Blinged Birthday with GI

Happy Friday Stamping Friends!

It's my day to post on the Great Impression Stamps Blog once again!

I created my card with this month's Blinged Birthday Challenge in mind!!

  I stenciled the stars onto my cardstock using shades of pink distress inks.

I then stamped the beautiful Swirly Happy Birthday (E367) sentiment!!  I love the font used on this sentiment, so beautiful!!

I added a bunch of pink bling!  And as you can see in the bottom left of this picture, I also sprayed the card with some glitter spritz!  So it is VERY shimmery!!

Here's some inspiration for you:

Here is a card sketch....

and photo/colors to find inspiration from....

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

For today's card I was inspired by the sketch and a few of the colors to create a Graduation card for my sister!!

In decided to turn the sketch on the side.

So I started by stamping the Stripe-tastic Edge stamp on a piece of white cardstock.  I then stamped the Star Ink Splatter twice, once on each end!

I then stamped the sentiment from the Congrads! stamp set!  As well as adding the graduation cap!

I then stamped the Star Ink Splatter in the top left corner in a light yellow and then added the open stars from the Magical Unicorn stamp set in a darker yellow!  I really like the ink splatter combined with the open stars!!!

My sisters's college colors are red and blue!!

Bee Happy with HBS

Hello Stamping Friends!

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

For my card today, I based it off of the Mood Board Challenge currently going on at HBS!!


I started by creating my Tri Fold Shutter Card Base.  I then started choosing the papers I wanted to use.

I then stamped some of the pieces of paper.

I am so super happy with how this card turned out!!

Here's a look at the card closed:

I stamped the pretty floral image from the Sweet As Honey stamp set a few time on the two end panels.

Again I used the Sweet As Honey stamp set to stamp the honeycomb image, sentiment and bee on the center panel!

A view of the card opened up:

So fun!!

I stamped the honeycomb image and tiny bee on the right center panel around the edges so that a message could be written in the middle for the recipient!

I stamped the "Have a Sweet Day" sentiment from the Happy Everything stamp set to the right panel.

When I first started creating this card I knew I wanted to use the fun Hand Lettered Alpha to create the "Bee" Happy!!" sentiment on my center middle panel!!

I also added some more bees from the Sweet As Honey stamp set around my sentiment!!

I really like how this card turned out!  Been a while since I created a card with this fold type!

D2BA Painters Tape Tutorial

Hello Stamping Friends!!

I'm on the Dare 2B Artzy Blog today!!

You know how occasionally you need a card quick? 

And don't have one made up on hand?

I have a super fun tutorial to share with you today!

It's called "Painter's Tape Tutorial"!

Start by collecting a few supplies:

Inks - Wild Orchid, Paradise, Sunset Yellow, Margarita Lime, Totally Black

Stamp Set - Celebration Numbers

Painters Tape

Cardstock

Time to have some fun! 

This tutorial is so simple and fun!

Start by ripping some pieces of painter's tape:

I ripped four pieces.

Then press a piece of tape on the ink color of your choice as if it is your "stamp"! (You can use the same ink color each time or use multiple colors)

Then place it on your cardstock, press and then peal off!!

How cool is that?!

Repeat this step to your liking!

I ended up doing the step three times!

Here's a look:

I then stamped the super cute birthday cake from the Celebration Numbers stamp set!!

Being that my ink colors are a little on the dark side, I took a black marker and filled in a few spots on the stamped numbers and cake image!  To make it look more like a silhouette, to stand out more!

I also stamped two of the sentiments from the set!!

Here's a look at my finished card:

I love how it turned out!  I created this birthday card for my sister, who recently turned 20!!
The colors are so fun and perfect together!!

Check out all D2BA's products here!

Thanks for stopping by!

Have a beautiful day! 

You Make Me Smile

Hello Stamping Friends!

Today I am sharing this fun and bright card on the SweetStamps Blog!

I love how it turned out!!

I stamped the smiley faces from the Big Smiles stamp set randomly on my yellow cardstock base! 

I also used the fun "You Make Me Smile" sentiment from the set!

Happy Sunday Friends! 
And Happy Mother's Day to all the wonderful Moms out there!

Have a lovely day!

Happy Mother's Day with GI

Happy Friday Stamping Friends!

It's my day to post on the Great Impression Stamps Blog once again!

With Mother's Day this weekend, I was inspired to create a Mother's Day card!!

Recently I got the beautiful Rose Trio (G454) stamp and thought that it would be the perfect stamp to use to create my Mother's Day card:

I had so much fun coloring the image in!  I love rorses!!

I think this card turned out to beautifully!!

I also add the Happy Mother's Day (B150) sentiment!!

Wonderful Mom with HBS

Hello Stamping Friends!

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

Today my post is in honor of all the wonderful mothers out there!  With Mother's Day being this weekend, I was inspired to create a card for the holiday.

I started by adding some adhesive tape to my vellum, then stamped my "Mom" sentiment created using the Brush Grunge Alphabet with VersaMark ink and then embossed with black embossing powder. 

I also stamped the tiny "wonderful" from the BeautifulLife stamp set!  So my complete sentiment would be "Wonderful Mom", perfect for a Mother's Day card!!

I then picked out my papers and decided I would add the oval to a piece of pinkish cardstock. 

I then took a piece of white cardstock along with some distressed inks to create my main panel for my card.

After I liked how the piece looked, I used the Not Too Shabby stamp set to stamp the floral image around the edges a few times!!  I wanted my sentiment to stand out, so I stamped the flowers in a light gray color. 

Now for a look at my finished card:

I really like how it turned out!

And honestly this wouldn't have to be used as  a Mother's Day card, it could actually be used any time of the year to let a special mom know how wonderful they are!!

I hope all the moms out there have a wonderful weekend!  You all deserve the best!

"Bee" sure to check out all the lovely products Honey Bee Stamps has to offer!

Happy Stamping!!

YNS May DT Dare

Hello Stamping Friends!

It's DT Dare day at Your Next Stamp!!

DT Dare is....
Stripes

What a super fun dare!  I love stripes!

This month YNS release a fun new stamp called Stripe-tastic Diagonal Edge!

So I thought I would use it for this card with the dare in mind!

As you can see on my card below, I stamped the new stamp on the right side of my card panel!  I decided to go with black as I wanted the images to stand out!  But just think how fun this stamp will be inked in color as well!!!

I also decided to create a sweet little scene!  I used the Chunky Grass Die to create two layers of grass!  I then used the Word Critters - Gardening Birds stamp set for my cute little birds and birdhouse, which I stamped then colored!  I then using the coordinating Word Critters - Gardening Birds Die Set to die cut them out so I could use pop-dots to pop them up!!

I love not having to fussy cut!!

The "Tweet" Thanks sentiment is also from the Word Critters set!

The cute sun is part of the fun new Little Notes stamp set!  Again I first stamped the sun image, colored and then die cut it with the matching sun die from the Little Notes Die Set!!  The cloud is part of the Rainbow Die Set!!

I finished my card off by adding some awesome Hey Baby Sparkly Gumdrops!!
