Word Art Wednesday with Not 2 Shabby

Welcome back, stamping friends! This time at Word Art Wednesday we have a returning sponsor. Not 2 Shabby has  graciously supplied us with a $25.00 gift certificate to spend at their wonderful online store. One thing I love about Not 2 Shabby Is that their products make creating wonderful cards so very easy. They have a wonderful assortment of coordinating ephemera, patterned papers and stamps. 

For my card, I used two of their products. The first one is called Serene Escape Ephemera. Adding to that, I used the Serene Escapes Patterned Paper. I finished off the card with a purple card stock base and frame from Michaels. The sentiment is from a Stampin’ Up! Set called Hello. Easy peasy!

Be sure to hop on over to Word Art Wednesday and play along with us. We have a lovely scripture that you can use, but it’s never required. Neither is using any of the products from our sponsor. Just play along and have fun!

Word Art Wednesday Guest Designing, Again!

I'm honored and blessed to be guest designing another time over at Word Art Wednesday! This time their sponsor is a company called Not Too Shabby, and they are giving away a $25.00 gift certificate to a randomly chosen winner. And let me tell you, for this challenge you'll definitely want to enter, because Not Too Shabby has so much wonderful stuff in their shop.

This was my first time buying from them and choosing was so hard. I wound up ordering the Serene Escape Ephemera Pack and Coordinating Paper. I chose these because I have quite a bit of purple card stock that I bought at Michaels and even have some purple envelopes. So these were perfect. 

Ephemera makes card making so, so easy and I just loved working with these pieces. They're so pretty and unique. I ended up making 12 cards in one afternoon and since it was just before Mother's Day I ended up taking them to church for the ladies to take if they wanted to. (See my picture below.) 

The scripture fit perfectly on the card as well. I printed it at home on some light lavender card and trimmed it down. It makes a great centerpiece for the ephemera.

In addition to the supplies from Not Too Shabby, I used purple card stock from a Michael's pack, Stampin' Up!'s Basic Gray card stock and some pearls from Jolee's. Super simple!

Here's the card rack at church. The flowers were there already and I love how they matched!

My desk just as I was getting started. I did add some of my own rubber stamp scriptures to the 12
cards I made for church.

Here are a few other photos of the cards that I made with this set...

Be sure to check out this challenge over at Word Art Wednesday and play along. It's always an "anything goes" challenge and you never have to use the scripture if it doesn't work. It's just fun and they would love to have you!
