Inspired By Stamping Inspiration Challenge #44

For this week's challenge, I decided to create something sweet and quick with the colors from the inspirational photo!

Ready for the yummy goods I made? 

I took all the calories out for all of you! *wink*

The kids and I had so much fun baking cupcakes!

The fun stamped circles are from the new Cute Circles set!! As well as all the sentiments, except for the Love You, which is from the new Just Because set!

Yummy!!

This week's inspirational photo is so beautiful:

I just love this photo!

Whoo Hoo Wed. with IBS

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

Whoo Hoo!!

With Valentine's Day around the corner, I've decided to create some adorable little Candy Kiss Packages!!

They're so fun and pretty simple to create!  I used the new Cute Circles and Hearts set for the package above.

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

 How to create theses packages:

1. Cut your main piece of cardstock 4 1/2" x 4 1/4". (If you don't plan to use an edger punch along the sides, you can cut the paper 4" x 4 1/4")

2. Trim each side with an edger punch.

3. If you'd like to add another piece of paper, cut that at 3" x 4 1/4" and adhere to your main side.

4.  Then score at 3/4", 1 3/4" and 3".

5. Add your KISSES!! :) I put a little glue dot on the bottom of each to adhere them.

6. Add adhesive as shown..

7. Close up your package!

8. Decorate to your desire!!

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

Here's a look at a few more close-up:

For the first three here I used the Hearts set from IBS.

If you've purchased stamps from IBS, have you had a chance to use the cut files if you have a die cutting machine?  Joanna has been so nice to offer free cutting files for almost all of her stamps!  I just love it!

I used some lovely Cream Crochet Lace on this package!

I added some beautiful Red Satin Ribbon to this package!

Lastly, I created this packaging using the Delicate Doilies II, Just Because and Cute Circles sets.

I hope you've enjoyed learning how to create these cute little packages!  I sure enjoyed creating them!

Hope you have a great day!

Priceless!!

IBSIC #43

Inspired By Stamping Inspiration Challenge #43

I am so excited to share my card with you today, I just love how it turned out!!

Recently, I became an Auntie!!

So I was inspired by this week's photo to create a baby card, here is what I came up with:

I decided to go with a shaped card and thought I would try the work "BABY"! 

Such a fun design!!

I used the Inspired By Stamping set Oh, Baby!

I thought it would be fun to add pink rhinestones in the center of the stamped flowers from the set!

I'm sure I will be making more like this!!

This week's Inspirational Photo:

Just love these lovely colors, makes me think of spring!

Happy Monday!  

Hope you had a wonderful weekend!

I was down with a horrible flu/cold this week, how miserable, it sure took a toll on me!  I am finally almost feeling myself again!

Our current challenge at Creative Inspirations is Inspired By: Your Favorite Stamp, wow, kind of hard to pick a favorite stamp, at least for me!

It tends to change very often, as there are so many wonderful stamps to choose from!  

So I decided to just think about Valentine's Day, since it is right around the corner.  I love a nice elegant "Love" stamp to create beautiful CAS cards with.

CAS, yet has so much love and meaning put into the card!

Plus added with some lovely shimmery and glitter of course!  

I used some Rustic Red on the large heart and Tutu Pink of the smaller one.  For the inside of the large heart I used some lovely Resplendence Angel Dust Glitter!

To create the center, I traced the outside of the large heart and then cut it out slightly smaller.

I then ran it through my Xyron and added the glitter!  And then adhered to the back side of the heart and then to the card!

Super easy and fun!

Have a great day!
