Terrific Tuesday #43-Product Of The Month

 ~Hello and welcome to Terrific Tuesday #43~
This month I would like to share a product I use each time I create a handmade greeting card. To add height and dimension, I use double-sided adhesive foam dots called Stampin Dimensionals. They come in two sizes, large and small.  


I offer handmade greeting cards and small gifts in my Joyful Heart Gift Shop.

Today's scripture reading:
"What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who is against us? He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him over for us all, how will He not also with Him freely give us all things?" Romans 8:31-32 (NASB)

May you have Terrific Tuesday and a blessed week.

Terrific Tuesday #42-My Creating Process

~Hello and welcome to Terrific Tuesday #42~

Recently, I had a crafting day with my friend's young granddaughters. In this post, I talked about how I had been cutting up my stash of patterned paper in 3"x4" pieces and using those as a foundation for my card bases. I was able to use these pieces to make packets for them to create their cards. The photos show the packets prepped and ready to go:

They enjoyed the process and were able to create a variety of cards. They made two of each of four designs—one to keep and one donate to a local assisted living home. 

I offer handmade greeting cards and small gifts in my Joyful Heart Gift Shop.

Today's scripture reading:
"Trust in the LORD with all your heart And do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He will make your paths straight." Proverbs 3:5-6 (NASB)

May you have a Terrific Tuesday and a blessed week.

Terrific Tuesday #41-What To Write In A Valentine's Day Card

~Hello and welcome to Terrific Tuesday #41~

With Valentine's Day just a few days away, perhaps you will be giving or sending a Valentine's Day card to a family member or friend. I would like to offer a few suggestions as to what to write on the inside of a card:
  1. Be my valentine.
  2. My heart smiles just thinking about you.
  3. Happy heart day.
  4. Sending a smile your way.
  5. May God bless you and keep you.
  6. Just a little reminder that you are loved.
I like to include a link to my  Joyful Heart Gift Shop where I offer handmade greeting cards and small gifts.

Today's scripture reading:
"We love each other because He loved us first." 1 John 4:19

May you have a Terrific Tuesday and a blessed week.
