Hello Stamping Friends!

 Great Impression Stamps is sponsoring the current challenge at AUD Sentiments!

The challenge:
Use a Spring or Easter Sentiment

---------

With the challenge in mind, I decided to create a cute Easter card!!

I really like this card design!

Isn't the E783 Bunny Front adorable!

I love the bunny paired up with the C343 Some Bunny Loves You sentiment!

I also stamped two little hearts by the sentiment, which are part of the A54 Hearts & Dots stamp.

Aren't the die cuts I used fun?!  I fell in love with them on one of my last Hobby Lobby shopping trips!! ;)

Masculine 3D Project with IBS

Good Morning Stamping Friends!!

I am on the Inspired By Stamping Blog today, we are featuring Masculine 3D Projects today!

Those males in our life, tend to me a little hard to create for at times, but I am super happy with how my project turned out!!

Check it out:

Super fun!!

For my main image, I used one of the birds from the new Australian Birds set!!

The birds are perfect for masculine projects!  And stamped in a colored ink, I think is perfect!

On each end, I stamped the "Happy Birthday" from the Masculine Tags set!

And lastly, I have a view as you open the package:

Perfect package, to add some money in for that special guy!

I just love this die I used to create this box!!

My Heart with GI

Happy Thursday Stamping Friends!

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

This week we are featuring Fancy Card Folds!
I decided to create a Center Step Card!

I used the beautiful new E859 Forever Yours sentiment.
Not only perfect for Valentine's Day, but perfect for Anniversary cards as well!

My hubby and I just celebrated our 8th Anniversary earlier this week.

I stamped the fun H172 Swirls of Hearts on pink polka dot patterned paper, for each of the side "steps".

I thought the added key, was the perfect touch!

Inside the card I used the beautiful E42 Happy Anniversary sentiment and the E826 Dotted Heart!

A beautiful card, with so much meaning in it!

This week's Sweet Stamps Challenge is:
Happy Birthday

Can NEVER have enough birthday cards stashed away!!

I used one of the stamps in the set called Decorative Elements to create my backgrounds piece of paper!  There are 7 different elements in this set!

 I just love this stamp!!

I then stamped Happy Birthday Script.

Once in awhile I get stuck for a design, so this design was actually inspired by a card I seen on Pinterest!  

After seeing the card, I was also inspired to use my Open Hearts Medallion for the main image. I stamped the image with Memento Black ink and then using the Black Spot Distress Marker to fill in a few of the openings.  

I really like how it turned out!

Have a wonderful day!

So Sentimental with Red Rubber Designs

Good Morning Stamping Friends!

This week's Inspirational at Red Rubber Designs is:

So Sentimental

Stamp any kind of sentiment!

So with Valentine's Day a few days away, as well as mine and my hubby's 8 year Anniversary (and 14 years together! WOW! How time flies!), I thought it to be very fitting to use a "love" sentiment!

The beautiful "love" sentiment is part of the Mini Script Rubber Stamp set!

The heart is part of the I Heart You Rubber Stamp set!

Simple, yet so meaningful!

This week's Sweet Stamps Challenge is:

Pink, White and One Other Color

A nice challenge, with Valentine's Day being a few days away!
Gave me a chance to create another candy package to give someone special!

Here is the fun package I created:

I altered a tin, by adding some patterned paper around the sides.

But I decided to alter the patterned paper with the fun Heart Bitty Background stamp to add a little more interest. I think it adds a nice touch.

On the top I added a die cut tag with the stamped Be Mine sentiment.

I love the Fancy Leaf SweetCuts Die!  Which was added behind the flowers!

Inside are some conversation hearts!!
