<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In honor of our nation, the USA, we celebrate the birth of our nation today. This pop-up card I made for a monthly swap with my local stamp group. The front of the card uses background cardstock from the Our Daily Bread Patriotic Collection. The stamp is from a group of patriotic stamps I had in my collection. I added a star ribbon in red, white, and blue.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Each month the Stamps of Life Card Club has a kit full of product with which to create fun cards. This is a card I made with the beautiful double-sided cardstocks and accessories from the kit. I thought it would be fun to share it. The die cut for the card is one of Stephanie Banard's 3-D Framlet Drop-ins. It was very tedious cutting out all the pieces, but fun to design and put it all together.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My card uses the May set from ODBD called <a href="https://www.ourdailybreaddesigns.com/index.php/spread-your-wings-h608.html">Spread Your Wings</a>, along with the <a href="https://www.ourdailybreaddesigns.com/index.php/birds-nest-dies-csbd100.html">Birds and Nest dies</a>. I colored the images with Copic Markers and used the <a href="https://www.ourdailybreaddesigns.com/index.php/layered-lacey-square-dies-csbd84.html">Layered Lacey Squares Dies</a> from ODBD for the sentiment. The images and sentiment are popped up on the card, and I added a green ribbon bow. The background checkered paper is from The Stamps of Life Happy Collection.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Today's card is for a Little Miss Muffet challenge called "Many Layers" I've used <a href="http://www.littlemissmuffetstamps.com/Sugar-n-Spice-Dolls-Sage-as-Annie-Oakley_p_718.html">Sugar 'n Spice Sage as Annie Oakley</a> for my card. The image is digital and is colored with Copic markers and then layered on a matt and placed over several patterned gingham colors that are also matted. Floss and a star are added. Her glasses have Crystal Effects to make them look glassy. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Happy Easter to you! We rejoice in the resurrection of Jesus Christ this week. He is risen! I've used <a href="http://www.pickled-potpourri.com/cross-digital-stamps">Cross</a> by Pickled Potpourri to make my card. It is colored with Copic markers. The patterned background paper is from Stampin' Up. The oval dies are from PaperTrey Ink. Then for embellishments I've added a bow from organza ribbon, a cross charm and three pearl studs. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This week I'm showing you a card I made for a recipe challenge with my local stamp group. The recipe called for three patterned papers, two embellishments, one ribbon, and one stamped image. I've used <a href="http://www.stephaniebarnardstamps.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=11_20&products_id=638">bicycle2stamp</a> along with the matching die from The Stamps of Life for the focal image. The card base is a <a href="http://www.stephaniebarnardstamps.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=4_71&products_id=485">Elegant Stand Up card die</a> by Sizzix and Stephanie Bennard. The patterned paper is <a href="http://www.stephaniebarnardstamps.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=75_77&products_id=608">Celebrate Collection Paper Pad</a>, also from The Stamps of Life. I colored the bicycle with Copic markers and stamped the sentiments with <a href="http://www.stephaniebarnardstamps.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1&products_id=1">Blueberry Colorbox Ink</a> by The Stamps of Life. My two embellishments are two turquoise jewels on the spokes of the wheels and I added one blue ribbon. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Today I am submitting a card for the <a href="http://blog.red-rubber-designs.com/2015/03/inspirational-210-for-boys.html">Red Rubber Inspirational Challenge - For the Boys</a>. This challenge is to do a masculine card. My card uses two stamp sets from Red Rubber Designs. One is <a href="http://www.red-rubber-designs.com/eyes-to-see-cling-mount-rubber-stamps.html">Eyes to See Cling Mount Rubber Stamp set</a> and the other is <a href="http://www.red-rubber-designs.com/masterpiece-cling-mount-rubber-stamps.html">Masterpiece Cling Mount Rubber Stamp set</a>.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">To make my card, I used Rich Cocoa Memento ink and stamped the background using several of the stamps in the set on to kraft cardstock. The main image is stamped on white cardstock and colored with Copic markers. I also sponged ink around the edges of the image and popped it up on the front of the card. I tied a brown twill ribbon around the card, adding a masculine touch without a bow.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="color: windowtext;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="color: #f3f3f3;">Hi there! I'm joining </span><a href="http://debseglersheavenlytouch.blogspot.com/2015/01/butterfly-card-by-guest-designerhost.html"><span style="color: #f3f3f3;">Deb Segler's Heavenly Touch</span></a><span style="color: #f3f3f3;"> in helping friends “SEEK HIM DAILY”.
I’m honored to post a card for you to enjoy.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>
<span style="color: #f3f3f3;"></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="color: windowtext;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="color: #f3f3f3;">My card is made with a stamp
set from Stampin’ Up’s Sale-a-Bration going on now until March 31, 2015.
It is called Butterfly Basics. I’ve also used the Butterflies Thinlits
Dies. For this card I made my own background using stamps in the
set. The inks I used are Palette Jardin Moss, Boudoir Blush, and Raw
Sienna. I just stamped them randomly over the card. The base card
is green cardstock. I stamped the sentiment in Palette Noir ink and
matted it in the green cardstock. A green ribbon was placed under the
sentiment, which is popped up with foam mounting tape. Lastly, I added
two butterfly die cuts, one cut from the green cardstock and one from a
multicolor dotted cardstock.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>
<span style="color: #f3f3f3;"></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="color: windowtext;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="color: #f3f3f3;">I love the sentiment with
this set. It reminds me of some spiritual truths. We all are
sinners in depravity before God saves us and makes all things new. 2
Corinthians 5:17 says, “Therefore if any man is in Christ, he is a new
creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come.” Our
lives are completely transformed by Christ, just like the caterpillar is
transformed into a beautiful butterfly. As we look at people in our lives
who seem to be caterpillars who do not have spiritual life and vitality, we
cannot know what God plans for them. We must love them and share the good
news of salvation with them. Perhaps they too can be transformed into
something beautiful by His love and grace.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>
<span style="color: #f3f3f3;"></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="color: windowtext;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="color: #f3f3f3;">Have a blessed day! And thanks for visiting my blog.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This week on <a href="http://blog.red-rubber-designs.com/">Red Rubber Inspirationals</a>, Lynda leads a challenge that is stamping focused, but the theme can be anything. I'm joining the challenge with this sweet swan set called <a href="http://www.red-rubber-designs.com/swans-rubber-stamp.html">Swans Rubber Stamp</a> from Red Rubber Designs. I've made an anniversary card. The sentiment is from Our Daily Bread Designs, and the heart frame die cut is Spellbinders Heart Squares. I colored the image with Copic markers, using a cloud template and sponge to make the sky with Palette ink. The background patterned cardstock is from my stash of remnants, and I added two jewels. </span></div>
