A couple of Sneak Peeks!

New images coming this week!!

For the "Beloved" card I used the Grand Nestabilities Labels One (Can't get

enough of them!)

The lace image behind the main focal image is from the With Love sheet from the Time To Stamp line.

The pillow box is a template I grabbed from here. The large leaf flourish was stamped in Weathered Wood distress ink, after I inked up the template in Tea Dye ink.

enjoy your week!!

Be Mine

Hi Suzanne here today to show you my little creation using some I Brake For Stamps stamps.

As Valentines Day is just around the corner, I of course created a heart.

I had a heap of fun creating this heart for my hubby.  I have used the Writing Background stamp and Flourish stamp.  I have to say the Writing Background is one of my favs, I use it heaps.

For all the details check out my blog

See you soon.

Poppy collage

Hi! I love vintage and collage cards and this stamp does both with little work on my part!
I just had to color it up-the stamp has it all! I used POPPY TILE COLLLAGE from I BRAKE FOR STAMPS to make this card. I cut out the center piece and popped it up on dimensionals.
Here's the link to my blog post at Cottage Creations.
Thanks! Cheryl

Lovely Miss Rachel

Isn't little maternal Miss Rachel just super sweet? This is the Miss Rachel w/Baby Bunny stamp from I Brake for Stamps and I really love it! I know I say that a lot about the IBFS stamps, but it is simply true! They are really easy to create with and are very versatile. I colored this in using my Letraset Promarkers to match the G45 Springtime in Wonderland paper collection that I used on my card.



Lots of yummy layers of pretty papers going on. I stitched a floral pattern around the edges but it doesn't really show up in the photo. The sentiment is a rub-on that I had in my stash that I added to a banner that I stamped onto the patterned paper and cut out. The yummy silk bow was tied using my Bow-Easy from I Brake for Stamps (my fave tool!)

Thanks so much for stopping by the IBFS blog, I hope you're having a great week so far!

Crafty Hugs,

Robyn

Soar....

Happy Middle of the Week from {Jane Bosi}

TTFN, Jane

I saw the beautiful "Love Coupon" stamp  from I Brake For Stamps and just had to have it!

I just kind of threw things on it and it worked!

I think I'm getting hooked on tags! :)

Kite Bear

It's Holly posting today. Have I mentioned how much I love the bears over at I Brake for Stamps? This Kite Bear is no exception, and he is perfect for birthday cards for little boys! I found some blue and green argyle paper and colored the bear and the kite to match, and then used the birthday sentiment from Every Day Phrases to complete this card.


Stamps: Kite Bear, Every Day Phrases
Ink: Tuxedo Black Memento
CS: Not Quite Navy, White, Marjolaine dp(Basic Grey)
Other: Copic Markers
Technique: Out of the Box

Bringing Comfort

It seems that we all need sympathy cards in our stash, doesn't it? 

It is certainly not the type of card we enjoy making, really, because of the occasion.  

But it is so much easier for me if I make them when I (thankfully) don't need one.  

And that is what I did today.

 

The sentiment is from a sheet of stamps called Penguins and More from I Brake For Stamps.  

Satin-trimmed organdy ribbon, pearls, and an embossing folder round out the supplies.  

I hope I don't need to use this card for a long time! 

 

You can read more about this at my blog. Have a wonderful day!

Little Miss Rachel

I created this "Thank you" card for a friend of mine using the adorable "Miss Rachel in the Garden" stamp from I Brake for Stamps. Bunnies seem to be all the rage right now, aren't they? Little Miss Rachel just gives me hope that Springtime will come. It's been such a gray, cold, long winter already and I for one am really ready for warmer, sunnier weather. :c)


I used my Letraset Promarkers to color in Miss Rachel in the Garden.



I stitched around the edges with my sewing machine; I have been doing that a lot lately. I really like the texture and finished look that it adds.

There are other Miss Rachel stamps at IBFS HERE.

Super fun Spring card to create. I hope it brings you a bit of sunshine today. I appreciate you stopping by. More details about what I've used on the card are available on my blog.

Hope you have a great weekend!

"Kerr Jar"

Hi Everyone!

True :D here.

I thought I would share my "Blackberry Blossoms" card that I did last week, with you.

It is done with I Brake For Stamps ~ Kerr Jar stamp.

It was such a fun image to color!

For all of the details, please visit my blog.

Hugs,

True :D

Distressed Cowboy

I went with a masculine, distressed approach for this card. The papers from Cosmo Cricket's Wanted line were a good starting point, but I wanted to mess them up a bit more. I stamped Holly's Tattered Background from I Brake for Stamps onto the patterned paper, and then I used the Distressed Papers technique to age it even further. The cute little cowboy is from Cosmo Cricket's Wanted chipboard sheet as well as the little leaf medallion. I found this cool barbed wire twill at a LSS last year and I just had to use it with this cowboy card.



Stamps: Holly's Tattered Background from I Brake for Stamps
Ink: Vintage Photo distress
CS: Black, Cosmo Cricket Wanted
Other: Cosmo Cricket Wanted chipboard sheet, distress tool, sandpaper, ribbon (Creative Imaginations)
Techniques: Distressed Papers, Worn Wallpaper (Technique Junkies)

Sweet Joy!

Hellllllooooooo, Brakers!! {Jane Bosi} sharing a quick card with lots of bling sure to put some joy on your face!! I simply adore this sweet image from I Brake For Stamps and Rick St. Dennis called, Sweet Joy! I've copic colored her, added some Stickles for bling and a technique (or two) for good measure! The background is made using the October 2010 TJNL technique, Texture Duet. You can read all the rest of my blah, blah over at my blog, janesaddiction!

Sneak Peek - Mowlene

"When it is 105 degrees in the shade, I don't care what the neighbors say."

Isn't Mowlene a hoot???? ROFL! She is one of the new Humorous Seniors that I Brake for Stamps will have in the store very soon. This is a little sneaky peeky for you. You need to go to the I Brake for Stamps store and check out the rest of the Seniors. You're gonna love 'em!

I stamped Mowlene and colored her with Copic markers before cutting her out. I wanted to have some "grass" for her to mow, so I pulled out my Martha Stewart fringe scissors and just started cutting. I crimped some yellow paper and adhered it to the inside of this die cut window card so they look like mini blinds. The "stucco" look of the house comes from stamping Holly's Tattered Background on the card base - it is such a versatile background! I love it!!


Stamps: Mowlene - available soon! & Holly's Tattered Background (I Brake for Stamps)
Ink: Aqua (Adirondack), Tuxedo Black Memento, Old Paper distress
CS: white, Garden Green
Die Cut: Four Pane Window A2 Card from Creative Cuts and More
Other: butterfly punch, crimper, Martha Stewart fringe scissors, silver pearls, Copic markers

Inspired by Barbie!

I made this for today's Splitcoast Inspiration Challenge 268: Barbie Collectibles . . . I chose this Garnet Birthstone Barbie. I love the rich color of garnet and it was perfect for the image I wanted to use.
My heart image is by I Brake For Stamps and is called Small Primrose Heart Collage.

More details are available at my blog! Have a great Saturday!

Cafe' Fleurs

I have to confess that as soon as I saw this Cafe' Fleurs stamp on the IBFS website that I immediately added it to {what I affectionately call} my IBFS Yumminess Wish List; I think it is just SO incredibly pretty! To me, it epitomizes what I would want a quaint little French cafe' to look like.

I colored it in using my Letraset Promarkers. (I am having so much fun learning to use those!) If you'd like to know more about what products were used, I have it on my blog.

I hope you have a wonderful weekend.

Vintage Bird

Hi, hope you all are having a fab week so far.  Today I would love to show you my latest tag, this is one of my favourite tags so far that I have created, let me know what you think, but honestly I don't think the photo has done the tag any justice, it really looks so much better in real life. My grandson, who is 11, was watching me make this tag and he said to me "Nan when you finish that one, may I have it, it's really cool", I was pretty stoked, so guess what he has it now.

The stamp is from the Birds and Butterflies full sheet and sentiment is from a fabulous Music Collage quarter sheet from I Brake For Stamps, you can check it out here. I just love these stamps.

I have some closeup shots on my blog  and the deets for your info.

Thanks for looking.

I'm Not Messy.. I'm Creative

Hi, Regan Here! So this week I thought I would get out of my box a little. I decided to get a little messy and have some fun. I used some paint, grunge board, scraps and the Be My Valentine Girl Stamp to create this fun little notebook!

The Stamp started like this......

Then I colored her and cut her out. I added some messy paint to her dress and popped her up on some flowers. I also glimmer misted her with Creme De Cocoa. By cutting the girl out you can use her for even more projects! How cute would she be on a birthday card!

For more photos and information please visit my blog!

Thanks for stopping by,

Birthday Card

For this card I used these stamps:

Birthday Background

Birthday Sheet

For the Shape of the card I used the Grand Nestabilities Labels One

Flap Fold Silhouette

The TLC Challenge on Splitcoaststampers this week is to create something with silhouettes. Well......... I only have a million silhouette stamps here, so of course I had to play with this challenge. LOL

I wanted to create one of the cards from the Fancy Folds and Motion CD (this CD is available at I Brake for Stamps - click HERE), and the Flap Fold card looked like the perfect one to combine with silhouettes. I pulled out the Stampinbak silhouettes that I bought from I Brake for Stamps and formulated a plan.

I picked the Floral Silhouette Bouquet and stamped it with blue ink onto some patterned paper. Then I stamped it again with Versamark onto a coordinating patterned paper and brushed it with some shimmmery blue chalk. Cutting the cardstock took longer than stamping and adhering this card together, so it was a nice quick project. And because I didn't add any embellishments, this card will be easy to mail! Gotta love that! :-) Now who should I mail this card to?? Any ideas??

By the way - type in "silhouettes" in the search box and you will see some more gorgeous floral silhouettes from IBFS. Love em!

Stamps: Floral Silhouette Bouquet, Every Day Phrases - I Brake for Stamps
Ink: Marina Mist, Versamark
CS: Marina Mist, White, Annalee (Prima)
Other: shimmer chalk
Technique: TLC308 (SCS), Flap Fold card (Fancy Folds and Motion CD)
