IBS March Release Honey Bee

Good Morning Stamping Friends!!

It's Release Day 2 at Inspired By Stamping!!!!

You're going to love the new HONEY BEE stamp set!
I sure do!

Such beautiful images and great sentiments!!!

I recently got into Project Life! Yes, I know a little behind in times, but I just kept telling myself I can't do it all and don't need to get into something else!

Well after going on a retreat a few weekends ago with some girlfriends and seeing what Project Life was all about, I was hooked!  I am once again in HIGH hopes that someday I will get caught up with the kids albums!! (If only I would stop taking so many pictures!!.....Never mind, that won't happen!!)

So I decided to use the new Honey Bee stamp set to create a layout for my daughter's album:

I absolutely love how it turned out!

My first one!!  Yay!

It was so much fun to use the stamp set to create my own cards!!

I used a mixture of the stamps to create this 6x4 card:

 The "bee-utiful" was computer generated!
The "you" is part of the Spring Bouquet stamp set.

I just love the cute little bee!

I also used the Octagons stamp set to create the yellow stamped octagons in the lower left and top right corners, thought it was a nice added touch!

Another card I created using two stamps from the Honey Bee stamp set!

The title here was again computer generated, but then I used the Honey Bee stamp set to add some images!

This set was so perfect for these pictures!!

Love You More with IBS

Happy Sunday Stamping Friends!!

I have created a fun card today using some Inspired By Stamping products!!

I am totally in love with this card I am sharing with you today!

I started by stamping the fun "you" from the new Spring Bouquet set.  LOVE the fun font!!

I then masked the "I Love You More" sentiment from the Big Wishes II stamp set, so that I would only be stamping the you! I love how the more fits so nicely with the you!!!

Looks as the are originally together!

I finished up by cutting the "love" from my Silhouette and adding the fun little heart which is part of the Pretty Planners set!

So fun!!

Vellum Cards with IBS

Good Morning Stamping Friends!!

I am on the Inspired By Stamping Blog today, we are featuring cards in which we stamped on vellum!

I am so excited to share my card with you, I love stamping on vellum and sometimes forgot to!  

But I was reminded how beautiful the technique is when creating this card!

I used the new Spring Bouquet stamp set! (LOVE it!!)

Not only do I love the beautiful floral image, I also love all the sentiments you can create from the set!  So fun!

The font used for the "you" is so beautiful!

I stamped the spring bouquet twice on vellum.  Once to use as my main image and then again to cut one of the flowers out to pop-up on my card:

Love how it makes the flower stand out a little more.

Such a beautiful set!
