Cards!

Hello friends!
We are expecting a winter storm over the next couple of days and then again on Sunday so I am busy working on Christmas Cards (nothing makes me want to sit by the fire with a cup of cocoa and work on Christmas cards while listening to my favorite Christmas music more than SNOW!!)

Today Kary is sharing one of our newest stamp sets:  His Little Ones:  Sincerely Girl along with a 2x2 set 1 John 3:1:

So Gorgeous!

Chere has used His Little Ones: Girl with heart stamp set and Proverbs 3:5 single scripture stamp set in her lovely card:

And Deneen has shared this beautiful creation using Inspired Stamps VINTAGE CHRISTMAS (we are very low ins stock on this set as well as the NATIVITY set!):

So beautiful!

Using Scripture in your Cards with the Design Team!

Hello friends!
We want to give a BIG WELCOME to our newest (and one of our original) Design Team Members, Deneen Treble!!  Deneen is a wonderful artist that is such a great member of our Inspired Stamps family and we are SO EXCITED to have her back on the DT for 2013!! 

We had an unexpected number of our Tuesday DT unable to post artwork this week, that I have brought Patty's card over to this post so you would all be able to see it!  Hope everyone is feeling better soon...I'm convinced to go get my flu shot today, too!!

Above is a close up of Kary's beautiful card using one of our $3.99 single Scriptures:  Proverbs 3:5
(A reminder that all the DTs blogs are linked at the left hand side of this blog if you'd like to head over and see more of what they've done!!)

12 Weeks of Christmas Tutorials: Week #3 Coasters with Inspired Stamps!

Welcome to week 3 of Inspired Stamps 12 weeks of Christmas tutorial.  Today CHERE has made a set of coasters and a coffee wrap.  TAKE IT AWAY CHERE:

 This would make a great gift for any coffee or tea drinker in your life.  Here are the supplies you will need to gather: tiles from the local home improvement store ( I usually buy Rialto white but could not find this time so used Agora almond), Staz-On ink, Staz-On ink cleaner, felt pads, stamps, plain cup wrap, rubbing alcohol.

 I cleaned all the tiles with rubbing alcohol and let dry and then stamped the verse and image on the tile.  Tip:  it is a good idea to leave the rubbing alcohol and a rag (I use old socks) nearby in case the image does not stamp evenly on the tile.  If you move quickly you can "wash" it off and re-try.  After I stamped my set of coasters with Proverbs 3:5 verse and tree from Ask, Seek and Knock set. I baked in the oven at 350 degrees F for 30 minutes.  I also seal the coasters with spray acrylic, since wet drinks will be set on them you do not want ink to come off.  I then add the felt pads to the bottom.  This allows them to sit on furniture without scratching.

 Here is the finished wrap and coaster.  You could add a gift card or chocolates or tea bags inside the cup and wrap in a cello bag.  Below you can see my finished set of coasters.  I have seen similar sets in "crafty" shops for much more than it will cost you to make them.  I do suggest that you clean your stamps with Staz-On cleaner as soon as you finish to prevent a build up.

 I also have a stash of chipboard coasters.  I bought them on clearance, thinking I could alter them someday.  So this was the day.  You can see what they looked like to begin with and the finished product. I used Be Still Silhouettes for this coaster and distressed with distress inks.

I cut a piece of 4X4 piece of cardstock and stamped images.

 I used matte and seal by Ranger to attach paper to chipboard and then used sharp scissors to cut off excess and round corners of cardstock.  I also covered the back in the brown striped dp.  I then coated the coasters with more matte and seal to waterproof.  Quick and easy.  Let me know what you think!!   Have a great day and thanks for stopping by!

Blessings,

Antoinette           Come shop our online store: We ship most orders SAME DAY they are placed:

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:
