When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left and could say, "I used everything you gave me, Lord." I am a believer that God created each one of us with a unique talent, therefore, use it well to serve Him.

Just Us Girls #61 - 3D Challenge

The Challenge for this week at Just Us Girls #61, is to simply add a 3-D holiday embellishments on your projects or cards.  Instead of just using the 3D embellishment as additional element on my project, I actually used it as the highlights for my card entry.  This is one good way of using up your stash that's collecting dust somewhere in your craftroom.   Here's my take and I made an easel card:

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
PAPER: DCWV
STAMP: Hero Arts (Sentiments)
INKPAD: Versamark
TOOLS: PC Paper trimmer, Fiskars edge punch, Marvy Uchida heat tool, ATG and Zip Dry
EMBELLISH: Jolees 3-D Embellishment stickers

I had fun making cards last night for the different challenges I am playing.  Like usual, I traded crafting for a nice long hours of sleep.  Crazy, right?  Guilty!  What can I do, I love crafting.  Now time to take my afternoon nap.
Wanna try to make an easel card?   Here's an easy to follow tutorial from Beate Johns of SCS.
Till next week...
