IBS May Recap

Good morning !! 

So what do you think about the Inspired By Stamping release yesterday??!!  Pretty exciting!  Joanna's stamps always amaze me!
---------------------------

We each were asked to use a specific set from the release.  I was asked to use Paris!

Someday I hope I will be able to travel there, as a little girl growing up I always dreamed of visiting there!

Anyway, here is the card I created:

I love the colors I ended up using!

Not only did I use Paris, but I thought it would be fun to combine the set with the new Vintage Postcards set!

I also used a Burgundy Medium Flower - so pretty!!

Also wanted to share one of the Handmade by stamps Joanna created!

Here's a look at the sets I used:

IBS May Sneak Peeks

Good morning !! 

Tomorrow is release day at Inspired By Stamping!!

This month we have changed things up a little bit!  For now on each of us will be in a group to showcase certain new stamp sets being released!  Plus some more inspiration throughout the month!!

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

The first set I used was the new Daisies set!!  LOVE LOVE LOVE! I created a layout for my little girl's album of pictures from last fall!!  I just love these pictures!

The flowers and "You Make Everything Beautiful" sentiment are from the new Daisies set! 

I also used the set Beautiful Ovals!  I just love the IBS stamps that go with the Spellbinders dies!  I think this title turned out so fun along with the flowers!!

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

For this next layout I used the new Inspiring Sentiments, what a great set this is for not only making cards, but for layouts as well!

I was inspired to create a layout using some pictures of the kids with some fun lego creations we made!  We love building with legos!!

These little sentiments were perfect, as my little guy usually always uses the words "Awesome, Amazing, Wonderful and Fantastic" when he talks about our neat creations!!

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

Lastly, I have a card I created using the Amazing Inspirations and Little Flowers set.

I ended up using the Live, Laugh, Love sentiments in the set to create this card that I thought would be nice for an Anniversary card.

The flowers on the DP paper is a flower stamp from the Little Flowers set that I stamped and then embossed with white embossing powder!  How cool!  Love how it turned out, almost looks as though the flowers were part of the paper!!

Here is the card I created:

Turned out a little different then I first pictured in my head, but that's okay!  I still am happy with how it turned out!

I just LOVE the Dot Butterfly stamp!!

At first I wasn't going to usedmy CI Paints on the butterfly and just leave it plain, but I love my shimmer!!  So I used Ivory, Sky Blue and Coal to add a ton of shimmer to the butterfly!  I also used my Pearl Pen on the dots of the butterfly!
