Inspired by Stamping

Inspired by Stamping Featured in the Paper and Pixels Magazine!

Happy Monday! I am so excited to share with you that Inspired by Stamping is featured this month in the latest Paper and Pixels Magazine! Here is the front cover…

Here are the cards that you will find in the latest issue!

I made three cards for this month’s magazine. The first one features the Vintage Postcard and Mason Jars Add-On II stamp sets.

I stamped my postcard image with Brown Ink. A little sneak peek of ribbon was added and some Inspired by Stamping Crochet Trim.

I fussy cut my sentiment and frame and then attached it under my bow.

I then colored my daisy with red ink and added two yellow flowers to the edges.

My second card features a big newspaper flower and the Mason Jar Add-On II stamp set.

Here is a close up of my flower. I used all sorts of different dies and punches. Next, I distressed the edges of each flower petal with Antique Distress ink.

I then added some Cream Crochet Fabric Tape and some White Seam Binding Ribbon. The sentiment fits perfectly in the SU! Oval Punch!

My last card features the Mason Jar and Mason Jar Add-Ons II and Butterfly Wings stamp sets.

I used some Rose Seam Binding Ribbon and a White and Pink Medium Flower. I then fussy cut three butterflies and attached rhinestones to the centers.

I used some Cream Crochet Fabric Tape around the border of my Mason Jar to create some adorable trim. Along the bottom, I used some Scallop Border Crochet Trim and stitched it to my card.

I hope you enjoyed the cards today! Now hop on over and purchase your issue of the Paper and Pixels magazine filled with lots of inspiration.

Halloween Labels

The first project that I want to share with you features the Halloween Labels! This 6x8 stamp set is filled with spooky labels and sentiments! Perfect for all your Halloween decoration and party needs!

I grabbed these old medicine bottles that I have had for a few years and decorated them with different Halloween paper, stamps and décor.

I grabbed some old spider rings from a Halloween party that we had a few years ago and attached them to each bottle with some glue.

A new Orange Flower available at the Inspired by Stamping Store!

I tied a few bottles with some packaging twine! I used Echo Park Halloween Paper with these bottles.

My next project again features the new Halloween Labels available Sept. 14th! For this project, I bought a canvas for $3 and decorated it.

Cream Crochet Fabric Tape was used along the center of the canvas to separate the different papers! All the paper I used was from My Mind’s Eye Halloween Collection.

I glued a strip of Crochet Trim to the bottom of the canvas. 2 orange flowers were dusted with gray distress ink to make them spooky!

New Brown Satin Ribbon will be available on Sept 14th! This Chocolate Ribbon matched perfectly with my paper and details.

2 double bows were added to the corner of my canvas. Another peaky from this set is the “Happy Halloween” sentiments. I created a tag with it and distressed it to make it look old and dusty.

Pumpkin Faces

Pumpkin Faces is the second stamp set to feature today! This 4x4 set was a blast to create with lots of laughs from my kids. I made this banner to go in the kitchen! It brings such a smile to my face!

I used the Stampin Up! pennant die cut to cut out each pennant and with Echo Park Halloween paper.

I then use a scallop circle and regular circle Spellbinder Die for each center image.

Some chipboard letters colored with a Black Copic Marker was adhered at the bottom of each pennant.

To adhere the pieces together, I used some NEW Black Seam Binding Ribbon and White Crochet Fabric Tape. This adhered the pennant perfectly to the ribbon. I then added some new Inspired by Stamping Flowers!

Fancy Sentiments

My last two cards features the Fancy Sentiments 4x6 stamp set!

I paired up my sentiment with the Fancy Labels 18 stamp set. The Fancy Labels work beautifully with this new stamp set!

I also used some White Seam Binding ribbon available next month, Inspired by Stamping Crochet Trim, Mixed Flowers and some buttons and rhinestones!

My last card today again features the Fancy Labels 18 stamp set and Fancy Sentiments too.

I cut out my paper using the Labels 2 dies. I then cut out a circle in the center of my pattern paper and lifted it using dimensionals. I loved the frame look that this created for my sentiment.

New Brown Satin Ribbon was used to make this adorable double bow. I then placed a White Daisy flower on my bow.

I hope you enjoyed today’s creations using the NEW September release items! The design team has some amazing and spooky creations to share with you today!

A CAS Card for Monday and Photos of Our Weekend

As we jump start our week, I thought I would share with you a CAS card. This card was super simple and fun!

Are you a follower Inspired by Stamping Facebook page? Get latest information, archived cards and a little what’s happening with me. I had such a blast yesterday with the family! The photo of Brad and I was a hoot! We had to take that one at least 6 times and was just cracking up laughing! I have a few shares at the bottom of my post of our day yesterday. I hope you enjoy!

I used a 4-1/4 x 5-1/2 size white card base to begin my card. I then stamped the "postcard” sentiment from Vintage Postcard stamp set.

2 Cherry Blossom flowers, 2 White Rose Buds, a Pink Rose buds and some leaves created this lovely bouquet of flowers. I then took a strip of Crochet Fabric Tape and adhered the flowers to the card. A cute pink button just created that little extra something.

This lovely sentiment comes from the Cherish stamp set. I then rounded the corners and distressed the edges with brown ink.

Yesterday was Father’s Day here in Australia. We headed to the beach and had a picnic lunch with the kids. It was beautiful weather and a fun family day hanging out with the most important people in my life.

Queensland, Australia Father’s Day

I was taking photos and my goof ball family stuck their heads out at me while taking this photo. So funny!

The Great Barrier Reef with lots of coral, fish and oysters! We saw a reef shark and a huge crab that I was too chicken to get a photo of.

While driving home, two kangaroos jumped out in front of us. One had a joey inside her pouch and ran away. The other one stopped and kept grazing and eating grass. I was able to get this photo of it before it hopped away.

The first kangaroo before she hopped away.

A Happy Birthday Clean and Simple Card

It’s a CAS (clean and simple) week here! And today, I have a birthday card for a little boy.

I used some IBS Red Polka Dots Washi Tape and some other Washi from my stash. I then added some hemp twine with a bow. Three little yellow brads were added to the corner.

I stamped my Fancy Labels 3 stamp set in Red and cut it out using a Spellbinders Die. I then cut out my “Happy Birthday” sentiment from Kids Fun using a slightly smaller die. I then lifted it using some dimensionals.

Tomorrow, Irit has a fabulous Whoo Hoo Wednesday Tutorial for us. I will see you tomorrow! Thanks for stopping by friends!

I was able to get all the orders shipped today. Yay! Thank you so much for all your support and orders! Please remember that shipping usually takes 7-10 business days.

The last few weeks, my family and I have all gotten the horrible flu. My turn was this weekend. It was so wonderful to be sitting in my craft room today and be up and about again. I seem to tire easy still. So I made a little CAS card.

• I used the Delicate Doilies II and Vintage Sayings stamp sets with this orange and blue card.
• The Delicate Doilies II border works beautifully with the New Washi Tape.
• I stamped three sentiments together and then punched it out using an SU! 2-1/2” circle punch.
• Spellbinders Labels 4 and 11 added additional layering to my CAS card.

NEW! Scallop Border Crochet Trim that will be available tomorrow added a touch of whimsy to the top of my card. I also used IBS cherry blossoms, White Rose Buds and 2 Tiny Green Leaves.

Here is a close up of my Mason Jar. I stamped the background using the Basic Background I Stamp Set and then added some Glitter to the center to. I tied some hemp twine around my jar and added this sentiment. The sentiment fit perfectly inside a SU! Oval punch.

I cut the NEW! Victorian Crochet Trim as banners and adhered it with some tape. I then added 2 Dark Blue Medium IBS Flowers to the center.

My last card features a cute little baby boy card. Even though I don’t have a little one to send this too, I just love how the Mason jar can also be added to a baby card. :)

I used the Oh, Baby! stamp set for my “Welcome” sentiment.

I used some Scallop Crochet Trim, Blue Floral Washi Tape and Princess Crochet Trim! All NEW in the store tomorrow! :) I stamped my Mason Jar on Yellow Card Stock and then cut the lid out. I lifted my pennant with dimensionals so that it sat on top of my ribbon.

i just love washi! so many different colors and patterns!

Laura J, Please email me with your choice of tape and I will send this to you ASAP! Thank you! Joanna

This month we are featuring all the sets on each day. So my first CAS card uses the Mason Jar Add On II! I love this set with its sweet sentiments and labels.

I used Pink Gingham and Pink Floral Washi Tape. I love this close up of how beautiful the two colors coordinate together. I also used a smaller strip of Crochet Fabric Tape.

I used some Melissa Frances polka dot paper and a Spellbinder Lacey Square Die for my center. I then cut out my label and lifted it using some dimensionals. A pink and 2 light yellow flowers were added to the corner for some extra glam.

My second card features the new Mason Jar stamp set and Mason Jar Add On II.

I gently colored my Mason Jar using Copic Markers. Crochet Fabric Tape takes center stage again with some glam on my Mason jar with some IBS flowers .

“With Love” sentiment is from the NEW Mason Jar Add On II! I then added a strip of Red Polka Dot Washi Tape and a strip of Crochet Fabric Tape. A gorgeous White Seam Binding bow was added with a blue button and a rhinestone.

My last project today was one that I shared yesterday on the video featuring the Spice Jar Stamp Set we are releasing on Friday. It’s one of my favorites and I am redoing my spice jar with these sweet labels.

This set fits perfect in a Spellbinders Labels 18 die. I dressed it up using some of the Red Gingham Washi Tape.

I hope you are ready to be even more inspired by this month’s release! The amazing design team have some amazing and beautiful projects to share with you! I invite you to hop on over to see!
