HC Sea Breeze FoldOut

Good morning!

I love these fold out cards don't you?

You can do so much with them and use so many stamps and die and that is what we love isn't it?

I made a continuous shore line on this card and used the texture paste with glitter to make a fun wave foam.

I used real shells on gauze for some fun trim

I also used real sand on the sand (found it at a hobby shop, part of the landscaping stuff for models).

John 3:16 New King James Version (NKJV)

¹⁶ For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

We cannot make ourselves perfect enough to enter heaven, did you know that?

But we don't have to because God provided a way for us Himself.  He sent His son Jesus the Christ to take the punishment for sin [for everyone who will believe] Himself so that He could provide, as a gift, a way to Himself and heaven.

All we have to do is believe that Jesus died for us, that He was raised from the dead [defeated death] and confess Him with our mouths as our savior, and accept Him as our Lord [boss]. 

It may sound too easy to you but in reality, living to please Him (because He is our Lord) is not easy.  Our flesh fights us everyday wanting it's own way.  But God gives us strength, He gives us His Holy Spirit to help us day by day.  He knows we are weak, frail humans and our lives pass by in a blink of an eye (compaired to eternity). He helps us day by day and He is with us.  He said He would never leave us nor forsake us.  Go to Him now in prayer and make Him your Lord and savior.

He said that there is nothing you have done that is too hard for Him to forgive and cleanse, He can lift that weight of sin off of you, go to Him.

Matthew 25:35-40
³⁵ for I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in; ³⁶ I was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison
and you came to Me.’³⁷ “Then the righteous will answer Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry and feed You, or thirsty and give You drink? ³⁸ When did we see You a stranger and take You in, or naked and clothe You? ³⁹ Or when did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?’ ⁴⁰ And the King will answer and say to them, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.’

Heartfelt- Lilac Tissue Box Holder

Good morning!

This lilac collection is my favorite, but then I DO LOVE purple!

 The paper is just gorgeous and it really serves well

for this tissue box!

What a great gift to a friend especially one who is

sick and may need a little lift.

I don't like to have a cold but if I did I sure would like to receive

 something like this from a good friend!

For more tips on creating with the flower shaping molds, watch the tutorial at https://youtu.be/FSdPL7nXvQE.

Instructions:

Piant paper mache box white on all corners and inside oval opening.  Cut panels from Lush Lilac decorative paper for each side and the top (to get proper placement of oval opening on the top panel of paper, place paper on the table good side up, place tissue box holder upside down on top of paper and draw a line inside oval opening then take the paper out and die cut opening).  Spread good adhesive onto each side, one at a time, with a paint brush to make sure it is completely covered then place paper on adhesive and smooth until dry, do this for each panel of paper.  Cut border from white linen and cut to fit making sure to cut each side the same so that the corners match up.  Die cut scalloped oval and oval frame out of white linen for the top of box and glue in place.   Sponge randomly with glue on all sides and top then sprinkle Crystal Clear on all the glue.

Stamp and die cut scroll, blossoms, Lilac flowers and birds using purple ink for flowers and scroll and blue ink for birds.  Color with Copics or sponge color onto die cuts.  The Lilac blossoms were die cut directly from decorative paper so they are already colored.  Place some of the Lilac blossoms onto blossoms in the paper design.  Place scroll with sentiment on the front side with foam tape and add some Lilac blossoms.  Pick a side with less design and foam tape birds and Lilac Flower stem to it then add more Lilac blossoms.  On the side with the house, add a Rain Boots & Blossoms Lilac stem and flowers to it with a few Lilac blossoms as well, (see photos for placement).

Psalm 139:13-16

13 You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body
    and knit me together in my mother’s womb.
14 Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex!
    Your workmanship is marvelous—how well I know it.
15 You watched me as I was being formed in utter seclusion,
    as I was woven together in the dark of the womb.
16 You saw me before I was born.
    Every day of my life was recorded in your book.
Every moment was laid out
    before a single day had passed.

Have you ever seen that fast motion video of a baby in the womb from conception to birth?  It is fascinating!  Watching the baby form and heart beat, eyes, ears, little fingers and so cute seeing the baby put his thumb in his little mouth, yes, still in the womb.

God has a plan for each and every life, life is so precious!!! 

Heartfelt- Beautiful Birdcage Encouragement

Good morning!

When you need to give a friend a lift what could be better than a handmade card

with scripture tags that they can take out and maybe put in a book or Bible 

as a reminder of God's goodness and love for them?

My card today is just that, a card of encouragement for friend or family

who just needs a bit of lifting.

I love encouraging people, it is just in me to want to

see others succeed, to want to see them have peace and strength

to get through whatever they face.  Whatever the encouragement

needed, I like to give it, so this card would go to a sweet friend who

maybe just needs to be reminded that they are special and

God has them in His capable hands.

Matthew 22:37-39 (NKJV)

37 Jesus said to him, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ 38 This is the first and great commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’

Loving your neighbor as yourself is not always easy but can you imagine if everyone followed Jesus example...wow, what a wonderful world this would be.  Well, not everyone does but, let it begin with me.

Another thing to think about regarding this verse and others like it...your own family, husband, kids, in laws...do we practice this with them too?  Sometimes the people we are closest to we do not treat as the brother or sister in Christ like we  should, or like we would treat... our friends at church...are we REALLY living like Christ or just acting like it when we are with other followers of Christ?  Practice your love, joy, peace, kindness, goodness, self-control, gentleness, patience and faithfulness at home first!
