Hello Creative Friends,
Today’s share is another way to make your Sunday School and church Christmas trees to have a little more meaning by making the names of God mentioned in Isaiah 9:6 to place on a tree or to just use as decorations.   You can also make them for your home trees but I made them a little large with church decorations in mind:)

Isaiah 9:6 is one of my favorite verses at Christmastime.
“For unto us a child is born , unto us a son is given : and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor , The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.”

There is a pdf file of the names for you to print out.   Mine were printed out on white card stock and I cut them out just around the square edge.  Then I sponged the edges with Creamy Caramel ink and I also sponged the ink directly over the entire name to give it kind of an aged look.

To begin with I made a base of Chocolate Chip card stock (6 x 3 1/2).  The next layer is Old Olive card stock (5 1/2 x 3) on which I stamped one of the snowflake images on from the Stampin’ Up! Snow Swirled stamp set, Item #111690 in the catalog on page 36.  This is a very pretty stamp set and I’ll be sharing some projects with it later in the week.

I used the Creamy Caramel ink to sponge around the edges of the Old Olive card stock as well.   Ribbon, brads, and photo corners (from Photo Corners Punch) were added to finish the name cards off.   I didn’t add any type of hanger but only placed them on the branches of the tree but you could add ribbon or string if you wanted.

Tips:

• Spell out Isaiah 9: 6 on a church bulletin board and make the name cards to add to it.
• Make the name cards and string across your fireplace.
• This is a great way to Keep “Christ” in your Christmas!

By the way, I spelled “counsellor” on the pdf with two l’s as it is in the KJV.

Have a creative day,
