InStyle Stamps Blog Hop

Hi Everyone,

It's the last Friday of the month and that means it's time for a blog hop brought to you by the DT at InStyle Stamps.  Ready for some cute projects and lots of crafting inspiration?  You should have arrived from Kimme's blog, but if you didn't, just see the list below.  Leave some comments along the way and make sure you end up at the InStyle Stamps blog, they will have all the fun details there.

The theme is friendship, so I used this darling little Patty from the set Patty's Pretty Poises for my Post it note holder.  I bought these mini pens from the $1 spot at Target and they were a perfect fit for this gift item that's a perfect fit for any purse.

Next stop on the hop is Cathy...I know her project is a must see!

Pretty Posies Spring Basket

Hi Everyone!

My card today shows off the cute basket of seeds that comes in the set of stamps named Patty's Pretty Posies from Instyle Stamps.

I colored the image with my Copic markers, and since the background paper had these cute flowers, all I did was add a gem to the middle of them for some bling.  Easy peasy spring time card :)

Kitty Treats

Hi Everyone,

Today I'm back with another InStyle Stamps project for you.  Sometimes instead of bringing the usual candy or sweet treat when bringing a hostess gift, I like to remember their pets.  These new Tia and Cuddles stamps are the perfect thing to adorn my little Kitty Treat holder.

Here are the specifics measurements for the tote, which is also sized to hold A2 cards as well.

Paper for box-6 1/2" x 10".

Score 6 1/2" side at 1".  Turn paper 180 degrees and score other side at 1".

Score 10" side at 4 1/2".  Turn paper 180 degrees and score other side at 4 1/2".

Fold score lines and cut out tabs in the center.  Fold box and secure with Tacky Tape. The handle is made from a matching strip of paper 1' x 12" and attached with a brad embellished Prima Flower.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Inspiration Challenge Bookmark

*This is my second post today...Please scroll down for my Lindsay's Stamp Stuff post.*

Hi Everyone!

I'm posting my project for the current Inspiration Challenge that is going on at the InStyle Stamps blog this week.  I showed you the photo below yesterday...

Here is my project made using the new Tia and Cuddles stamp set.  I chose to make a bookmark, and I was able to use many of the images in the set for this one project.  Taking inspiration from the little circles in the photo, I used the kitty treat stamps on the tassel of my bookmark. 

I used a 1 1/4" & 1 3/8" circle punch and attached them with some Martha Stewart bakers twine. 

The image was colored using the following Copic markers-R81, R85, RV23, RV29, E00, E31, E33, C1, BG10, and one Gelly Roll pen in Metallic Pink.

Tia & Cuddles

Hi Everyone,

Happy Friday! Any big weekend plans?  We are having company this weekend, so I'm looking forward to that.  In the mean time, I have a card for you using one of the new sets from InStyle Stamps.  The set is Tia and Cuddles and here is a look at all the stamps which are currently on sale!

My card uses the Tia holding Cuddles stamp as well as the little ball of yarn.  So cute.  I used some girl oriented papers from K&Company, colored the image with my Copics, cut it out and layered it over a mat cut out with my oval Nesties.  I used my Crop-o-Dial to created the punched border on the background paper.

Here is a photo of all colors used on my card and the complete list of details is at the end.

Thanks for dropping by and have a great weekend!

An Update and an InStyle Stamps Sketch Challenge

Hi Everyone,

Thanks so much for all you sweet comments earlier regarding my cryptic post about the health of a family member.  Frankly, I'm still a little exhausted from the drama of three days of doctors, tests, waiting in the ER and nervously waiting the outcome from a procedure for my mother in law, to give you anymore details. Other than, at the moment everything seems to be OK.  She is in the hospital and recovering.

I try not to ramble about tons of personal downers here on the blog o roonie, but I was feeling SO BAD about not getting around to seeing and commenting on  all of your fun cards and various" makes", that I needed you to know that something was up.  Have I said lately that you all are awesome?  If not, consider yourself just that.

On to a bit of card stuff :)

Today is the first sketch challenge of the year at InStyle Stamps! 

Here is the sketch...

We would love it if you played along with us.  Just go to the InStyle blog for all the deets and to link up your card!

Thanks again, Everyone!
