Inspired Stamps Graduation Card

Hello and welcome here!  Happy May 1st!!  It's also Thursday and that means it's time for some Inspired Stamps inspiration.  This week the DT are sharing Graduation or Congratulations cards, so be sure to check them out, their links are in my sidebar.  I chose to make a Graduation card.

Card Size:  4.25" x 5.5"

I used Hymn Girls:  December and added the year using Label Maker Alphabet.  The pretty floral paper is found in the Bazzill Basics 6x6 Vintage Lace.  I stamped the Hymn Girl onto cream cardstock and added a touch of colour with Copics, and then fussy cut it out.  I added the year to the book she's holding.  I finished it with the congratulations sentiment from More Perfect Sentiments.

Inspired Stamps Wedding Card

Hello and welcome here!  It's time for some more Inspired Stamps inspiration.  This week the DT could chose between a wedding card, or a baby card.  I chose to make a wedding card.  I've been feeling a bit under the weather and it sure helps having lovely Spring weather!  I hope you're enjoying some nice weather too.

Card Size:  5" x 5"

I used 1 Corinthians 13:13 around the edge of my card and I love how it turned out.  I used plain cardstock and you could use the wedding colours to personalize it.

For the inside of the card I used 'Congratulations' from More Perfect Sentiments and the heart is from Hymn:  Mushrooms and Leaves.

It's difficult to take pictures of my card when I have a camera hog in the way!  Angel is the newest addition to our family...she's mostly white with dark patches that look like angel wings on her back.

Inspired Stamps Hymn Girl Card

Hello and welcome here!  I am really enjoying the set of Hymn Girls released by Inspired Stamps!  I love how versatile they are, you can paper piece them, or colour them, or just leave them as is.  Do you have a favourite??  This week the DT are sharing cards using the Hymn Girls, so be sure to check out what they've created!

Card Size:  4.25" x 5.5"

I used Hymn Girls:  August for the main image.  For the background behind the girl I used the dots from Background Stamps stamp set.  I paper pieced her dress and added a touch of colour to her skin, very quick and easy.  The patterned paper is from Bazzill Basics Vintage Marketplace.

It's difficult to tell from the photo but I paper pieced her head as well, I added it to the card front using foam squares.

Inside:

For the inside I used the sentiment from Spring Sketches.
