Flip Flopping Fabulous

Good morning crafty friends!

I am so super excited to share my project with you today, I could squeal! 

At, Joy's Life Stamps our theme this week is:

Kicking Off Summer

With that in mind, I decided to create this fun Flip Flop Box:

LOVE it!! So perfect to put a little gift inside!

Top view:

I used the perfect "You Are Flip Flopping Fabulous" sentiment from the Pun In The Sun set!!

A look at the entire set:

Technique Challenge at Sweet Stamps is:

Chalkboard Technique

I've done this technique once before and really enjoyed it!

My card:

I thought the Floral Corner Wrap stamp would be fun to use for this technique!

I die cut a few flowers and flourishes in white cardstock and then used colored chalk to add a little color to them.

I really like how this card turned out!

SS carries so many lovely frames that would work so well with this technique!

RB Birthday

Hello crafty friends!

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

I designed this card for Raisin Boat!

Using probably one of my favorite stamp sets from them!

The set is called Going in Circles!  I just love all the different design elements in the set!

I stamped the birthday sentiment in the set using Memento Rhubarb Stalk Ink.  I stamped some of the circle accents using Memento Bahama Blue Ink along with Memento Paris Dusk Ink.

Close-up:

I also used some of their lovely Boathouse Collection cardstock. I used Sky View and Brighton Beach White!

I finished the card off by adding a few Denium Pearls.

 I was inspired by this photo:

Have a wonderful day!

IBS June Release Day 4

Good morning!! 

Today is our last day of sharing some lovely inspiration with you using Inspired By Stamping's June release stamps!!  Tomorrow we will be sharing the images of the full sets with you!

We are showcasing the new French Country set!

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

I love the French Country set as there are so many wonderful elements in this set, making the creating possibilities endless!  I especially love the large sunflower and border stamp! 

I thought it would be fun to create a layout!

Perfect for a picture of my little girl in a summer dress from this summer, if it ever gets nice around here!!

I used the Fancy Label 18 set for the beautiful frame and the sentiment is from the set Big Notes II set.  It actually says "Wishing You a Beautiful Day", but I masked the stamped to just use the "Beautiful Day" portion!

Check out the fun sunflower from the new French Country set! LOVE!!

I had fun cutting portions of it, to pop up!

Check out the fun border stamp in the set, love it!!

There are so many great elements in this set!!
