Inspired Stamps - CAS Christmas Card

Hello Friends!  Welcome to another Inspired Stamps post, this week it's DT choice, and it looks like I'm really into Christmas cardmaking.  It's a CAS card this week and I used the sentiment from Vintage Christmas set, which is one of my favourites.

I die cut the tree on the cardbase, and adhered a green patterned paper behind so the pattern shows through.  Then I used a rectangle die and embossed the cardbase to create a frame around the tree.  I added a little bell on the top of the tree with a ribbon bow, and finish off the card by stamping the sentiment at the bottom left corner.

 This is the inside of the card.  I stamped a Scripture sentiment from John 3:16 on another piece of cardstock and scored the edges to mimic the front of the card, and the sentiment is a perfect match as well.

I think this card can be mass produced and the positive diecut of the tree can be saved for use on another card idea.

Hope you like the card.

Thanks for stopping by today.  Wishing you a fabulous day!

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 - Using a Tag

Hello again!  Hope your week has been a happy one.  This week's Inspired Stamps project is to use a tag in a card or project.  My tag is a simple homemade rectangle die-cut and I added some ribbon and a tiny bell to jazz it up a little.

 I stamped the leaf from the set Thank You on the green tag.  I added this cute bicycle die-cut on the tag, in green and black colour combo.  I split up the sentiment from the mini set Proverbs 3:5 and stamped it on the top and bottom of the card, and added some white gel pen stitch lines and dots all around the tag image.

Here's another look at the card:

Inspired Stamps - Easel Card

 

Welcome to Inspired Stamps Thursday!  This week, we are showcasing Easel cards with Scripture.  I have never tried to make a shaped Easel card, and was keen to try it.  

The Shaped card was cut using Spellbinders Labels 20 (largest die).  I used the scripture from the Thank You set, and stamped it on patterned paper.  This is one of my favourite verses, and to add a little interest to the card, I made a rolled paper flower and leaves and adhered them to the top corner of the card.

 

Here's how the card looks when it's closed:

and  when opened, I reckon it looks, sort of like an oyster? ;-)

Thank you for stopping by.  Please check out the Inspired Stamps blog for more awesome Easel cards from the team.  And don't forget you have a few more days to take advantage of this special :

Have a fabulous day!

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.

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.

Thank you for stopping by.

Inspired Stamps - Prayed for you

Hello Friends!  Today, at Inspired Stamps we are sharing a Design Team project of our choice.  I used the stamp set "Thinking of You" on this simple card.  The flowers & leaves image was stamped on white cardstock and coloured with Copic Markers (flowers R32, R35 and R37, R81, R83, R85 and leaves G40, G43, G46, and background B10).  The sentiment was stamped directly on the patterned paper.  I apologise for the poor lighting of the photo, it's always dark by the time I get home.

 

There is a SALE happening right now at Inspired Stamps, 40% off the highest priced item!  What a special deal!

Please visit the Inspired Stamps Blog for more ideas and amazing projects from the Design Team.

Thanks for visiting me.  I'm trying to be more organised, work has been busy but I look forward to some stamping this weekend.

Have a great day!
