Halloween Goodies with IBS

Good Morning Stamping Friends!!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!

I am on the Inspired By Stamping Blog today sharing some yummy goodie packages!!

First up are some adorable witches hats that hold a Tootsie Roll Pops Sucker!

 Aren't they fun?!
I LOVE how they turned out!!

Here's a close-up of a few of them:

So super fun!

The kiddos just LOVE them as well!

All the fun sentiments are part of the Halloween Tags set, except for the "Halloween" sentiment, which is from the Halloween Labels set.

I used banner die from the Fancy Labels 3 Die set to create the tags for the witches hats:

I also really like the little swirl accent from the Halloween Tags, it was a perfect accent to add the the band on the witches hat!

Adds the perfect touch, in my opinion!

These were so super fun to create!

Halloween Plaque with GI

Happy Monday Stamping Friends!

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

This week is all about Halloween Decorations!

I decided to create a Halloween plaque:

I love how it turned out!  This is the first time I have ever created a plaque!

The kids love it as well, which is the best part!!

 A close-up:

 I used the G379 Spider Web along the top of the plaque on the black polka-dot paper.

I also used the F455 Happy Halloween for my main image!

Super fun!!

Good Morning Stamping Friends!!

Have you enjoyed the releases at Inspired By Stamping?!
What an amazing release, in my opinion!

One last set is being released today, Build A Stocking!

Check it out:

What a fun set, with so many wonderful possibilities!!! 

When I seen the Build A Stocking I knew I wanted to create a cute little stocking shaped card!

So I did just that with the help of the Build A Stocking Cut File!

Ready?!  I love how it turned out!!

Here it is:

So adorable!!

I love it!

All stamps used are from the Build A Stocking, except for the sentiment, which is from the Festive Frames set!

I added some glitter to the heart and sentiment!

Such a cute and fun card!

IBS Release Poinsettias

Good Morning Stamping Friends!!

I am SUPER excited!
As you may have seen Monday, it is release week at Inspired By Stamping!!
I always love releases from IBS!!

Today I am showcasing the new Poinsettias set!
Can you say....LOVE! LOVE! LOVE!!

What a beautiful set!

I am in love with this set!  I love poinsettias!

This set is both fun to color the image and fun to leave uncolored, as I did for my card today. 

Here's the card I created:

I decided to use the Poinsettias Cut File to cut out two poinsettias on vellum and then stamp the image and embossed with white embossing powder.

I just love the beautiful elegant look!

I then cut one of the images down, so that I could create the layered poinsettia look.  Gives it a little more depth and interest.

The Merry Christmas sentiment, is preview of a new set releasing tomorrow called Big Holidays!!

A closer look at the poinsettia:

So beautiful!!
