A Blessed Christmas

Hello all you fabulous paper artists in blogland!

Admirable Virtues
But I say, walk and live [habitually] in the
[Holy] Spirit [responsive to and controlled and 
guided by the Spirit]; then you will certainly not
gratify the cravings and desires of the flesh
(of human nature without God).
                                   GALATIANS 5:16

Pink And Teal Candlelight

Hello all you fabulous paper artists in blogland!

Desire God's Heart
Arm yourselves with the same thought and purpose
[patiently to suffer rather than fail to please
 God]. For whoever has suffered in the flesh [having
the mind of Christ] is done with [intentional] sin
[has stopped pleasing himself and the world, and
pleases God], so that he can no longer spend the rest
of his natural life living by [his] human appetites
and desires, but [he lives] for what God wills. 
                                                                        1 PETER 4:1-2

Festive Notes

Hello all you fabulous paper artists in blogland!

Choose Excellence
I am Your servant; give me understanding
(discernment and comprehension), that I may know
(discern and be familiar with the character of)
Your testimonies.
           PSALM 119:125

I was on Pinterest a couple of weeks ago and found a gentleman by the name of John (bet you all know who I'm talking about), he designs some fabulous cards. This card is similar to one he created. I fell in love with it when I saw it because it makes me think of chocolate and I love chocolate. How silly is that! Any who, yes I had to case it! Think I might make a few more for Christmas.   
 Paper: Cocoa, Dark Chocolate, Gold Shimmer Sheetz
 Ink: Color Box Frost White, Versa Mark WaterMark
Accessories: Spellbinders - 5 x 7 Mystical Embrace, Ranger Superfine Detail Embossing Powder, Golden Rod Stickles, Gold Ribbon, Gold Pearls, Cuttlebug Embossing Folder Modern Wallpaper, Pop Dots.

Instructions: Die cut 2 card base pieces from the 5 x 7 Mystical Embrace. Take one of them and score it 1/2" down from the top. This will allow the back panel to bend instead of the front when you open the card. Adhere the two panels together at the top. Cut shimmer sheetz 2 3/8" x 4 1/2", emboss and adhere to card. Die cut oval from radiant rectangles, apply pop dots and place on card. Ink up Festive Notes stamp with white pigment ink, stamp on a piece of scrap paper then stamp onto oval and heat set. Next ink up sentiment stamp with versamark, center and stamp over Festive Notes. Apply embossing powder and heat set. For the flowers, ink up stamp with versa mark, apply embossing powder and heat set. Next, shape flowers and add gold stickles to the pedals, adhere to card and place a pearl in center. Create a bow and adhere as shown. Place some pearls around card for a finishing touch.

Happy (blessed, fortunate, enviable) is the man

profit if it better than fine gold.
