Two Valentine Easel Cards

Hi Everyone, it's Robyn here today.  I have 2 cards to share with you today. They are both featuring the new release stamp, Kisses Cammy, from I Brake for Stamps.   They measure 6" x 6" and are actually easel cards. I sure hope you like seeing them. I know that I definitely had a great time creating them. =)

She was colored using my Letraset Promarkers.  
 The inside sentiments came from the MS102 Full Plate (Valentine's Day phrases) and the one stamped in green came from the Inspirational Phrases sheet, both from I Brake for Stamps.  

 I've also used the corner stamp from the Fancy Elements stamp sheet.

Happy Birthday...

Hi Everyone, it's Robyn here today.  I have a fun, shaped card to share with you today.  One of my favorite things to collect is teapots and tea cups.  I started when my girls were little so we could enjoy hours and hours of tea parties.  Over the years, we've made a lot of special memories and have had treasured times "playing" tea party.    When I saw the Cricut cartridge called Love you a Latte, I knew I had to get it.  The special times with my girls is what inspired today's card. 

I used my Cricut and Gypsy to create the shape using pink textured cardstock.  The sentiment stamp on the outside is from the Every Day Phrases.

 

 

This is the inside sentiment (below).  It comes from the Inspirational Phrases sheet; which is my all-time favorite set from IBFS. =)

 

This card was a lot of fun to create and I hope you're able to see just how versatile these wonderful stamps sheets are.  Love them!

Thanks for stopping by today.  If you have any questions, let me know. ;)

Because He Lives - IBFS Challenge #19

Happy Wednesday to each of you!  It's supposed to be a lovely, sunny day here in Michigan with a whopping 64°F.  I plan on soaking up some of that warmth!  Is anybody else ready for Spring?  Woohoo!  To get things rolling, we have another challenge over on the challenge blog beginning today.  The theme is Easter and there is a lot of inspiration over on the blog.  Hope you'll be able to play along.

I've used a new release stamp called "Because He Lives" and I think it sums it all up!  I really love it.   The "Happy Easter" sentiment came from Every Day Phrases; which is one of my absolute favorite sets.

Of course, I also had to use my other favorite set called Inspirational Phrases; which I stamped on the inside of the card.  I think it's such a fabulous set!  There are 28 different sentiments on this set so you can see why I use it on nearly every card that I make. =)  Love...

Well, that's it for me for today.  I hope you'll pop over to the challenge blog and take a look at what the other DT have come up with.  Thanks so much for stopping by today.  Hope your week is a fabulous one!

Easy Peasy!

Hi Everyone, it's Robyn here today.  I've had such a good time mass producing cards this week.  This card is just one set of cards that I created.  This is such a simple card so it was really easy to make a number of them in a short period of time.  They are flat as well, so perfect for sending through the mail.

Once again, I've used my favorite stamp sheet from IBFS.  It's called Inspirational Phrases and it's one I reach for over and over - SO versatile!  

Thanks for stopping by today.  We always appreciate you checking out what the DT have been up to.  Hope you have a wonderful rest of your week!

Get Well Wishes...

Hi Everyone, it's Robyn here today.  I have a Get Well card that I made for a friend of mine.  I hope it brightens her day and lets her know how special I think she is.  I've used 3 different stamp sheets; which happen to be all 3 on my favorite's list.  The outside sentiment came from Every Day Phrases, the lovely butterflies came from Butterfly Kisses, and last but not least...my all-time favorite sheet...Inspirational Phrases.  I use that sheet, it seems, for every card I create!  Very versatile!
I fussy cut the butterflies and only adhered them to the card along the thorax so the wings would be dimensional.

Hope you enjoy seeing it.  Thanks so much for stopping by.  We always appreciate your time.  Have a great rest of your week!

Crafty Hugs, 

Robyn

Butterflies and Banners...Valentine's Day

Hello Everyone, it's Robyn here today. I have 2 Valentine's Day cards to share with you today...

The phrase came from the Every Day Phrases sheet from I Brake for Stamps. It is fast becoming my new favorite stamp set as it's so versatile.

Here is the inside of the card...

The inside sentiment came from long-time favorite set called Inspirational Phrases (this set is my go-to stamp sheet-I love it!) The butterflies came from the Butterfly Kisses set.



This second card is my favorite... (I've enclosed a video tutorial below)

The outside sentiment also came from the Every Day Phrases sheet. Lastly, here is the inside of the card; which uses the Happy Valentine's Day Bold stamp. You can click on the names to see the whole sheet of each set.

Thanks for popping in today. We always appreciate it! Have a great day! xx

Thinking of you...

Hi there and happy Wednesday, it's Robyn here today.

I have a card today that is a sad card to create, but a very needed type of card. It's a Thinking of you/Sympathy card. :( One of our son's college classmates just lost her grandfather and although I don't know her I know what she is going through. I just wanted to send her a card to let her know that our family cares.

I embossed the sentiment on the front and for the life of me, I couldn't get a full card picture without the glare. Sorry about that.

I've used My Minds Eye Portabella Road 6x6 paper pad and Stampin' Up! Not Quite Navy card stock for the papers. I really like the sentiment for the verse, but also the way it is written. I like the flourish around it that creates a sort of frame look. It made it easy to cut out. This stamp is called: Perfect Peace. Here's a closer look at it (hopefully with a little less glare).

For the inside of the card, I've used 2 different stamp sheets from I Brake for Stamps. The phrase came from the Inspirational Phrases set, and the butterflies came from the Butterfly Kisses set.

Here's a little video...

Thank you again for stopping by today. You're super special! xx

We Remember...

Friendship...

Hi Everyone, it's Robyn here with a cute little friendship card. The stamp sheet that I'm using today is called "Inspirational Phrases." I absolutely love this set! There are 28 different sentiments and phrases on this sheet, so you can see how you would easily get a lot of miles out of it! :) I thought the "Your friendship is a special blessing" sentiment was just the phrase I needed for this cute, whimsical card that I created to give to my friend.

My card base measures 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" so is a standard A2 size. I've used a paper line that I've had in my hoarding vault all summer because I love it so much. :) It's by Echo Park called "A Walk in the Park," and I've used my Cricut and the Country Life cartridge to create the fun little happy sun image and tied some baker's twine around the top note that I've mounted it on and then added a few little buttons.

That's about it, super quick, cute, and fun. I hope it brings a smile to your face today. Thanks for stopping by!

Hugs,

Robyn
