Hello stamping friends! Today is a really big day over at Word Art Wednesday. It's our Annual Christmas Blog Hop! We're so glad you've joined us because there are lots of great prizes up for grabs, and you have extra time this round. We'll be adding an extra week so you have until January 6th to play along!
But before we begin, let me share with you my design for this round. I've taken the Word Art Wednesday Bible Verse and created 6 different bookmarks that you can print out and stick in/on a gift, or mail in a Christmas Card. I've tried to make 2 masculine, 2 Christmas, 1 Generic and 1 Feminine. Here's how mine look after I printed them out at FedEx. I chose 100# Matte paper and it cost right around $3.00 to print two sheets.
 |
| The free printables for all of these are below. You can also use a hole punch at the top and attach a ribbon. I hope to mail mine so I'm leaving them flat. They make great little gifts! |
Now, here's what two people can win just by commenting on my blog:
PRIZE #1: Pink & Main "Fall Postage Stamps" Stamp Set & Coordinating Dies
 |
| These are brand new are are oh so cute! The coordinating dies also fit Pink & Main's Christmas Postage Stamp Set too, AND they may have others coming soon! |
PRIZE #2: Picket Fence Stamp Set & Simon Says Stamp Stamp
 |
| How cute are these!? The'll be perfect for the upcoming spring season! |
THE ONLY PLACE YOU CAN WIN THESE PRIZES IS HERE ON MY BLOG SO BE SURE TO COMMENT BELOW! TWO WINNERS WILL BE CHOSEN AND THE BLOG DIRECTOR WILL DECIDE WHO GETS WHICH SET.
Additional note: You don't have to make a card to win the two prizes here. You only need to leave a comment!
And then be sure to hop on over to the other Design Team Member's blogs, and you'll be able to win some really cool prizes there too! Yay! AND There are also TWO $25.00 Unity Stamp gift cards up for grabs by entering the Word Art Wednesday Challenge. We look forward to seeing what you'll create and share with us.
Oh my goodness, it's like it's Christmas or something! Here's the Blog Hop Lineup.

Barb Finnical (You are here)
And as usual, our Bible Verse Designer has come up with a perfect verse, and if you'd like to use it for your own project, that would be wonderful. Here it is:
And here are the free bookmark printables. I'm so sorry that I have to stack them one on top of another, but I don't know how to make 3 photos side by side. Feel free to use them as printables, or send them out digitally.

These bookmarks are FABULOUS! I LOVE reading! What are some of your favorite books?
ReplyDeleteHi Meghan! Right now, I am reading a book called “Comfort and Joy” by Kristen Hannah. I picked it up after reading her book called “The Women.” I am only on Chapter 4, but so much has happened already. I highly recommend it! Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteLove, love, love your bookmarks! My family loves to read so I'll be printing these out. Thank you so much for them.
ReplyDeleteThank you Bonnie! I’m so glad that you’ll be able to print out the bookmarks! And thanks so much for stopping by!
DeleteOooh, I love your bookmarks, Barb. Thank you so much for the free printable bookmarks, very much appreciated! I'm visiting from the Word Art Wednesday Blog Hop but I am in Canada so I understand I am not eligible for your giveaways, no worries.
ReplyDeleteHi Kitty! Thank you so much for stopping by! I’m so glad you liked the bookmarks. As for the prizes, I will be checking on the shipping and also see what Karen says over at Word Art Wednesday. We want to include as many people as we possibly can!
DeleteI love the bookmark printable. Thank you for sharing.

DeleteHi Barb! Your bookmarks are just beautiful! I love how you used different lights to go with the beautiful scripture; creative! Thanks for the downloads; you are so generous! Wishing you the merriest of Christmases and a blessed New Year!
ReplyDeleteBecca, thank you so much for your very kind words, and for noticing the lights in each one. I did try to do that to put a play on words with the Bible verse as well. I’m wishing you and your family a very merry Christmas and a happy new year as well!
DeleteLovely bookmark designs, Barb. Thanks so much for sharing!
ReplyDeleteCynthia, thank you so much for your kind words and for stopping by my blog!
DeleteYour bookmarks are stunning, thank you for the links. We make and send cards to home bound and sick in our church so these will be a great insert! Christmas blessings to you!
ReplyDeleteDonna, I’m so glad you liked the bookmarks and have found a wonderful use for them. Thank you so much for stopping by and for your kind words. Wishing you and your family a very merry Christmas as well as those in your church!
DeleteThanks so much for the Freebie Bookmarks, I'll laminate them and stick them in Stockings.
ReplyDeleteDonna, I am so excited to hear this! That was my hope that people would be able to have a little something extra to stick inside a stocking or gift. So glad you’ll be doing that. Thanks so much for stopping by and have a very merry Christmas!
DeleteYour bookmarks are gorgeous. Thanks for freebie. As I am from Slovenia I just want to wish all of you (WAW DT members) Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
ReplyDeleteMarjeta, thank you so much for stopping by from Slovenia! We are so glad that you are playing along with us at Word Art Wednesday. thank you for your kind words about the bookmarks. We wish you and your family a very merry Christmas and a happy new year as well!
DeleteI love bookmarks and have quite a fun collection, I don't read as much as I used to as my eyes aren't so great anymore, hoping NEW glasses will fix that as I love to read!! Have a very Merry Christmas!!
ReplyDeleteDiane, I totally understand what you’re saying about reading. At 63 I struggle because I am getting cataract in one eye more than the other and the doctor told me that my eyes aren’t even, even with glasses. Hoping all goes well with you and your new glasses. Thanks so much for stopping by and I’m wishing you and your family a very merry Christmas as well!
DeleteBarb, your bookmarks are such a genius idea and they all reflect (pun intended - lol) the light theme of the verse! Have a very merry and blessed Christmas!
ReplyDeleteWanda, thank you so much for stopping by and for your kind words. I wish you and your family a very merry Christmas as well!
DeleteYour bookmarks are beautiful Barb and I love this bible verse. Wishing you and your family a happy holiday and a happy 2026:) xx
ReplyDeleteKaren, I’m so glad you like the bookmarks! Thank you so much for stopping by and I hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas as well!
DeleteTruly lovely set of bookmarks, Barb! Love all of the coordinating images with the scripture. These would make wonderful gifts for a Bible Study group or for my own Bible. I may need to print them out and laminate them too.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a wonderful idea Vicky! If I were giving mine away in person, I would definitely laminate them and then put a little ribbon on the top. But I thought for mailing them the flat ones would be better. Either way they’re nice little bookmarks. Thanks so much for your kind words!
DeleteBarb, it’s such a pleasure to visit your blog and leave you some kind words as I so appreciate all the encouraging comments you leave on my blog posts! Your bookmarks are fabulous! I love the variety! Thank you so much for sharing them! Have a wonderful Christmas and a blessed new year!
ReplyDeleteCarrie, thanks so much for your kind words and for stopping by my blog! I’m wishing you and your family a very merry Christmas and a blessed new year as well!
DeleteHi Barb! Your bookmarks are lovely, and definitely would be a great addition to a Christmas card or as a tag. Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteReverend Arnoldo, thank you so much for your kind words! Merry Christmas to you and your family too!

ReplyDeleteSandy, I don’t believe that I removed this comment of yours, but don’t worry you’re still in the running for prizes. Sometimes blogger has a mind of its own!
DeleteBarb, I came back to thank you for the sweet message you left on the rocker card I posted in the Word Art challenge. I just use the largest circle die in the basic Nestabilities set (around 4 inches?) so maybe the card isn't as big as you think it is. Hope you have fun trying the technique.
DeleteSandy, thanks so much for coming back and telling me the size of the card. Yes, it looks much bigger in the picture, and I know I have a die that size that I can work with. Thanks so much for your inspiration too! Wishing you a very happy new year.
DeleteOh, I love the bookmarks and thank you for sharing them with us. My granddaughter got baptized a few months ago I think she would love one of these for her bible.
ReplyDeleteWishing you a very Merry Christmas and a wonderful and blessed New Year!
Cindy, I’m so glad that you liked the bookmarks. I’m sure one of them will be perfect for your granddaughter. That’s so exciting that she recently got baptized! Congratulations to her! Thanks so much for stopping by!

DeleteYour bookmarks are fabulous!! They look and professional, and of course, the lanterns/lights are perfect for the verse! I'm going to pass on the prizes, thank you, but wanted to tell you I really like these bookmarks!

DeleteI love bookmarks (even though I seem to lose them on airplanes all the time). All of the ones that you created are perfect with the verse. Thanks for showing them on the blog hop!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for your kind words Elizabeth!
DeleteGreat bookmarks.They are fun to have and give. I did laugh at the stacking of them on your blog. I too am not computer literate to try and do that either. I've tried and they go all over the place. Merry Christmas. [Bunny]
