For You with The Stamps of Life

Hello Crafty Friends!!

I have a fun card to share with you today using some awesome products from The Stamps of Life!!

Have you seen the new Sizzix Rectangle/Gift Card Flip-its from The Stamps of Life?!?!

 

I love it!!  

I love being able to create my own gift card holders, to make them different, then just the ordinary ones you get from the store!  Well TSOL sure made that easy with this die set!!

Here is my finished, closed card:

Are the colors all so bright and fun? I just love all the ink colors from TSOL!!  You can find them all here!

The pretty stamped swirls on the patterned paper are from the swirls2build stamp set!

A look inside when you open the card!

 Check out the Hobby Lobby gift card!  How cool is that?!
So fun!

The Happy Birthday sentiment is from the candles4birthday stamp set!

I used the dies in the set to create this flower shaker on the front:

And then added the bow!  Such a sweet added touch!

And lastly a close-up of the cute little ladybug!

The fun papers I used are from the Wishes and Hooray Paper Collections!!
Two of my absolute favorites!!

Layered Flower with Honey Bee Stamps

Hello Stamping Friends!

It's my day once again to post on the Honey Bee Stamps Blog!!

I just LOVE their stamps!!  I can't get enough of them!

For my card today I wanted to play around with the pretty flower from the Cherish stamp set!!

So I started by gathering my supplies:

As you can see I stamped the flower outline once on pattern paper shown above.

I stamped the flower a few times on two different papers and then fussy cut them out...

As you can see I did alter the flower a little, but fussy cutting it down in size!  One flower, but so many different combinations you could create!

Here's a close-up look of the original flower and one of the smaller ones put together:

So pretty!  I love the layered look!!

My finished card, I just love how it turned out!!

Isn't it gorgeous?!

Here is a look at my finished flowers:

Just look at that sparkle!  LOVE it!  

On a recent shopping trip with the kids, hubby was gone hunting for a week in Canada, so the kids and I always find some kind of fun art project to do while he is gone.  So went visited Hobby Lobby and found a bunch of fun things!  Well while looking around I was so excited to find some Mod Podge that has Sparkle in it!  Had to have it!!  Thought it would be perfect for these flowers!!

The beautiful "hello" sentiment is part of the Life Right Now stamp set!  And as I mentioned before, I just love that all of Honey Bee Stamps stamp sets work great together, as I paired up the "hello" with the "friend" friend from the Cherish set!  Created my own sentiment!

The directional arrows pointing to the friend sentiment are part of the No Place Like Home stamp set!

I also added a swirl to each of the top corners of my card, which is from the Thanks stamp set!!

Super fun card, with so much love put into it!!

Happy Stamping!!

Birthday Bubble Wrap Fun

Good Morning Stamping Friends!!

I am on the Inspired By Stamping Blog today!!

I hope you don't mind, but again this week I wanted to share the bubble wrap technique with all the IBS fans!!

My supplies:

Start by inking the bubble wrap as if it were a stamp!!

In my case, I decided to use 4 ink colors, but you can use as many as you wish!

Time to stamp your bubble wrap on your cardstock piece!

I just love the look of this!!

You ready?!?!

Here it is:

How FUN!!

My finished card:

I decided to create a masculine birthday card.

I used the super fun Happy Sentiments stamp set for the sentiment. 

I really like the large "Happy" in the set along with all the other little sentiments, in my case I used the "birthday"!

 The fun stamped star is part of the Teeny Tiny Greetings stamp set!!

What a fun technique!!  Give it a try!!

Cherish These Moments with HBS

Hello Stamping Friends!

It's my day once again to post on the Honey Bee Stamps Blog!!

It has been such a crazy last few weeks on my end with moving!!
So glad the move is over, but now it is time to organize!!

But first a little crafty time!! ;)

Obviously with all the moving I have a ton of bubble wrap lying around!

So I decided to have some fun with it!

Grab your supplies....

My stamp set of choice for this project, is the lovely new Cherish stamp set!!

As well as a card base, ink and the bubble wrap!

Cut the bubble wrap to your desired size.

Then ink it up as if it were a stamp!!

Time to stamp!!

 I personally love the fun design it give....Keep reading to see my finished design and a close-up!

I altered the word "cherish"...

as seen above, the "i" has just a dot above it and I thought it would be fun to add the cute little heart in the set above instead!

Here's a look at the complete project life card...

I love it!

The beautiful flowers in the top left corner are also from the Cherish set!!

I used some sequins and gems with he pretty stamped bubble wrap design!

And lastly a close-up of the cherish sentiment with the heart above the "i"!!!

I love how it turned out!
