Oh, Baby! with IBS

Hello Stamping Friends!

Happy Friday!

I'm on the Inspired By Stamping Blog today, with a baby set!

I know a bunch of people who are expecting, so I thought I would take the opportunity to use the lovely Oh, Baby! set to create a card and tag for a baby shower I will be attending this weekend.

I just love the matching tag and card!

Perfect to add to the present!

A closer look at the card:

And then the tag:

I have to admit, that this is the first time that I have ever created a matching card and tag for a gift!  Crazy, right?  Usually they don't always match!

I loved being about to create my cut out Miss Kate Cuttable .svg's into stickers using the 3" Sticker Maker!!

Made putting the cake together so easy!

Plus the sticker maker is so stylish!!

For some of the pieces I used the Xyron Glue Stick, which I really like!

The fun birthday cake is the Birthday Cake - Girl .svg file!

I used the New Arrival - Girl for the large Circle Scallop!

I used the 1/4" Double Sided Tape to put all the paper layers together!

I created the fun Birthday sentiment using the Inspired By Stamping set It's Your Birthday!

When It Rains on Your Parade...with GI

Happy Monday Stamping Friends!

It's my day to post on the Great Impression Stamps Blog!

I have a super fun card to share with you today using some of Great Impressions new stamps!!


For some reason, my little girl has always been obsessed with "flingos"!
So I obviously had to get the new Flamingos with Cute Boots (F573)!!

In the process of creating this card, my little girl was in my craft room creating away as well!  When she seen that I was working with this stamp, I had to stop what I was doing as she wanted me to stamp this image for her as well! :)


I also used the fun Really Cute Boots (E827) sentiment! I put a portion of the sentiment on the front of the card.

And the rest inside:

So fun!!

Here's a look at all the new stamps:

Birthday with IBS

Yay for the weekend!

It's Saturday!

We have a fun filled day here!

Please keep your fingers crossed for our family!

We are putting in an offer on some land to eventually build our future house on!

I don't want to get my hopes up, but we are excited about it and hope it works out!

Anyway, sorry, as some of you may know I have had a lot of health issues the last 7 months! :(  *Knock on Wood* I have started to finally get some of my pep and excitement for life back!  Still not 100%, but so much better then what it was! So praying my health continues to get better!

Sorry for all that, just a little update on what is going on in my life as some have been wondering!  

So are you ready for my card for today?!

I hope so!

I am still so in love with Inspired By Stamping's last release!

The bird from the Spring Lilacs set has been "singing" my name!

My grandma loves birds!

So I thought I would create this Birthday card for her:

I really like how this card turned out!

The fun color scheme I used, right down to the layout!

Close-up of the bird:

What a great bird image!

My grandma is going to love it!

That's all from me today!

Hope you have a lovely day!!

Heartfelt Thanks with Red Rubber Designs

Hello Stamping Friends!

This week's Inspirational on the Red Rubber Designs Blog is hosted by Mary Anne!

Inspirational #109 Heartfelt Thanks
What a wonderful inspirational!  I believe it is so important to thank those lovely people in our lives!  Even if it is the smallest thing they do!

Recently I had a lovely crafty friend send me a stamp set for no reason, just because she knew I liked it!  She was selling some of her stamps and wanted that particular set to go to a good home!  I had commented I liked it, but knew my husband would probably think I am crazy buying more stamps!  Little did I know, a few days later I found it in my mail box!  What a wonderful surprise!  Thanks so much Iva!!  I really appreciate it!

So I created this heartfelt thank you card with her in mind and sent it to her:

I started off by choosing my colors!

I have really liked black and turquoise lately!

I love the Fabulous Frames set!
I found that the particular frame I used from the set works perfectly with the Spellbinders Labels 4 Dies!!

 The lovely swirls are from the Fancy Curls set!  Another lovely set!!

The Thank You sentiment is from the Savvy Sayings set!

Be sure to join in, we'd love to see what you create!!

Have a lovely Thursday!!
