Many HAPPY Birthday Wishes with IBS

Happy Wednesday Sweet Stamping Friends!

The last day of April, already, really?!

 I have a Birthday card to share with you today!

 Makes for a great Masculine Birthday card!

For all the tiny "Happy's" I used these sets: It's Your Birthday, Masculine Tags II and Flower of the Month: Sweet Pea.

The fun little stars are also from the It's Your Birthday set!

The large "Happy" is from the Happy Sentiments set and the "Happy Birthday to you!" is from the Big Wishes II set!

I embossed a few of the stars and "happy" with white embossing powder.

So many lovely IBS stamps in one card!!

Be sure to check out the Inspired By Stamping store for all their lovely products!!

Have a lovely day!

Color Me Happy with GI

Happy Monday Stamping Friends!

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

I am so SUPER excited to share my project with you today!!

It was my little sister's birthday recently and she LOVES nail polish!

So when I seen the new Color Me Happy (C464) sentiment stamp I knew I had to create some kind of fun project for her!

This is what I came up with:

Isn't it fun?!
She loves painting her nails along with painting my little girl's nails, so she'll love this!

I just LOVE how it turned out!
I got the cut file from My Scrap Chick.  There are 3 nail polish bottles in the set!

I also used the Flower Bouquet (J110) stamp to add the pretty floral design to the nail polish bottle!

And this it what the inside contains:

How awesome!!

I actually was able to fit two nail polish bottles inside this package!!

I have a fun Easter Package to share with you today!
I know Easter was last weekend, but I wanted to share this fun package with you!

My sister LOVES peeps!

So I thought instead of just giving her a package of peeps for Easter, it would be more fun to create wrapper to go around the peeps, to dress it up a little and make the package a lot more fun and personable!


The sentiment is part of the Bunny Peeps set from SweetStamps.com, which I stamped the on a Nested Bracket cut.

I love the "Peep" cut file which is part of the Easter Candy set.

I love the three cut out peeps!!
How fun!!

A look at the packaging as you pull out the peeps:

Love the bright/springy colors!!

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

I am so excited to share my project with you!
I decided to create a beautiful purse gift, not sure what I am going to put inside yet, but I think it turned out so pretty!!

I started off by using some Vintage Floral Paper from IBS!

What a beautiful paper pad!

I used a polka dot piece and a pretty floral piece!

I used the Fancy Label Dies 1 along with one of the beautiful frames from the Just Because set.

The Mother's Day sentiment is from the All Year Wishes II set.

Behind the flowers, I used the new Whispers - Bubbles Background from Die Versions!

Instead of using the entire background, I thought it would just be fun to use portions of it!

I think it is a nice added touch behind the flowers!!

For the top of the purse I used Die Versions new Express Banners - Love You.

I decided to just use the "Love" portion of the die.

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

Your next stop on the hop is Marzena's Blog and if you ever get lost in the hop you can always go to Die Versions Blog for the complete order list.

Altered Trim with IBS

Happy Wednesday Inspired By Stamping Friends!!

It's Whoo Hoo Wednesday!!

It's my turn to share a tutorial on the Inspired By Stamping Blog!
This time I decided to alter some of my favorite trim from Inspired By Stamping!

You can check out the tutorial here.

I love the White Fabric Tape from IBS!

I changed it to a shimmery brown to add to this card:

My parents are big into hunting, so I thought this would be a perfect Anniversary card for them.

I used two sizes of the Fancy Labels Die 1.  

One for a background frame and then the smaller one to stamp the image, which is part of the Masculine Tags II set!

Such a perfect image for any wildlife lovers!

The sentiment is part of the lovely All Years Wishes II set.

Close-up of the trim:

Fun!!

Thanks for stopping by!

Have a wonderful day!

I really enjoyed coloring this image!

Here's the tin I created for my Mom for Mother's Day:

I just love how it turned out!

Monthly Technique Challenge: Embossing

Sympathy cards are by far my least favorite to create.

Recently a special friend of mine lost her godfather, so she asked that I create her a special card to give his family.

This is what I came up with:

With our Monthly Technique Challenge, Embossing, in mind I decided to do both dry and heat embossing.

If you didn't know, SweetStamps.com is now Home of Globecraft & Piccolo (formerly Globecraft Memories / Piccolo Decor)!  For this card I used some of the awesome bookboard accent crosses!  Love them!  Perfect for sympathy cards, confirmation, etc. cards/projects!!
