Lucky to Have with GI

Happy Monday Stamping Friends!

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

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

I'm not Irish, but I still love to create St. Patrick's Day cards to let those special people in my life know how lucky I am to have them in my life!

So I was super excited to get the new Clover Border (D476) and Lucky To Have (E828) to create this card for one of my good friends!

 I masked off one single clover from the Clover Border (D476) to add a on each side of the sentiment.

Isn't this sentiment fun?!

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!

One Last Snowfall with Red Rubber Designs

Hello Stamping Friends!

This week's Inspirational on the Red Rubber Designs Blog is hosted by Lynda!

Inspirational #111 One Last Snowfall

I know this time of year, we are just wishing for spring and NO more snow!

But I thought it would be super fun to join in this challenge!

Especially to take the time to get another Christmas card made!!

Here's my inspiration for you:

I used the super fun Ornamental Snowflakes set!  I just love all the snowflakes in this set!!

And the littlest snowflake and sentiment are from the Vintage Christmas Cling Mount Rubber Stamp set!

The snowflakes were stamped using some of my favorite Brilliance Ink Pads!!  I used the Jewel Tones! Love them!!

I really like the added pearl swirls to make the snowflakes look as though the are "flying" across my card!

Be sure to join in, we'd love to see what you create!!

Have a lovely Thursday!!

Dryer Sheet Flower Tutorial with IBS

Happy Wednesday Inspired By Stamping Friends!!

It's Whoo Hoo Wednesday!!

Last WHW Technique I shared on the Inspired By Stamping Blog was the Dryer Sheet Technique here.
So I thought it would be fun to follow up with the fun Dryer Sheet Flower Technique!

I had so much fun creating flowers with this technique!!
Will be doing this in the future again!!

Here is the card I created:

Isn't it lovely?
Love all the purples!!

Behind my Dryer Sheet Flower I used VersaMark ink to stamp the flower image from the Little Flowers set and then embossed with a pearl embossing powder.

The "Friends Forever" sentiment is from the Arrows set.

Here's my dryer sheet flower:

Isn't it pretty?!

I also added some lovely Scallop Crochet Trim to this card!

Birthday Cat with GI

Happy Monday!

I can never seem to have enough of them on hand!

Isn't this cat fun?!

Too cute!!

I love the colors I used!

The sentiment is called Dropping In, perfect with this stamp!

Another look at the Birthday Cat!!

The little girl I gave this to, just LOVES cats!

Monkey Invites

Happy Saturday!

Today it is once again my turn to post on the Miss Kate Cuttables Blog!!

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

First off make sure to head over to the Miss Kate Cuttables store to download your Freebie of the Day!

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

Are you ready for some cuteness?

My cousin recently asked me, very last minute, to create birthday invites for her little guys birthday!

I couldn't say no!

I immediately thought of this adorable Monkey!
Since the little guy loves monkeys!

Simple, yet so fun and easy to create a bunch for his birthday party!
I printed the Monkey from my printer to save me a little time.

The "You're Invited" is from Inspired By Stamping set Little Phrases. 

I used the leaves from the Monkey file to create this embellishment on each of them:

I used one of the banners from the Banners Set of 4 to create this fun "Party Time" banner for the monkey to hold! The "Party Time" sentiment is from the Inspired By Stamping set Mason Jar Add-On II!!  Perfect sentiment for this invite!

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

A look at the SVG files used:

Oh, Baby! with IBS

Hello Stamping Friends!

Happy Friday!

I'm on the Inspired By Stamping Blog today, with a baby set!

I know a bunch of people who are expecting, so I thought I would take the opportunity to use the lovely Oh, Baby! set to create a card and tag for a baby shower I will be attending this weekend.

I just love the matching tag and card!

Perfect to add to the present!

A closer look at the card:

And then the tag:

I have to admit, that this is the first time that I have ever created a matching card and tag for a gift!  Crazy, right?  Usually they don't always match!

Oh, Baby!
