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.

Inspired Stamps DT Thursday

Hello there everyone.  Today at Inspired Stamps we are showcasing the alphabet stamps.  I chose to use Typewriter Text Lowercase and Perfect Sentiments for my card. I punched squares from the Bazzill Vintage Marketplace papers and rounded two corners and stamped a letter on each square and then masked off the word "Happy" on the Perfect sentiment "Happy Birthday" stamp and just stamped the word "Birthday".  I added a flower punched out of same paper pad (these are double sided papers so you get lots of options).  I added a button and some sequins.  The pieces were mounted on a piece of Bazzill pink cardstock and then onto a card base.
Clean and Simple, but I think bright, cheery and cute.
Please check out the other DT posts (click the links in my side bar) for more inspiration and the Inspired Stamps Online store to see all the alphabet sets available.  Have a great day and thanks for stopping by.

Inspired Stamps Thursday DT post

Hello and Rejoice.
Today I used another Hymn girl set.  This one is Hymn Girl June.  I used one of the words "Rejoice" in the set to stamp on the green flag.  I cut girl out and colored her with Copics.  I was not going to color anything but her skin but I love coloring and before I knew it she was colored.
I used Bazzill cardstock and Vintage Marketplace designer paper pack.  The Inspired Stamps Online Store is now carrying a variety of Bazzill papers, so check it out.
I pleated the paper by scoring 1 inch, .5 inches, 1 inch, repeating.  The paper is only 6 inches wide so I used a second strip and joined them in the middle.  I added lace to top and bottom of pleat and a button with a twine bow to complete.
I think this Hymn Girl exudes joy (another of the words in this set) and this is a time that we should be rejoicing our Risen Savior.  But as Christians we should be rejoicing everyday for all that He has done and is doing in our daily lives.  So rejoice with me today and everyday for what our Lord has done.
Thank you for stopping by today.  I hope you feel the joy this Hymn Girl is exhibiting and have a great day.  Remember to stop by the Inspired Stamps blog for more creations and information.  Have a great Easter.

 Happy Thursday.  It is starting to feel like Spring.  Today I made a CAS card using Hymn Girl November.  I love how lovely this image is with her kneeling and praying.  I used Bazzill cardstock and dp Vintage Marketplace.  I thought it looked like wallpaper in a young girl's room.  I colored the girl with Copics but did not want solid green for her dress so I outlined and blended with Colorless blender pen, I just wanted some color to pull out the background, but not a lot.  I used American Craft adhesive glitter tape to join dp to cardstock and then attached to cardbase.  I used Spellbinder Romantic Rectangle dies.  The smallest die would not accomadate the word "Prayer" so I masked off the -er and inked only the word Pray and stamped on the rectangle and inked with Distress inks.

Remember to check out the beautiful projects by our other DT members and be sure to visit the Inspired Stamps blog at noon today to see if you are selected as a winner of the $10.00 gift certificate for commenting on the last two blogposts.  Thank you for stopping by.  Remember that these lovely stamps and many others can be purchased in the Inspired Stamps Online Store.

Inspired Stamps DT Thursday

 Hello again everyone,  it is Thursday and time for another Inspired Stamps DT post.  Today we were asked to create a project using monochromatic colors.  I chose pink and the Hymn Girl May stamp set with the words that come in the set: May, Flowers.  The Inspired Stamps online store now also sells Bazzill Basics Paper.  Today I chose a pink solid with dp from Vintage Marketplace.  This comes in a pack of 24 sheets of beautiful double sided paper.  Since I was going for a monochromatic look I chose this soft pink floral paper.  I stamped the Hymn Girl on white cardstock with black Memento ink and colored her with Copic markers. I wanted a very soft look.  I was trying to decide how to mount her on the card and there on my desk was a pink paint chip (I had pulled for a different project).  I added all the elements together and liked the look so I mounted the girl to the paint chip with foam adhesive and then the paint chip to the card with more foam adhesive (to cover the pink trim).  I used a punch for the label and stamped May Flowers and added a punched flower (to match the one on her dress) and popped label with foam adhesive as well.  Thank you so much for dropping by and be sure to check out all the other monochromatic projects by the Inspired Stamps DT and all the new stamps and papers in the Inspired Stamps Online store.  Remember that at the Inspired Stamps blog, Antoinette is teaching how to art journal your bible verses.  Her work is gorgeous and she has some really great tips so please check it out.
