Love and Fun with Digital Papers

Hello Fellow Crafters,
Using We Are 3 Digital Papers/Butterfly Sky Collection and Sentiments-Be Attitudes


Today I am sharing an Encouragement card I made as I played around and layered some lovely We Are 3 Digital Papers - Butterfly Sky Collection and Be Attitudes Sentiments giving my layers a intricate touch by using my Spellbinders dies. I am so in love with this Butterfly Sky Collection/8 page pack available in the Miss Daisy Stamps Store. I used 3 different sheets from the pack and I love that I can size and print what I need and/or emphasis on a specific area of the paper by cropping.


My Printer Information:
 I have an HP Printer and take advantage of their HP Instant Ink Service which offers several monthly packages depending on your printing needs. I choose the smallest package and can print up to 50 pages per month $2.99 ink is sent for my specific printer as I need. I do get an email saying I am a few pages before hitting my limit and if I go over they offer an overage package of $1.00 for the next 15 pages and 01.cent for each page after that. And my unused pages do Rollover.  If you have an HP(Hewlett Packard) Printer and decide to sign up through the Link I shared you get the first Month Free as my(Antoinette Tristan) Friend.  I am not a paid advertiser for them...I just wanted to share hoping if you have an HP this would help you be Cost wise...it is a time and money saver for me...just saying.
-----------

Here is what I did a little different for this intricate design on using my Spellbinders dies. I used to halves of the Timeless Rectangle dies to make my cards foundation larger.
The next Step:

I love how my card came out. I even had fun cutting a strip from a scrap of the  Butterfly sheets with the butterflies on it to put in my little bottle.
I want to enter my card into the following Facebook Group Challenge:
Miss Daisy Stamps Create & Share - October/Your favorite Embellishment
+++++++++++
I hope you enjoyed your visit and I encouraged you to give Digital Papers a try. I invite you to pop on over to We Are 3 Digital Papers Facebook page.  I know it took me a long time to give it and try and I am so glad I did as I have learned so many steps, tricks and techniques to make my digital papers a wise and fun choice to craft with.

Until next time...Bountiful blessings of hope, health and joy to you and yours.

A Pocket Full of...Thankfulness

Hello Fellow Crafters,



Today I am sharing a pocket card I put together using We Are 3 Digital Papers - Thankful Collection along with the lovely Thankful Recipe cards.  I absolutely love the colors and designs in this packet.  It is available in the Miss Daisy Stamps Store and I invite you to pop on over the Facebook Group and join other Friendly Crafters as you check out all the fun and fabulous Digital Papers available through We Are 3 Digital Papers.




 
I have a picture tutorial on how 
to make a pocket card HERE on another Blog Post. On this pocket card project...I took advantage of my Anna Griffin Ribbon die, April Garden Edge dies and embossing folder to give my pocket card a special look especially since I was going to have one of the We Are 3 Digital Papers - Thankful Recipe Cards in it as an insert. I merged in the We Are 3 -  Be Attitudes encouraging  Scripture sentiments.


   
     My Pocket Card with 2 inserts one as note card and the Recipe Card can be used as a book marker.
I would like to enter my card into the following Challenges:
Allsorts Challenges #384 - Colors of Autumn
Digi Designs Challenge - Add a Sentiment
Imagine That Creative Playground - Fall Embossing
Crafting with Friends #28 - Anything Goes


    +++++++

I am loving that Autumn is in the air here in Texas. I don't feel it has completely arrived but I am enjoying how it gives me touches of cool mornings and evenings here and there.  And I love seeing all the fall colors popping in on the trees and harvest time decorations at the stores. 

Until next time...Bountiful Blessings to you and yours.

Let me Encourage You - Recipe Cards

Hello Fellow Crafters,

Today I am sharing an old but new project I have done with my store bought recipe cards. I started doing this a few years back as an encouragement to myself when struggling through some challenges in my life journey. For instance...I knew I had faith the size of a mustard seed...so I would look for scriptures to keep me in the direction(s) to stay focused on the golden nuggets God left me in his word as my Abba(Father) God and me as his child to stand firm in faith keeping my eyes on him to do what was needed to get me through.   ++++++++

I would hand write my Recipe, Directions, Ingredients by hand
...but now with technology and creative Digital Designers like Bonnie Kohane these lovely and fabulous Recipe cards-Butterflies


are available through We Are 3 Digital Papers in the Miss Daisy Stamps Store so you can merge in Scriptures, Sentiments that are available in pgn.file format in the We Are 3 Digital Papers Collection of goodies.  And how appropriate to have butterflies on these recipe cards...as they are a symbol of new beginnings. 

I used the We Are 3 Digital Papers:
                   Courage Sentiments Digital- in jpeg & pgn.format


Used We Are 3 Digital Paper Butterfly Sky Collection



I used these lovely Butterfly Recipe Cards as inserts into my cards that I give to Friends and/or they can be used alone as BookMarkers.


I used Word.doc to merge the We Are 3 Digital Paper "Courage Sentiments" in front of these Butterflies Recipe cards by using the "Layout Options" and choosing the "Text Wrapping" option "Through" to lay the sentiments in front of the recipe cards.


I hope you enjoyed your visit and read my Recipe today as a tasty recipe for your and my life's journey. Be Brave. 
 Be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.              Joshua 1:9

Thankful for You...Butterfly Sky

Until next time...be blessed.
