John 14:27 Card

I recently began subscribing to Papertrey Ink's Reflections monthly subscription, and I'm loving it so much! Each month they send a beautiful scripture stamp, a coordinating die to cut out the stamp (I love when there's a die for sentiments/verses!), and then a couple other dies to layer the verse on or use for other projects. It's such a great value for $25 (including shipping!). I don't have a Papertrey Ink affiliate link, but if you'd like to check out the subscription or purchase anything on the website, here's NickiHeartsCards' link: https://linkdeli.com/go/6301134?_ld_ref=widget. She was the one who inspired me to subscribe to the Reflections subscription.

For my card, I wanted to use the monthly inspiration colors on the Papertrey Ink blog for a chance to win a $50 gift card, so I pulled out papers and inks in kraft, cream, and scarlet. I created a top-folding A2 card base out of kraft cardstock and trimmed a piece of Papertrey Ink's Dearest Jane pattern paper to 4 1/8 by 5 3/8 inches and added a bit of twine to the left side of it before adhering it to the card front.

Next, I die cut some of Papertrey Ink's Bitty Box Basics pattern paper in a shade of red that I think matches the color palette well. I used the dies that came in the Reflections set (this is the August set that includes the verse from John 14 that I used on this card) to create a frame by die cutting the smaller die out of the center of the larger one. Then I die cut the smaller die out of kraft cardstock to use in the center. I added the red frame with one layer of Altenew's Instant Dimension Foam Tape and then the smaller die cut using a double layer of the foam tape. In real life, it has a lot of great dimension.

I stamped the verse using Catherine Pooler's Coffee Break ink and die cut it with the coordinating die from the set. I die cut a couple more layers out of chipboard from packaging I try to recycle, and then I stacked those up and glued them together for dimension.

I wanted to add a few more die cuts to finish off the card, so I looked through my Papertrey Ink stash and found a cute set called Wee Folk and stamped and die cut the deer (I used Catherine Pooler's Sand Castle ink for that) and laurel (I stamped that in Altenew's Ruby Red). Then I layered everything up how I wanted it and adhered it all down.

I die cut another 20 of the coordinating die cuts for the verse and then quickly stamped them in my MISTI using a jig I created from the first stamped and die cut piece. I love doing that because it's so much quicker to die cut blank paper and then stamp on the die cuts than to try to line up the die on the stamped images 20 times. I plan to make a fun fold for the group of elderly people I send cards to regularly, and I will add this verse to the cards.

Wildflower Tufts Peace and Strength Card

A good friend of mine from church was in a serious accident recently, and I want to visit her at the hospital this week. Of course I want to take her a card and some flowers when I go. Since I just received Altenew's November Craft-Your-Life kit this past week, I thought I would use it for my friend's card. It's such a pretty kit and will be available to non-subscribers in early November.

I started with a white top-folding A2 card base. Then I chose my color palette. I wanted to use the colors from Altenew's Monthly Inspiration Challenge, so I pulled out Alpine Heather, Orange Cream, and Silverstone. I stamped the large floral stamp using Altenew's Obsidian black pigment ink and then ink blended the inks I had chosen through the coordinating stencils. Then I die cut all the pieces at once. This is one of Altenew's "One Go" sets where there's a large stamp, a coordinating stencil, and a large die that cuts all the images in one pass.

I trimmed a panel of white cardstock to 4 1/4 by 5 1/2 inches and ink blended more of the Alpine Heather ink along the edges of the panel. Then I embossed a white panel of cardstock with the Wildflower Tufts 3D embossing folder and trimmed it to 4 1/8 by 5 3/8 inches. I stamped my "praying for peace & strength" sentiment from the same kit and die cut it using the add-on coordinating die set for the sentiments in the kit. I die cut a couple more layers of the sentiment and adhered them together to give the sentiment some dimension. I also used the One-Go die to die cut plain white cardstock and found the matching pieces for the stamped, stenciled, and die cut flowers I wanted to use on this card. I adhered the white pieces behind my stamped ones for a little more dimension. I added the flowers and sentiment on the opposite places from the embossed wreath of flowers on the white panel to fill in the flat areas. Then I added 3 of Altenew's Black Onyx Gem Sparkles to the panel. I used Altenew's Instant Dimension Foam Tape to pop up the panel on the ink blended layer and added the layers to my card base to finish my card. My friend is going to have a long recovery ahead of her, so I think praying for peace and strength through the rehab process is very fitting for her.

Grateful Greenery Card

Pinkfresh Studios has a monthly inspiration challenge, and this is the second card I created for the October challenge. You can see my first card here: Carrie's Custom Cards: Pure Joy Z-Fold Card

I started with a black 5 by 7 card base because I wanted more room for the elements I planned to use on my card. Then I trimmed a panel of purple cardstock to 4 7/8 by 6 7/8 and adhered it to the card front.

I used Pinkfresh's Joyful Day press plate and their Mimosa ink to create a leafy panel and trimmed it to 2 by 5 3/8 inches. I layered it on a black panel that is 2 1/8 by 5 1/2 inches.

Next, I die cut 2 ovals using Pinkfresh's Double Stitched Elongated Ovals: one in black and one from a pink pattern paper by Pinkfresh titled Live in the Moment. I adhered the two ovals together and set them aside.

I used Pinkfresh's press plates, coordinating stencils, and coordinating dies from the Grateful Greenery set for the focal point and "Grateful for your kindness" sentiment. I used VersaMark ink with the press plates and gold embossing powder and heat set the embossing powder for a touch of gold to follow the colors in this month's challenge on the Pinkfresh Studio blog. I used Crown Me Lunar Paste for the berries in the focal point, so they have a nice shine and are more of a purple color in real life. They turned out more blue than purple in my photos unfortunately.

Now that I had all my elements, I arranged everything on the card front and used liquid glue in some places and foam tape in other places for added dimension. I added 3 gold sequins to finish off the card.

Maple Leaf Card

I recently attended an Altenew Educator workshop led by the talented Ishani, and she had us die cut a large shape out of acetate (I chose Unity Stamp Co.'s Maple Leaf die) and then add die cuts to the shape using papers we had colored with alcohol inks.

I chose purples, oranges, and gray/greens for my alcohol inks (a mixture of Brea Rose, Ranger, and Jacquard alcohol ink colors) to follow the color palette for Altenew's October Inspiration Challenge. I added the inks to white posterboard panels I had trimmed to 9 by 12 inches to fit in the disposable aluminum pans I use to work with alcohol inks. I find thin posterboard (I bought mine at Hobby Lobby) is less expensive than Yupo paper and die cuts so much easier. The inks move great on the slick posterboard.

After letting my panels dry, I die cut all three panels using Altenew's Zero Waste: Autumn Leaves die and then started layering the die cut leaves over the large acetate Maple leaf die cut. I trimmed off any overhanging parts of the leaves to keep the Maple leaf shape intact.

I chose a white A2 card and decided I wanted an embossed panel under my Maple leaf. I embossed a panel of black cardstock using Altenew's Weathered Bark 3D embossing folder and trimmed it to 4 1/8 by 5 3/8. I added it to the white card base using Altenew's Instant Dimension Foam Tape.

Then I added the Maple leaf using more Instant Dimension Foam Tape. I had originally planned to add the sentiment to the middle of the Maple leaf, but I didn't like how much of the pattern I had created with all the die cut leaves that the sentiment covered up. Instead, I added the sentiment and another die cut to the inside of the card.

Pure Joy Z-Fold Card

This month's challenge over on the Pinkfresh Studio blog includes 6 colors and the theme of Fall Foliage. I opted for 5 of the six colors in this project and used Pinkfresh Studio's Joyful Day press plate with Pinkfresh's Mimosa ink to create the leaves in the background to follow the fall foliage theme.

I made an A2 card base and then added a score line at 2 1/8 inches to create the z-fold card base. Then I trimmed black cardstock to 2 by 5 3/8 inches for the front panel and 4 1/8 by 5 3/8 inches for the inside panel. Then I trimmed my panels I had used the Joyful Day press plate and Mimosa ink on to 1 7/8 by 5 1/4 inches for the front panel and 4 by 5 1/4 for the inside panel. I adhered the panel to the card base.

Next, I stamped Pinkfresh's With Sympathy floral stamp in VersaMark ink and added gold embossing powder to it. I heat set it and then used the coordinating stencil set and more Mimosa ink along with a green and purple ink from Altenew (Fresh Leaf and Brambleberry). I die cut the image with the coordinating die and added a second die cut piece for dimension and then decided where I wanted to place it on the panel so I could add a sentiment to the panel as well. I trimmed off the bottom of the floral image and adhered it to the bottom of the inside panel.

For the sentiment on the front of the card, I stamped "spending time with you is pure joy" from Pinkfresh's Pure Joy set and ink blended the same Brambleberry ink over the sentiment that I used for the flower centers on the inside of the card. I die cut 3 more layers of the sentiment and stacked them together before adhering the stacked sentiment to the front of the card.

For the "I appreciate you more than you know" sentiment, I used one of the sentiment press plates from the Pinkfresh's Sending Love set with VersaMark ink and then added gold embossing powder to it and heat set it. I die cut it with the coordinating die and then die cut 2 more layers of the sentiment and stacked them together for dimension. I adhered the sentiment to the inside of the card and added 3 purple pearls around the sentiment to embellish the card.

Winter Village Rocker Card for Just Us Girls #844

It's time for a new challenge on the Just Us Girls Challenge blog, and I'm back with a card following the word prompt for this week: Move

There are lots of possibilities for this one! I chose a rocker card for my project. I created the white card base by using the largest in Altenew's Nesting Circles die set and then created the next layer using the next smallest circle die and the green striped pattern paper. I adhered them together, scored them down the middle and burnished the score line to create the rocker card base.

For the focal point, I used a die set from Altenew called Winter Village. It includes so many adorable little details! I die cut several layers of the snowy landscape and added my ink blended houses and trees to the snowy section. For the sky, I die cut the stars from the die cut that cuts a sky scene and then die cut just the sky scene out of silver glitter cardstock. I ink blended Altenew's Desert Night ink over the top layer and then adhered it to the silver glitter cardstock so the stars shine through. I die cut and ink blended the moon die cut using white cardstock with Fresh Lemon ink blended over it. I adhered the moon and then adhered my houses and trees after ink blending everything. I used Reindeer Moss ink on the trees, and Ruby Red, Almond Butter, Jet Black, and Fresh Lemon on the houses.

For the sentiment, I used a retired Altenew set called Winter Crocus that has a lot of great holiday sentiments including this "from our home to yours" which I thought was just perfect for the little scene I created with the 2 houses.

Once I had the Winter Village scene finished, I adhered the bottom of the back to the front of the rocker card base and then added the sentiment. I die cut the sentiment using a die from Altenew's Terrific Tags die set.

I hope you'll join the fun over on the JUGS challenge blog with your interpretation of "move" this week. Here's a link: "Just Us Girls" Challenge

Magnificent Branch Sympathy Card

One of my friends in the crafting community recently lost her mother-in-law, and I wanted to send a sympathy card to her and her husband. I created this card during a practice session for another friend's upcoming Leve 3 Altenew Educator Certification Program (AECP) workshop. Kim (the friend leading the practice session over Zoom) created a card design using Altenew's Build-A-Garden: Magnificent Branch set, and I pulled that set out and used the stamp, coodinating stencil set, and coordinating die to create this card inspired by her class.

I first stamped the image in my Stampwheel 2.0 and left the stamp on the flip plate so I could restamp the image after ink blending it. Then I chose inks from Altenew's Warm & Cozy ink collection along with Silverstone and Moss inks for the leaves and Brambleberry for the purple flower center on the flower at the bottom left side of the card. I used inks from Delectable Desserts ink collection for the branch.

After ink blending the image, I put it back in the Stampwheel 2.0 and restamped it so the lines were nice and crisp again. Then I die cut it. I wanted to use colors in Altenew's October Inspiration Challenge, so I chose purple cardstock for the background panel and used a matching purple Ohuhu alcohol ink marker to color the white edges of the die cut stamped image.

To create my layers, I trimmed 2 pieces of purple cardstock and one of white cardstock. The purple layers were: 4 1/4 by 5 1/2 and 4 by 5 1/4. I added Orange Cream ink to the edges of the white panel I had trimmed to 4 1/8 by 5 3/8 inches and adhered it to the large purple panel. I adhered that to a 5 by 7 card base. Then I adhered the Magnificent Branch image to the smaller purple panel and trimmed off the edges. I added back the bits I had trimmed off to fill up the space a little more (and so they weren't wasted).

For the sentiment, I used the November 2026 Craft-Your-Life: Wildflower Tufts project kit and add-on dies. That set is available to subscribers now and will be available on the website to non-subscribers in early November. It's a beautiful kit with sympathy-themed sentiments I think will be a great addition to my stash. I stamped the sentiment and die cut it and then die cut several more to stack behind the sentiment for dimension. I added the sentiment to the smaller purple panel, adhered that panel to the layers already on the card base and then finished off the card with 6 enamel dots from Altenew's Warm & Cozy Enamel Dot collection.
