The Greeting Farm Faith Stamps: In Christ I Am

Happy Wednesday everyone! We have a new Faith Stamp Release today at The Greeting Farm! I can't tell you how much I love these stamp sets! They are so versatile and can not only be used for Bible Journaling, but also to make cards, bookmarks or even add to your scrapbook layouts or planners. 

This year, we are releasing one stamp set a month! And to top it all off, The Greeting Farm has a new, improved, and mobile-friendly Store!! It's a brand new site so be sure to register again and update your password so you can stay up-to-date on everything coming your way! 

 

Today's set is called IN CHRIST I AM. I've been going through some trials over the past several weeks, and this set really spoke to me. I'm reminded that no matter what is going on, I can find comfort, healing, and love in Christ. Working with these faith stamps really helps me to stay focused on the important things.

 

 

I gold embossed two of the flowers on watercolor paper to create my background paper. I was going to watercolor them, but at the last minute decided to leave them plain. Then I decided to pull out some vellum that was collecting dust, LOL! I stamped the front with StazOn Ink and then used my zig markers on the backside of the vellum so it didn't smear any of the black ink. Then I just used some clear tape runner around the edges of the vellum to adhere it to the front of the card.

Head over and scope out The Greeting Farm Store. The NEW format is fabulous!

Hugs,

Rosie

C.C. Designs Newsletter Project: Roberto's Rascals Puppy Power!

Happy Thursday everyone! Have you seen the New Release at C.C. Designs? Oh my word, I LOVE it all!! I don't even have a dog or puppy, but I can't get enough of the stamps and dies! They are so CUTE and so much fun to play with!

To showcase the stamps and tons of dies released this month, I decided to alter an 8x8 Wood Frame. I love making these frames, and they allow me to add a ton of stuff to them. I used two puppies and a sentiment from Roberto's Rascals Puppy Power. The puppies are peeking out of the middle area, haha!

Copics:

Puppies: E41, E42, E43, E44, C2, C3, C5, R11

I used a ton of the new dies on this project. The Heart Banner Metal Die is showcased in the top right corner. I used the letters from the Alphabits Clear Set to stamp the word PUPPY on the banner. Then I used one of dies from the Spinners Metal Die set to cut the wavy white line. I put the white wavy cut-out under my acrylic block and then shaped the stamp on top of the block so it would line up. That's the great thing about clear sentiment stamps....you can curve them. :)

The love banner was made using the small diamond shape from the Diamond Metal Dies. I used the Love Word Metal Die for the letters on the banner. To finish it off, I added the die-cut puppy and dog house from the Puppy Accessories Metal Die Set at the bottom of my frame. The sentiment inside the dog house is from the Puppy Power Clear Set. The longer sentiment inside the frame is from Penny Black.

The cute digital papers are called Puppy Love and purchased from Etsy. After I cut out my paper pieces, I like to run them through my Xyron Sticker Maker so I get a quick and even amount of adhesive on the back. It makes the assembly process so much faster!

Now be sure to head over to the C.C. Designs Store to snatch up all of the awesome stamps and dies for your collection!

Hugs,

Rosie
