Christmas Hearts

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

I have a NBUS stamp that got some use this week.

First I stamped on Black, heat embossed and filled some of the circles with gems.

A narrow gold mat finished was all it needed.  

Then I stamped it on vanilla cardstock.  Same technique but a different look.  I added

a die cut bow to this one.

The cards are a bit larger than usual, 4 1/2" x 6 1/4"

With Valentine's Day coming up and being my turn to host our Craft Group, I did

a bit of surgery on the stamp and we did art work for the holiday.

Now which one should I share with these challenges?

Challenges:

ABC Christmas - Anything Christmas

Peace on Earth -  Heart

NBUS #71 - Never Before Used Schtuff

 

  

Card Recipe

Stamps:  Big Bubble Heart (Woodware)

Ink:   Encore Gold

Paper:   Black (MFT), Vanilla (SU), Gold Foil, Red Foil

Other:  Gold EP, Gems (TH), Fit to Be Tied (Grtry)

Enjoy!

Warm and Cozy

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

This guy might be too warm and cozy.  It looks to me like he's melting.

At least he looks happy about it.

I've had this image for so long that I'm not sure where it came from.

I suspect it was a stamp that Nance brought for me to try out.

Anyway, it had been waiting for ink and it was finally time to get to it.

I didn't write down the Copic colors I used.  I try to remember to do that, but 

sometimes I slip up.

Challenges:

Double D - Warm and Cozy

Time Out #276 - Cozy

Christmas

Christmas Blessings

And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:)

To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child.

 And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered.

 And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.

 And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.

 And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.

 And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for,behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.

 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.

 And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.

 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,

 Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.

 And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us.

 And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger.

 And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child.

 And all they that heard it wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds.

 But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart.

 And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them.

Luke 2:4-20

May you have the gift of Faith

The blessing of Hope

And the Peace of His Love
