I am a designer for STAMPlorations.
My project for the hop is not just one happy card,
I made several Artist Trading Cards, (ATC)
and I also made an ATC holder.
I use the ATCs to journal bible verses on.
To hold the box shut I made a belly band.
On the belly band and inside the box I used:
On inside of box I journaled Hebrews 16:9
If you would like to make an ATC holder
you can check out this tutorial
by the late Melissa Lane.
These 4 ATC were done with watercolors.

ReplyDeleteI love these cards--it does put a smile on my face! Thanks for participating!
ReplyDeleteThis is a gorgous box! I love the little ATC cards. Thanks for participating in the hop! How fun! I can't really tell you which is my favorite scripture because I think they change day to day. BUT I have been through some tough things the last couple of years and the scripture that has lowered my heart rate and placed me in the best mindset is Psalm 23. The Lord is my shepherd.... Hugs and healthy prayers your way!

ReplyDeleteThis would be such a fun project to try! I have lots of scripture stamps, but I haven't started Bible journaling because it just doesn't feel comfortable to paint and color there. I love this idea. Thank you for sharing your beautiful work and for the inspiration to try something new.
ReplyDeleteGreat ideas!
ReplyDeleteFavorite Bible verse...so difficult to choose just one, but Jeremiah 29:11has given me comfort recently.
ReplyDelete”For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”
Love that you used a bible verse. Great project.
ReplyDeleteLoving this project MariLynn, and the fact that you have put so much time and love into it. The ATC's are so pretty, and that is a fabulous holder. One of my favourite verses is Philippians 1:6 - I am sure of this, that He who started a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.
ReplyDeleteStay safe
Blessings

ReplyDeleteWhat a great ATC project! Thank you for sharing your inspiration!

ReplyDeleteSomething to treasure for sure! Love it! Thanks for spreading some joy today and being part of this amazing hop!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great project!! The little box is adorable and the ATCs are perfect for keeping some favorite verses right at hand. Two of my favorite verses are: Philippians 4:13 "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." and "2 Chronicles 20:12b "we do not know what to do, but our eyes are on you." It's very fitting for this time in our lives. We don't know what to do, but we have to keep our eyes fixed on God, because He is not taken by surprise by this virus and He does know what to do!
ReplyDeleteLove the Anchored set and your ATCs. Great project!
ReplyDeleteThe 23rd Psalm is a favorite.
Cool project. My new favorite is "joy is portable".

ReplyDeleteWow what a wonderful project you created. Love the ATC cards along with the bible verses. Additionally I love the ATC holder that you created and colored.
