As soon as I saw this stamp set in the last (April 2023) MFT release, I knew I had to have it. I loved teaching my kids to pray kneeling at their beds each night. And I love praying with my grandkids now. AND, the stamp has a little girl and a little boy that look just like my two grandkids that I pray with, so perfection! The stamp set is called In My Prayers and it has a set of In My Prayers matching dies. I bought the dies this time as I knew I would use this set a lot. Here is an image:
And here is my card:
I started by stamping all of the images in the In My Prayers stamp set with Intense Black Ink on white cardstock. I stamped two of the shelves and books. I then colored them all in with colored pencils. I used a white Uniball gel pen to add dots to the bed and lines here and there. I die-cut them all out with the matching dies.
I die-cut a Stitched Octagon STAX Die-namics from the middle of a piece of A2 sized white cardstock. This octagon set is part of their brand new release (May, 2023). I used this as a frame for the little room I was going to create with all of the images. Then I had to pick out my "wallpaper" and that took longer than the coloring. I had my grand-daughter help and we had a lot of fun trying all different ones. I have way too many patterned papers for easy choices haha. I went with this blue one although a purple polka dot one was a close second. I attached the frame over the paper and attached that to a white card base.
Next, the fun part and also the part my grand-daughter helped with. We arranged all of the images over the background. Audrey is 8 and very blond and her brother Merrick is five and has almost white blond hair, so I really tried to make these images look like them. I used foam tape behind some of the images. I stamped a sentiment from the stamp set at the top of the frame by cutting it in half first so it was long.
That's it! A nice prayer card to use for all kinds of occasions! But unfortunately, Audrey has demanded it to be hers. She has about 30 of my cards at this point! I love this In My Prayers stamp set and I love that it is so appealing to little kids who are just learning to pray. Thanks MFT for coming out with such a sweet set. I purchased mine at Simon Says Stamp, so my links are to their store. Thanks so much for visiting! Suzy
