Unique Shaped Card with IBS

Good Morning Stamping Friends!!

I am on the Inspired By Stamping blog today!

Today we are featuring Unique Shaped Christmas Cards!

I just love creating shaped cards!
With this in mind, I decided to visit  my Bigger Die Cut Tutorial again! 

I once again used  the largest die from the Fancy Labels 1 Die set!!
I created this shaped card with it:
Similar to the other, but a little smaller.

The Season's Greeting sentiment is part of the Holiday Sentiments set.
I love the Poinsettias stamp set!

The Poinsettia is so beautiful embossed  in white on vellum!!

Isn't it beautiful?!
I sure think so!

Pretty Snowflakes with GI

Happy Monday Stamping Friends!

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

I LOVE the new G512 Winter Snowflake!
Can never have enough snowflake stamps!
When I seen this one, I knew it would have to be added to my stash!!

Check out the two cards I created with it:
Simple, yet so very fun and elegant!

Close-up of both of them:
I added a bunch of rhinestones to this one to make it really sparkle!
I also used the C427 Seasons Greetings stamp for the sentiment!

I stamped the G512 Winter Snowflake a few times on the next card.
For this one I used the D397 Winter Wonderland sentiment:
I sprayed the top of this card with a pink shimmery spray!  It really sparkles!

Oh Christmas Tree with IBS

Happy Sunday Stamping Friends!!

I have a Christmas card to share with you today using some Inspired By Stamping products!!

Ever since I got the Friends Forever set I have been wanting to created a Christmas tree with the "swash" in the set!  Finally I was able to find some time to do so!!

And I LOVE how it turned out:
Simple, yet so beautiful!
Took me awhile to get the tree just right!!

Perfect Holiday Wreath with IBS

Good Morning Stamping Friends!!

I am the featured designer at Inspired By Stamping this week!!

Here is the beautiful card I created:
 Simple, yet so very elegant!
I just LOVE how it turned out!

I LOVE the new Christmas Wreath stamp set!

I am sharing with you today a fun and simple way to make a perfect Christmas wreath on your projects!!

Start by gathering your supplies:

Supplies:
Shades of Green Ink
Christmas Wreath Stamp Set
Cardstock
Circle Die
Pencil

On your cardstock base, lightly trace the inner or outer of the circle die with your pencil.
Any size die is fine, just depends on the size of your project/how big you would like your wreath to be!

I started with my darkest ink first.
Stamp the "branch" around the pencil lines.

Use your different shades of green ink to make it look as full as you would like.
As you can see the pencil line eventually disappears and you have a lovely looking wreath!

Simple and so fun!! 

You are then ready to create your card!

My card again:
The Season's Greetings sentiment is part of the Festive Frames set.

 So pretty!!
