Chosen To Be Sent-Sunday Wisdom

Sunday Wisdom /

The gospel reminds us that we who hear the Good News belong to the chosen ones. We have all been chosen to be sent. We all have been given special talents to build up the kingdom of God.  Maybe we will not be sent to a foreign land but we can make a difference in the lives of our immediate family, friends and co-workers.

We can bring hope to those in despair or even heal a broken heart. Sometimes all we need is to take the time to listen and be willing to help.

We all have a mission, so whatever place we are in, let’s make a positive impact. A simple smile or sincere offer of help to the needy is a great place to start.

Do not be afraid and don’t be concerned if people reject us. They already rejected the ONE who sent us.

An Evening Evergreen Simply Succulent Thanks!

2 Comments / Thank You /

My daughter came home for a Father’s Day visit and since she is a first grade school teacher, she did not have to rush home so we decide to play in my craft room. Fun right? She created a variety of amazing cards, most of them using retired sets, but she also created this one and I am happy to share it with you.

It is a very simple design, but I love the elegance of the Evening Evergreen and the Very Vanilla cardstock. This background die would also look amazing in some foil sheets and or even some glitter paper. I hope you have fun creating! We certainly did!

Cutting Measurements

All Measurement=inches  CS=Cardstock DSP=Designer Series Paper  Landscape Position=Long side   Portrait Position=short side

Supplies

  • Evening Evergreen Cardstock- 5½ x 8½ card base (score at 4¼).
  • Very Vanilla Cardstock-4¼ x 6, 2½ x 4¼ (greeting), 4 x 5¼ (inside)
  • Simply Succulent Stamp Set
  • Potted Succulent Dies
  • Evening Evergreen Ink
  • Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine
  • Multi-purpose Liquid Glue
  • Stampin’ Dimensionals

Directions

  • Score Evening Evergreen cardstock in landscape position at 4¼.  Fold & burnish to create card.. 
  • Use the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss machine to crop a Very Vanilla frame for the Potted Succulent dies and attach to the card front with liquid glue or use an adhesive sheet.
  • To use the adhesive sheet apply it to the Very Vanilla cardstock before cropping the frame. Once you have cut out the frame, remove the adhesive backing and add to the card front.
  • Stamp greeting in Evening Evergreen ink on some Very Vanilla cardstock and crop it out with frame from the Potted Succulent dies. Attach to card using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • Attach a 4 x 5¼ piece of Very Vanilla cardstock to the inside and decorate as desired.
