journaling during stressful times!  I love searching for a verse to create with that hits home!  My family is currently packing up for an out of state move and there's a whole lot of trusting in the Lord happening.  So Jeremiah 17:7 felt like the perfect verse to capture my mood and serve as a reminder as I open up my Bible!

I like to journal on some sturdy cardstock and insert it by the verse in the Bible - I know lots love to do the margins - I just have a different approach :)

After creating my background using watercolor paints, I used a combination of stickers and stamps to write out the verse.  The Big Faith stamp supplied both the word "Blessed" and my stitching border.

I used the Words of Faith Stamp set for my crosses.  The solid black hearts come from the Life is Good stamp set and the others are punched out of patterned paper.  I have to mention how great the Black Le Pen is for this type of project - I used it for all my outlining and it works beautifully!

We've got a ton of new Bible Journaling stamps coming your way soon so be sure to stay tuned to see their release!

I Chose You - Bible Journaling by Shannon

Good morning! I hope this post finds you well.  It's me Shannon sharing another bible journaling journey with you. Something I want to point out to you as you'll probably be seeing more and more bible inspired posts here at SRM, there is no wrong or right way to begin. You may feel intimidated or overwhelmed, maybe you don't know where to begin? It all starts with a single step, like any journey. 

My first entry in my bible looks nothing like the one you'll see in this post, I was terrified that I would ruin it, but friends, you can't ruin something that you're on out of pure inspiration. Some of your entries will be simple, some of them will be complex. You are going to find that every entry will be driven by a different reason each time. 

I used SRM Little Borders (in Black and White), Clear Stamps in Words of Faith, Le Pens and Sticker Stitches as I worked on my page.

Here is a close up of some of the detail in the stamps that I used to stamp inside the hearts:

As you do your Bible Journaling, do not force yourself to journal, if you're not feeling it, walk away and come back to it, this isn't any kind of contest, this is your personal spiritual journey, or your personal time to get to know God better.  Here are the SRM products that I used on this page.  Look closely and you will see how each of these stamps, stickers and pens have been woven together to create my page.

I can't tell you enough how SRM has so many options for you to make your bible journaling pages spectacular....and I am sure you can look forward to many new exciting options in the future! I hope that you will share your Bible Jounaling using SRM products on our Flickr. 

Faith ● Hope ● Love Bible Journaling by Shannon

Good morning, Shannon here, sharing some bible journaling with you today. SRM has some great products for documenting your faith. There's stickers, stamps and pens, just to name a few. I'm sharing a page I created using some watercolors, markers, a LePen and SRM stamps. 

I repeated the cross symbol you see here, to build up the verse I was concentrating on. I am trying to catch up to the current date, but as with all things, I am not perfect, and I have to remember there is no wrong or right way to journal in my bible. 

SRM has an excellent stamp set for this very thing. The stamp set is called "Words of Faith", it's your favorite things about SRM Stickers in the form of a stamp! You can see the crosses, which is one of images available on the sheet and you can also see the words at the top (faith●hope●love●faith) as well. I shadow stamped the words with a watery red, this gave some depth and dimension to the page.  

I used a black Le Pen to outline the verse, add "stitches" and the date. You'll also see the book/chapter/verse documented with the black Le Pen as well. I used a thicker pen I had on hand to journal the words. I used a red Le Pen to fill in the heart. 

Here is a close up to the crosses, I used an ombre ink pad to stamp the crosses, I wanted it to fill airy and watery. When I begin my pages, I often never know where they will lead me, I definitely wanted it to lend to a dreamy, muted feel, yet have presence. 

One more quick close up of the stamps for you, SRM stamps are so amazing to work with, they leave clean, crisp images on your pages. 

Thank you for letting me share with you! Have a great day! 

God Is Love Bible Art by Tenia

Tenia from Jazzy Paper Designs here and hope all is well!! I have been seriously getting into faux calligraphy, hand lettering and Bible verses!! I have a very fun Bible Art journaling page for y'all......CHECK IT!!!

This was a simple and fun page to create!! The SRM products that I used are shown below: Words of Faith stamp set (for the crosses and the mini sentiments of faith•hope•love•faith), the LePen Pens  and Sticker Stitches. 

The rest I created with Spectrum Aqua markers (I used these markers and smooshing technique for the background), I used some Tombow Brush markers for the hand lettering and Memento Tuxedo Black Ink!!

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!!

Words of Faith Cards by Christine

The Words of Faith stamps aren't just for Bible Journaling they work great for cards too!  Christine joining you today with some faith based cards.

It's always nice to have cards on hand that are perfect for a variety of situations and this one fills that need.  I did a bunch of layers of various products from my stash and then added the "Trust in the Lord" from the Words of Faith Stamp Set as a sentiment.  I love the springy feel that it has and that in combination with the sentiment it just has an uplifting feeling to it!

I love that there are sentiments in this stamp set that can be for comforting, encouraging, and celebrating - it covers a wide variety and can not only meet your Bible Journaling needs but be perfect for all your cards too!

Which sentiment is your favorite?

Bible Journaling with Christine

Have you had a chance to try out our Bible Journaling stamps yet? They are so handy for this art and create a beautiful clear image!  Christine joining you today to share a Bible Journaling piece on 2 Thessalonians 3:16.

I don't do my journaling straight into my Bible - I prefer to do it on a sturdy piece of cardstock and slide it inside my Bible at that location.  For this one I did a watercolored background!  

I used both the Words of Faith Stamp set and the Big Faith stamp set on this piece.  Life has definitely presented some challenges to me lately - so you will notice I'm giving myself a bit of a pep talk on trusting the Lord!

I created the actual verse on the project using a combination of letter stickers (outlined with my Black Le Pen!) and stamping.  Then I stamped onto White Medium Punched Pieces and added my journaling onto those.  They were the perfect size for working on this!

Bible Journaling by Christine

Have you had a chance to try out SRM's new stamps for Bible Journaling yet?  I heard this verse multiple times last week and decided to spend some time creating and reflecting on it.  Christine joining you today to share a new Bible Journaling piece.  Everyone has a different approach to the Bible Journaling, some do it right in there Bible and some do it on a separate paper.  Some just journal about the verse, some do just the verse, and some do a combination of both.  You'll find that I like to do it on separate paper and I do a mixture in my approach.  If I know the journaling will be personal but I'd like to share the final piece, I put my journaling on the back!  For today's project I focused on 2 Timothy 1:7.

I like to use Watercolor paper as my base - that way if I decide to use water it is a little less likely to warp.  This time I went for a ton of doodling, stamping, and gelatos.

The first thing I did was stamp "love" using the Big Faith stamps.  And then I wrote out the rest of the verse around it.  I've been dabbling in hand lettering and this time of art is the perfect place to play with it!  The Le Pens are perfect for this type of doodling!  

I thought it would be neat to use the heart from Planner/Notes to Self stamp set as the center of some doodled flowers. I colored it in with my pen!

The point of this verse is that sometimes we have to be bold but it should be done in a loving and disciplined way.  The "Shine Your Light" stamp from the Words of Faith Stamp Set perfectly embraced that message and I thought it was a nice addition to the journaling!

We'd love to see what you are creating with these stamps too!  Share them with us on Facebook, Instagram, or our Flick'r Account!

Blessed Bible Journaling by Christine

Have you tried out Bible Journaling yet? Many people journal right in their bible but I choose to be inspired by the bible to create faith based artwork.  Hope you enjoy it! 

 Christine joining you today to share a new Bible inspired piece using the newest stamps from SRM! At the end of a long, challenging week - sitting down with some watercolor paints, my Bible, and beautiful stamps was just what my heart needed.  Here's what I created to share with you:

I used the new BIG Faith Stamps to create my row of "Blessed" words.  

I used nine as a base to journal in the part of scripture called the Beattitudes from Matthew 5.  Each phrase begins with "Blessed" in the verses and I thought it would be neat to do those.

I created my background using watercolors.  That was a first for me!  I got some watercolor paper and then just started painting circles and overlapping them.  

After I added in all the writing/word stamping that I wanted on it I used the cross stamp from Words of Faith stamp set and added some of those.  

I then doodled some circles and actually decided to fill in the crosses to give it a bold punch! I love that the cross is open so you have the option to add designs or doodles to it!  I'm going to be hanging this up just above my scrapbooking desk as a regular reminder for myself!

Bible Journaling by Christine

Hi SRM fans!  Christine joining you today with a chance to share some faith based projects. I was so excited when I heard SRM was coming out with some stamps that are for Bible Journaling.   I haven't got into the journaling directly into the Bible - but I do love to sketch out verses that are meaningful to me and get artistic with those.  Today I have a few to share with you that highlight SRM stamps!  I used gelatos to make all my backgrounds and didn't involve water at all.  

First up I did a page with 1 Corinthians 13:13 and focused especially on the "faith, hope, and love" part using the Words of Faith and BIG Faith Stamps.  I also used a bunch of stamps from the Doodle Flower stamp set - this was a really nice addition to the words!  To create my background I simply did a quick blot from the gelato and then used a sponge to spread it out.

This second one I went a lot bolder with the gelatos and really made the color richer.  The verse came from Psalm 115:18.  I experimented with using extra layers of paper on this one to see how that changed up the coloring and effect (see "Praise the Lord"). I love that about journaling - it allows you to experiment! I used all the same stamp sets but this time created a scene of flowers and really played up the border stamp from the Doodle Flower Stamp Set!

My last page comes from Philippians 4:4 and really focuses on the Big Faith stamp and the heart is from the Life is Good stamp set.   

I know you are going to love these stamps - not only for Bible Journaling but also cards and planners too!  We can't wait to see what you create!
