Inspired Stamps DT Thursday

Hello everyone!  It is HOT, HOT, HOT here.  Boy, does it zap everything out of you.
 Today the DT could create anything.  We usually use the wonderful scripture stamps but today I wanted to showcase the other versatile stamps available in the Inspired Stamps Online store.  I made this gift set using a couple of stamp sets:  Tags and Thank you..  I closed the bag with a clothes pin (that I dyed myself).  I stamped the "Homemade with Love" sentiment from the Tags set.  I added a handmade rose and leaf.  I used the "Thank you" set for the sentiment and flowers on the tag.

I made the gift bag with the gift bag punch board and cut a window with a dye and added Bazzill paper to the front.
What do you think?  Some homemade cookies inside.  Would you like to receive this?

Have a great day and try to stay cool.  Please be sure to click on the other DT members in the sidebar to see what they came up with this week and head over to the Inspired Stamps Online Store for these stamps and so many more.

Baby Girl card

Hello everyone.  I hope you are safe and warm.  We are gearing up for yet another winter storm, but I thought I would share a cute baby girl card.  I used the unmounted rubber stamps in the Stampabilities Baby set.  I just stamped all the cute little wheeled toys in a line and colored with Copic markers.  I used the Martha Stewart Lace border punch and Sizzix button die for the finishing touches.  Thanks for stopping by  and I hope you have a safe and warm day.  I will be back on Thursday with an Inspired Stamps New Release post, so please stop by again then.

Inspired Stamps- Thursday DT Post

Hello it is Thursday.  Where does the week go?  Today the Inspired Stamps DT was asked to create a trio of "thinking of you" cards.  I used the images from Card Ministry Basics and the sentiments from Thinking of You, both of these sets are very versatile and available for purchase in the Inspired Stamps Online Store.

 I used a ticket die from Sizzix, Alterations, movers and shapers line and the banner from Spellbinders.  I used an additional mover and shaper label die in the top card for additional dimension.  I  colored the images with Copic markers and fussy cut and adhered to card.  I added glitter to tulips, and pearls to centers of the other two sets flower centers.  I took a 3/4 inch circle punch and "clipped" corners of card base to mimic the ticket.  Thanks for stopping by, please be sure to check out the Inspired Stamps blog for more terrific card sets and next week we will have a sneak peek of a new Inspired Stamps release.

Inspired Stamps, DT Thursday

Hello, wow can you believe it, by this time next week Christmas will have come and gone.  I am not yet ready.  I have been working diligently for days, but it just seems like there is not enough time.  I don't know about you, but I am always looking for a way to gift goodies for teachers, secretaries, you know all the important people in our lives that do so much each day and sometimes seem to go unnoticed.  I found this cute box template, while surfing the blogosphere and gave it a try.  I wish I could remember where to give credit, but alas no. 

This box requires one sheet of 8.5 X 11 inch paper, score the 11 inch side at .75 inches, 4.5 inches, 6.5 inches and 10.25 inches, score the 8.5 inch side at 2 inches and 6.5 inches.  Crease all the fold lines except the .75 and 10.25 (these are where the top of the box is located, I covered with piece of scalloped green paper, see below). I added a button closure, but you could add handles with ribbon.

I used some dp as background to Winter Ruth (isn't she gorgeous?).  I colored her with Copic Markers and used a sentiment, inked and stamped in pieces from the Perfect Christmas sentiment set, Inspired Stamps.  I added a rosette (Sizzix die) with a button and filled with chocolates.  This is a quick and easy box from one sheet of paper with scores but no cuts that will be perfect for all those treats to tell those people in our lives how special they are.  This is my "last minute" idea for Christmas, since it always seems like I am making these things at the last minute.  I hope you have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, the Inspired Stamps DT will be taking a break for the holidays, but I hope to be back from time to time with posts of my Chirstmas card designs (yes, still working on those too).  Please be sure to check out the other DT posts for their wonderful "last minute" Christmas ideas.  We hope you have been inspired to use these wonderful and inspirational stamps from Inspired Stamps in your holiday crafting.  Enjoy this time with family, friends and the Lord.  Merry Christmas.

Inspired Stamps- Honor our Military

Hope you had a great Memorial Day Weekend.  We want to continue to honor our Military men and Women with today's post.  Thank you so much for your service to our country to protect our freedoms.  We send up a prayer of protection for each and every one of you and your families here at home. May the Lord guard and protect you and give you peace.

I used two stamp sets for my card today.  I used HLO Soldier Boy and  Psalm 91 Protection, Inspired Stamps.  I colored the Soldier Boy with Copic markers and fussy cut him and adhered him to card.

I cut large star with Sizzix die (boy it has been a while since I have used this die :)) I stamped Psalm 91:11 in center in blue ink, Memento.  To the red cardbase, I used the three stars in this set and Versamark ink to make a background on the upper half of the base. I used a piece of white  Recollections tape that I inked with the same Memento blue ink and adheared to card.  Just a clean and simple card to honor our military.  Operation Write Home (OWH) is always looking for card donations to send to our military so they can write home to loved ones.  The cards need to be CAS, no glitter or raised embellishments.  Inspired Stamps supports OWH.  Check out Antoinette's blog for more information.

Have a great day and thank you for stopping by to visit.
