Bearing with me

Hi All
Welcome to Inspired Stamps DT Thursday. This week we were asked to make a Thanks or Thankful card. I choose to use one of my favorite sets.  It is called  Bears All Things . The words are Thanks for Bearing with me. I added glossy accents to the words. The base is grey. I kept the bear simple by just added viva decor to the red.

USS Mazapeta

I am borrowing a Cricut from my friend Diane. I used it for the anchor and stars which is from Stand & Salute cartridge. The letters are from Storybook cartridge. The photos are from a summer trip my husband took with some teenagers this summer. It is for Fantabaulous Cricut Challenge which is to be inspired by Olympics.

Inspired Stamps August Release

 

It is release week at Inspired Stamps.  I am so exicited to share Thinking of you. This set has so many different verses and a couple flowers. Here I stamped the flower on crepe paper than hand cut it out. I cut one a little smaller to create the layers. The flower was stamped on card base using a light blue ink. Make sure to head over to the Inspired Stamps blog for a chance to win. All the new sets will be available on Saturday.

I am so excited to share that I get to stay on the Inspired Stamps Team. We are welcoming 4 new amazing members. Make sure to check out the Inspired Stamps Blog.  This week we are sharing our style. My style tends toward clean and simple. I like to focus on the stamps and use a few embellishments. I used HLO praying girl and Fruitful Flourishes.

Inspired Stamps

This week the Inspired Stamps DT was to use a character. There are so many cute characters at Inspired Stamps. I choose my favorite one, HLO girl studying. This one reminds me of my daughter. I choose to do something different for me which was not to color her. I paired it with John 1:1. I am sharing both cards. The first card is the one that I like most. The second one I liked the layout but it was hard to read the saying and image. Just goes to show you that not always my first try works. The first card uses black and a darker green ink to show case the image and saying.

Gremlin

I have been having fun playing with the Distress Markers that I just got. I used SU kraft resit paper and colored it. The ribbon was done with markers. I love the effect. The ribbon was ivory to start with. This image is from Phindy's Place for this weeks button challenge.
