Being Sentimental with a Framing Challenge


Can you believe it's Friday already? So many places to go, things to do, projects to finish and that isn't even to get ready for summer around our house.

It's nice to stop in here this week and share a little something colorful and fun. Today's post is also about the Stampendous weekly theme, Celebrating Sentiments!

What are they? It's akin to coloring pages, but it can be stamped over and over again! Stampendous has nine terrific framed sentiment stamps that are the perfect size for an A2 card. Stamp it, color it and glue it onto a card base. The card is done unless you want to add embossing powders, ribbon or whatever your embellishing go-to may be.

Before I get on with my post, I'd like to also let you know that there is a new Splitcoaststampers Mix-Ability challenge, MIX173 : Frame It!!, that our new team member Polly is hosting, you'll want to stop in and meet her, join in the fun while you are there! I'll be sharing a project sometime later, but when I saw the challenge I immediately thought of all these great sentiment stamps that are framed!

Here's my card with supplies and instructions at the end of my post.
There are more fabulous samples from the Stampendous design team today. If you haven't already stopped by their blogs here is the complete list for today.

    You have just received high praise from my 4 year old granddaughter! She is sitting on my lap and saw your card and all she could say is "oh, oh, oh, oh, oh! I love it" Now she is singing a song about it and dancing!
    I am also quite fond of it!! LOVE the beautiful blending! TFS!

    This is so gorgeous and cheery. I love the Copic colors that you chose. I would love to sit and color this card (I am sure it would be more like 6 cards). I am so happy to see these sentiment stamps so that I can make a few quick, yet lovely cards.

Let's Celebrate Plain Jane Style!

There is an Anni-Verve-Sary party going on today! Verve Stamp Company is 2 years old! The hop started at Verve's blog , so come hop on board and see over 5 dozen projects that are sure to get your Verve on! I've been waiting for the right time to blog about this project and when the opportunity came to join in the anniversary blog hop for Verve I knew it was time. My blog hop project today uses all Plain Jane Bible verses from Verve. I saw this project at Susan Roberts gallery on Splitcoaststampers and went to her blog to get the details . I decided to make one for my mother as a Christmas present...in 2008. Yep, I just now finished it and I have the blog hop to thank. Using sketches would have made this a whole lot faster. LOL The two cards shown in the picture above use the latest Plain Jane release for Psalm 121:1-2 (hanging on box) and Hebrews 11:1 (in front of box). And I'll give the details below, but first here's a slide show of the whole year. Hebr...
