Inspired By Stamping: 3D Spring Project

Hi, all!  I'm back today with another project using products from Inspired By Stamping!  I've sharing a quick and easy coaster vignette using some of the NEWEST stamps!  Come and take a peek...

I started by layering cardstock and patterned paper onto three coasters.  To the middle coaster, I added some die cut pieces that were cut using the Fancy Labels 3 dies.  I stamped a sentiment from the NEW Friends stamp set (free this month with a $50 purchase) and added some rhinestones for shine.

On the two side panels, I added butterflies that were stamped onto patterned paper using the NEW Butterflies stamp set.  More rhinestones were added to these so that they would coordinate with the middle panel.  

Lastly, I used my Crop-a-dile to punch holes and add eyelets so that I could tie the panels together with some black and white stitched ribbon.  I just love the way this project turned out, and it will be going to a very special person!  What do you think?  I would love for you to leave me a comment with your thoughts! :)

I'm entering my creation into these fabulous challenges~

Great Impressions: Dog Tag...Literally!

Hi, friends!  It's time for me to share another creation using fabulous stamps from the Great Impressions online store! Today I have a cute tag to share--it's a DOG TAG! I don't usually make tags, but this stamp just needed to become one. :)  Come and take a peek...

I started by stamping F296 Dog Square onto some white card.  I colored in the different panels using Sakura glitter gel pens for shine.  I used primary colors for a fun, bold, and bright look.

I added the panel to a tag that was made using patterned paper and black card.  The top was gussied up with some yellow frilly ribbon, baker's twine, and a glittery red foam heart.  An eyelet at the top of the tag helps to keep the tag intact.

I just adore the way this turned out!  I think it's just super darling and fun!  What do you think?  I would love for you to let me know by leaving a comment below!

That's all for me today!  I'll be back next Monday with another creation using stamps from the Great Impressions store.  I hope you join in our current challenge, and, if you use Great Impressions stamps, link them up in our Customer Gallery, too!  HUGS and happy stamping to you all!

Baby Banner

Hi, friends!  I've made some fun banners over the last few months and am just now finding the time to blog about them.  First up is a banner I made for a friend who had a surprise miracle baby back in September.  Take a peek!

I decided to use a deep pink cardstock from Stampin' Up! for the POP of color and then kept it simple with kraft and black patterned paper from The Paper Studio.  I alternated patters and kept spaces between the names layered with punched pieces.  The pink hearts were dry embossed for some added texture.

I strung the whole thing with eyelets to reinforce the holes and some baker's twine.  Small flowers from Wild Orchid and liquid pearls by Ranger accented the letters (cut out with my Silhouette) of her name--Karlee Grace.  So sweet!

My friend has this banner hanging over her daughter's crib and I hope it lasts for quite some time!  I tried to make it less babyish so that it could grow with her.  All punches, dies, and embossing tools used are from Stampin' Up!.

That's all for me today!  I hope you liked taking a peek at my baby banner--I'll be back with another one tomorrow of a different variety!  Thanks for stopping by--I hope you join in the fun challenges I'm linking with, too!  HUGS and happy stamping to you all!

Snowman Soup!

Hi, friends! :)  It's getting down to the last few days before Christmas, and if you're a teacher or a parent or a friend looking for a fun little gift to give a large group of people, I have an idea for you!  It was all inspired by THIS SET from Deedee's Digis.  This is what this gift includes...

This image and the poem that go along with it explain the contents of this little treat bag.  The bags were found at the Dollar Tree, so this gift really doesn't cost too much for a large group of people!  And the tags were pretty easy to make, too.  This project took me about 3 hours to complete--but I made lots of these.  I laminated them so they could be used as "ornaments", but you don't have to do this and it would take less time. :)

Here's a quick peek at what it looks like all packaged up.  Weren't these fun snowman bags a great find?!  They are just perfect!

Thank you so much for stopping by to take a peek at my creation!  I hope you've been inspired to create something fun today and to use your talents to make gifts for your loved ones!  I also hope you join in the fun challenges I am entering--see the list below my signature!  HUGS and happy stamping!

Inspired By Stamping: October Release + Stocking Banner

I am SUPER excited to share with you my latest creation using NEW stamps from the Inspired By Stamping store today!  We're sharing our creations using the new Build a Stocking stamp set today, and I decided to make a fun bunting using not just the stamp set, but also the Build a Stocking cut files that coordinate with the stamp images!  Come take a peek at it hanging on my armoire...

Isn't it cute?!  I loved making it and the cut files make it SO easy to create the darling stockings!  That was actually my first step--using the Build a Stocking cut files to cut out all the stockings and toppers.

After I cut all the stockings, I glued the tops onto them and started making the individual embellishments.  This was done by using the Build a Stocking stamp set to stamp the small images onto white card, punching them out, layering them onto a glitter paper scallop mat, and adding a small rhinestone in the center of each one.

The last step was to add the grommets and then lace the stockings through some fun stitched black ribbon.  I chose black to highlight and accentuate the jewel tones of the glitter paper I used and the colors I stamped the images from the Build a Stocking set with as well.

That was it!  It was such a fun project to create and so easy to duplicate!  Take one last look at it hanging before you leave...

That's all for me today!  I hope you take a chance to go and grab our newest release from the store and, if you spend $50, you will get a free stamp set!  Also, come and join in the fun of our current challenge, too!  If you use products from the Inspired By Stamping store, link them up in the Customer Gallery as well!  HUGS and happy stamping to you all!
