New Inspired Stamp Releases!

I love new stamp releases! It's so much fun to have new stamps to create with.  Inspired Stamps has new 2x2 scripture stamps and more today.  I am sharing the new single scripture stamp- Romans 5:1. I also included the June Hymn Girl and a wing from Hymn: Wings and Feathers.

Be sure to take a look at all the other new stamps used by the Design Team at the IS Blog.

Graduation Rosettes w/Cricut Explore

My crafty friend Colleen at Col's Creative Corner posted an adorable centerpiece and tutorial using rosettes for NSD and then challenged others to post a rosette project for a chance at a prize. Thank you Colleen for doing that because it kicked my rear into gear to start on the decor for my youngest son's HS graduation party next month.

This is the result-4 fairly large rosettes to hang on the mantel..  They are shown hanging from my kitchen drawers so you can tell they aren't little.  I used my wonderful Cricut Explore to cut everything and it even scored the rosettes for me-what an amazing time saver.  I love rosettes but always hated scoring them so rarely made any.  The scoring stylus for the Explore made these easy peasy to do.  Can't wait to celebrate!

Scrapbook Page with Inspired Stamps

I have been making scrapbook pages like crazy to have for display at this little guy's high school graduation. Yes, my cute little rocker dude, the youngest of our 3 sons will soon be on his way in this world! I have kept the pages fairly simple and for this one I used 2 Inspired Stamps stamp sets.  For the title, I used the versatile Colorable Alphabet stamps. For a bit of texture, I used pop dots to pop up the "y' and "o".   I created my own background on the Bazzil Card stock with the bubble wrap stamp from the fun Background Stamps set.

Inspired Stamps Grad Card

I created this card for our youngest son who will graduate from High School in June.  The other 2 graduated in 2012 and 2005 from the same high school.  It is amazing to me how quickly the years have flown by and we will be sending our youngest baby bird out of the nest!

I used one of the owls again from the Inspired Stamps Owls set and colored him in the school colors.  The sentiments are from the same stamp set.  The globe is from the Hymn: Earth and Weather Stamp Set and the scripture is from the versatile His Plans Set. All cardstock is by Bazzill and I used the fun new Tim Holtz mini ink pads.  Both can be found on the Inspired Stamps website now.

Inspired Stamps Baby Card

Today we were asked to do an Inspired Stamps wedding or baby card. I had planned on doing a wedding card until my son and daughter-in-love shared some amazing news with us...they're having their first baby and I'm going to be a "Mimi" by Christmas!!! WOO HOO!!!!

OK, back to the card-this will be sent to the mommy and daddy-to-be to congratulate them on the news!

For the sweet owl family, I used the versatile Owls stamp set
 and for the sentiment, the multi-functional More Perfect Sentiments. Now excuse me while I go start turning the guest room into a grandbaby nursery-lol!

Inspired Stamps Thursday

I just can't get enough of the new Hymn Girls stamps from Inspired Stamps.  Today, I used March Hymn Girl again and colored her with Copics.  The other 2 stamps are from the Flowers Value Pack and His Word.  Papers are from Bazzil and can be purchased at the Inspired Stamps on-line store.  If you have left a comment in the last 2 weeks, be sure to check the Inspired Stamps Blog after noon on Thursday, April 10 to see if you are one of our winners,.
