Terrific Tuesday #17-My Creating Process Of The Month

Welcome to Terrific Tuesday #17
My Creating Process Of The Month

When I create my handmade cards, I like to have a variety of sizes available. The folded card size I'm sharing today is 4 1/4" x 3 1/4".
  • Using a 3"x4" patterned card, I stamped my sentiment.
  • To add depth and dimension to the stamped 3"x4" patterned card I place foam dots on the back.
  • This piece is placed on the 4 1/4" x 3 1/4" card base.
  • Inside I stamped a flower image to add a little extra for the recipient.
  • The inside is left blank to add a personalized message.
  • The envelopes are lined with a yellow floral pattern, I think this is so pretty. It adds a nice touch.
     





In my Joyful Heart Gift Shop I offer a variety of cards to choose from.


Today's Scripture Reading:
"Shout joyfully to the Lord, all the earth. Serve the Lord with gladness." Psalm 100:1-2.

May you have a Terrific Tuesday and a blessed week.

Misty Moonlight




Next week, I will share a project using some of these colors.
In my Joyful Heart Gift Shop I offer a wide variety of greeting cards and small gifts.

Today's Scripture Reading:
"Let us, therefore, draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and may find grace to help in the time of need." Hebrews 4:16.

May you have a Terrific Tuesday and a blessed week.

Terrific Tuesday #15-What To Write In A Wedding Card

Hello, and welcome to Terrific Tuesday #15



~What to write in a wedding card~
When I create handmade cards, I generally leave the inside blank to allow your own personalized message.  Perhaps there are times when you are unsure as to what to write. Here are a few ideas:
  • A Bible verse is always nice to include-"Therefore, what God has joined together, let no one separate." Mark 10:9.
  • Here's to a lifetime full of happiness and love.
  • So honored to spend this happy occasion with you and your family.
  • Today is the beginning of your next chapter. Here's to both of you!
  • Thank you for letting me/us share in your special day. I/We wish you all the happiness in the world.
  • Wishing you well as you embark on this next chapter of life. Cheers!
  In my Joyful Heart Gift Shop, I offer a variety of cards for all occasions.

 Today's Scripture Reading:
"Peace I leave you; My peace I give to you; not as the world gives, do I give you. Let your heart not be troubled, nor let it be fearful." John 14:27

May you have a Terrific Tuesday and a blessed week.
