Looking for new Design Team members: maybe YOU?


Hello friends!
It's time for us to expand our Design Team!  Please let your friends know (feel free to copy/paste the brief DT CALL logo above to put on your blog!) and consider joining our Design Team yourself!

We are looking for someone(s) who is able to post each Thursday from August through January to your own blog.  We do mostly cards, but sometimes tags or other items.  We like to have a variety of styles and abilities on the team, so whether you are experienced at being on a Design Team or never even knew such a thing existed until you read this post, whether you have a simple, clean style or a very layered, artistic style,
WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU!!

If you can dedicate each Thursday morning to an Inspired Stamps post, love the idea of getting our stamps FREE to use in your artwork, and can take a good, clear photo of your artwork, please consider applying:

TO APPLY:
*Send 3 photos (make sure your photos are bright, but not washed out and clearly show your card front) with a different card in each photo.  You do not need to use Inspired Stamps for this.
*Email these to us at inspiredstamps@gmail.com BY JULY 14th at midnight.
*Let us know a little about you and why you feel you'd be a good fit on this Design Team.  Also please send us a link to your blog so we can take a look at what you've done.

We will contact you by Monday, July 16th and let you know if you've been added to the DT!

If you are added to the Design Team you will be sent a package of stamps to use in your artwork and given further information.

Thanks to everyone who share this call out with your blogging friends!!  We REALLY appreciate it!
Blessings,
Antoinette

Lots of Artwork this DESIGN TEAM THURSDAY!

 Hello friends!
I hope you are staying safe if you are experiencing the dangerous heat we are here in the Mid-West: over 100 degrees expected here today!!  A good reason to stay in and do some stamping!!
Today the Design Team was asked to create something of their choice using some of their favorite Inspired Stamps.  Kary created this beautiful (and very creative!) card that turns in the middle!  Here's a couple more views of her card, followed by the rest of the Design Team's creations:

Check out the many different EASEL CARDS the Design Team created!!


Hello Friends!
Today is one WOWSER of a creative day here at Inspired Stamps!!  The Design Team has done an OUTSTANDINGLY creative job this week to inspire you in your card making! I've already had questions on what an easel card is and Jamie has a great side view so you can see the workings above.  It will lay flat when you take the 'easel' up from the piece at the base of the card that sits it up.  Here is Jamie's front of her card...then there are several variations of the easel card:

Nesting Inspired Stamps Christmas Cards

Hello friends!
I know with the unbearable heat and lack of rain here in the mid-west some of you are probably scratching your heads, wondering why you are seeing Christmas Cards now, in June!  But I have taught a 5 card class each month from May-October every year for many many years, so that we can have 30 unique cards ready to go before November even gets here!  So I thought I'd share May's cards:
                                                             front and inside of card

                                                      







If a card didn't have a inside that showed through to the front, it got a 1.5 inch Christmas Circle stamp:
I hope this inspires you to get inside on a hot day and get started on those Christmas Cards!
I'll be back soon with more artwork!
Blessings,
Antoinette
