Here is my sample for it:

I used the Danke für Alles Stamp Set to create the background and the border for the photo matting.For the title I used the Splash Me a Lot Stamp Set and outlined the letters with a black Pen.

Happy Creating

I used the Wishing you Sunshine Stampset – and stamped the sun on my accordian style folded paper strip and heat embossed it. I used a metallic box which I had painted and then sanded again to release the embossed pattern before and then attached the folded paper strip inside.

I had used the “Splash Me a Lot” Alpha-Stampset for the Birthday wishes.

Wishing you a wonderful day with a little bit of sunlight

I love the Tree for all Seasons’ Stamp Set and it makes a perfect Set to create a gift for a friend.

I used four minicanvases and stamped the tree and the different leaves on top and then used Perfect Pearls and Stickels to add some dimension and oompfh.

In any event I wish you a wonderful and relaxed holiday season!!!!

For this card that is for our friends we recently did a roadtrip with I used the wonderful and versatile mSB Road Trip Stampset.

Here is how I created the card:

All you need is some paper that fits your theme, the mSB Road Trip Stampset, Distress ink, Distress Powder and Kraftpaper.

I stamped with yellow Distress Ink onto Kraftpaper since I worked with Distress Embossing Powder later on.

Shake the bottle with the Distress Powder well, so that the release particles inside are mixed into the powder.Shake the Powder on top of the still wet stamped image. Put excess powder back into container.

I used the Distress Powder and in this color because it symbolizes the desert that we drove through with our friends during our roadtrip from LasVegas to the Grand Canyon, through Monument Valley to Arches, Bryce and Zion Nationalpark.  Heat with a Heating Gun.

Rub with your finger over the embossed image to rub off the release particles.

This actually is the part where it becomes distressed – but as we stamped in beforehand with the colored Distress Ink the Writing is still readable. Do not put the release particles back into the container as this would mess up the ratio in the container.

Choose a picture that goes with your theme. I chose one of all four of us and printed it out in index-print size so that I could attach the photo behind the windshiled of the car.

For some extra dimension I attached the car with 3-D Foam.

I also used the tag and the Par Avion stamp from the mSB Road Trip Stampset.

I used the Handle with care stamp from the set to stamp a border.

And there you go…your personalized card is ready to go. I will send out mine to our friends with a CD of our pictures from the trip and I’m sure they will laugh at the personalized card with our photo inside

Have fun to personalize your cards too!

As you can see this layout does not include a picture- but that is the fun about it, isn’t it? I wanted to create kind of like a motivating poster, For the walking girl I cut out a silhouette from a magazine and used it twice as a mask with Glimmer Mist and watersoluble Crayons. I stamped the title by using the Splash Me a Lot Alphabet. I stamped the letters on a kraft cardstock and cut the letters out. I used the Wishing you Sunshine Stamps with those lovely clouds. As you can see on the top I cut two of the clouds and used them to the left and right of the paper so the clouds look as they would continue over the paper. For the tree I used the Tree for all Seasons Stamp Set. I stamped directly onto patterened paper and then cut the tree out.

I had a lot of fun with this layout and maybe it inspires you to use your myStampBox Stamps even for a non-photo layout!
