Inspired Stamps: Christmas!

Good Tuesday, bloggers! Did you know it's just a little under four months till Christmas? Crazy, right? I've decided to make a bunch of different Christmas cards this year to keep things festive. Well that and I'm a full time wife and college student who doesn't have a lot of down time. I also happen to make a lot of design team Christmas cards. Which is fine by me, I love Christmas cards! I figure at the end of November I'll have more than enough cards to send off to loved ones for Christmas. Kind of cool to have a bunch of different handmade cards to send off. We usually tuck a picture inside, too.

For this card I embossed the snowflakes from the Let it Snow stamp set from Inspired stamps in clear embossing powder on white paper. Then I went over the snow flakes with different blue distress inks for an ombre look. Then I free hand cut two snow hills and embossed the sentiment in blue on one of the hills. Lastly I Copic colored the snowman and made him a pouf ball out of Divine Twine Christmas twine for the top of his hat. I really like how it turned out and will have a hard time deciding which home he'll go to this Christmas ....but I still have time to figure that out! :)  Make sure to stop by the Inspired Stamps Blog and see all the beautiful creations the rest of the design team has waiting for you!

GSS: American Crafts

For the Harry Potter Stamp Set Giveaway please click here.

Happy Friday, bloggers! Today I've created a card that showcases some American Crafts goodness for Ginger Snap Scraps. I also used some Lawn Fawn, Studio Calico, and Copic too. I didn't have a reverse corner chomper, so I used a circle punch to make the design on the edges.

Inspired Stamps: Character with Scripture

For the Harry Potter Giveaway please click here.

Good Tuesday, bloggers! Just a note that Tuesdays will be my new day for posting for the Inspired Stamps design team. :) OK so for this week's Tuesday post we were asked to make cards with a character and scripture. I used Esther's Bouquet for my character and colored her with Copics, and used the scripture from the new set Thank You. I also added the little birdie from the new set and placed him on a pop dot in Esther's lap. I added a bow, a nestabilities embossed die cut, a Martha Stewart border punched strip, and three self stick pearl accents.
