An Easy Way to Make Scripture Cards

Here is yet another great way to use up those old tear off calendar pages you have sitting around your house and it’s super easy. All you need is card stock, tear off calendar pages, scissors, a glue stick and anything else you want to decorate your scripture cards with. First, cut your card stock to about the size of a 4x6 photo, then take a tear off calendar page and separate the picture from the Bible verse using scissors. Next take your glue stick and glue your picture onto your card stock. Lastly add your Bible verse to the top or bottom of your card and you have a nice scripture card! You can leave your scripture card as is or decorate it with stickers, stick on gems, ribbon, colored pencils, washi tape etc. Lots of options there. You could also use Bible verse stickers or decals as an alternative to the verses on your calendar pages as I did above. I also colored the edges of my cards with colored pencils and decorated with small foil stickers. Make as many cards as you like and decorate each one differently, in the same way God makes all of us different and unique. You can also find many different uses for your cards. You can punch holes in them and attach them to an index card ring and have them with you on the go. You could also display them throughout your house and frame them. I like to change out the cards in my frames every month. I also like to give away some of my scripture cards at church as well. Or you could have them in your prayer corner and meditate on them during your prayer time. Whichever way you choose to use them, I hope these cards will be a blessing to you.

Blessings and creatively yours,

Christmas Version of Galaxy Painting

Here is a Christmas themed version of galaxy painting (see earlier posts) that I did over the weekend. First I cut a piece of white paper into thick strips. Then I wrote my friends’ names on each strip in either green or red paint. The trick to this step is to take your time and form the letters slowly or else you won’t be able to read them. Next I took the opposite paint color and painted dots in the letters to make them look like wreaths. Again this step should not be done too quickly. I then took a Q tip, dipped it in various shades of light blue paint and dabbed it around the letters to create snowflakes. After I finished painting I let it all dry overnight. The next day I took some red construction paper and cut into strips slightly bigger than the letter paintings. Then I grabbed a glue stick and glued each painting to a red strip. Lastly for a little extra decoration I glued some pre cut squares of gift wrapping above the letters without covering ...

Galaxy Painting

For my first tutorial I am going to teach you how to do Galaxy Painting, my own style of painting that I invented this weekend! Materials you will need: Plain white paper White crayon Water color paint Tempera Paint Q tips A small cup of water Thick construction paper Glue stick Scissors Step 1: Cut your white paper anyway you want or leave as is Step 2: Draw on your white paper with your white crayon. This step may be a little difficult because you won’t really be able to see what you are drawing. I would recommend keeping it super simple by just drawing stars, the moon or anything you might see in outer space. You can also write your name as well. Stencils might also make this step easier if you have them on hand. Step 3: Grab your water color paint and paint the entire piece of white paper. You will magically be able to see your white crayon drawings. Use as many colors as you want to create a tie dye design. You can also add glitter while the paint is still wet but this is co...
