Hello and welcome here!  It's certainly time for those who make cards to be thinking of Christmas card ideas and I'm sharing one today using Inspired Stamps stamps.

I used the stamp set Vintage Christmas.   It's difficult to see but I used an oval diffuser and then embossed an oval die.  I then used foam squares to add the image.

Hello and welcome here!  We just celebrated Thanksgiving here in Canada yesterday!  It's hard to believe we are almost half way through the month of October.  And at the end of October we have Halloween, the Cuttlebug Mania Challenge this fortnight is using the colours Black & Orange.  Don't forget to use your Cuttlebug!

Card Size:  4.25" x 5.5"
Halloween is not a big card giving time around here, so I chose to make a masculine card using Black & Orange.  I had fun coming up with this one.  I love how the white pops against the dark background.  I coloured some glitter paper with Copics to make them orange and black for a couple of the stars.

I started with bronze coloured glitter paper and used Copic Marker YR07 for the orange star and 100 for the black star.

Inspired Stamps Bless the Lord... Card

Hello and welcome here!  It's been a bit of a break for the Inspired Stamps Design Team but we're back with you today to share some inspiration.  It's Anything Goes for us here and I thought I would share a card expressing joy.

Card Size:  4.25" x 5.5"
I used Hymn Girls:  June for the image, I chose her because her outstretched arms appear to be praising God...which goes perfectly with the scripture Psalm 103:4.  I coloured the image with Copics.


Inside:
It's not often I leave the inside without a sentiment but felt that this one works without it.

Recipe:  Inspired Stamps SS-Hymn Girls:  June & Psalm 103:1, PP-Echo Park Fine & Dandy 6x6, CTMH CS-White Daisy & Twilight, CTMH Ink-Black, Frantic Stamper Elemental #7 Coved Labels, Foam Squares, Rhinestones, Ombre Ink Pad Pool to Navy, Copics Skin-E000, E00, R12, Dress-R81, R83, R85, Background-W00, W0, W1, Shadow-N1.
