Easter Package with GI

Happy Monday Stamping Friends!

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

I have a fun Easter package to share with you today!!!

With our current Spring Celebrations challenge in mind at Great Impressions, I thought it would be fun to create an Easter Package for one of my kiddos for Easter!
 I used the Cursive Happy Easter (C430) sentiment!

I then stamped the Basket of Bunnies (F543) image, and just cut out the eggs to add to my banner!
A fun and simple banner!

They'll love it, especially the candy jelly beans!!

Baby Card with GI

Happy Monday Stamping Friends!

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

Recently one of my friends welcomed an adorable little baby boy into their lives!
I created this sweet baby card for them:

I used the fun Pull Toys (J92) stamp for this card!  Perfect for baby cards!

The "Baby" sentiment is a rub-on sticker I found in my stash!

I add some stars, in which I used some of my Creative Inspirations Paint to add shimmer to them!!

Reach for the Stars with IBS and MKC

Good morning crafty friends!

It's my turn to post on the Inspired By Stamping Blog as well as Miss Kate Cuttables

So I had decided to combine the two!
As IBS stamps and MKC'S svg files work so well together!

I came up with this layout:
I love how it turned out!!

I decided to cut out the large "reach" on brown paper and use the negative portion, so that I could let the star paper show through!
StarsTitle
I used the "Reach For The Stars" file from Miss Kate Cuttables.

StarsTitle2
The arrow, is part of the Arrows stamp set from IBS.
I used the newly released Everyday Greetings from IBS for a subtitle on this layout:
A perfect match, in my opinion, with the main title!

The stamped stars are from the Oh, Baby! set.  Which I stamped under the subtitle, along with two border strips.
 I also used the Octagons set for two corners, to add a little interest!


The red shape behind the photo is the Nested Label from MKC.
I added the stars from Reach For The Stars to the Nested Label.

I liked them rounded around the Nested Label.  The added rhinestones, I think, add a nice touch.

Be sure to check out Miss Kate Cuttables Freebie of the Day!

And be sure to check out the 3 new stamp sets released by Inspired By Stamping!  They are lovely!!

Hope you have a wonderful day!!

Anything Goes

Once again it's that time of month at Sweet Stamps that the designers get to choose whatever they would like to create for the challenge!

I decided I would create a Birthday Center Step Card!
 Recently a sweet little girl we know celebrated her 2nd birthday!
And what fun, her birthday party theme was Carousel Horses!

I immediately knew I needed to use this Carousel Horse Right!
Very girly and fun!
