A Little Hello

Welcome back to another Thursday project with Inspired Stamps.  This week we are challenged to do a Colouring project. I decided to use the Christmas Poinsettia set for a non-Christmas card.  The sentiment is from the set Thinking of You - it's two separate stamps and I just love how they look together.

As you probably can guess, I used Copic Markers to colour the Poinsettia.  The colours I used are:

Petals - R32, R35, R37, R39
Leaves & stem - YG23, YG61, YG63
Flower centre - Y17
Outline - BG0000

Hope you like the card.  To view more inspiration, please visit the Inspired Stamps blog - the Design Team has some fabulous work to share.

Inspired Stamps - Christmas Cards Set

Hello Friends!  The weeks have been flying by and I can't believe we're a month away from Christmas!  Have you started sending out your Christmas cards?  Today my Inspired Stamps project is a Christmas cards set.

I decided to make a non-traditional Card set with quick and easy colouring.  On a piece of white cardstock, I stamped the Poinsettia image all over in different direction.  With a sponge dauber, I dabbed colours onto the image using Memento Rhubarb Stalk, New Sprout and Summer Sky.  Then I cut the cardstock into different shapes to fit on the cards and started assembling the cards.

 Here are the finished cards:

The cards came together pretty quickly and I used the following stamp sets (Click on the image for link to the Inspired Stamps store) :

Inspired Stamps - Christmas Card

Hello!  Have you started making any Christmas cards?  If you are thinking about starting, make sure you head over to the Inspired Stamps blog this week.  The Design Team is showcasing Christmas cards, and I'm sure you will be inspired.

I am always thinking of mass producing Christmas cards but every year I never get round to it due to bad planning.  This year, I've been experimenting a little and making a few simple cards which I could mass produce.  Here's one of them:

I created a background with the holly stamp and coloured the berries with a marker pen.  Then I cut a piece of fancy edged red cardstock and white embossed the sentiment.  To finish off the card, I just tied a bow with gingham ribbon.  I was thinking perhaps I could add a little bell to the bow :)

The stamp set I used is Christmas Poinsettia:

 

Hope you like the idea.  Life has been so hectic and I wish I could have another 12 hours in my day ;) just to be able to sit down and stamp and colour.  Perhaps this weekend...

Have a wonderful day!

Inspired Stamps - Shaped card

Happy Thursday!  This week's Inspired Stamps project is a Shaped Card. I'm sure you'd want to check out all the fabulous ideas the Design Team has in store - see them all on the Inspired Stamp's blog.

I used the new Christmas Poinsettia set once more - I really love this set.  I stamped and coloured the poinsettia, fussy cut it out and adhered it with foam dots on the card.  The sentiment was stamped on the die-cut patterned paper.  Hope you like the idea.

Here's another view of the card:

Have a great day!

Inspired Stamps - September Sneak Peek

 

Welcome to the September Inspired Stamps Release Sneak Peek!  If you have been following the Sneak Peeks, I'm sure you are excited about the new sets due in the Inspired Stamps store end of this week.  Today, Jamie and I are showcasing the set Christmas Poinsettia.  This has to be my new favourite Christmas set!!  The Poinsettia looks gorgeous and there are so many beautiful sentiments in this set.

  

The poinsettias are coloured with Copic Markers R32, R24, R35, R39 and the leaves G43, G94, G99.  I decided to have a white on white card, and to add some interest, I added stitching all around the image piece. Yupe, I got myself a new sewing machine ;)

Here's some closeups on the image and sentiment..

and here's the gorgeous sentiment, love the font.

I hope you'll be as excited about this set as I am.  Make sure you check Jamie's blog and also the Inspired Stamps blog for more info and inspiration.
