Good morning everybody! The Christian Paper Crafts July Design Team Delights Gallery is now open! I know it's a moment you've all been waiting for. We have over 100 projects in there packed full of inspiration all made to glorify the Lord and to inspire you. To celebrate, today is our monthly blog hop where you participate in this month's theme of Retro & Vintage. Our monthly blog hop is held at the Christian Paper Crafts Creative Blog.
If you're not familiar with Christian Paper Crafts, we're an online community of women who love the Lord and love paper. It's that simple. Our community is subscriber only on private servers to ensure your privacy. We are a group of women who pray for each other, encourage, and uplift one another. Jesus is always first and there's a lot of other fun things going on inside too; such as challenges for all paper crafters, a Cricut section, a Spellbinders Paper Arts section led by one of their design team members, Copic markers, organizing, decorating, Bible studies, prayer requests, everything is all inside! We have 3 tiers of subscription plans that are all budget friendly.
On the 15th of every month, the Christian Paper Crafts Design Team presents to you a gallery full of the most inspirational and unique paper crafting projects on the internet that can't be found anywhere else. Our theme this month is Retro & Vintage! This exclusive gallery is only available to Christian Paper Crafts Super Sisters and King's Daughter's members, but we like to share a few sneak peeks with you that start on the 10th of each month showcased on the design team's personal blogs and at the Christian Paper Crafts Creative Blog. If you'd like to sign up to be a member, we'd love to have you join our wonderful community and family of women who truly love the Lord and glorify him in all that they do. You will feel at home instantly with our warm camaraderie and you can't miss the Holy Spirit being amongst us.
We always have about 100 projects in the gallery and two guest designers every month. One King's Daughter member is chosen and the other guest designer is somebody that I ask to join us. This month, we only have one guest designer due to the busy summer season of Patter Cross. What a blessing it is to have her with us this month and you'll be blessed too by what she's created for you!
Please join us for our Blog Hop on the 22nd of each month (today!) where you're invited to show us the projects that you've made with our monthly theme. We always have terrific prizes to offer our members and nonmembers too. We don't want to leave anybody out. Today's prize sponsor is none other than Crafty Secrets/Clear Art Stamps who specializes in vintage and retro stamps, and many other vintage and retro items for a complete store. Sandy Redburn (the owner)is offering a very generous prize of several stamp sets. They have a fabulous blog that is a daily must read and there is always something terrific going on over there. They've also just released 10 brand new stamp sets too which are perfect for you retro and vintage lovers out there. I personally have a nice collection of their stamps and have been published frequently using them.
For my card today, I used a Unity Itty Bitty set that coordinates with Jillibean Soup paper and I used Cosmo Cricket paper instead. I also took a picture of the inside of my card because I used my Cricut machine for my image and sentiment using techniques that I learned at our Everything Cricut Board that Jennipher Lowery leads inside of Christian Paper Crafts. We have four individual Cricut Boards with videos, tutorials, and everything you've ever wanted to know or need to know about your Cricut machine; Cricut Cartridge Exploration, Cricut College, Cricut Chat, and Cricut Design Software. I have decided that I would like to start a monthly Cricut challenge too, so here's the heads up, and I'll be providing the information on that once the details are available.
We hope that you'll join us today for our blog hop and may the Lord richly bless your day. Today's Treasure: Luke 12. Here is my Uptown Girls card.
Below is the inside of my card using my Cricut Expression with the Forever Young cartridge.
