CAS Birthday

Hello Stamping Friends!


I have a a super fun birthday card to share with you using fun dies from Frantic Stamper!!

I first created my own background, by stamping the Jumbled Numbers 6x6 background stamp with VersaMark Ink onto a piece of white cardstock.  I then heat embossed it with white embossing powder!  I used distress inks to add color to the cardstock.

I finished by adding a strip of white cardstock and die cutting the fun Jumbo Mixed Font Happy Birthday for my sentiment.  I absolutely love the mixed fonts!!  So fun!!

I think this makes for a nice masculine card!!

Happy Holidays

Hello Stamping Friends!

Can you believe tomorrow is the last day of the month!  Yikes!

I just couldn't let the end of July go by and not create a Christmas card!  With the recent release from Inspired By Stamping I really fell in love with the Happy stamp set!

Check out the entire set:

So many uses, in this one set!!  So awesome!!

I was so excited to use this stamp set to create an elegant holiday card:

I started by finding a piece of pattern paper that I wanted to use.

I then created my sentiment stripe, I stamped the 'happy' in green ink and then stamped the 'holidays' in red.  I added some twine around the left end a few times and adhered it to the pattern layer.

I finished off the card by adding the sparkly flower, with a button and twine in the center.  I also added some rhinestones to the top right corner.

I just love elegant Christmas cards!

Have a lovely day!

Fishy Shaker

Hello Stamping Friends!


I have a masculine shaker card to share with you using fun new dies from Frantic Stamper!!

I used dies from the recent Under the Sea Fantasy to create this CAS masculine Birthday card:

I started by using the Underwater Sea Oval die to create my shaker window.  I then also used the Shipwreck die to add the sunken boat into my scene!  Isn't it fun?!  I sure think so.

Be a Mermaid

Hello Stamping Friends!


I have a cute layout to share with you using fun new dies from Frantic Stamper!!

Have you had a chance to see the new Under The Sea Fantasy Release?
So many fun new dies and stamps!!

I decided to use some of the new products to create a sweet layout for my daughter's album!!

I had an adorable photo of my daughter on our beach late last summer, where I buried her legs and made it look as if she was a mermaid!

This release was a perfect chance to create this layout: 

 I started by stamping the Bubbles Background Stamp on my background, so that it would be behind my photo!  I think it adds a nice touch!

I die cut the Seahorse Edger Facing Left with some fun glittery paper!!

I used the Deckled Rectangles to die cut a rectangle to stamp the 'be a mermaid and make waves!" sentiment from the Under the Sea Mermaid stamp set!

I also die cut the fun Swimming Mermaid to add by the sentiment!

What a fun layout!!

There are 3 new stamp sets and 2 new coordinating die cuts in the store, be sure to check them out!! You can visit us by clicking here!

I am so excited to share with you this next card!

 I had so much fun creating it!!

I stamped the 'happy' sentiment from the new Happy Stamp Set multiple times on a piece of white cardstock, each time in another color ink.  Somewhat to resemble the rainbow!!

I then took some of my mists to splatter ink on the piece of cardstock!  I really like how it turned out!!  Make a mess, but was well worth it!!

I also stamped the 'birthday' sentiment from the set on a banner to add!

-----

Next up I used the 'you are my' sentiment from the Happy Stamp Set to create a banner for this super cute little project life page I created for my daughter's album!!

I then die cut the Happy Die from a piece of black paper to add to the bottom right of the layout!

Such a sweet photo of myself and my mini-me!!

I just love how these new stamp sets and dies are perfect to use for project life and/or scrapbook pages!!

This week Inspired by Stamping is releasing 3 new stamp sets and 2 new coordinating die cuts to their store. All new products are already available in the store! You can visit us by clicking here!

----------

Today we are featuring the gorgeous new Summer Bouquet stamp set!!

I just LOVE IBS's floral stamp sets, each one of them is so amazing!!

I decided to use the floral image to make my own piece of background paper for this anniversary card I created for my parents:

I stamped it with VersaMark ink, so that I could then heat emboss with a beautiful Pearl Embossing Powder!! 

I just love how it turned out!!  Such an elegant card!! 

I also stamped the 'Anniversary' sentiment from the Happy Stamp Set, which we will be showcasing tomorrow!!  Along with the fun coordinating Happy Die, which I die cut using a piece of teal paper!

-----

Next up I used the floral stamp on the right side of my card using some purple ink:

I tend to always feel as though I need to color all my images in, but you can really create some pretty elegant cards by using colored ink and leaving them as is!!

I stamped the sweet 'Sending hugs & happy thoughts' sentiment from the Summer Bouquet stamp set as well!

IBS Release Smile

Hello Stamping Friends!

Welcome to Day 1 of Inspired by Stamping’s July 2017 Release!
We are so happy you are here!!

This week Inspired by Stamping is releasing 3 new stamp sets and 2 new coordinating die cuts to their store. All new products are already available in the store! You can visit us by clicking here!

----------

I am absolutely in LOVE with the new Smile stamp set and coordinating die that is being showcased today!!

First up I created an elegant card with the stamp set:

I love how you can use the stamp set to create so many different sentiments!!!  I decided to go with the 'You make me' along with the 'smile'!

-----

I also used the stamp set to create a project life page for each of my kids albums!!

I've had these adorable photos in my pile for awhile and haven't been able to find the right time to use them until now!!  When I received the Smile stamp set I instantly thought of these sweet photos my sister took of my kids!!

So I created a title banner for each of the pages!  I stamped the 'I love your' from the stamp set and used the matching Smile Die to die cut the 'smile'!!

I really like how it turned out!!

The project life page for my son's album:

I again kind of went with the same style, but with his die smile I decided to replace the dot above the 'i' with an enamel heart!!

I also used the Smile stamp set to stamp the 'Your smile lights up my world' sentiment on a project life card I created. 

How fun!!

So many uses in one stamp set, I love it!!

Hello Stamping Friends!

It's DT Dare day at Your Next Stamp!!

DT Dare is....
It's A Guy Thing

With us having the 'It's a Girl Thing' theme during YNS's preview day this weekend, we thought it would be very fitting to have 'It's a Guy Thing" for our DT Dare this month!!  Can't leave out the wonderful males we have in our lives!!

It's always nice to have a few extra masculine cards on hand!!

I decided to use the adorable Golf Dog Zach stamp set for my card today!!

Along with the cute 'May the COURSE be with you!' sentiment from the set!!

My son got a cute giggle from this card as we were making it together!!

I can't get enough of the new Summer Plaid 6x6!!  Every single sheet in this paper pad is amazing!!  I absolutely LOVE it!!

I finished off the card by adding some blue gumdrops from the new Fairy Magic Sparkly Gumdrops set!

Now I personally am NOT a snake fan!  I absolutely do not like them!!  But my son really liked this stamp set, so I decided to get it to make some cards for him!  But it's grown on me as the image is absolutely adorable!! Thankfully it isn't real!  I can handle this cutie, but it hasn't changed my mind on the real ones!! Lol.

I broke up the fun "You're the Bessssst!" sentiment, by stamping the 'You're the' in Black Olive Ink and 'Bessssst!' in Olive Green Ink!  I really like how fun it looks!

I used a piece of plaid paper from the awesome new Summer Plaid 6x6 Paper Pad!  This is a MUST have pad, each piece of plaid is amazing!!  I love it!!

I finished off the card by adding some Gumdrops!!

Here is a look at the entire Monty stamp set:

YNS Challenge #68

Hello Stamping Friends!

Time for a new challenge at Your Next Stamp!!

Click here to find the current challenge!

There is a fun sketch and colors to find inspiration from!!

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

I found some inspiration in some of the colors and followed the sketch to create a project life card for my daughter's album!!  Decided it would be fun to switch things up a little and get a project life page created with this challenge!!

I started by grabbing a fun piece of striped paper, I then stamped the Flower Ink Splatter in the bottom left corner with Cherry Blossom Ink!

I then created two banners in which I die cut the sentiment "Girls Night" using the Bold Aplpha Die Set, I absolutely love this die set!!  I used the Cool Tag Two Patterns Die Set to die cut the little heart, which I used for the apostrophe in "Girl's"!!  What a clever idea, if I say so myself!! ;)

I then used the Flower Blossom Trio Die Set to add the trio of flowers on the project life card!!  I added a Gumdrop to each of the centers!

Here is a look at the entire page:

My daughter and her sweet friend share the same birthday month, so my friend and I took the girls on a fun girl's night for pedicures and supper!!

I also used the Cool Tag Two Patterns Die Set to die cut the banner below, to add the to photo:

In which I used the Heartfelt Sentiments stamp set to stamp the sweet sentiment!

Such a sweet page!!
