Inspired Stamps DT Thursday

 Hello, Happy Thursday.  It is Spring break here in my neck of the woods.  It has been a nice restful week.  I have had lots of time to be creative.  I have seen these screen cards and I wanted to try it.  I thought for today's theme of scripture this would be a great card.
This would be so encouraging for the recipient to display on their desk and remind them of how God uses their trials to produce endurance and that He uses all things for our good.  I know this is a great encouragement to me.  I embossed the panels and added some die cut leaves, that I water colored and then added Ranger rock candy.  It leaves a nice cracked finish.  I added punched flowers with pearl centers and some vellum butterflies with pearl middles.  This card would fold up and fit into a standard size envelope.
This is definitely one I will be creating again.  The scripture stamps are 2 X 2 individual scripture stamps from Inspired Stamps which can be purchased at the Etsy store.
Remember to check out the other DT projects and leaves some words of kindness.  We love to hear from you.  Remember the 31 days of March bible journaling is still taking place.  Visit the Inspired Stamps blog for the link to learn more about journaling in your bible.
Have a great week and create something and encourage someone.  Thanks for stopping by.

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.

Unity: Friday Friends With Flair

Hello Friends with Flair.  Has everyone survived this week with all the new snow and in some places ice?
I needed a baby girl card for some friends who were just blessed with their new addition to their family.  I like this set by Unity: Time and Season with the birds and the quote by Charles Dickens (Nature gives to every time and season some beauties of it's own) for new babies.  This family has an older boy and now three girls, so I colored the smaller birds to match their family and the larger bird I imagine is the mommy bird, daddy is away getting food or something.  With all the dreary winter landscape I decided to do something a bit more bright and full of life because isn't that what a new baby is all about?  Bringing new life and brightness (joy)  into our lives?  I colored the image with Copic markers and matted on a pink layer.  I punched a flower (EK Success) and added some leaves (McGill). I also added a yellow strip punched with the Martha Stewart border punch and placed it behind the image.  I added a sentiment inside:  Look who's here! Congratulations.
Update:  I have been sending cards out on a pretty regular basis, but I do not think I will reach 365 for the year unless we can count Christmas cards.  I hope you are also taking up this challenge and spreading some joy by sending your handmade creations to those who may need a blessing.
Have a great weekend.  Stay warm.
