God Is Bigger Vintage Postcard

Hello hello hello it has been a while since my last blog post. Friends, God is bigger today and always, in any seasons. He is there for you and with you.

I love collecting postcards from any places we visited. But this month I have made several postcards and I am in love with making them. Today, I wanna share this God is Bigger Vintage Postcard I made.

I wanna share this mixed media God is Bigger Vintage Postcard today for our Vintage Vibes Instagram Hop! Come join us and hop along and comment for your chance to win a $25 gift code. Hop starts at Creative Worship Stamps Instagram. The winner will be announced September 26, 2025, on Creative Worship Stamps IG.

I made this mixed media vintage postcard using Creative Worship Stamps supplies:

  • Vintage Floral Collection Stamp Set [NEW]
  • Vintage Postcards Stamp Set [NEW]
  • Typed Thoughts Stamp Set [NEW]
  • Clipboard Stamp Set [NEW]
  • Decorative Frame Toppers Stamp Set
  • Lines and Crosses Stencil
  • Vintage Collage Line Art Printable Digital [NEW]

The other supplies also available at Creative Worship Stamps shop that I used are:

  • Distress Watercolor Pencils set 2
  • Distress Oxide inks (Antique Linen, Walnut Stain, Vintage Photo)
  • VersaFine Onyx Black ink pad
  • VersaMark ink pad
  • White Gesso
  • EK Success Small Precision Scissors
  • Art Glitter Glue Designer Dries Clear Adhesive

I had fun creating the backgrounds with digital print, white gesso, smooshing and splatters techniques using Distress Watercolor Pencils and Distress Oxide.

I did no-line stamping & watercolor for those flower and butterfly with Distress Watercolor Pencils and some water. After I stamped them, I dried the watercolor paint with a craft heat gun and then fussy cut them with scissors.

I used VersaFine Onyx Black for stamping the clipboard image and sentiment. I dried the stamped image with a craft heat gun and then fussy cut it with scissors. I stamped again just the top of the clipboard with VersaMark ink pad and added some gold embossing powder on it and heat it up. I colored part of the clip with the Silver Uni-Ball Signo Gel Pen. After that, I fussy cut just the clip and added it to the clipboard image with adhesive glue. I also colored the edges of the clipboard image with the Gold Uni-Ball Signo Gel Pen.

On the other side of the post card, I also used smooshing and splatter technique to create the background using Antique Linen and Vintage Photo Distress Oxide ink pads. I dabbed off the water with paper towel and dried it with a craft heat gun.

Then I stamped the images and sentiments on it using Mini MISTI tool and VersaFine Onyx Black.

For the address lines, I used the Lines and Crosses stencil and Micron Pen 03.

Although this postcard has some layered images, it is still flat enough to be sent out as regular postcard, no extra cost for stamp.

For sure handmade postcards have their own special way of sending message. I am planning to make more of them so I will have them ready to be sent out at any time for any occasions.

I hope you all enjoy it today. Thank you for hopping by today! Have a fabulous day!

Mixed Media Art Journal | Faith Is…

Every day, we wake up to the unknown what will happen for certain but we wake up to walk by faith.

FAITH is:

  • show the reality of our hope
  • evidence of what we cannot see
  • putting our trust in WHO holds the future

Today, I was reminded of this truth. God enables me to walk by faith daily, not my strength or my knowledge. Putting my trust fully in the WHO holds the future and can guarantee our future is full of hope.

To remember this truth, I made this mixed media page using stamp sets and stencils from Creative Worship Stamps:

  • Faith Stamp Set
  • Sketched Florals
  • Funky Stones Stencil
  • Diamond Mesh Stencil

Other mediums:

  • White Gesso
  • Dina Wakely Scribble Sticks
  • Memento Luxe Tuxedo Black ink pad
  • Distress Oxide ink pads
  • Grabie Dual Tone Acrylic Brush Markers
  • Altenew White Paint Spray

On the background, I applied some white gesso and then scribbled the Dina Wakely Scribble Sticks – pastel colors. I sprayed with some water and blended colors with finger. I dried the page with a craft heat gun.

Then I applied the Funky Stones stencil on the page and added the Ice Spruce Distress Oxide ink with wedge sponge. I sprayed lightly the page with some water and dabbed it off with paper towel. I dried the page with a craft heat gun.

I stamped the sketch floral images, texture image, and sentiments with Memento Luxe. Then I colored the florals and leaves with Grabie Dual Tone Acrylic Brush Markers. After coloring, I added some white paint splatters to the page and I dried the page with a craft heat gun.

Thanks stopping by my blog today. Have a wonderful day!

Bible Journaling | What A New Life In Jesus

We are rejoicing and giving praise to God for our youngest daughter to be baptized on Wednesday, July 30th, 2025!

As we were preparing her for the baptism, I was reminded of these verses:

to put off your old self, which belongs to your former manner of life and is corrupt through deceitful desires, and to be renewed in the spirit of your minds, and to put on the new self, created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness.

(Ephesians‬ ‭4‬:‭22‬-‭24‬ ‭ESV‬)‬

Through Christ Jesus, we are given new life, renewed in spirit, mind and created in likeness of God. Our righteousness is in Christ alone. Our new life is controlled by the Holy Spirit. Our mind renewed by the His truth. And our identity is now the children of God.

What a new life we have in Jesus!!!

This month we are showcasing “Through the Seasons” with all our favorite products from Creative Worship Stamps. This week we are featuring the Spring season.

Here’s my Spring theme journaling Bible page, I used some of my favorite stamp sets, die set, and stencil:

  • He Proved His Love Stamp Set
  • Vintage Butterflies & Blooms Stamp Set
  • Texture Tiles 1 Stamp Set
  • Books of the Bible Stamp Set
  • Bold Bloom Stencil
  • Tabs, Tickets & More Die Set

Other supplies:

  • Versa Magic Dew Drop set of 12
  • StazOn Jet Black ink lad
  • Altenew Artist Markers

I taped the stencil directly to the ESV Interleaved Bible journaling page using some of Washi tapes. Then I added some of the inks of Versa Magic Dew Drops using blending brushes.

I stamped the sentiment and more texture images on the page with Vera Magic Dew Drops.

For the butterflies, I stamped them on a piece of vellum paper with StazOn ink pad and then colored the back of the image. After that, I fussy cut it with scissors. I added them to the page using Tombow Vellum tape runner.

I cut out a piece of purple cardstock with one of the tab dies and stamped the date on it. I added to the page with double-sided tape.

My Bible journaling page is done. May the word of God encourage you today.

Thank you for stopping by my blog. Have a wonderful day!
