Still Lovin' the Black and White

Hi All! A quick post today - another Black and White card using those pretty Bold Black and White digi papers from Lindsay's Stamp Stuff! I just love how you can print one sheet of paper, cut it down and make 4 card fronts. Super quick, super easy and super frugal. I also love this stamp set Lindsay gave me - I have used it often - thank you!
Here are a few of her gorgeous and fun digi papers that you can buy at Mygrafico!

Scripture Swap

Wow! It's Thursday again already. I'm feeling better, but it's been crazy trying to catch up from being sick last week! I had a swap to complete for Awna at the Stamp Shack. We are making 4x6 inch flat cards with Bible verses on them. I'm putting mine in an inexpensive 4x6 album to make a nice daily devotional kind of book, along the idea of the ones you can buy in the stores. But this one is extra special because the pages have come to me from friends all around the country. :)

This is a simple project using part of a card kit from Lindsay's Stamp Stuff! She now has 3 fabulous card kits available in her stamp store. I just love them! (I'll list the links at the bottom of this post.)

I started with a 4x6 black panel of cardstock and rounded the corners with my round-it-all. Next, I punched out the file tab using cream cardstock and then punched it with my crop-a-dile. I inked it with gold ink and attached a silver eyelet and gold ribbon to make a clipboard top. Using the Elegant Black and White card kit, I then typed my Bible verse on one of the page pieces and printed it out on cream cardstock. You could easily use a rub on, sticker or hand write a verse on the card as well.

Next, I used versa mark ink and gold embossing powder to stamp/emboss the little heart below the verse (not sure who makes this stamp). I centered and attached the tab to the top of my cream panel (also corner rounded) and then lastly, a prima flower with brad center in the lower right hand corner. Done. Quick and easy!

I actually made 12 of these cards. To make multiples, just crop out the card kit piece you want to use, then paste it onto your new sheet using your photo editing program. I put 4 pieces of this one design on a sheet of cardstock. Next, type and paste your Bible verse onto each card piece, then print out as many as you need.

Here are the links to Lindsay's three card kits, available in her store for just $2 each! Wow! What a deal! And remember, she is still offering her "Spend $5 and get a free stamp" deal through the end of this month, so hurry on over and don't miss out!

Still not sure about using digital? Well, being the kind soul that she is, Lindsay has posted a couple of freebies on her blog. If you want to try a card kit for FREE (before getting totally hooked), you can download a card kit and a coordinating stamp from her blog Thefrugalcrafter's Weblog. Happy Stamping Everyone!

Bible Verse Swap at the Stamp Shack

I made this 4x6 card panel for a swap that I participated in at the Stamp Shack, hosted by Awna. We made and swapped 10 panels, and when I get them all back, I'll put them in an Inspirational Album that I can read whenever I need a little "pick me up". I used my cuttlebug embossing folders for this project. I inked up the debossing side of my folder (background, not image) with Pretty Petunia VersaMagic Chalk Ink and put a 3x5 piece of cream cardstock in the inked folder and ran it through the machine. Once it was dry, I attached a Martha Stewart pearl stick-on to the center of one of the embossed flowers. I attached a sheer lavendar ribbon around the bottom 1/3 of the panel. Next, I stamped the verse (Stampedous) onto lavendar Bazzill paper with Jumbo Java VersaMagic Chalk Ink and attached that to the embossed cream panel. Lastly, I attached the cream panel to a 4x6 purple Bazzill paper panel and that's it. Done. Easy and elegant. My kind of project! I just signed up for Awna's next swap, for 10 more Bible Verse panels! I think they will all make a lovely book, which I will post as soon as I have received them! Have a happy day everyone!
