I Brake For Nature

Good morning peeps, Beth here with another card for you this week....I used the IBFS the sentiment stamp Nature as my main focal point on this card along with a couple of butterflies from Butterfly Kisses I stamped and punched out with the small Martha Stewart Butterfly punch.

I used a cuttlebug embossing folder on my white layer cut that in 2 sections and used Martha stewart border punch on the edges .....the sentiment was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on the lavender card stock .....I than cut out the stem using a sizzix big die cut from vellum colored it garden green....added the butterflies and flowers and walla have me a pretty little card.
Thanks for stopping by today hope all who are in the line of theses bad storms are okay.

See you next Tues.
Hugs
Beth

I Brake For Praises!

{Jane Bosi}  The I Brake For Stamps store has some new releases!  I was immediately drawn to this particular image (found on full sheet 139)!  Don't misunderstand, the rest of the images are equally fabulous, but this was the one that pulled me in!

I began with a piece of neutral cardstock, stencil and various distress inks.  After creating the ray backdrop, I stamped the raised hands image....despite possibly needing to reink my black pad, I really like the way it turned out!

To complete my project, I added the simple "Praise Him" sentiment from Inspiration Sheet #3.

Have a great Monday!!  TTFN, Jane

With Symathy

Hello and Happy Saturday!

Renee here and today I'm sharing a sympathy card with you. 

My friend who is one of my most loyal customers needed a sympathy card last week and this is what I made for her.  I used two images and one verse from I Brake For Stamps on my card.
The flowers are called LARGE VIOLET STEM and BOTANICAL and the verse is from the sheet EVERY DAY PHRASES.



Inside I used the sympathy verse MEMORIES COMFORT YOU
and the stamp called FOXGLOVE and BIRD SILOUETTE .


I stamped all of the flowers twice so that I could pop them up and give them dimension.

I Brake for Shy Bears in Spring ....

Hello I Brake For Stamps Friends !!
It's Crystal here with another Easter card and today I am using a Shy Bear from the  # 6 collection .These bears are so cute and fun to stamp up and color , today I copic colored the front image  and on the inside I colored the stamp with markers  to show another way to color them .


to make my butterflies I cut a layer of wax paper and card stock together , this help the die release the cut and instead of throwing the wax paper away I glitter up this layer and it adds awesome wow to your project ( I learned this technique at the CK show I attended ) this glue was bought at the show but as a sub you can use glossy accents , this bottle has a brush tip to apply , you can apply glossy with a brush just rinse out right away.

this is them glittered and layer together , i added red pearls to center of them on the card
