God is not a man that he should tell lies,
Neither a son of mankind that he should feel regret.
Has he himself said it and will he not do it?
And has he spoken and will he not carry it out?
Numbers 23:19
The Bible is full of the prophecies of God, the vast majority of which have already been fulfilled. And here’s the thing – you can prove that to yourself.
If you are prepared to do a little research and not rely on the statements of others, a great adventure awaits you as you realize that the Bible truly is the inspired word of God, a loving Father who wants what’s best for us forever.
The Bible is also full of the promises of God. And here’s the other thing! If you have proved to yourself that Jehovah God is reliable and trustworthy, don’t you have every reason to be confident that he will also fulfill his promise of a paradise earth?

Jesus said to Martha: “I am the resurrection and the life. He that exercises faith in me, even though he dies, will come to life.”
John 11:25
The exquisite frame that I used in this card is by Skimersan of Far Far Hill and is used with her kind permission, and the beautiful lace is by Becky of Marbled Circle. Thank you, ladies!
“I, Jehovah, am your God, the One teaching you to benefit yourself, the One causing you to tread in the way in which you should walk.
O if only you would actually pay attention to my commandments!
Then your peace would become just like a river and your righteousness like the waves of the sea.”
Isaiah 48:17,18
Once again, a 5×7″ Printable Card and Picture. This is a lovely size for an important message or occasion.
If you are printing a picture, read the instructions on the post “God’s Name” Oct 12 before you start for important accuracy guidelines.
“All Scripture is inspired of God and beneficial for teaching, for reproving, for setting things straight, for disciplining in righteousness,
that the man of God may be fully competent, completely equipped for every good work.”
2 Timothy 3:16, 17

“Draw close to God and he will draw close to you.”
James 4:8
By learning about God through the pages of the Bible, you can come to know him as a person. The more you learn about him, the more real he will become to you and the more reason you will have to love him and feel close to him.
This is a 5×7″ Printable Card, but since 5×7″ is also a popular framing size, you can also adapt the design to print out as a picture. I have printed it many times as both and it prints beautifully on good quality, smooth-textured 300gsm card. For a picture, I prefer to use good quality, thick photo paper.
There is a canvas texture in the design which comes out beautifully in print on the right paper. If you click on the “Spacing” image above, you will see this a bit better.
Please see the previous entry, “God’s Name”, for specific advice before printing this size. For the card, I recommend centering the design on A4 or Letter card and adding a stroke on the outside to facilitate cutting.
See the entry Here on Juno’s Place for a tutorial on how to add a stroke…however, for creating a cutting border, you don’t need to add the stroke on its own separate layer so you can simplify the tut for your own purposes. If the process still leaves you mystified, leave me a comment and I’ll try to help!
“You, whose name is Jehovah, you alone are the Most High over all the earth.”
Psalm 83:18
God has a name! And he tells us his name over 7,000 times in the Bible. When you are getting to know someone, the first thing you usually learn about them is their name. How would you feel if you told someone your name over and over but they never used it, calling you by some title instead? Would you feel that person wanted to know you and get close to you? The creator of the universe wants you to know his name and to use it. He is using the Bible to introduce himself to you.
In your copy of the Bible, if it has “LORD” instead of “Jehovah” at Psalm 83:18, look for a footnote or an appendix that explains why God’s personal name has been replaced by a title that does not appear in this verse in the original Bible manuscripts. See what you think of the reason…
The spacing above shows this design at 5×7″, but recently I bought some card blanks in this size – or the metric equivalent of it, which is 128×178mm, so I have adjusted the size of the card below (in a slightly different design) to accommodate this. Printing on pre-scored card blanks is a great convenience because it saves on scoring and cutting time and ensures size accuracy. A design like this needs to be printed on a borderless setting if you are using card blanks.
This is also a popular picture size, (see picture on the easel above) but again, the metric equivalent is a little different. I like to use the “frameless” clip frames for my printed pictures and the ones I buy locally have 5×7″ /13×18cm printed on the label. The frames, however, are 13×18cm in size. If you print at 5×7″, you will end up with a picture that is too small for your frame. Yes, I learned that the hard way! So measure your frames to ensure that you are printing at the correct size where the label has both imperial and metric measurements. Both the card and the picture are included in the download.
“Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time;
while you throw all your anxiety upon him, because he cares for you.”

5×7in Card
(Use previous 5×7 in cards as Templates for printing in A4 or Letter)
I was playing around with a kit I designed back in June, “Vanilla L’Orange”, and ended up with a new 5×7in Scripture Card.
The kit itself is still available as a freebie on Juno’s Place. (link is in the sidebar)
“Be courageous and strong, for Jehovah your God is with you wherever you go.”
Joshua 1:9
This is a square card, 5×5in which will fit easily on both A4 and Letter so both are included in the file.

“When under trial, let no one say: ” I am being tried by God.”
For with evil things God cannot be tried nor does he himself try anyone.”
James 1:13
(God is never the source of the wickedness you see in the world around you. Granted, he does allow bad things to happen.
But there is a big difference between allowing something to happen and causing it.)
This card is designed in A5 (A6 folded) size. Because the scripture is quite long, the other half of it is on the inside, as a decorated inner. You can print this directly on the inside of the card or, if you prefer, print it separately as an insert. Use good quality paper and cut the inner slightly smaller than your outer card. Adhere with glue stick, which allows a little repositioning so you can get a perfectly centered end-product. I test printed this design both on cream and on white card. The cream is softer, the white more striking. I think I will also try this printed on an A6 white card and matted onto a deep pink card blank.

“There will come to be plenty of grain on the earth”
Psalm 72:16
This design lends itself well to a square card. 5.5 in square is the largest standard size that can be printed on A4 or Letter paper/card, the length being 11in. The metric equivalent is 140×140mm and card blanks and matching envelopes are available here in Europe for this size, too.
In the display, the card is shown printed on white. When I went to test print it myself, I discovered that I was out of white so I printed it out on cream card with a parchment texture, and this may be an even better idea! I will post a photo of this soon…
