Consider What He's Done for You

Happy Wednesday!! It's time for the last Word Art Wednesday challenge for 2019! That is so hard to believe! As our thoughts turn to reflecting over the past year, this week's challenge verse encourages us to consider the wonderful things that the Lord has done for us. Because of all that He has done for us we should serve Him with all of our heart. During the busy-ness of the Christmas season, let's not forget to take some time to reflect on God's goodness and all the blessings He has given to us.

For this card, I used one of the Tri-Shutter card bases from Divinity Designs. I could not find this on their website so it may be a retired item. I matted and layered the two coordinating pattern papers on glitter cardstock for each panel.

The interior has a panel for a personal message that is decorated with small punched snowflakes that are accented by gems.

I really like Tri-shutter cards because of their "Wow!" factor. They stand up for display very well and there are plenty of panels to decorate if you like interior decorating.

Supplies:
Cardstock: Georgia Pacific (white for sentiment panel), Darice (green glitter cardstock)
Patterned Paper: My Mind's Eye (Jingle All the Way 6 x 6 pad)
Stamp: WORDart by Karen
Tools/Embellishments: Spellbinders Snowflake dies, Nuvo glitter drops (White Bizzard), The Paper Studio (gems), Martha Stewart small snowflake punch

I'm entering this card in the following challenges:
Tuesday Throwdown Challenge #447: Anything Goes
Crafty Hazelnuts Patterned Paper Challenge: Use patterned paper
Mod Squad Challenge: Christmas / Winter

Palm Tree Birthday

I'm back with another card using the July release stamp set, Bon Voyage, from Our Daily Bread Designs (ODBD). This week I chose to make a Tri-Shutter card. ODBD has a pre-made Tri-Shutter Card base that makes this type of card so easy to put together. However, I didn't have one of their card bases so I made my own. I started with a piece of cardstock that measured 5.5" x 12". On the 12" side I scored it at 2", 4", 8" and 10". Then with the 5.5" side at the top of my trimmer, I slid the cardstock over to the 1.5" mark and then cut between the 2" score mark and the 10" score mark. I repeated this on the other side. Here is the Tri-Shutter Card tutorial I used from Splitcoast Stampers. Cardstock mats and patterned papers from the Blooming Garden Collection and the By the Shore Collection cover the card base.

The largest image was stamped onto a Double Stitched Circle die cut and then heat embossed. Distress ink was applied to the circle for the sky. Another portion of the largest image was masked and stamped on a smaller circle and a 2nd bird was added before it was also heat embossed. The sentiment was white heat embossed on a Stitched Oval Die Cut. The smaller image was white heat embossed on the small panels of the card. Baker's twine and buttons from my stash add a little extra interest to the vertical panels. The largest interior panel gives a space for writing a message to the recipient.
