IBS August Recap

Good morning !! 

I hope you had a chance to check out the Inspired By Stamping release yesterday!!  Some fun new stamp sets!  I sure enjoyed creating with them along with the lovely ribbons Joanna released as well!!

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

I'm so excited to share my recap project with you today!

I used the new Mason Jar Add On I and Mason Jar Add On II to dress up this jar of  homemade Rhubarb Jam!

The Rhubarb Jam sentiment is from the Mason Jar Add On I set and the label it is stamped on is from the Mason Jar Add On II set.   I used some new Princess Crochet Trim along the top of the cover!!  I just love this trim!!

I used some of the new Victorian Rose Satin Ribbon around the jar behind the label and flowers.  I also used some of IBS's lovely flowers!!

On the lid I used a sentiment from the Mason Jar Add I On set.  Underneath that die cut circle I used a background stamp from the Vintage Background set to tie in the blue circle piece of paper a little better.

How fun!!

IBS August Sneak Peeks

Good morning !! 

Tomorrow is the August release day at Inspired By Stamping!!
Are you ready?!

I'm excited to share a few of the things I have created with the new stamps along with some other wonderful new goodies being offered by IBS!!

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

First up, is a fun, easy and quick project that I had fun doing!

I used the new Spice Jar Labels for this project.

I first started by stamping my label and spice sentiment, then fussy cut it out:

Next I ran the label through my Xtron 1.5" Create-A-Sticker, to make the label into a sticker, so that I could adhere it to the jar!!

My finished project:

How fun and easy!!  I added a pearl on each side just to spice it up!!

We make a lot of Chili in winter, so we always have Chili Powder in the house!!  Thought it would be fun to create this jar as well!

At the top of the jar I used some permanent sticky tape around the rim then add some new Scallop Crochet Trim!!  Love this new trim being released this month!!

To spice this one up, I added a few rhinestones!

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

I have a fun layout to share with you for my little guys album!

I used the new Mason Jars set to create this layout!!

Close-up:

I used some of the new White Fabric Tape to create a border across the page!  LOVE!

I stamped the mason jar twice, once on vellum and once on white paper.  I used the vellum for the top layer, to make it look more like a jar!  So the stamped butterfly actually looks like it is in the inside!  The butterfly is from the Butterfly Wings set! (LOVE!)

I used last month's release stamp set Fancy Alphabet to create the title, along with the Butterfly Wings to create a few more butterflies around the title!

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

I have one more layout to share with you!

I used some of the spice sentiments from the Spice Jar Labels set to create a strip of paper to add to this layout I created for my little girls album.

Last month I created a layout for my little guys album, but never got around to finishing my little girl's!  But I am so glad I waited!

As this spice set was a perfect addition for this layout!!

Close-up:

The title was made using the Fancy Alphabet and the stars are from the Oh, Baby! set.

I also used the Yummy Food Labels set to create the Pasta tag.

Another reason I am so glad I waited to finish her page is because of the LOVELY new trim being released this month!!

I used some Victorian Crochet Trim for this layout!  Isn't it lovely?!?!

IBSIC #22

 Inspired By Stamping Inspiration Challenge #22

Time for another beautiful sketch!

I just love the sketches that Joanna creates for us to find inspiration from!

My mom's birthday was at the beginning of this month, so I used today's sketch to create a fun card for her!

I used the All Year Wishes II for the sentiment on the front!

I just love the font used for this set!  So elegant and pretty!  Also love the flowers from IBS!!

I also used the wonderful Birthday Greetings set for the inside sentiment, but completely forgot to take a picture! (so sorry)  But I wanted to mention the set, because it is so amazing!  I love all the great birthday sentiments for the inside of cards!!

Here is the sketch:

Join in, we'd love to see what you create!!

Have a wonderful day!!

PAS Stamp on DP

There is another great challenge on the Paper and Such blog!

Stamp on DP

I used the Daisies set to create this card!!  I just love flowers, so this is one of my favorite Paper and Such sets!

A close-up of the little window I created:

I stamped the image on DP two times, so that I could pop-up some of the flower to make it look 3D!  I used one of my Tim Holtz Distress Markers to color in the leaves of the flower lightly.

Check out the Paper and Such store for more great products!!

Join in, we'd love to see what you create!
