Sets of Christmas Cards BLOG HOP!! + ALL CHRISTMAS STAMPS on sale!!

 

  Hello friends!

We are celebrating CHRISTMAS IN JULY with a sale on ALL OUR CHRISTMAS STAMPS at the online store: www.inspiredstamps.com AND a Blog Hop showcasing sets of 3 Christmas Cards using one or two Inspired Stamps sets!!

**WINNERS ANNOUNCED!!  SHARON recommended we make stamps for Advent (here on the blog) and Belinda recommended we make ornaments with ornament shaped hymn music stamps (from our FB page).  Congratulations!  You both will receive 2 of the stamp sets we make using your suggestions!  Email us at inspiredstamps@gmail.com with your mailing address and we'll get those out once they are made!!

Today I am starting off our blog hop with a set of 3 cards using 2 Inspired Stamps' Sets and one 6x6 paper pack we sell in the online store:

Hymn Girls: March is not a Christmas Stamp, but just by changing the coloring, she became one in my card!  All the Hymn Girls line are changeable like this which is one of the reason I love them so much!

Vintage Christmas is running low in the online store so if you want to get this one, hurry!

I also used the BazzillBasics Nordic Pine paper found in the online store for my cards
Here are all of my cards (colored with Copic Markers, inked with Distress inks, and Stickles/Opaque gems are added for sparkle!):

Please leave us a comment and let us know how you like the cards!!

We chose 2 winners!  One from the blog...

Contest!!: What fall or Christmas stamp design would YOU like to see? You could win 2 sets of YOUR IDEA if we make it into a stamp set this fall!!

Hello friends!
We have a contest going from NOW through Wednesday July 23rd midnight EST where YOU can win 2 FREE STAMPSETS (one for you and one for you to share!)!!  But not just ANY stamp sets...ones YOU have left as a comment for here and/or on our FB page sharing what Scripture, Image, Sentiment or Character YOU'D like to see us create into a stamp set this fall!!  Here are the only 3 things to keep in mind:

1.  You must leave your idea (one comment per household only) either here on this post or on our Inspired Stamps Facebook page (IF YOU HAVE 2 IDEAS YOU MAY LEAVE ONE HERE AND ONE ON OUR FACEBOOK PAGE!!) by Wednesday, July 23rd at midnight!

 

2. You better your chances to win if we DO NOT ALREADY HAVE your idea made into a stampset (for example, for fall entries, we already have the Scripture shown in the above stamp set FALL GRATITUDE so we will probably not create new stamps using the same Scripture)

3. The winning idea must somehow be appropriate for a FALL/AUTUMN card OR a CHRISTMAS CARD (please no Halloween).  Feel free to include our characters, His Little Ones and Hymn Girls, in your ideas!!


WE WILL ANNOUNCE THE WINNER(S) ON THURSDAY JULY 24TH'S DESIGN TEAM POST WHICH ALSO HAPPENS TO BE A CHRISTMAS CARD BLOG HOP!!  BE SURE TO STOP BACK BY TO SEE IF YOU WON!!

Here are some wonderful DT creations for today's DT THURSDAY post using some of our newest stamp sets:

Here is a beautiful card by Kary using one of our $3.99 Single Scripture Stamps:  ROMANS 5:1 and a clever use of part of our HYMN GIRLS: PATRIOTIC GIRL WITH STAR!!

Patty is up next with this lovely lace-filled beauty using Single Scripture Stamp: Romans 8:31. 

Deneen's card above is frame-worthy!  Love her use of HYMN GIRLS: SUMMER FLIP FLOPS with the 1"Circle Sentiments (happy birthday)!  She also used a flower from the stamp set in our Hymn Line:  HYMN: Mushrooms and Leaves and created the sentiment CELEBRATE from our LABELMAKER ALPHABET set

Belinda used our BACKGROUND STAMPS in the back of this beautiful tag card!  She also used Single Scripture PSALM 31:24--so very pretty!

Shanta made this colorful creation using one of our brand new SINGLE STAMPS called THINKING ABOUT YOU (2x2)!  So pretty!

Chere's card above just really says so much!  Such a great use of inks in the Inspired Stamps sets:  HYMN: Earth and Weather and Single Scripture Stamp  GENESIS 1:1!!  Love it!

Head over to our online store to see the stamps we DO have, then come back and leave your comment below with YOUR IDEA for a new FALL or CHRISTMAS stamp set below!!

Layered Card for Any Occasion

Hello friends!
Today I have a card I wanted to share that I am selling on my etsy shop.  I love this Hymn Girl (September) so much, I could use her in every type of card I can think of!   

Here is the complete card, with all the supplies used to create it shown below:

I kept the inside of the card very simple so the sender can write in a personal note to the one they send it to!

I used Copic markers, Distress inks, CTMH opaques and other sticker stones, gingham black and white ribbon, a Spellbinders die, and the following items you can find in the online store:

                                                          HYMN GIRLS: SEPTEMBER

 Flowers Value Set (6x8" set)

Thinking of You stamp set

Have a great week!  We will have a really great contest starting on THURSDAY so be sure to come by and see us..
