Hi everyone!

Below is a card I made using the Ruby Tuesday Digital freebie scripture for July 19.
Here is the link to her site:  Dee's Bugaboo Boutique.  Every Tuesday, Dee posts a fee digital stamp of scripture.  Great inspiration...

PROJECTS PLAYLIST:
Me and Charlie Talking - Miranda Lambert
House That Built Me - Miranda Lambert
American Honey - Lady Antebellum
(I love country...)

RECIPE FOR CARD:
- My Heart Stamps 4 U stamps (angel, friendship, note)
- Red, white, and blue coordinating paper (the red and one of the blues preferably with a pretty design)
- Red marker (I have Tombow markers) and red cat's eye mini stamp pad
- Red flower accent w/ brad
- Spellbinders Nestabilities Labels One largest size die
- Cuttlebug D'vine Swirls Embossing folder

Craft tools:
- Paper Cutter, Sharp Scissors, Bone folder, Corner Rounder, 3-D adhesive, Zig 2-Way glue, Brayer, Paper Crimper, Cuttlebug and plates

INSTRUCTIONS FOR CARD:
- Cut the white cardstock at 6X12" and fold in half.  Round corners.  On the inside, stamp the note stamp using red marker.  On the remaining scrap paper, stamp the friendship sentiment and the angel.  Cut out and set aside.  Cut out a 4.5" square and set this aside also.
- Cut the colored papers in a 5.5" square and 5" square.  Round all corners.  Run the 5.5" square through a paper crimper.  Layer squares on front of card.
- Sponge the white border of the card using the red cat's eye stamp pad.
- Cut the remaining blue paper and the other red and blue papers in 1.5" squares for 9 squares total.  Glue the squares to 4.5" white square.  Use brayer to ensure paper is stuck well.
- Cut this square using Spellbinders die.  Use 3-D adhesive to 'pop' this to front of card.
- Attach flower to cut out friendship rectangle using a brad.  Glue angel to this and glue all of it to front of card.

Here is the inside of the card:

RECIPE FOR BRACELET:

- My Heart Stamps 4 U stamps (angel, friendship)

- Red Guitar Picks

- Blue Crystals

- Fishing line

- Silver rolo chain (Rio Grande)

- Toggle Clasp and Jump Rings (Blue Buddha Boutique)

- Stazon Black

- Shrinky Dinks paper

Craft tools:

- Scissors, Heat Gun, Chain Nose and Flat Nose Pliers, Foredom or drill, Bur Life, Black Marker, Jewelry Glue, Crop-a-Dile

INSTRUCTIONS FOR BRACELET:

- Mark and drill one hole on each end of 4 guitar picks.

- Make 4 crystal beaded beads (directions here)

- Cut the rolo chain and fit the links so they go through the beaded beads.

- Attach everything together with jumprings.

You will have this:

- Stamp friendship once and angel 4 times on SHINY side of Shrinky Dinks paper. 

This is what you get if you stamp on the other, non-shiny side:

Blurry blurry!

- Cut out images and punch holes large enough to be able to get a jump ring through later

- Use heat gun and shrink all the cut out images

- Attach the plastic to the bracelet using jump rings.

hope you liked my projects.
