Good morning!! 

Today is our last day sharing projects using Inspired By Stamping's new releases!

Which means.....tomorrow is
RELEASE DAY!!

Yay!!

All the stamp sets will be available for purchase!!

9 new sets!! And they are all amazing!!

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

Today we are sharing projects using the new Washi Tape along with Big Notes III and Big Wishes III.

First up is a card using Washi Tape and Big Notes III.

Not a big fan of making these type of cards, especially when lately it seems like that is all I am making! :(

But I sure like the simplicity of this Sympathy card. 

So elegant, the sentiment is so perfect!

I love the new Washi Tape set as well!!  I have a hard time finding the right color washi tape I want....no longer a problem with this set!!  I can stamp the "washi tape" in any color I want!! :)

There are 10 different washi tape styles in this set!!

The beautiful Iris is from the Beautiful Iris set release last month!

Close-up of the sentiment from the Big Notes III set:

I love the added splash of color with the rhinestones, button and twine!

 There are 3 lovely sentiments in this set!!

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

The card uses the new Washi Tape and Big Wishes III sets!

The Big Wishes III set has 3 lovely sentiments in it as well!

Just love this birthday sentiment from the set:

What a fun bright birthday card!

I just LOVE the washi tape set!  As I mentioned before I love being able to stamp the washi tape in any color I would like!  Don't need to buy a ton of rolls! 

Close-up:

How fun!

IBS Circles and Pennants

Good morning!! 

I have two Inspired By Stamping projects to share with you today using two of the new sets!!

It's going to be another GREAT release!!

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

Today we are sharing projects using the new Trendy Circle Sentiments and Whimsical Banners!!

I will be featuring the Whimsical Banners set!

I just LOVE this new set!!

I love banners, so I was so excited to get the Whimsical Banner set!!  All the banners in the set are so beautiful!  There are 10 different banners!!

For this layout I also used the Fancy Labels Die 1, but just trimmed the top half circle off, to give it a different shape!

Check out two of the banners from the set:

The sentiment is from the new Big Wishes III set!

I just love this sentiment!  The kids and I always are trying to be the first to say "I Love You More!"  And as I try to say it they just continue to say "No I Love You More...more...more...more!"  They usually always win!  

They are the greatest thing in my life!  Along with my hubby!

Anyway, this sentiment will be so perfect for Valentine's Day cards as well!!  And there are so many different possibilities with the banners!!

IBS Tags and Inspirations

Good morning!! 

Another day of Inspired By Stamping sneak peek projects!

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

Today we are showcasing the new Creative Tags and Words of Inspiration sets!!

I am showcasing the new Creative Tags set!!

I actually used one of the tags in the set to create this banner:

And added a few of the sentiments in the set on them!

I just love these tiny sentiments to go along with the tags!!

What a fun set!

In the set there are also two small dots!  I decided to use one of them on this shimmery arrow I created!

What a fun idea!  I just love how it helps lead your eye to my handsome little man!

The "love you more" sentiment is also a new sentiment from IBS!!  It's included in the Big Wishes III set which we will be featuring on Tuesday!

I used the Fancy Label Die 1 For the shape!  But just altered it a little bit, by trimming of the top half circle.
