Inspired Stamps Shaped Card DT Thursday

Hello Everyone it  is DT Thursday.  This week we were asked to make a shaped card.  I thought a heart would be perfect to go with Proverbs 3:5.  I cut the heart with my Cricut machine using the Wild Card cart. I then wove the red ribbon, like stitchers in the card and tied a bow.  I stamped the verse and heat embossed with black embossing powder and added some red Prima flowers and buttons.  Very sweet and simple.  I hope you enjoy, thanks for stopping by.  Please note the September special of a free 3.99 stamp with every $25.00 you spend.  Visit the Inspired Stamps Store for choices.

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.

Inspired Stamps DT Post

Hello everyone!  Happy Thursday!  Today the Inspired Stamps DT was asked to create projects with nature stamps and scripture.  I couldn't decide what to do, so I had taken a trip with DH to the Dollar Tree and found some paper tape (used for bandaging wounds).  I had seen a tutorial back in September about making Washi tape with score tape and tissue paper.  Problem was my score tape is only 1/4 of an inch wide, but this paper tape could serve a similar medium.  It was worth the $1.00 to find out. I think it worked great.  Let me know what you think.

Inking paper tape with Distress ink.  You can make it as light or dark as you like.

I stamped the tape with images from Card Ministry Basics set.  This set has lots of sayings and some flowers, hearts and stems.  I stamped different images on each strip of tape.
I used ink to water color image.  I found this worked better than coloring with Copic markers.
So I added some ink to my non-stick matte and used my water brush to apply color to images.

I used the tape as clean stripes behind the scripture image, die cut with Spellbinder dies.
I made flowers from Kraft wrapping paper (also purchased from Dollar Tree).  The scripture
seemed perfect for a nature theme (.. I will sing for joy at the works of Your hands).  This
is an individual scripture stamp from Inspired Stamps.

This card was made with the left over strips.  I just staggered the strips and added scripture from Bind and Stitch set.
Please check out the other DT blogs to view their creations.  And be sure to check out Inspired Stamps to check out the stamps sets used

Thanks for stopping by and looking today.  Leave me a comment on what you think of this technique.  All the stamps used on the paper tape strips were from the Card Ministry Basics set, Inspired Stamps.  Have a great day!
