IBS Christmas

Hey Crafty Friends!!

It's Friday, Yay!!  I always love Friday's!

Plus it is almost the end of the month, so that means in a few more days we will be sharing some sneak peek's of Inspired By Stamping's October release!!!

Joanna has another lovely release!  LOVE the new stamps!

But I am also still hooked on this month's release!

I love the new Holiday Sentiments set!!

The one stamp in the set screams "tree" to me every time I see it!

So I thought I would create another simple and elegant Christmas card with it!

I added a white Poinsettia to add some class to this card!

I used the Washi Tape set to create the tree trunk! 

A look at the two sets I used:

Happy Fall Y'all

Happy Wednesday Crafty Friends!!

Today is my day to post on the Joy's Life DT Blog!

This week we are featuring Buttons, Burlap, Kraft Paper 
and Twine!

I created a fun and simple fall card!

I used the fun "Happy Fall Y'All sentiment from the It's All Fall Puns set!

 I thought it would be fun to add a pretty orange flower:

Clean and simple, but a perfect fall card to give someone for no reason!

A look at the entire It's All Fall Puns set:

Roses

I love the Cabbage Rose from SweetStamps.com!!

So I decided to create this beautiful card with this week's challenge in mind!

I love how this card turned out!! 

Roses happen to be one of my most favorite flowers!!  I love how although the season is coming to and end and soon in will be fall, my roses are still in full bloom!

Close-up of the rose:

Time to admit, yes after putting the entire card together and then as I was photographing it, I noticed I forgot to color the center of the image!  But I thought it still looked okay, so I left it!

That was a first!

I love the new Flourishes Clear Stamp set!!

I lightly stamped one of them on the pink polka dot paper, under the Fancy Leaf SweetCuts die!

I just LOVE how it turned out!  Too cute! And so fun!

Close-up of the sentiment:

On the star and buckle I used some of my shimmer paint to give them a little shimmer!!

IBS Graduate

Happy Friday Crafty Friends!

I have a fun card I created today using some lovely Inspired By Stamping sets!!

We had a late summer graduation party a few weeks back and I quickly created this fun card for the graduate:

I created the card base using my Cricut.  I cut out the large star from the card base and also cut out a small star to place in the center of the large one.

I used Background Basics Lines for the large star and Background Basics III for the smaller star!

The sentiment is from the Big Congrats set!  

What a fun mix and match set!!

A look at the sets used:

 

Be sure to check out the IBS Blog for all kinds of amazing inspiration!!

Have a wonderful day!!

Too Cute to Spook

Happy Wednesday Crafty Friends!!

Today is my day to post on the Joy's Life DT Blog!

This week we are featuring Scrapbooking Layouts!

I love taking pictures of my kids and creating scrapbook layouts of all the memories we share!

For my post today, I thought I would create a layout for my little girl's album using the Halloween Puns set!

With Halloween right around the corner, I thought it would be nice to create one of her Halloween pages ahead of time!! 

I had so much fun creating this layout, these cute little monsters work so well with the paper and sentiments!!

I first stamped the "Too cute to spook" as a border around where the picture will be placed!

My little girl is going as a "monster" this year!  We got a really cute bright pink and lime green monster costume on clearance last year that she fell in love with!!

This week's Sweet Stamps Challenge is:

Western

My card is not a new creation, but rather a look back at my designing with SweetStamps.com.

Unfortunately, I have been very sick, which has left me from designing in my craft room.  (sad face) But I am very happy to note that I am finally feeling better after 7 weeks~!  Just hope I don't have another Kidney Stone for a very long time, these 3 I had were very horrible!!

Anyway, here is the very first card I ever had published and to top it off it was using SweetStamps.com stamps!!

I created this card using Sweet Stamps "Horse Portrait Oval" (3003-i), "Howdy" (3013-b, which is part of a set of 3 sentiments) and "Two Horse Silhouette" (3002-b).

I love how it turned out!!

RB - Robot Birthday

Are you ready for an adorable birthday card for a little boy?

I recently rented the Robo Party from Raisin Boat!  

What a fun set!

I thought it would be fun to make it look like the robot was popping through the paper to wish a Happy Birthday!!

Here's a look at the entire set:

My little guy just loved this set, I think I inked up all the images for him to color, before sending it back!

Have a wonderful day!
