Inspired Stamps DT Thursday

 Hello everyone.  Hope you are having a great week.  Most of you are probably getting ready for the Thanksgiving holiday. Next week the DT does not have a post due to the holiday, but today we were asked to use more than one character and to create a scene.  I used Winter Boy HLO and Winter Girl HLO, Fir trees and 1.5 inch Christmas circles sets to create my scene.  I made a 4" wide stair step card.  The back panel I stamped with two different inks the fir trees (two sizes) and then inked the background with distress inks and added white dots with a gel pen (falling snow).


W#hen I took the picture with the card sitting, the camera wanted to focus on the front, so I took a picture with card folded shut below, so you could see the different characters positions in scene.
I colored the HLO's with Copic markers and fussy cut and popped up on the card.  I embossed the white panels with snowflake embossing folder.  Hope you enjoy the DT creations today and set your eyes and mind on things above and have things to be truely thankful.

Inspired Stamps- Thursday DT

Today the Thursday DT was asked to make projects for Christmas, as was the Tuesday DT.
You can check out all projects for this week at the Inspired Stamps blog .

For this weeks post I decided to try something, thinking a "bit out of the box".  I used three different sets to complete this project, Perfect Christmas sentiments, Winter Ruth and the Nativity set.

I stacked the various Christmas sentiments to form the shape of a tree.  I stamped them in Versa mark ink and embossed with Old Olive embossing poweder on a piece of 4X4 art canvas (Hobby Lobby).  I inked with Vintage photo and walnut distress inks.  I stamped the presents and ornament on pattern paper, cut out.  I used thin strips to act as the ribbon.  I had a piece of art canvas (Dollar Tree) and covered the picture with Christmas paper.  I used Ranger Glue and Seal to attach the paper to the canvas.  I used some green paper ribbon to cover the edges and made a paper bow. I added a piece of lace on the bottom.  I really like how this piece of home decor.  Please leave me a comment, letting me know what you think and be sure to check out these sets along with many others to start on your Christmas projects.  Christmas is less than 4 months away, so it is time to get crafting (Christmas cards, gifts, home decor).  Have a great day and be sure to check out the rest of the DT and their lovely Christmas projects this week.

Do you see the present and the ornament?  I inked these to leave off the hands and then used a marker to fill in  empty space (where hands were)

Do you see the star?  I just stamped the star and colored with Copic markers and cut out.

Inspired Stamps December Release

HLO Winter Girl, Vintage Christmas, Inspired Stamps

Hello Everyone.  This week is Inspired Stamps December release week, you want to be sure to check out all the great projects made with this months newly released sets.  These stamps will be available at noon on Friday at the Inspired Stamps online store.
I made a tri-fold card and embossed it with a Sizzix flower embossing folder.  The paper is by Coordinations. I sanded the embossed image to reveal the inner core color.  I used the newly released HLO Winter Girl, I colored her with Copic markers, I chose colors that were Christmas festive, but also tried to match the core color of paper.  I used the sentiment and star image on tag from Vintage Christmas set.  I used a clear rhinestone that I colored yellow to match star.  I punched the same Coordinations (opposite side) cardstock with a SU! punch and embossed .  I embellished the card with ribbon and felt holly leaves and clear rhinestones colored with Copic markers to match core color of paper.  I just love those big, sweet eyes and the sentiment "believe".  Thank you for visiting today and please check out the other DT members beautiful projects.  Have a great day!
