Stamp a Blessing: October 2015

Oct 29, 2015

So much to share....

And I think I found the perfect way. It will take a while but I think in this season of my life my smart phone will be the solution. 😍

I found an app for blogger and I am ready to try it.

Here it goes!

Il add a couple of photos and see how it works!

My life is so much more than stamping. Stamping is only ONE way I express myself and God's love. But kids activities, cooking, sewing, singing....so many ways to be love.

We were called to be love. Let's see how this post comes along.

Ready, set, post!

Creative Blessings,

Woa! October is almost gone!

Hello my dear friends,

Yes, October has been crazy busy. I am testing to see if I can post on my blog from my phone because if THAT's the case THEN i can keep you all updated. Yay!

WELL, NOPE, I WAS NOT ABLE TO SEND ALL THESE PICTURES THRU MY PHONE, TTO BIG…SO I ENDED COMING TO MY COMPUTER AND POSTING THEM. :P
Here a few cards I have made lately. Believe me, its been bunches! I had several events in October with sweet sweet ladies...here a few snapshots.

Snowplace stamp set with some hot cocoa inside. Few details for my sweet ladies.

This was at Lisa's party. Such a refreshing time with beautiful ladies!

Samples to inspire from the Holiday Catalog.

One of our projects that afternoon made with the Gift Bag Punchboard.

We had 9 ladies -not all on this pic- that night. Lisa made pizza...oh dear!

It was awesome and each lady made 4 cards and a gift bag.

These were some of the swaps I made with my customers on October 5th.

Lynnsey and Ginny did such a great job!

Have a blessed day!!
Visit my store at www.stampablessing.stampinup.net and ask me any questions thru here!

Love you all!

These girlies make me so happy (and my boy too).

Phone blogging!

Well the last post I tried had too many pictures!
So it failed :/

Im trying again posting from my phone with only two pictures!

** I came to check this short post and it totally left part of my writing out….sigh…I posted below. Trying to post from my phone has a learning curve, I will figure it out. **

My girlies decided in prayer they will dress as Mary -Martha's sister- who sat at Jesus' feet for this year's Truth & Treats.

They wait impatiently for this day all year. Our goal: point to Jesus!

I will update you in this non-paper adventure. :)

Creative Blessings,

Jess

Stampin'UP! You've Got This

This stamp set was the first one I got from the new catalog this year.

And what a blessing to have it.

Not just the flower is precious.

The sentiments are the best.

You've Got This

On this card I used my flower to create a background.

I used Island Indigo and Smokey Slate.

Precious colors that complement the Butterfly thinlits.

Send a word of His unfailing love…. it is #playweek at my house.

While we play, lets encourage one another, lets spur each other onto love and good deeds, lets grow in the knowledge of Christ.

Build a Birthday Stampin'Up!

Such a cool card with this awesome stamp set.

I added 5 of these to my friend's gift last month.

It was fun to make and with a person you love in mind, even better.

Island Indigo, Bermuda Bay and Crumb Cake are my colors.

Build a Birthday Stamp Set

That cute Baker's Twine in Island Indigo makes a simple but cute embellishment.

The sequins is my favorite part.

At times giving may be an offering, a seed you won't see grow till time passes. I want to keep sowing seeds of friendship, seeds of gratefulness. I pray everything I do matters.

I turned my Paper Pumpkin box inside out and decorated with blue Designer Series Paper.

Then I used tissue paper and placed a little note on top. :)

Ideas with my Paper Pumpkin box…a gift!

In what I do, I always pray and seek to do well not only in teaching, inspiring and developing relationships but also in my giving.

I prayed for who to give a gift last month and the Lord put a couple in my heart.

Hope they get to use these and bless as many they can. They work extremely hard serving our community and I know God sees all their work and love.

Here the box that encases 15 cards. Yes 15!
I made 5 of the ones I posted last Friday.

5 Get Well Soup, see below,

and 5 Birthday cards -will post tomorrow-. ;)

I really like this card. The Get Well Soup stamp set is so valuable.

Every time I need a get better card I don't have it available.

So happy to share!

Paper Piecing is Fun!

Here in the process. You can see I stamped the soup twice, then cut and glued. This is called Paper Piecing. You stamp your image on your top layer and also on Designer Series Paper (DSP). The cut that DSP and adhere to the top layer. :)

Bow Bigz Die

My bow was made with the Bow die. The picture above shows you how much you need. I cut 2 small bows and 4 large bow sides. Adhered with tombow glue (love it!)

Then add the legs. Last but not least adhere the Vintage Button with glue dots.

Bigz Bow Die

Below is what I did to create my box from one of my Paper Pumpkin boxes. I used my masks, White Craft ink and sponges to make the white dots.

Dots & Stripes Decorative Masks

I will show you the insides of this box and other cards too here soon!

Creative Blessings!

She believed she could… Stampin'Up!

And this week thou fully scheduled has been a blessing!

Indeed having my #noslackingweek theme helped me to go through some "down" moments still focused and thankful for all that the Lord is doing in my life.
