IBS Beautiful Day


I have a beautiful card to share with you using some more of Inspired By Stamping's lovely stamps!! 

With the photo in mind, I created this fun card that can be used for an everyday card or possibly for a Mother's Day card!
The beautiful sentiment is from the Big Notes II set!  I used the Delicate Doilies II set to create the bottom piece of paper.  I just love the doilies in this set!  They're perfect for creating your own papers!

Be sure to check out the Inspired By Stamping Blog to see all kinds of other wonderful inspiration!


Have a wonderful day!!

3GJ + IBS Latte Flower

Hello everyone!

Today is my first day posting on the 3 Girl Jam Blog

As you know I love their Crinkle Ribbon!!  And have been so excited to join their team!

For my project today I used the newly released Latte Crinkle Ribbon!
Which is part of the Coffee Bundle!
I used some lovely new stamps from Inspired By Stamping to create this card!  The stamped background is from the set Background Basics III!

I thought the "Just a Note" sentiment from the set Mason Jar Add On II set was a perfect fit for this card!

I used the Latte to create this beautiful flower:
I LOVE how it turned out!!

I'm sure I will be making more of these!

Check out all the lovely 3 Girl Jam Crinkle Ribbon here!

Have a wonderful day!

IBS Backgrounds and French Notes


Good morning!! 

I have some more lovely "eye candy" to share with you today using some of Inspired By Stamping's May release stamps!!

I have really enjoyed working with this month's release!

--------------------------------

Today we are showcasing projects using the new Basic Backgrounds III and French Notes!

Like the background stamps we showcased yesterday, this set is also amazing!

I decided to create a layout using some beautiful pictures of my little girl!
The chevron black and white strips are from the new Background Basics II set!

Check out the fun "Oh la la" sentiment from the new French Notes stamp set!
I thought the sentiment was perfect with these pictures!

I love the new die that will be releasing as well!!  
Fancy Label Die 2
I also used one of the new frames, from the set Fancy Labels 2!
(LOVE! LOVE! LOVE!)

My favorite background stamp from the Background Basics III is the polka dot one!! Love it!
(Although the other two backgrounds are AMAZING as well!!)
I thought it would be fun to add gems on some of the polka dots!

I also used the Delicate Doilies II set to create this fun flower:
And to also just create some nice elements in the top right corner!

What a fun layout!

Creating Washi Tape



It's time for me to create another Whoo Hoo Wednesday tutorial for Inspired By Stamping!!

Whoo Hoo!!

I am so excited to share my post with you today!

I've decided to create my own 
Shimmery Washi Tape!!


You can see my tutorial on the Inspired By Stamping Blog!!

I love Inspired By Stamping's new Washi Tape stamp set, but thought it would fun to use some of IBS's background stamps to create some other patterns.  
The lovely circle frame is from the set Fancy Circles and the sentiment is from Graceful Hydrangea!


Close-up:
The stamps I used for my washi tape are Delicate Doilies II, Background Basics I and Mason Jar Add On III.

I used CI Paint FuchsiaPlum and Tutu Pink.

For the bottom two pieces I embossed the stamped images with white embossing powder!

How fun, you can create your own washi tape to go with any project!!

The possibilities are endless!!
