Christian Paper Crafts "Gracious Glimpse" (Sneak Peek)

Hi everyone! Today is my day to share a "Gracious Glimpse" (sneak peek) for the September Design Team Delights gallery at Christian Paper Crafts which opens on the 15th. This month's theme is "Fabulous Fall"! I love crafting with fall colors....as you can see by my sample!

I've been saving this gorgeous designer paper for a special occasion....I also used it to alter a photo frame....but you'll have to wait for the DTD gallery to open in order to see it! If you'd like to see more "Gracious Glimpses" from the CPC Design Team, please visit the CPC Creative Blog HERE. Also, if you would like to play along with this month's theme, join us for our monthly Blog Hop on the 22nd....check out the deets HERE! Hope to see you there!



For my sample, first thing, I cut the designer paper to 5-1/4 square, then cut out the leaf with a perfectly placed Spellbinders Nested Leaves die (since I planned to hand-cut a mat for the leaf, it was safe to cut the leaf out of my card panel...yes, I'm a cheater!). The image and sentiment from the Our Daily Bread designs "The Good Seed" set were stamped directly onto the leaf, the edges were sponged with SU Cajun Craze, then adhered to the leaf mat which I traced with the same die and cut by hand. The flourish is a Cheery Lynn Designs "Fanciful Flourish" die, and the button I made with the smallest leaf die in the Nested Leaves set. To see a tutorial on how to make your own buttons out of paper and clear glaze, please see this post. They are super simple and so rewarding!!!
