Challenges Entered:

• Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Keep It Clean and Simple

Inspired Stamps Design Team: Scripture.

Good Thursday, bloggers! For this card I used one of the older but awesome stamp sets, Psalm 91 Protection. I made this card to add to my Any Hero card stack for when I send off my annual parcel to Operation Write Home. However, this would be a great stamp to use for a card to send to anyone who needs extra encouragement to know that they're being watched over and protected. Hope you like it, and be sure to drop by the Inspired Stamps blog to see all the other different styles the DT created with various Scripture Stamps this week!

CAS-ual Fridays: Text Me

Good Sunday, bloggers. I got frustrated while writing an essay last night and needed to clear my head. What better way than to make a card? Here's what I came up with for the text challenge at CAS-ual Fridays. I die cut the piece in the center and used both the die cut and the negative with a bit of pop dots. For the die cut I stamped the Hero Art's newspaper stamp with Versa Mark and heat embossed white embossing powder on it. Then I ran some Tim Holtz distress ink for a little stamp resist action. Once it was set into place on the Kraft base I added some vintage 1950's Scrabble pieces and a wood veneer heart from Studio Calico that I colored red with a Copic marker. And that is how I got all texty with it!

Celebrate the Red, White, and Bl-ewe!

 Happy fourth of July week, American bloggers! I made this card with the holiday in mind for the Simon Says Stamp Patriotic challenge and then I added dimension for the Lawnscaping Dimension Challenge. I hadn't used any punny goodness for a while, so I was super happy when I came up with this one! :) The black frame was cut and embossed for extra dimension with a Nestabilities die, the sheep are on pop dots, as is the banner. I used the little tiny star from the Critters Ever After set to make blue and red stars on the middle ewe with Tim Holtz distress inks. Hope you like it and I hope you have a lovely fourth of July! :)

Another from the new Ginger Snap Scraps Card Kit!

Good Tuesday, bloggers! My husband put up the awesome cubby shelf (pictures to come soon) he bought me for my birthday above my craft nook today. I was organizing all my things to see what would go up into it. Some of my inks, ribbons, and of course my paints and mists. Then a light bulb went off in my head ...the die cut that comes free with the Ginger Snap Scraps card kit would make a great mask for mists! I put some ATG tape on the back then stuck it to my jeans a couple times to make it less tacky. I adhered it to piece of white cardstock and misted it lightly. I cut strips of the Indie Chic paper pad and adhere them to the Bazzill yellow cardstock, then adhered it to the Kraft card base. I die cut the misted cardstock with a nestability and wrapped the three twines around it and tied it in a bow. Then adhered Kimono Marci with pop dots in the center over the twine.

Hope you like it and it gives you a little inspiration for the kit if you're interested. Thanks so much for stopping by my blog today!

Inspired Stamps DT: Red, White & Blue!

Good Thursday bloggers! Today's post for the Inspired Stamps design team is all about the red, the white, and the blue! Inspired Stamps is a huge supporter of Operation Write Home and I hope you'll think about making an Any Hero card or two and send them in! OWH just put out a distress call on Facebook for the need of Any Hero cards, so I decided to make another card with a hero in mind! Inspired Stamps has some beautiful stamps made especially for the military in mind that would be great for making an Any Hero card. For my card I used two different Inspired Stamps sets: For the little Soldier/Marine I used His Little Ones: soldier with helmet and for the stars at the bottom I used Psalm 91 Protection.

Thank you so much for stopping by my blog today! Be sure to stop by the Inspired Stamps Blog and check out this week's beautiful creations by the other members of the design team!
