Inspired by Stamping - Layered Windows

Hello, Inspired by Stamping friends. It is Jessi here for my last guest designer spot. I want to start off by thanking Joanna and the team for allowing me to play along with them this month! It has been a pleasure working with you!

I love creating layered windows on cards. So I decided to show you how to complete one with Inspired by Stamping stamp sets:

The first step is to form your A2 card base and cut our a 4in. x 5.25in panel that will be the front of the card. With this panel, use a circle die to cut out the window.

I took the forest stamp from the Winter Friends stamp set and stamped the image twice onto the cardbase. I used a grey ink, so the inks would blend into the scene. I used a light blue to color in the sky portions of the stamp.

The deer image is stamped in a brown ink and colored in with a variety of brown markers. A black marker is used to color the hooves and the tip of the nose.The image is cut out and set aside.

The front panel is flipped over and the snow drift and tree dies are attached to the back side of the window. Several foam dots are attached around the card. The panel is then attached to the cardbase.

The deer image is attached to the scene, tucked behind the die cut trees.  A simple sentiment from the Inspired by Stamping stamp set Poinsettias is stamped onto glitter paper and attached to the card.

Thank you for stopping by today and I hope you have a great day!

Inspired by Stamping - Guest Designer Pt. 1

Hello, Inspired by Stamping friends! My name is Jessica Pascarella and I am excited to be the November guest designer! I want to start off my saying 'Thank You' to Joanna for this opportunity and I look forward to working with the team this month!

I have two cards to share with you today. I created a some fall-themed cards, highlight some of my favorite Inspired by Stamping stamp sets.

First up, is a card I made using the Autumn Harvest stamp set.

I stamped the barrel and apple images with a brown ink. Once the ink dried, I used a variety of markers to color in the image. The image is cut out onto a diecut tag. A burnt orange ribbon is stapled onto the top of the tag. The tag is then attached to a variety of fall printed paper. A simple sentiment is formed using the stamps from the Autumn Harvest stamp set.

Next up is my project using the Autumn Blessings stamp set:

To start off this card, I stamped the pumpkin image repeatedly onto the cardstock. The green leave is stamped onto each pumpkin. A yellow ribbon is attached around the bottom of the pumpkin panel and attached to a brown printed paper and then attached to the card base. A fancy diecut is used for the sentiment. The sentiment is stamped in brown. To fill in some of the empty space, I stamped a branch image in two corners using a golden brown ink.

Once I again, I am excited to be with you for the next month. I will be back soon with more Inspired by Stamping creations. You can hop on over to my blog, Kissin' Krafts to see more of my creations.

Thank you for stopping by today!

Inspired by Stamping November Release Blog Hop

Hello, friends! I am excited to be a guest designer for Inspired by Stamping. I am joining them for the month of November. First up is their November Release blog hop.

If you have been hopping along with them, you should be arriving from the talented Linsday's blog. If you happened upon my blog and would like to start at the beginning, you can start at Joanna's blog.

Inspired by Stamping is releasing three stamp sets this month. First up is the new Snowflakes stamp set. I have two projects today showing how you can use this amazing stamp set.

I love to emboss snowflakes. I decided to use white embossing powder on a navy cardstock. This allows the snowflakes to really pop off the project. To start this project, a banner diecut is cut out of the cardstock. I stamped the different snowflake images onto the cardstock and covered it with the embossing powder. Some loose powder is sprinkled over the empty spaces. A heat gun is used to heat up the powder. The sentiment is stamped onto a diecut and the same embossing technique was used. A pretty blue twine was added beneath the sentiment. I used the navy ribbon from the __________ ribbon set to from the tag.

I used the same embossing technique on this card, but with gold powder. The sentiment is added to a strip of cardstock and attached to the front of the card. I layered the embossed cardstock on top of a striped vellum piece of paper.

Heartfelt Thanks

It has been a rainy few weeks here in Texas, with more predicted in the week ahead! One good thing about this rain is that the flowers are in full bloom! The bright colors help out with the gloomy days! Right outside our front door is a hibiscus plant with large orange blooms! So flowers have been on my mind lately, so when I saw this inspiration picture from Inspired by Stamping, the floral print jumped out!  So I decided to play along for the chance to be one of their Inspired by Stamping guest designers.

So I decided to create a card focused on flowers!

 

I chose one of the gorgeous flowers from the Inspired by Stamping's Elegant Flower stamp set. I stamped the image in white and added white embossing powder. I used a couple different ZIG watercolor markers to color in the images. A simple sentiment is stamped with brown ink. I added the floral panel to the front of a kraft card base.

2013 Publication Tryouts = 2014 Blog Projects

I don't know about you, but I get in an organizing frenzy when the New Year hits. I spend the first few weeks going through EVERYTHING and purge! So today's task...computer files. I am going through all my picture files and organizing them into categories.

 As I am completing this 'fun' task, I am coming across a few projects that were publication rejects and I never got around to creating a post for these beauties!!!

First up is a card I made with Neat and Tangled Stamps! I love paper-piecing with this fun stamp set!

I started to play with watercolors a few months ago! I am in love with getting the paint and water out to create a card! Here is one of my favorite cards I have made with watercolors! The large floral stamps from Inspired by Stamping are perfect for this technique!!!

OK, I guess I should get back to my fun organizing task! I will be back soon to share more projects that I have in the works!!!
