Inspired By Stamping Team Day

Happy Sunday Stamping Friends!!

I have Thank You card to share with you using Inspired By Stamping products!!

I love how this beautiful card turned out:

 Created for the kids babysitter to let her know how much I appreciate her taking such good care of our kids!!

The "You are so Thoughtful" sentiment is part of the Fancy Labels I set!

I masked the "Heartfelt Thanks!" sentiment from the Graceful Hydrangea to only stamp the "Thanks!" beneath the other stamped sentiment.

I LOVE the font of these sentiments!!

Close-up of the beautiful Hydrangea:

I absolutely LOVE the Graceful Hydrangea set!!

Hydrangea Gift Box with IBS

Happy Friday Sweet Stamping Friends!!

I am on the Inspired By Stamping Blog today sharing a beautiful 3D Gift Box with you!

I am so excited to share this with you!!
I just love creating 3D Projects!

With summer being so crazy, I don't get a chance to create many, but recently I was able to sit down and create this gift box to give someone for their birthday:

I just LOVE the collection of stamps I used from Inspired By Stamping to create this!!

The "for you" and "happy birthday" sentiments are part of the Creative Tags set!

In which I die cut using one of the dies from the Fancy Labels 3 Die set! (I LOVE this die set!!)

For my main image, I used the hydrangea from the beautiful Graceful Hydrangea set!!

Such a beautiful image!!

Behind the image, on the green paper I clear embossed one of the pretty Vintage Background stamps!

Now for a look inside:

I didn't realize I don't currently have tissue paper, otherwise I would have had some in the box!

Again I used the Fancy Labels 3 Die for this layered label, along with a sentiment that  is part of the Birthday Greetings set!!

I also added two butterflies from the Butterfly Wings set!

FUN!!

3GJ + IBS Sweet Birthday Card

Good morning!

I have a fun birthday card to share with you today!!

It's my day to post on the 3 Girl JAM Blog and I decided to use my favorite Crinkle Ribbon color....
Witch's Brew!!

Which is part of the Spooky Bundle.

I have used so much of this beautiful purple crinkle ribbon over the last few months!

I used my new Inspired By Stamping set Fancy Labels 2 and Fancy Label Die 2 and then used the beautiful Witch's Brew crinkle ribbon to create a frame around the die.

I love how it looks!

I love the purple and turquoise colors used for this card! 

I also decided to create a double bow with the Witch's Brew ribbon, along with adding a button and some twine. 

The sentiment is from the Inspired By Stamping set Graceful Hydrangea!

How fun!!

Have a wonderful day!!

Creating Washi Tape

It's time for me to create another Whoo Hoo Wednesday tutorial for Inspired By Stamping!!

Whoo Hoo!!

I am so excited to share my post with you today!

I've decided to create my own 

Shimmery Washi Tape!!

You can see my tutorial on the Inspired By Stamping Blog!!

I love Inspired By Stamping's new Washi Tape stamp set, but thought it would fun to use some of IBS's background stamps to create some other patterns.  

The lovely circle frame is from the set Fancy Circles and the sentiment is from Graceful Hydrangea!

Close-up:

The stamps I used for my washi tape are Delicate Doilies II, Background Basics I and Mason Jar Add On III.

I used CI Paint Fuchsia, Plum and Tutu Pink.

For the bottom two pieces I embossed the stamped images with white embossing powder!

How fun, you can create your own washi tape to go with any project!!

The possibilities are endless!!

Today I thought it would be fun to share how I created my Fancy Labels Die 1 Notecard a few weeks back for one of the Inspired By Stamping Inspirational Challenge!

My tutorial is available on the Inspired By Stamping Blog!

Here's the new one I created:

I used the Fancy Labels Die 1 for my card shape!

Used the lovely Just Because set for the frame and the Graceful Hydrangea set for the sentiment!  Both such beautiful sets!!

I also added some Scallop Border Crochet Trim and Colonial Rose Seam Binding and Small Flowers!

With Sympathy

Recently, I needed to create two sympathy cards. :(  

Don't care for creating these type of cards.

But I quickly made these two:

The beautiful sentiment is from Inspired By Stamping's set All Year Wishes II.  I just LOVE this set! And the beautiful silhouette of  flowers is from Sweet Stamps. The stamp is called Queen Anne's Wildflowers, which was released last month. 

For this card I used the new Graceful Hydrangea stamp from Inspired By Stamping!!  Love this floral stamp!!  And again the sentiment is from the All Year Wishes II set.

Have a sweet day!

Graceful Hydrangea

I am so excited to share my card with you today!!

I'm a sucker for flower stamps to begin with, but I love this new little Graceful Hydrangea set from Inspired By Stamping!!

I had such a great time picking out the papers for this card, I really like how it turned out!

 I also really enjoyed coloring the image!

As you can see I added some of my lovely shimmer paints to the flower as well as cutting out a few of the flowers to pop up and give it a little 3D feel! 

Here's a look at the entire set:
