Inspired Stamps Hymn Girls Card

Hello and welcome here!  This week the Inspired Stamps DT are sharing cards made with the Hymn Girls, and there are lots to choose from so it was a difficult decision as to what one I wanted to use.

Card Size:  4.25" x 5.5"

I used Inspired Stamps Hymn Girls:  March and Psalm 62:1.  I coloured the girl with Copics and stamped the verse directly on to the card front.

Inside:

I used the same stamp for the inside and left it blank.  Once in a while it's nice to have a blank card to write your own message.

Skin - E000, E00

Dress - B34, B37, B39

Cross - E23, E25, E27

Shoes - B37, B39

Inspired Stamps Love Card

Hello and welcome here!  We've had a bit of a cold snap here in Manitoba but yesterday the kids could finally go outside for recess.  The windchill has been so cold the past couple of weeks that exposed skin freezes in minutes.  Hopefully you're keeping warm where you are!  This week the Inspired Stamps DT are sharing Love cards.

Card Size:  4.25" x 5.5"

I used the stamp 1 Corinthians 13:13 and I thought it would be great for a wedding card.  I cut the heart out first and then embossed the heart shaped, I then stamped the verse and added a ribbon and pearls to finish it off.

Inside:

For the inside I used the 'Congratulations' from the More Perfect Sentiments stamps set.

Recipe: Inspired Stamps SS-1 Corinthians 13:13 & More Perfect Sentiments, PP-BoBunny Passion Fruit Dot, CTMH White Daisy CS, CTMH Ink-Black, Spellbinders-Vines of Passion Die D-Lites, Celebrate It 3/8" White Organza Ribbon, Foam Squares, Pearls, EK Success 1/2" Corner Rounder.

Card Size:  4.25" x 5.5"

I used the 'Joy to the World' sentiment from the Christmas Sentiments stamp set.  I embossed a white piece of cardstock and matted it with blue, I then punched out 3 snowflakes and added a rhinestone to the middle.

Inside:

For the inside of my card I used the same Christmas Sentiments stamp set.  The boy is His Little Ones:  Winter Boy.

Inspired Stamps Christmas Gift

Hello and welcome here!  It's time for some inspiration from Inspired Stamps.  This week the DT are sharing Gifts using Inspired Stamps stamps.  I'm sharing a Scripture Holder.

Giant Clothespin:  1" x 4.5"

I found the clothespins already painted in the Michaels $1.50 bins.  I then covered the front and back with patterned paper (great use for those scraps!).   I cut and embossed 2 cream cardstock pieces with Spellbinders Gold Labels 4, I stamped my verses on them and then glued them together, back to back.  You could make a few different ones and tie them with a bow so that the person who receives it can switch verses as needed.

Romans 8:28

Matthew 4:4

Recipe:  Inspired Stamps SS-Matthew 4:4 & Romans 8:28, PP-My Mind's Eye Howdy Dowdy Lovely Wallpaper Paper & PP-My Mind's Eye Notable "Love This" Devoted Paper, Bazzil CS-cream, Spellbinders-Gold Labels 4, Joy Crafts Frame 6002/0258, Michaels Embellishment Felt Flowers, Michaels Giant Clothespin, CTMH Ink-Black, Black Rhinestones.

I make Christmas cards for a local Craft Sale and I try to keep them fairly clean and simple so that I can charge $1.  I thought I would share a couple of ones I made this year.  

I made these a couple of months ago and didn't keep track of exactly what paper I used because I didn't plan on posting them, but as time ran out this month I thought they would be perfect for the Anything Christmas challenge. (and save myself extra work in the process.)
