More Than One Stamped Image

I love the new Stylish Tulips Silhouette! 

I stamped the tulips twice, in two different shades of purple!  The Bold Butterfly Small is stamped on pattern paper and then cut out! 

A fun tag to add to a wine bottle, for a gift!

I was so proud of myself, I created the tag in Make The Cut!  I love how the entire design turned out!

IBS Circles and Pennants

Good morning!! 

I have two Inspired By Stamping projects to share with you today using two of the new sets!!

It's going to be another GREAT release!!

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

Today we are sharing projects using the new Trendy Circle Sentiments and Whimsical Banners!!

I will be featuring the Whimsical Banners set!

I just LOVE this new set!!

I love banners, so I was so excited to get the Whimsical Banner set!!  All the banners in the set are so beautiful!  There are 10 different banners!!

For this layout I also used the Fancy Labels Die 1, but just trimmed the top half circle off, to give it a different shape!

Check out two of the banners from the set:

The sentiment is from the new Big Wishes III set!

I just love this sentiment!  The kids and I always are trying to be the first to say "I Love You More!"  And as I try to say it they just continue to say "No I Love You More...more...more...more!"  They usually always win!  

They are the greatest thing in my life!  Along with my hubby!

Anyway, this sentiment will be so perfect for Valentine's Day cards as well!!  And there are so many different possibilities with the banners!!

IBS Tags and Inspirations

Good morning!! 

Another day of Inspired By Stamping sneak peek projects!

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

Today we are showcasing the new Creative Tags and Words of Inspiration sets!!

I am showcasing the new Creative Tags set!!

I actually used one of the tags in the set to create this banner:

And added a few of the sentiments in the set on them!

I just love these tiny sentiments to go along with the tags!!

What a fun set!

In the set there are also two small dots!  I decided to use one of them on this shimmery arrow I created!

What a fun idea!  I just love how it helps lead your eye to my handsome little man!

The "love you more" sentiment is also a new sentiment from IBS!!  It's included in the Big Wishes III set which we will be featuring on Tuesday!

I used the Fancy Label Die 1 For the shape!  But just altered it a little bit, by trimming of the top half circle.

Altered Clothespins

Good morning crafty friends!

I hope you had a wonderful Easter with your family and friends!!  I had such a blast with the kids!!

Anyway, on to today's post!

I am so excited to share this post with you!!  I'll be giving you a sneak peek of a NEW product you will be able to order soon!!

YAY!!

During a recent shopping trip with my friend I found these large clothespins, that I thought would be fun to alter with Creative Inspiration Paints!!  My kids love crafting with me and well our fridge can only hold so much, plus I love having some of their art work in my craft room, so I thought these would be fun to hold a few of their little things they've created for me.  And I could keep them right on my craft table to see at all times.  

For the pink one, I used Blush as the main color!  And then used bubble wrap to create the fun texture with Plum!

I really like how it turned out, especially with the added Crinkle Ribbon, flowers and gems!!

The sparkle is beautiful!!

For the blue one I used Turquoise! My son's favorite color!

I wasn't sure how to decorate his, as I didn't want to make it too girly!

So I decided to add some Crinkle Ribbon along with a charm I created!

I cut out a tiny circle on my Cricut and then stamped the tiny "smile" sentiment, as I thought it would be perfect, since their artwork always makes me smile!!

I set the circle into the charm and then used our NEW product to finish it up!! ;)

So that's a sneak peek for you!!

Oh so exciting!!!

This is the first thing I created with it and I loved it!!  Took a little experimenting, but was so fun!!

Close-up of the shimmer and the Metallic Inspirations in Matt Blue that I used.

And lastly a look at them displaying some of their little art work:

We sure hope you are excited about the new product being released, we think you will have a fun time using it and can't wait to see what all of you will do with it!! 

Our current challenge at Creative Inspirations Paint is Anything Goes, join in we'd love to see what you create!

Have a shimmery day!!
