Sunday School


Sunday School
to inspire your Spirit

As a Christian, I choose not to work on Sunday.  Although my blog is scheduled and I am not actually creating this post today; I still have a strong belief that we all need to take a break for the Sabbath Day.  Each week my Sunday post will change from inspiring your creativity, to inspiring your spirit.  I hope you enjoy the messages presented here each week.

Today’s Message is:  A Melody of Music

Come back tomorrow for more creative ideas . . .

This card is Sick!


Thoughts & Prayers

Who says a get well greeting can't be bright and happy looking?  Well, not my friend Tina.  Check this out!
The bright colors pop and will cheer up the receiver no matter what ails them!  Plus the added mini pearls from the Basic Pearls collection give it just a touch of bling...and we all know bling will make you feel better!


Again, a simple idea that looks like more because of the choice of Designer Series Paper, Basic pearls, and the great shape created by the Top Note die. 


Simple, simple, simple!


Until Next Time . . .

Card Template


He Said - She Said


I always hear that people are looking for more 'guy' cards but they can't seem to get a handle on how to do it.  I am not all that great at it myself, but I have found that using a template helps me with switching it up!

Here's the template I designed

The Girl Card

Supplies:
   
Stamp Set: Stippled Blossoms (w-#126745 C-#126747)
Card Stock:    Primrose Petals (#126841), Pink Pirouette(#111351), and Whisper White (#100730)
INKs:  Primrose Petals (#126858), Pink Pirouette (#126956), Certainly Celery (#126958), and Old Olive (#126953)
Accessories:  Stitched Satin Ribbon (Primrose Petals #126844), Vintage Faceted Designer Buttons (#127555), SNAIL adhesive (#104332 Refil #104331), Crystal Effects (#101055), Big Shot Machine (#113439), Textured Impressions Embossing Folder: Lacy Brocade (#127819) and Framelit Die: Window Frames Collection (#129021)
   
The Guy Card

Supplies:
   
Stamp Set:  Lovely As A Tree (w-#115026 C-#127793)

Many Marvelous Markers: (#119806)  River Rock and Soft Suede
INKs:  Soft Suede (#126978), River Rock (#126077)
Accessories:  Linen Thread (#104199)SNAIL adhesive (#104332 Refil #104331), Crystal Effects (#101055), Stampin' Dimensionals (#104430) Big Shot Machine (#113439), Textured Impression Embossing Folder: Woodgrain (#127821),and Bigz Die: Autumn Accents (#127812) 
FYI:  I cut the dies out twice and lightly trimmed the River Rock pieces to fit inside the Soft Suede pieces.  I also drew in the veins on each leaf.



I hope you liked this template.  Let me know if you used it, and please share you ideas!  I'd love to see them.  I will even post them if you are willing to let others see what you did!  (I do need your permission to do it...otherwise it's tacky LOL)

Until Next Time....
