Inspired Stamps CARDS (with flowers!)

Hello friends!
This morning the Design Team has created some GORGEOUS cards for you using Inspired Stamps.  Kary used DISTRESS INKS to create this color-rich card (stamps from FRIENDSHIPS FLOWERS Inspired Stamp set):

 

Deneen made this stunning card using beautiful die cuts and Inspired Stamps Single Scripture: Mark 10:27 to create this:

She used a flower from our FLOWER VALUE SET which she showed the coloring of close up here:

 

Jamie's card is so inspiring to me!!  I love all the white with the pop of color!:

The verse and the flowers are from the FLOWER VALUE set in the online store.  So pretty!
And Chere has made this lovely card to wrap us up for today using Inspired Stamps BUTTERFLIES AND BLOOMS:

Thank you so much, ladies, for the beautiful inspiration for today!  We are blessed by each one!

I'll be back tonight with the 6th installment of our 31 Days of March: Art Journaling your Bible Study!

Blessings,

Inspired Stamps FLOWERS stamps: Cards from the Design Team

Hello friends!
I have JUST STARTED WORKING on a tutorial for the now popular 'card in a box' or 'box card', and look!  Chere already made one!  She is using flowers from our FLOWERS VALUE PACK, now on sale in the online store!  You see this and you think--wow that's great, but how on earth would I mail it?  Check it out:

 It FOLDS up and fits into a regular envelope....WHAT????!!!  I know!!  It's amazing!  I'm working on a tutorial for early next week so I can show you how this works!   Meanwhile, you can see the back of the box card can be used to write a message on:

Thank you Chere for showcasing the Flower Stamps this way...it's stunning!

Speaking of stunning...
Up next is Deneen's stunning card with the FLOWER VALUE PACK of Inspired Stamps:

and Belinda also made this card using the set:

and Kary used scripture from the ASK SEEK KNOCK Inspired Stamp set and flowers from the BUTTERFLY AND BLOOMS stamp set:

How to Memorize Scripture: WEEK 3 (our final week)

Hello friends!
Today is week 3 (our final post) of our How to Memorize Scripture focus here at Inspired Stamps! How are you doing?  Have any of the ideas or artwork we've posted been helpful in your own Scripture Memorization?  Be sure to leave us a comment and let us know!

If you haven't seen our previous posts, please start there.  You can click on the link here to go back to both:

Today before I share the next set of verses I have put into my Ephesians Art Journal, I want to encourage you to make sure you have your Scripture Ring Index cards with you at all times, and to not only use the Sticky Notes we recommended in our last post, but put the Scripture you are memorizing in creative places:  on your mugs, your calendar, a picture frame, your computer screen, (my refrigerator is a KEY SPOT to put a set of these)  It's also helpful to HEAR the Scriptures.  You can play them in your car or on your smart-phone.  Are you creating an Art Journal for your Scripture?  Take a photo of your daily Scripture with your smart phone and set it as the lock screen!  Every time you go to type in your password for your phone, THERE IS YOUR SCRIPTURE!!

Here are this last week's worth of Ephesians that I created with in my Ephesians Art Journal.  You'll notice on the first pages I used magazine scenery in the background, and created a girl using our ART JOURNALING WORDS AND FACES set--a versatile set, especially if you aren't one to draw your own faces:

I always think of water washing over me when I think of this verse "according to the riches of His grace which he lavished on us".  So the water scene really works for me!

Next, I used a lot of Stickles on the next two layout spreads.  Love my Stickles; hate how long they take to dry!  But it was near 90 degrees outside here today so I put the pages out in the sunshine to dry and 20 minutes later, success!  I used Inspired Stamps:  Solid Alphabet Lowercase, Butterflies and Blooms & the Time stamp sets:

Here is the last layout, which started out as a simple fall scene, but really is stunning with God's Word over it:

Here's a closer view (this page did not photograph well this evening). 

**Join us in JUNE 2014 as we MEMORIZE CHAPTER 1 of the book of GENESIS!!**

Thanks so much for stopping by!!
