Creative Worship | Be Bold And Roar Like A Lion

Hello everyone… Today, I would like to share with you all this Creative Worship art journal: Be Bold and Roar Like A Lion. I hope this can encourage your heart.

I made this art journal on my handmade traveler notebook. On my mixed media traveler’s journal, I used:
– Creative Worship: Lion of Judah Clear Stamp Set
– Creative Worship: Get To The Point Alpha Clear Stamp Set
– Texture Tiles 9 Clear Stamp Set
– Diamond Tile Stencil

When I saw the new Creative Worship: Lion of Judah Clear Stamp Set, I love the sentiments that comes in this set. They are uplifting and encouraging. So, I decided to create the art journal page.

On both pages, I used White Gesso, Titanium White Acrylic Paint, Sakura Watercolor Paints, Gelatos, Distress Oxide inks, VersFine Clair Inks, StazOn ink and spray paints.

I used stamping with stencil technique to start the background and I added more layers on top of the stamped background with stencil, gesso and gelato. And then I added some paint splatters and stamping for adding more texture.

Today, I am participating at the Sweet ‘n Sassy Stamps Birthday Inspiration Hop at SNSS Instagram celebrating the 15 years of amazing products this month. We’ve invited some of our friends to join our team in sharing projects using their favorite SnSS products, and we’re giving away a $100 worth of SnSS product to one lucky hopper!

CAS Card | You Melt My Heart

Hello artzy friends!!! It surely feel like Winter is here early! This week has been freezing… and I am so thankful for hot beverages that can warm me from the inside. This CAS card today is inspired by one of the hot beverages: hot cocoa!

I am in love this cocoa guy! I made this hot cocoa CAS card using:

I stamped the cocoa image and sentiment on a white cardstock Totally Black Artzy Ink Pad using Mini MISTI stamping tool. And then I colored it with Artist Alcohol Markers. I cut it with one of the Rectangle Framelits Dies.

I picked the knit pattern paper from the Holiday Magic Variety Paper Pack and cut it with the largest size of the Rectangle Framelits Dies.

I added background paper and the cocoa panel to the card base with permanent adhesive runner. 

I cut some hearts out of red cardtock with the heart die that comes in the Crazy 4 Cocoa Die Set. I stacked 2 hearts together with dries-clear adhesive glue. I added some glitter to the hearts with Red Glitter Brush. And then I added them to the card with 3D foam tape as embellishments.

That’s my Cocoa card for today. I link up this card at the November Artzy Challenge! And… Have you checked the 2022 Fall/Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop?

Hello hello coffee lovers! Have you checked the 2022 Fall/Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop and played along with the Link-Up Party yet? This a fun blog hop and link up party for caffeinated cardmakers and crafters! You’ll find TONS of caffeinated projects and chances to win prizes from our amazing Super Sponsors!!!

Today, here’s my coffee card for the Fall/Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop that I made using Super Sponsor Graciellie Design:

– Caffeinated Background Mini Digital Stamp Set
– Dahlias For Fall Digital Stamp Set

You can find more of her coffee/cocoa/tea digital collection here and you’ll gonna love them! With digital stamps and papers, there many ways you can use on your projects.

I printed the background paper on a white cardstock with inkjet printer, I trimmed it into 4.25″ x 5.5″, and I added it to the card base the E-Z Runner Grand from Super Sponsor Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L.

I ripped a piece of white cardstock to make the border and I wrapped some of the burlap twine ribbon on it. I added it to the card with double-sided tape.

I opened the cup with sleeve digital image and dahlia digital stamp, I resized and arranged them as one image. I picked one of the sentiments from the Caffeinated Background Mini Digital Stamp Set and resized it. I printed them all together on a white cardstock with inkjet printer.

Before coloring the cup, I dried the ink with a craft heater. I colored it with Altenew Artist Makers and then I fussy cut it with scissors. I also fussy cut the sentiment. I added both cup and sentiment to the card with 3D foam tape.

I embellished the card with some brown sequins that I have in my stash. I added the sequins to the card with dries-clear adhesive glue.

2022 Fall-Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop | Poinsettia Red Cup Of Cheer

The 2022 Fall/Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop and Link-Up Party is LIVE now!!! There are TONS of caffeinated projects and you can link up your project for chances to win prizes from our amazing Super Sponsors!!!

For this Fall/Winter Coffee Lovers Hop, I was inspired by the Red Cup season when I made this card using the Super Sponsor Sweet ‘n Sassy Stamps.

I started with creating the background using the Diamond Tile Stensil. I taped the stencil on watercolor paper and put it inside my mixed media spray box. Then, I sprayed the Distress Oxide spray paints (Set 3). I removed the stencil and dried the paper with a craft heater.

I added some splatters on it using white acrylic paint and gold metallic watercolor paint. I dried the panel again with a craft heater and then I trimmed it into 4.25 inches x 5.5 inches. I added it to the card base with Scrapbookadhesive by 3L E-Z Runner Grand.

To create the poinsettia red cup, I used:

I stamped the cup on red cardstock and white cardstock and then heat-embossed them with gold embossing powder. On the red cup, I masked around the cup and lid with masking tape, and I stamped and heat-embossed the poinsettia image. I cut the lid from the white cup and added it to the red cup with Scrapbookadhesive by 3L E-Z Runner Grand.

On a green cardstock, I stamped and heat-embossed the sentiment using the new Creative Worship: Get To The Point Alpha Clear Stamp Set. After that, I trimmed it and added it to the card with Scrapbookadhesive by 3L E-Z Runner Grand.

I added the red cup to the card with 3D foam tape and then embellished the card with some gems.

So, that’s my version of the red cup for this season… How about you? It’s your turn to create a cup of cheer and link it up with our 2022 Fall/Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop. I cannot wait to see your project.
