Inspired By Stamping: Christmas Robin


Hello, my friends!  I hope that your December is going well and that you are taking it easy on yourselves!  If you've still got some holiday cards to make, I've got an easy peasy CAS holiday card that uses beautiful stamps from the Inspired By Stamping store and could be just what you're looking for!  Take a peek...


The image is from the Summer Warbler stamp set and was stamped directly onto the card base, then watercolored to look like a robin.  I added a few pearls to accent my little guy because I thought they looked kind of snowy. :)


I then created my "anchor" by stamping a sentiment from the Big Holidays stamp set onto patterned paper, layering it with another piece of patterned paper that was punched with a scallop border, and adding some ribbon from the Christmas Ribbon Collection.


This was such a super FUN card to created!  It was really very simple to make, too!  If you're looking for even less steps, you could just stamp the robin in another fun color (maybe turquoise?!) and not color him in.  I LOVE the way this turned out, and I hope you do, too!  Please leave me a comment below and let me know your opinion!


Thank you so much for stopping by today, friends!  That's all I have for you today, but I'll be back soon with more inspiration for the monthly IBSIC challenge.  Until then, HUGS and MERRY stamping, friends! :)

CutCardStock: Shaped Flower Card


Happy Wednesday, friends! :)  I'm back today with another creation using gorgeous paper from the CutCardStock online store!  Today I have a card with a 3D flower made out of different Curious Metallic paper.  Come and take a peek...


I used Curious Metallic paper in Red Lacquer, Botanic, and Super Gold to create my flower and leaves.  For a tutorial about how I made the flower, please head on over to the CutCardStock blog!



My flower is paired with a sentiment that was stamped onto Classic Crest Solar White card and then layered with more Red Lacquer Curious Metallic paper.  


These were both added to a focal panel made of more Classic Crest Solar White card and Red Lacquer Curious Metallic paper.  The focal panel was then added to a card base made of more Classic Crest Solar White card.  I think this turned out so prettily!  What is your opinion?  I'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments below!


Thank you SO MUCH for stopping by today!  I will be back later with more crafty ideas for you all.  Until then, HUGS and happy crafting, friends! :)
