Yummy cake

This cute image is from Phindy's Place. I am trying to clean up my craft desk and use up scraps. This uses some Stampin Up DSP and papers. The image has liquid pearls on the edge.  It is for Phindy's Place challenge to use 1 image, 2 DSPs and 3 embellishments. I count the buttons and not the ribbon.

Inspired Stamps

 This week the Inspired Stamps DT was challenged to create anything but a card. I found this wonderful cross at Michaels. I painted it white than stamped flourishes from Fruitful Flourishes and hearts from Butterflies and Blooms. This is one of my favorite scriptures. It is something I need to be constantly reminded of so thought this would be good to have in my craft room. It is Philip 4:13.

Grace

 Welcome to Inspired Stamps Thursday. This week we got to pick what we wanted to create using Inspired Stamps. I choose my new favorite set called Amazing Grace. I just love the scripture verses in this set along with the background stamps. The light blue heart has the splatter from Amazing Grace and flourish from Fruitful Flourishes. The hearts have liquid pearls around them.
Here is the inside of the card. I used the saying from Scenic View and the flourish is from Amazing Grace. I have to confess that the flourish is hiding an ink spot that got on the card.

Inspired Stamps Release Day 1

 Welcome to Inspired Stamps release Day 1. Be sure to check the blog, later on today for a chance to win this set. I am sharing this amazing new set called Amazing Grace. I just love all the stamps so had to create a couple cards. The first show the great big stamp that can be used alone or as a background stamp as I did in the second card. Sorry for the off color photos still dealing with health issues so went with non fuzzy photos. The heart is from Butterflies & Blooms.
My second card, I went with more of a masculine feel. I just love that border stamp in the set. I stamped it 3 times to create the border. The saying is on canvas that I hand cut out and matted.
