Inspired Stamps March 2014 Release Sneak Peek

Welcome to the Inspired Stamps March Release Sneak Peek! This month Antoinette has some Amazing stamps for those who love Art Journaling or any Mixed Media art.  But, not to worry, it doesn't stop there, because you can easily use the stamps for cards as well.

I used this sweet girl from the Hymn Girls January - Confession & Humility and paired it with the 2x2 Scripture from Deut 31:8.  I sponged the girl image with some Distress Ink Vintage Photo and popped it up on foam adhesive on the card.  Really simple!

Remember the new Release will be available on the Inspired Stamps store this Friday at noon time.  There is an offer as well for the Hymn Girls, buy 5 get 6th free! To see more Sneak Peeks, please visit the Inspired Stamps Blog.

Inspired Stamps February 2014 Release

Welcome to the Inspired Stamps February Sneak peek!  There are 4 new stamp sets, and today, I'm focusing on the Value Pack Flowers set.  This is an updated set of the popular floral images.

The flower was coloured with Copic Markers - Petals (R32, R35, R46, R56, R59), Leaves & stem (YG23, YG61, YG63, YG67, YG97) and Flower centre (R01, R02, R05).

I added some stitching at the corners as I thought the card was a little too plain :)

The new stamps are being released this Friday on the Inspired Stamps webstore at noon.  Please check out the Inspired Stamps Blog for more sneaks from the Design Team.

By the way, Antoinette has thrown in a Special Offer which you will enjoy - 40% off the Highest priced stamp purchased by using the Coupon Code "40val".  This code is valid through Valentine's Day.

Inspired Stamps May Release

  

Welcome to Inspired Stamps May Release day!  I can't tell you how excited I am to work with these new characters Antoinette has created.  Today I'm showcasing 2 of the new HLO characters and they are just Fabulous!!  As you can guess, the characters are HLO : Bride and HLO : Groom.

Antoinette has designed the HLO : Groom such that his arm can be masked and put around the bride. How clever! In my samples, I have kept them separate, just to showcase the stamps individually.  Here are the cards:

The groom card can be used for weddings and other congratulatory or birthday cards.

My favourite is the HLO : Bride image.  I think she looks exquisite in the beautiful wedding gown and pearls.  I didn't add a sentiment to the card, as I think the image says it all. 

Please visit the Inspired Stamps Blog for more Amazing samples from the Design Team.  Each of us are featuring different sets.

Thanks for visiting me.

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.

Inspired Stamps May Sneak Peek #2

Welcome to the second day of the May Inspired Stamps Sneak Peek!  Jenn and I are showcasing the set Inspired Shapes today.  I have to say there are so many possibilities with this set.  If you love Art Journalling, you'd have to have it!  If you are not really into Art Journalling nor mixed media, like me, you'll find this set utterly fun too.  I love  geometric shapes and there are some cool shapes in this set!

For my card, I decided to use the hexagon border.  Hexagons are certainly so trendy right now.  On a piece of pink cardstock, I stamped the hexagon border a few times as shown, and coloured them with Copic Markers.  Here are the colours I used: Bottom row - RV63, RV66. RV69, Next row up - BV00, BV02, BV04, 3rd row up - RV14, RV17, RV19, 4th row up - V12, V15, V17, Top row - RV00, RV02, RV04.  After colouring the borders, I embossed the pink cardstock with an embossing folder. The sentiment is from Guard Your Heart set, and I inked up part of the stamp with Memento Grape Jelly.

Here's another look at the card:

I hope you are excited about this new release, they will be available at noon, this Friday. Be sure to check Jenn's awesome project as well as the Inspired Stamps blog.

Take care!

Inspired Stamps Sneak Peek - March 2012 release

Hello Friends!  I'm SO excited to share with you a sneak peek of the new Inspired Stamps set aptly named "Guard Your Heart" to be released this Friday at noon.  This set is so very dear to my heart - the sentiments and Scriptures Antoinette has incorporated into the set are just perfect.  I have chosen to showcase my favourite image and Scripture for today's card.

It has been a year filled with challenges for my family, and one thing I have learnt is we need to guard our hearts at all times so we can remain faithful to God and grow in our faith.  Our hearts can be so easily influenced by many things, and we need to constantly check it against the word of God and with much prayer.

I am so in-love with shades of pinks lately and I wanted this card to be special and to tell the story that when all is right with our hearts, so will our lives be.  The Copic Markers I've used are R30 and R32 to colour the heart and they match perfectly with the cardstock.  I've added some clear glitter on the heart image using the Atyou Spica Clear pen.  The pattern papers are from Fancy Pants and Webster's Pages.

Here's another look at the tiny hearts and the tag behind the image.

I hope I have sparked your interest in this gorgeous, meaningful stamp set "Guard Your Heart" which will be on sale this Friday at noon at the Inspired Stamps website.  And, as always, I look forward to read your feedback and comments - they surely brighten my day.

Take care.

Inspired Stamps January Release Sneak Peek

Welcome to the Inspired Stamps January Release Sneak Peek!  Today, Amber and I will be sharing some sneaks of a new set called "Draw Near".  It's a beautiful set with very useful sentiments including Scripture sentiments and a gorgeous image.  The sneak peeks are happening the whole of this week and Friday noon time, all the new releases will be available on the Inspired Stamps store.

I am excited to share with you 2 projects from the "Draw Near" set.  The first is a slightly more elaborate card with colouring.  I stamped the girl image using the X-press It Blending cardstock and coloured her with copic markers (Skin - E000, E11, E31, R21; Lips - R32; Eyes - E21, YG23; Hair - E21, E35, E37, E57; Attire - V000, V12, V15, B41, B45).  The image was cut out using Spellbinders Circle die and I sponged some Distress Ink Tumbled Glass around the edges, and layered it on the two of the Spellbinders Ironwork Motifs diecuts.  The patterned papers are from BasicGrey Picadilly 6x6.

My second card is simple, it's a card which you can make in about 15 minutes or less.  Just choose a pretty patterned paper and let the sentiment be the main focal image.

There are just so many possibilities with these scripture sentiments and they are so great for encouragement cards.  I had such fun with it and I hope you'll check it out.  The patterned papers are from Fancy Pants Summer's End 6x6.

Thank you for coming by today.  Remember to visit Amber's blog to see her gorgeous project too and the Inspired Stamps blog for more info.
