Sending Love Bookmark w/Creative Worship

Hello, friends and thanks for visiting.  I don't normally share "just" a bookmark as a project.  However, I am under a bit of a pressure crunch this month to complete all my art assignments so that I can go spend some much-needed time with my (very elderly) parents in Minnesota.  They need my help, and I'm blessed to be able to go.  So, for this reason, I've been busy making all my cards and projects for the month.  For this particular post, I decided to create two projects in one. This pretty card and bookmark duo showcases some of the NEW Release items from Creative Worship.  They are SO awesome.

For the bookmark, I used white cardstock and the Bookmarks & More Dies to cut my bookmark.  I painted the entire bookmark with Pistachio Oxide Ink.  I stamped the top of the bookmark with the sweet tag found in the NEW Spring Tag Collage Stamp Set.  I used the little topper (black cardstock) and I used a sentiment (sending love) from this set.  The coordinating Tag & More Dies allowed me to cut those small tag piece (topper and sentiment).  In fact, there are several different sentiment strips in this sweet new set that will fit each of the (four) lovely sentiments in the NEW Spring Tag Collage Stamp Set.

I stamped the bottom portion of the bookmark, as well as the background of the sentiment, using Texture Tiles 1 Stamp Set (grid image).  I splattered the card and bookmark with Oxide Inks and painted the flowers (which I layered) with the Oxide Inks.  I ran a bit of jute through the top of my bookmark.  It's fairly simple, and this sweet set of Bookmarks & More Dies allows you to easily make bookmarks which are always a nice little gift.  The final addition to this little bookmark was adding the John 3:16 ticket at the bottom.  This sweet stamp is also found in the wonderful NEW Spring Tag Collage Stamp Set and the coordinating ticket die-cut is found in the NEW Tag & More Dies.

The matching card uses the Stitched Rectangle Dies for the base, and I used the gorgeous NEW Heart Doily Stencil on the background with Pistachio Oxide Ink.  At the bottom of this card, I stamped a definition using the lovely NEW Faith Definitions 2 Stamp Set.  The Happy Birthday sentiment is also found in the Spring Tag Collage Stamp Set.  The sentiment strip was cut using the Tag & More Dies.

Thanks for stopping by today, everyone.  Please feel free to ask if you have any questions or if I forgot to mention any of the products I used.  I do hope you'll stop by my Instagram Page to say hello and to Follow me there, please.  You can find so much fabulous inspiration on the Creative Worship IG Page every day, and so much happy shopping at Creative Worship Stamps.  Have a wonderfully creative week, my friends.

Your Way. Your Will. Your Timing.

At Creative Worship Stamps, you're always sure to find the perfect sentiments to encourage and uplift, and the sweetest scriptures, images, and stamps, dies, stencils, etc.  In fact, there's rarely an occasion (if ever) that I can't find the perfect sentiments, background stamps, and all that I could ever need to help me create fun and interesting cards to let others know I'm thinking about them.  That's something I really LOVE💖about Creative Worship Stamps.  Each month when I'm making my selections at Creative Worship Stamps, it doesn't matter WHAT I end up ordering, I end up regretting not getting the things I didn't purchase.  This month, I had to go back and add another stamp set to my order for October.  I could not resist the Family of God Stamp Set and the NEW coordinating Family of God Dies.  How cute!

I used basic black cardstock layered with a white cardstock piece that I rubbed with Speckled Egg Oxide Ink and Spun Sugar Oxide Ink.  I splattered the background lightly with water and creamy white acrylic paint and cut it using the Stitched Rectangle Frame Dies.  I used some scraps from the background (pink/blue inks) and more of the vintage sheet music to cut some borders using the sweet Scallop Border Dies.  I also tied some Solid Ivory Baker's Twine around my card.  The churches were stamped using the adorable Family of God Stamp Set.  The wreaths were cut from vintage sheet music and cream cardstock using the Lovely Wreaths Die Set.

At the bottom of my card, all around the darling churches (which were stamped onto vintage sheet music and colored with my Copics) I used the darling NEW Wordfetti Mash-Up Stamp Set to lightly stamp several sweet and encouraging sentiments using Hickory Smoke Oxide Ink.  The sentiment that I stamped at the top of my card, inside the Lovely Wreaths is found in the Peaceful Botanicals Stamp Set.  I added some pink, white, yellow and green floral prills to my wreaths.  I think that covers everything I used on my card, but please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks so much for your visits to my blog.  I will always enjoy blogging and explaining my cards in detail.  Of course, it doesn't hurt that I'm able to type in excess of 100wpm so it doesn't take me long at all to type it out.  The links are the time-consuming part, but I truly want EVERYONE to be able to experience this gorgeous NEW Release at Creative Worship Stamps.  Have a wonderfully creative week.

I'm playing along and sharing my card here:

By Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers' Fall/Winter "Falling for the Holidays Linky Party - This is my first entry.  I won't be able to enter very many cards in this fun event.  I'm visiting my parents, and my Mom was just hospitalized today.
