Inspired Stamps Christmas Cards: 3 Different Ways.

For this set of cards I made for the Insprired Stamps design team, I used the faux paper quilting technique by cutting up one inch strips of paper and adhering them down to scrap paper, then cut them the opposite way on your paper trimmer to make strips of squares.  Adhere the strips down to your card base to make a quilting pattern.  Super easy and it takes about 10 mins.  The hardest part is picking what paper scrap you want to use, promise!  I did some super easy quick Copic coloring; I chose the Let it Snow snowman for these cards because there isn't much at all to color.  Besides some light stamping, coloring, and use of some hints of embellishments, there isn't much to these cards. Primarily CAS and totally cute for the holiday!  If you give this technique a whirl, please make sure to come back and link me up, I'd love to see them!

Happy Birthday, Inspired Stamps!

Inspired Stamps turned TWO yesterday, and to celebrate the design team made birthday cards! I used my highly favored Butterflies and Blooms stamp set along with the Perfect Sentiments birthday stamp.  I didn't quite center it so I could write the date and name of the person whose birthday it was in the ledger from the October Afternoon paper pad.

Season's Greetings

For this card I wanted to play in two different challenges and still keep it a Gaby original. :) I stamped the snow flakes in white distress stain, which I highly recommend! A much easier clean up than most white inks or paints. Then for the blue I used some Echo Park dots paper and colored the scarf on the adorable raccoon with different Copic blue shades. To keep is CAS I left everything else open and added a banner with a sentiment from Lawn Fawn with a little blue gem ...for just a touch more blue!
