I Brake for Giraffes!

Hello from design team member, Heidi!  I need a few kids cards soon, so I thought I would give this funny giraffe image from Mostly Mice Sheet a try!  

I colored the image with markers and cut it out.  I then popped it up over a background I did with a stencil. Then, I used a fun stamp for the birthday sentiment from this set.  I had some enamel embellishments in the shapes of arrows and I thought that would be a fun addition for a tween card.  I’m pretty happy with how this turned out.

Have a wonderful day and keep on stamping!

I Brake for Mostly Mice Thank You Notes!

As promised, I stamped up a few more of the images from the Mostly Mice stamp set, which is one of the newest sets in the store, sold as an unmounted sheet.  I decided to start on a card set to give as a gift, to a music teacher.  I know that at the holiday, she will be getting a lot of teacher gifts and may need some thank you notes.  

I colored the images with alcohol markers.  For the first card, I made it look as if the critters were looking over a wall of patterned paper.  I stamped the Thank You from this Sentiment set onto yellow cardstock and trimmed it out.

The second card uses two of the images.  The little student mouse fits just right under the teacher bunny, but they are two separate images.  These are so sweet and fun to color.

Thanks for visiting!  Happy Stamping!

I Brake for October’s Flower of the Month!

Hello from design team member, Heidi.  October’s Birth Flower is the Calendula.  This is also called the English Marigold and comes in shades of yellow, orange and peach.  It is a really pretty flower, and goes well with fall colors.

I colored the flower with alcohol markers and fussy cut it out. I paired it with a lovely plaid paper and added a birthday sentiment to finish off the card.  

This stamp is available in the regular size, that I used, and a jumbo size!  They both can be found HERE.  The birthday sentiment is part of this great sentiment set.  

Thanks for visiting today!  Happy Crafting!

I Brake for Lions!

Hello from designer, Heidi!  If you are looking for a stamp that makes a statement all on its own, you might be interested in the Lion Face stamp I am using today.  I enjoyed making this card so much, this stamp has amazing detail that stamps so easily!

I first made a loose watercolor background.  I stamped the lion right over it and hand cut it out.  I had this cool paper from a camping patterned paper pack that it happened to coordinate perfectly.  I thought this sentiment circle, from this sentiment set, looked like something that might be stamped onto a box for your safari trip - so that worked out great, too.  

If you like this style of stamp, also check out the coordinating Prowling Cougar & Bear Square stamps!   The I Brake for Stamps store is always open for your to browse!
