Today I have a card to share using two great myStamp Box stamp sets: Mention It and Graphic Borders. I created a background for my card using the Graphic Borders stamp. Thanks for stopping by!

I decided to get messy and pulled out my stamps, inks, stencils, and sprays. I sprayed my background in pink and blue, then added the small round dots using ink and a stencil.  I then stamped in a different shade of pink with the Decorative Strips Set. A border of punchinella, washi tape and felt flowers made a nice center focal point. Finally, I added a few sequins and the sentiment using the Splash Me A Lot! Set.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there.

I started with a printed piece of cardstock from Authentique with script on it. I then stamped the lines circle from Bottlecaps in red, green, and blue inks randomly across the patterned paper. I also added the tiny dots cluster from Garden Sketches.

Once everything was dry I trimmed a band of coordinating paper for across the center and added the sentiment from Lots of Dots – Sentiments and one more flower from Bottlecaps. I colored in the funky flower and layered the whole panel onto a card made from cardstock.

Try making some handmade thank you cards for the people who help you. It’s a simple act that means so much!

Today  I’m sharing  a layout with a picture of my daughter, lightness and softness was my thoughts.

I used for my background Mini Alpha – small BOX and stars from Deck the Halls, the title Je t’aime is from French Sentiments – Bonjour.

Thanks for stopping by.

I stamped two different flowers from the Abundant Blossoms set onto pattern paper and then cut the flowers out of the paper. I handstitched some stems with embroidery thread, then layered the flowers at the tops of the stems, adhering the small flower with foam adhesive for a little dimension. I finished off the card with some bling in the center of the flowers, a strip of seam binding and a sentiment from the Lines of Life – Small Box set.

I wanted this card to be fun and whimsical to brighten someone’s day so along with a bright color combo I mixed three myStamp Box stamp sets:  Pixel Perfect Set, Striped Stems Set and Mention It Set.  I cut out both the tape and flower stamped images and to add additional layers I used pop dots under the flower.

I’ve made myself a new blog banner which is so easy and fun to do, this one took me just half an hour.

I started with a piece of card 28 x 10cm’s and decorated it as if it was a layout using my favourite journaling stamps Your Story and some off cuts from my bits box.

I then took a photo of the artwork by placing it on the floor and standing above it so I could get a good picture. On the computer I cropped it further to tidy it up and changed the pixel size to 900 x 300 px. The 900 px is the important one as if it’s too long or too short it’ll look wrong when you upload it to the blog. (My blog is on Blogger so if you use a different blog host like Wordpress the size may be different so check first).

From your blog dashboard, go to the layout to edit the banner. It’s just a matter then of uploading the image.

You can see the banner in place on my blog from today here.

I had fun creating this little 6″x6″ canvas using the “Wishing You Sunshine“  stamp set, and in less than two hours I had this little bit of sunshine hanging on my wall as I wait for the arrival of Spring!  Please visit my blog to see the complete details on how I created this little mini canvas.

I stamped both the rows onto patterned paper and trimmed them out. I then adhered some dimensional adhesive to both of the images and layered them on top of each other. The top layer is positioned a bit lower then the first one, so that the back row still stays visible enough.

I believe you can add as many layers of houses as you want. Just have fun!

I started by creating a muted background using the four softest shades of Distress Ink that I had: Pumice Stone, Milled Lavender, Spun Sugar, and Tumbled Glass. Then I misted the entire background with my favorite spray – water with Perfect Pearls. It gives an iridescent effect to the background that is lovely (but very difficult to photograph!)

Then I stamped a sentiment from Mention It!, then the dragonfly and “flight path” from Garden Sketches using Archival ink. I love to use black as a contrast to colors, either bold or pastel. I also matted the background on black cardstock to pull it all together on the card front.

I colored the dragonfly wings using blue and green colored pencils and went over it with a clear, glitter gel pen. That added the extra sparkle I was looking for! I filled in the dragonfly body with purple gems and touched up the “flight path” with glitter pen, too. You can see the background iridescence in this detail photo a bit more clearly. While this card is being used for Erin’s birthday, the generic sentiment makes it nice to give to someone special anytime.

Today I’m sharing with you some tulips. I really love them, it’s one of my favorite flowers.

For this background, I tried the last technic of Heidi Swapp, used a glue with a stencil for the leaves, a little paint on edges and stamp few parts with Mini Aplha – Small Box.

I stamped and cut out some leaves and flowers from Abundant Blossoms and other leaves from Funky Flowers .

Thanks for stopping by.

My card features three stamps from myStamp Box’s Funky Flower Set and one stamp from myStamp Box’s Graphic Border Set.

I really like the look of the Graphic Border stamp stamped in a similar color as the patterned paper – so it adds another layer but doesn’t overpower anything else on the card.

Thanks for stoppin’ by!

I’m off to England for the Easter break visiting family and as I don’t get to see them that often I imagine there’ll be lots and lots of photo’s taken. I thought I’d make an album in preparation for documenting my visit and the obvious choice is this Suitcase Chipboard album from My Stamp Box along with the Road Trip stamp set.

For my blog post this month I would like to introduce you to Mr. Sock Monkey… the myStamp Box Holiday Monkey stamp set of the cutest sock monkey EVER, and he comes with accessories for every occasion!   I LOVED him at first sight and since I just couldn’t stop stamping him I went a little crazy and made six cards with HIM as the star!  I also got to try out some really easy techniques for quickly creating backgrounds with craft paint, my brayer, stencils and a makeup sponge! You wouldn’t know it by looking at them but all these cards came together in a very short time indeed!  This birthday card is one of my favorites, but to see all my other cards and to get more details on creating these backgrounds please hop on over to MY BLOG.

The focal point of the card is definitely this flower that I build with stamps from the Funky Flowers set. The outer layers of this flower were stamped with the larger solid leaf stamp, the inner layer with both of the smaller leaf stamp. Five layers in total. The sentiment is from the Small Greetings set.

Thanks for stopping by today!

I started with a bright and cheerful journal with a window cutout in the cover framing the perfect initial, E. I was drawn to the bright flowers and enjoyed my recent work with the myStampBOX Abundant Blossoms stamp set. I decided to embellish the cover with bold, bright blossoms to further enhance the frame.

I stamped flowers from Abundant Blossoms, Striped Stems, and leaves from Floating Leaves on solid colors of sturdy cardstock. I embossed with black powder to help give the flowers an extra bold look against the busy pattern on the journal as well as a glossy texture. I added some shading to each leaf and flower using markers and a glitter gel pen. The flowers received a rhinestone center or some Flower Soft for added texture. I love the way they frame the opening! It was fun to take a store-bought item and make it into a much more personal gift. Be on the lookout for items you can embellish with stamping!

Here’s the cool news – myStampBOX has its own line of embossing powders coming soon! My journal uses the black which has a beautiful, glossy finish. Stay tuned to our online store for details on when the powders will be available for purchase.
