DIY Designer Series Paper ~ Weekly Wed. #69

Designer Series Paper, Fall-Halloween-Thanksgiving Cards, Weekly Wednesday Videos /

Hello my friends. I am so excited to share with you a way to create your own Designer Series Paper using the new Gathering Moments stamp set. First of all the paper that coordinates with this bundle is absolutely gorgeous, but I thought making our own can be fun too. When you create your own designer series paper, don’t be afraid to experiment with a variety of colors. Try creating a sheet with all one color. That would be fun too. Monochromatic is such a calming look.

Today’s project: DIY Designer Series Paper

I started with a Basis White 8 1/2 x 11 piece of cardstock and randomly stamped the images from the Gathering Moments bundle as shown. The large leaf I stamped in Old Olive and Pumpkin Pie. The smaller leaf is stamped with Garden Green. The berries are stamped with Cherry Cobbler and the acorn with Pecan Pie. I used Early Espresso to stamp the smaller veined leaf. Feel free to adds some splatter with Pecan Pie or Early Espresso ink. The You’re Remarkable and the Elements of Text are just a few of the sets that have some great splatter.

Today’s card features our Garden Green and Cherry Cobbler cardstock. The card base is a standard A2 size and measures 8-1/2 x 5 -1/2, scored at 4-1/4. I cut a piece of the newly created designer series paper to measures 3-3/4 x 5 and backed it with a 3-7/8 x 5-1/8 piece of Cherry Cobbler. The greeting is from Grateful Blessings. See video for tip on how to shorten the greeting. I stamped the sentiment with Early Espresso ink and cropped it with the Heartfelt Hexagon punch. I used that same punch to crop a Cherry Cobber hexagon and cut in half lengthwise to create a top and bottom border. Before adding the greeting to the card front, I put a strip of Cherry Cobbler 3/8 x 3-7/8 across the bottom of the card. Feel free to use Stampin’ Dimensionals to attach the greeting to your card front.

I hope you enjoyed today’s fall project. Join me on Monday for a new holiday series 12 Days of Christmas! Happy Stamping!

Thanks for stopping by!
Until next time, be blessed, Renae

Lord Increase My Faith ~Sunday Wisdom

Sunday Wisdom /

Have faith the size of a mustard seed.

Matthew’s gospel tells us that faith can move mountains. Today, Luke tells us that faith can uproot a tree and replant it in the sea. Jesus reminds us that even the smallest of faith is powerful. There is a reason Jesus chose the mustard seed. It is the tiniest of seeds. Today Jesus reminds us that our faith even if it is small, is powerful.

It is good that the apostles turned to Jesus for help to increase their faith. It shows humility and the need for our Lord. With God all things are possible. Without God we can do nothing. One of the first steps to increasing our faith is to humbly admit our lack of faith and our need for the Lord.

Don’t be confused, faith does bring about magical powers but through prayer, we can obtain holiness. Take some time today to reflect upon the prayer of the apostles: “Lord, Increase our faith.” Let us put aside our pride and humbly pray to our Lord for a renewed faith.

Oh loving Savior, increase our faith. Fill us with the Holy Spirit that we may lead others to Your glory. Remind us of your infinite Mercy. J
Jesus, I trust in You.

Thanks for stopping by!
Until next time, be blessed, Renae
