Roses are Red with IBS

Happy Friday Sweet Stamping Friends!!

I am on the Inspired By Stamping Blog today sharing a beautiful Birthday card!

Recently it was my Mother-In-Law's Birthday!
My Father-In-Law called me and asked if I could create a special card for him to give her!

Well my MIL loves roses!  So I instantly thought of the lovely Flowers Bloom set from Inspired By Stamping!

Such a beautiful rose image in that set!!

The red and black are so beautiful and elegant together!

The "Happy Birthday" sentiment is from the Fancy Sentiments set!

I also stamped tiny butterflies around the sentiment and embossed with clear embossing powder.  The butterfly is from the Butterfly Wings set.

The image was soooo very fun to color with my copics!
It was the first time I colored them red!  I've always colored the rose yellow or pink!

And the finished inside:

I love, love, love the Birthday Greetings set!  So many lovely sentiments to use for the inside of your cards!!

I also used the single rose in the Flowers Bloom set!

I also used some White Fabric Tape and Black Seam Binding for my card!

Mother's Day Tin with IBS

Happy Tuesday Stamping Friends!!

I am on the Inspired By Stamping Blog today sharing a beautiful Mother's Day tin!

I am in love with the new Mother's Day Bouquet set!  The floral bouquet in this set, in my opinion, is just so beautiful and stunning!!  

I really enjoyed coloring this image!

Here's the tin I created for my Mom for Mother's Day:

I just love how it turned out!

I used some IBS Flowers around the image to add some more interest. 

Don't you agree...isn't the bouquet beautiful?

I just LOVE my flowers!!

I am featured in today's newsletter!!

I created this beautiful card for today's newsletter feature:

I love the new paper offered by Inspired By Stamping!  It is so beautiful!

I used some of the sheets from the Vintage Floral pad for this card!

The "Thank You" is from the Butterfly Wings set and the lovely "You are so Thoughtful" is from the Small Fancy Labels 1 set!

I layered a few of the Fancy Labels 2 Die cuts for the main focus on the card.

The butterflies are from the Spring Lilacs set!  I used the lovely cut file offered by Joanna to cut them out and then I stamped the image!  You can find the cut file here.

I also used some lovely Vintage Crochet Trim on my card!  So beautiful!

Christmas Boxes

Hello Stamping Friends!

I am super excited to share this post with you!!

I am posting on the Inspired By Stamping Blog today!

I created two pretty boxes to share with you today!

First up is my snowflake box:

I just love how it turned out!!

I think the White Fabric Tape adds a nice touch as well!

On each of the sides I stamped a single snowflake from the December 25th Labels set.

I added some die cut snowflakes to the top from Top Dog Dies!

As well as a beautiful stick pin and a stamped Let It Snow tag from the Holiday Tags!

I intended on adding truffles I made to this box, but after finishing I thought it would make a great gift box to give handmade ornaments in...

So now I will have to create some glittery ornaments as well as some more fun boxes!!

I love the added stick pin from Pinque Peacock!

I have one more box to share with you today! :)

Recently the kids and I had a lovely baking day, making all kids of candy and cookies!  Which is why I was set out to create this packages to begin with!

I used the Fancy Labels 2 Die along with the Festive Frames set to create this pretty label for the top of the box.

I also added a few Poinsettia's to the top!

On each side I used one of the borders from the Delicate Doilies II set!  As well as then adding rhinestones in between!

I think it adds a nice touch!

I sure hope you enjoyed these pretty packages, as much as I do!

Have a wonderful day!

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

I have had such a lovely time working with WorldWin Papers!

I personally LOVE the Petallics!!

Ready for my inspiration?
I have 3 projects to share with you!

Firstly, I created this fun tea light card holder!

I just love this design!

For the main base I used WorldWin Cardstock in Kraft!

I used my favorite Petallics Cardstock in Snow Willow!

Just LOVE the smooth and sparkly paper!!

I also used a little some Original ColorMates Cardstock in Deep Belgium Blue!

I thought this was a perfect color pallet to use along with some of my favorite Inspired By Stamping sets!!

I LOVE snowflakes, so I used a combination of these lovely sets Winter Wonderland, December 25th Labels and Elegant Christmas Sentiments!

The "Warm Winter Wishes" sentiment is from the Winter Wonderland set!

For the tag, again I used my favorite snowflake from the Winter Wonderland set, as well as a sentiment from the Holiday Sentiments set!

Love the shimmer of the paper!!

-----

Again for this card, I used the Winter Wonderland for the tiny snowflake!

The sentiment is from the Elegant Christmas Sentiments set, such a lovely set with such beautiful sentiments for the holidays!

For my card base I used some lovely White Cardstock and then used some Kraft for the main layer, with a hint of Deep Racy Raspberry behind the Kraft snowflake!

Close-up:

-----

Lastly, I have another lovely holiday card!
I just love how this one turned out!
So elegant!!

For the main card base I used Medium Berry Red!

The I embossed a piece of White Cardstock and Medium Berry Red, along with adding a scallop piece of Dark Spring Green!

I embossed a Festive Frame in white and a Elegant Christmas Sentiment in sparkly red on Vellum! With Dark Spring Green underneath and a scallop circle in Deep Emerald Isle! 

I thought it would be fun to stamp a few envelopes as well!!

How fun!

Hope you had a great weekend!!

It's my day to post on the 3 Girl JAM Blog!!

I needed a quick "Thank You" card to give to my mom, so I thought it would be fun to use my favorite Vintage Crochet Trim and Crinkle Ribbon together!!  

I really enjoy using my Crinkle Ribbon to entwine it in this trim.  I love the finished look!

The beautiful frame is from the Inspired By Stamping Fancy Lables 2 set! Along with the Fancy Labels 2 Die!  The sentiment is from the Graceful Hydrangea set!

For this card I used Cherry Lipstick!

 I used the wonderful 3GJ Bow Maker to create my perfect bow!!

Isn't it a lovely touch?!

I added one of my lovely Pinque Peacock pearl stick pins!!

Check out all the lovely 3GJ Crinkle Ribbon colors here!!

Minnie Mouse
