Inspired Stamps- Easter Card

Hello Everyone, it is Thursday and time for the Inspired Stamps DT post.  This week we were asked to create Easter cards.  I decided to make a pop up card.  I thought it would be a great effect to open the card and have the cross pop up.  I stamped the pop up section with Names of Jesus background stamp and the sentiment and cross from His Cross set, Inspired Stamps.

Scripture is from His Wounds, Inspired Stamps.  I stamped the nails
onto silver duct tape (purchased from local hardware store).
I cut out shape and wrapped in twine.  I added liquid pearls to center
of punched flowers.

Inside of card with pop up cross from His Cross set, Inspired Stamps.
I colored the image with Copic markers. I stamped the sentiment and punched out
of cardstock and cut rounded bottom edge off so it would sit flat and added punched flowers.

This card was fun to make and I love the look of the cross pop up.  Hope you enjoyed.  Let me know what you think and please be sure to check out the other DT for their fabulous creations.  Also be sure to check out Antoinette's blog for 31 days of mixed media tutorials.

Inspired Stamps- Stamp It 3 Ways

Hello Everyone, Thank you for visiting today.  Today the DT was challenged to choose a $3.99 Individual scripture stamp and Stamp It 3 Ways.  These again were using some of the Inspired Stamps Favorites.  I chose 2 Timothy 1:7.  Recently we had a Women's Retreat and this was the theme verse, so it has a lot of meaning to me.  " For God has NOT given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of DISCIPLINE."  What encouraging words.  I hope you are encouraged by them.

All three of my creations using the $3.99 individual scripture stamp, 2 Timothy 1:7, Inspired Stamps.

5 X 5 square card using Spellbinder nestablilities labels 9 and blossom dies.
The leaves are Sizzlet die and dp paper is K and Company Julianne Collection.  The cardstock is Spring Moss, PTI and antique linen, SU!
I used antique linen, Ranger Distress Inksand rich cocoa, Memento to age and stamp scripture.

I made a two inch side panel from dp from Julianne Collection and stamped $3.99
individual scripture three times with rich cocoa, Memento ink.  I rounded the corners with a 1/4 inch
corner chomper.  The flowers were punched out of aqua cardstock, DCWV and inked on the edges.
I stamped the scripture again of dp and punched out flower and inked edges.

This is my third and final way to use the $3.99 scripture stamp.  I stamped it several times as a background on kraft and antique ivory cardstock, SU!  I punched a few flowers out of ivory cardstock and lined them up with the background on the kraft to give an interesting feel.  I stamped the scripture on a diecut for a focal image.

I hope you enjoyed the Stamp It 3 Ways this week, please check out the other DT blogs for their fabulous creations.  We love to hear from you, so please leave us some kind words.  Check out the Inspired Stamps store to purchase any of the February Favorites or any other great stamp sets.  The stamps are made in the USA and ship out very quickly.

Embossed flowers into background

I saw this technique and had to try it. I stamped the images (vase and leaves) on white cardstock and then glued punched flowers to image. I then placed in a Sizzix embossing folder and ran through my Big Shot. This presses the flowers into the background. I then stamped my vase again and cut out and glued to the top of image and added some felt centers for added texture. I matted the image and added a bit of ribbon behind. Very CAS card, but with some visual interest.

I hope you will try this technique and let me know what you think.
