IBS Doily Flower

I needed to create another Sympathy card, so I decided to use some of my lovely Inspired By Stamping stamps!!

For my sympathy card today I used the Big Notes III set, along with the beautiful Delicate Doilies II!

I just LOVE the Delicate Doilies II set! There are 5 different beautiful doilies in this set!  Along with 4 different border accents! 

Such a fun set!

3GJ + IBS Sweet Birthday Card

Good morning!

I have a fun birthday card to share with you today!!

It's my day to post on the 3 Girl JAM Blog and I decided to use my favorite Crinkle Ribbon color....
Witch's Brew!!

Which is part of the Spooky Bundle.

I have used so much of this beautiful purple crinkle ribbon over the last few months!

I used my new Inspired By Stamping set Fancy Labels 2 and Fancy Label Die 2 and then used the beautiful Witch's Brew crinkle ribbon to create a frame around the die.

I love how it looks!

I love the purple and turquoise colors used for this card! 

I also decided to create a double bow with the Witch's Brew ribbon, along with adding a button and some twine. 

The sentiment is from the Inspired By Stamping set Graceful Hydrangea!

How fun!!

Have a wonderful day!!

Twins

 Recently, a friend of mine had twins!

They are so adorable!

She had a boy and a girl!  How exciting!

This was the fun and simple card I created for her:

I used the fun Oh, Baby! set from Inspired By Stamping!

I've never did a card using the clothesline look, so that is what I decided to do for this card!

Being that she had twins, I had to do a little masking with the sentiments!  I first stamped the "bundle"  then used the "s" from "cute as a button" at the end and lastly stamped the "of joy"!  

What a great extended use of the stamp set!

A look at the entire Oh, Baby! set:

Have a wonderful day!

Lifesaver Pillow Box Package

Hello Crafty Friends!!

Recently, I joined the Joy's Life Design Team!

I love her sentiment stamps!! So fun!

This week we are focusing on "Projects Using Dimension"!

I decided to create a 3D Project using a Clear Pillow Box!

I added some lifesaver candies inside the package!! :)

I thought this was such a fun idea!

I simply used two circles on my Cricut to create the "lifesaver" shape.  I then slightly bent and stamped the "You're a lifesaver" sentiment, from the That Tastes Punny set, with VersaMark Ink and embossed with clear embossing powder....to give it that lifesaver candy look!

A simple, yet fun package!!

Check out all of Joy's fun stamps here!

Have a wonderful day!!

You are my Sunshine

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!

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!
