3 Magazine Commissions...

Hi Everyone, Robyn here. I have 3 cards (well 6 really but they are so similar that I'm bunching them together) to share with you today! These are each cards that a UK magazine asked that I create for their August 2011 issue (Cardmaking and Papercraft magazine). What is so neat about this is that they specifically requested these IBFS images! Isn't that neat! Way to go Della! :c)

For the first one, I've used the "To the One I Love" stamp by I Brake for Stamps. I used this card HERE and HERE back in January and February as a Valentine's Day card and a tag. I love it and it is SO cute! Can you tell that I love this stamp! Makes a great anniversary card as well!

You can see this stamp on the IBFS website HERE.



The second card(s)...

This one is called "1902 Cottage" and you can find it HERE on the IBFS website.



The cards are very similiar, apart from using different marker colors...



Sorry it's a bit darker...

Finally, here is the 3rd...

This is probably my favorite rubber stamp of the 3 I've shared thus far. It's called 'Miss Rachel in the Garden', again these are all I Brake for Stamps stamps that the magazine requested that I use. There are 3 other "Miss Rachel" stamps on the IBFS website. You can see the others HERE , HERE, and HERE.

The second one really isn't that different, I just changed the marker colors and used a different ribbon and rub-on sentiment... (the lighting is way off in the picture below - sorry about that it wasn't a good lighting day that day).

Well, that's it from me for today. I hope you enjoy seeing the cards that I made for the August issue. Thanks for stopping by today. Hope your week is going fabulous!

Valentine's Day Tag

Hi Everyone, it's Robyn here. I have a sweet little Valentine's Day tag to share with you today.

It is using the adorable To the One I Love stamp from I Brake for Stamps. I used a #8-sized shipping tag and K&Co papers along with vintage seam binding ribbon and flowers.

For some reason, when I cropped the photo for the close-up, it went a bit blurry on me, but hopefully, you get the idea.

I used my Letraset Promarkers to color in the image of these 2 cuties.

I made a little pocket at the back of the tag to hold my contact info with a personalized note. I used a Wilton's doily and dry brushed on some white acrylic paint. The heart clip is by 7-Gypsies.

This is the back of the tag with the pocket tags removed.

Thank you so much for stopping by the IBFS blog. I hope you have a wonderful weekend! :c)

Valentine's Day Card

Hello Everyone, Robyn here! I had such a fun time creating this adorable little Valentine's Day card using sweet little stamp from I Brake for Stamps called To the One I Love. I think the image is just the cutest ever!

I'm learning to color with my Letraset Promarkers and am having such a good time with them. I still have loads to learn and that is actually one of my goals this year, but I'm really enjoying it so far. This image was a great one to start off with with these two little cuties. I did a little bit of paper piecing with the background. I added some Webster's Pages trim to the little girls dress to add a bit more frill. The papers are from the Prima Annalee paper collection which I've edged with Vintage Photo Distress ink.

I added a bit of Dazzling Diamonds to the flowers and around the edge of the image.

I tied the seam binding ribbon using my Bow Easy from I Brake for Stamps.
