Dear Friend,

Welcome to Lost Art Cards and Designs.

You might find tiny bouquets on paper, pretty places, words of encouragement, the artwork of others, or a quote from a good book.

My hope is that you will find something that delights the eye of your heart and remains a part of you for a lifetime.

Prayer Cards, Prayer House

 This small house was made to hold prayer request cards for the church we attend. 



Little house with prayer request cards.


The request cards fit nicely inside the prayer box.


I enjoyed the challenge of making this little house using the new die from Papertrey InkTiny Town: Basics and Tiny Town:  Square Shingles Dies. You may not be able to tell from the pictures of the house, but the roof shingles when cut give the appearance of individual shingles.  Really neat! The possibilities for these buildings in the Tiny Town set are endless!

After cutting several houses and practicing stamping a variety of  designs on the walls of the house,  I decided to use Rubber Stamp Tapestry's Pottery Garden set and a variety of inks for color. 

The prayer cards were made by die cutting and stamping Papertrey Ink's Boards and Beams and A Cheerful Heart stamp sets. I added 4 eyelets to reinforce the top of the house for a string closure.  I would love to hear your comments about this prayer box.

Marybeth, thank you for your kind comment.This house was the first I have made using Papertrey Ink's new Tiny Town die , and giving to our church was somewhat nerve wracking. Your encouragement blessed me today.
