Inspired Stamps Christmas Card

I made this cute little Christmas card using the Inspired Stamps Me and My House Set. It's a cute little set that includes this scripture, which I though was perfect for Christmas.


I love using red and black for Christmas Cards because it looks so crisp. I cut the mats with my Cricut, each one 1/2" smaller than the last. I think it looks really cute!

Happy Crafting,

Dollar Digi Sale!

If you are looking for the Back to School Blog Hop Day 2 post please click here!


Hi all! There is a new Dollar Digi Sale Image on the Sweet Stamping Treats Blog. This stamp will be on sale for only $1 for the next 30 days.  
Its perfect for fall, but I just couldn't use it that way. I started too, as you can see from this mostly colored image:


But then I realized my creation would look just like the others on the blog and I can't have that! So I changed it up a bit.


I cropped the photo to just have the flower from the image, and then I used it to create this fun summer time card using Echo Park's Sweet Summertime paper and a few of their stickers. I hope you like it.

Happy Crafting,

Amber

Back to School Blog hop Day 2

Welcome to day 2 of the Back to School Blog hop! If you have arrived here from Christina's blog  you are in the right place!

Today I did my science notebook! I was actually fairly good at science in school. This cut came from Cursive 101. I also though about using this beaker for some Halloween cards! I think it came out nicely. The background paper reminds me of the old nuclear symbols, so I though it was appropriate. And of course I added a little ribbon to tie it shut with.


And now for the blog candy! What blog hop would be complete with out candy? Today I'm giving away these stamps!

Back to School Blog Hop Day 1

Welcome to my blog and the back to school blog hop. If you arrived from Christina's blog you are in the right place.

I always loved to customize my books when I was a kid. I remember covering them with one of those brown bags from the grocery store and then going to town coloring on the cover. Now that I'm a grown up and I have my Cricut it's a lot less work!

I took this composition book that you can get at almost any store this time of year:
And spiced it up a little!
No one will mistake this for their math notes! I got the striped paper from a VERY old DCWV paper stack (we are talking 5 years here). and the trim piece is from a scrap of MME paper. The book stack and the word MATH are from the Hello Kitty Greetings cartridge.

And yes I do have blog candy, which I will reveal to you tomorrow (so you have to come back). But your comments today will count as an entry to win. Remember you must be a follower!

Inspired Stamps Fall Thank You Card

Well, I told you before that Inspired Stamps had some great pumpkins on their new releases, and here they are! I just love them because they are simple and you can use them in so many ways.

I did a lot of layering on this card to give it dimension, which you can see from the side view:


I pop-dotted the base under the pumpkins, then I cut out and colored the middle pumpkin and added that as an extra layer. I really like the way it looks. I hope you will check them out. These stamps are from the Fall Gratitude set that you can find in the Inspired Stamps store.
