Still Small Voice

 Today's mini art journaling page features several of the NEW Snowflake products from Creative Worship Stamps. I started by ink smooshing Mermaid Lagoon onto my page. I was going for a color blocking technique, but that failed, so I pivoted and added the stenciled snowflake and then the stamped and die cut ones. Some tiny rhinestones and a half back pearl add a bit of texture and shimmer. Shop the entire October Release here.

Color Blocking Christmas

 The Creative Worship Stamps Team Takes IG Hop & Challenge theme is color blocking this month. I admit this was a hard one for me, but that's kind of the point of a "challenge" right? My card features patterned paper color blocks decorated with printables, die cuts, and a stamped sentiment.

Autumn Birthday Folio

 The God Will Take Care of You stamp and die set from Stamp Simply is on sale this week and I used it to create an autumn birthday folio. For the papers and tags, I used a printable Scrapbook kit called Country Autumn found on Etsy. 

For the cover I cut my window out of kraft card stock and layered it on one cut from cardboard to create a more 3D effect. I inked over the top one with Vintage Photo Distress Ink and added a cheesecloth curtain behind. I cut two wreaths, inked over them with Peeled Paint Distress Ink, and layered them together to make them fuller. The images were stamped on mixed media paper and colored with Arteza Real Brush Pens. 

Supplies used:

• God Will Take Care of You Stamps
• God Will Take Care of You Dies
• Conservatory Window Die (Sizzix)
• Funky Wreaths Dies (Tim Holtz - Sizzix)
• Crochet Lace
• Cheesecloth   
• Vintage Photo & Peeled Paint Distress Ink (Ranger)
• Arteza Real Brush Pens

Inside I made two pockets, one vertical and one horizontal. I stamped the Falling Leaves border down the right side of my card. I accidentally dripped water near the bottom of the panel, so I used a piece of ephemera from the printable set to cover my whoopsie. 

Supplies used:

• Falling Leaves
• Farmhouse All Occasion Greetings
• Farmhouse Simple Sentiments
• Sari Ribbon
• Mini Paper Clips
• Slot Punch 
• Versafine Clair Nocturne Ink    

The two little tags were created from one of the plainer pieces of printable paper and I added images and a tiny banner to one and stamped images to the other. I love adding bits of lace, ribbon, and tiny paperclips to make things feel a little more cozy. 

Supplies used:

• Boho Fall Leaves Stamp Set
• Birthday Sentiments
• Baptism, Dedication, Confirmation, Communion stamp set 
• Crochet Lace
• Kraft Twine
• Versafine Clair Nocturne Ink    

The back pocket features two more pieces of printable paper and ephemera from the digital scrapbook kit that I fancied up with images and sentiments from Stamp Simply. 

Supplies used:

• Boho Pumpkins Stamps Set
• Farmhouse All Occasion Greetings
• Typewritten What You Mean to Me
• Sari Ribbon
• Versafine Clair Nocturne Ink    
• Slot Punch 
• Gingham Ribbon

From our home to yours

 
Today's card uses the NEW Snowflake Whimsy Background from Creative Worship Stamps and several non-Christmas sets to create a festive front door card. I cut the flowers from the top of the flower pots and added a pine branch instead. For the garland above the door, I cut one of the lovely wreaths in half and layered the pieces adding Nuvo drops, a ribbon, and white splatters.  Shop the entire October Release here.
