Sending Cheerful Thoughts...

Hi Everyone, it's Robyn here today.  I have a card to share with you that uses a stamp sheet that's perfect for mass producing cards of many different occasions.  The stamp sheet is called Inspirational Plate #2.  It has lovely sentiments for: thank you, thinking of you, friendship, encouragement, and quotes from inspirational people of days gone by.  I love sheets like this and the font on each of the different sentiments is just beautiful, not to mention versatile.  Hope it brings you a bit of cheer.

Thank so much for stopping by today.  =)

Feline Femme

Good morning everyone!  How are you on this beautiful Tuesday?  The spring weather has finally arrived and I don't know about you but it perks me up to see the sun and feel the warmth, finally.  So in my happy mood I am going to share with you today's project using the rubber stamp, Feline Femme.  I am really falling in love with the Femme's and have already decided that I need more!  They look so beautiful when they are colored and really make a project pop.

Thanks so much for stopping by,

I Brake For Nurses!

Hi All, Kristen here with a crazy, silly card for you today. I haven't shared with you, but I am a Registered Nurse and I am crazy about medical and nursing images. The crazier, the better, and this Stella Nurse image is just hysterical....I made this card for my cousin who will be graduating nursing school. I tried to mix the school theme with the nurse image for the whole effect.  This would also make a great humorous get well card. Well, I hope you enjoyed the card and I hope you had a wonderful weekend. Happy Stamping!

I Brake For Really Cute Mice!

Hello everyone! 

 Today I'm sharing a super cute pair of stamps that I just love!  They're both from I Brake For Stamps as is the Happy Birthday verse.  The mice stamps are Mouse and Cheese Slide and Mouse and Cheese.  I stamped one of the mice twice and cut out the head so he could peek out of one of the Swiss Cheese holes.

 I used Spellbinders circle dies to cut the holes and make the circles and frame for the verse.

I printed words off my computer for the inside.

The border along the inside was made made with an EK Success border punch.

Celestial Fairy

Hi everyone, it's Tuesday so I'm back with another post using a great I Brake For Stamps image.  This week I am using the image Celestial Fairy and it is a cute one.  I often color any celestial images in deep blues and yellows, and that is what I did here as well.  If you would like a complete list of the colors I used when coloring this sweet image then click HERE to get to my blog, which is where you will find that list.

Of course all fairies must have plenty of sparkle and this fairy sparkles even more with her moons and stars!

So glad you stopped by,

I Brake For Flowers!

Happy Easter all, Kristen here with a card for you today.  I used the sunflower bucket stamp from I Brake For Stamps, and some new DP I have recently purchased, and came up with this card. Had I planned better, I would have used more Easter themed colors, but spring is here, so I think this should work. 
   I absolutely love the watering can in this stamp, as it looks so real, and I feel that it really makes the flowers pop, don't you think?  Well, I hope you all had a wonderfully holiday and enjoy the rest of you weekend!

I Brake For Beautiful Lighthouses!

Hello everyone.

 Today I'm sharing a sympathy card with you. I sell a lot of my cards and take orders locally. My second biggest request behind birthdays are sympathy cards. I sold 3 last week and when my sister called for one she was upset to learn that she had missed out on this one.  I'll make her another one of course but I couldn't get it done in time for the person she wanted when she called.

The beautiful image is from I Brake For Stamps and it's called LARGE LIGHTHOUSE.

I colored it with Copics.  Since there's minimal coloring with this image and it's so large this card came together very quickly...always a plus.

Cammy in the Wind

Hi everyone, it's Tuesday again so it's Marlena here to share a card with you.  Today I used another great image from Chelsea Le Designs, Cammy in the Wind.  This little cutie is perfect for our late March weather here in the northeast.  We have plenty of wind, which will hopefully mean that the warmer spring weather will be blown on in!  Let's hope so, I am ready for some fun in the sun!

I try to vary my colors as much as possible since I often create several projects every week.  This time around I used oranges and yellows.  Pretty early spring colors, don't you think?

I'm glad you stopped by,

Easter! It's not just for bunnies..

Hey Brake Fans!!
Today I'm sharing a super cute image called Daisy Pot Shy Bear. 

I got some new paper and embossing folders and have been dieing to use them.

I thought the yellow paper would be cute with this stamp.

The great thing about daisies is they look like so many other flowers.  I made them Brown Eyed Susans to match my paper.

 Inside I used HAPPY EASTER.

 There are TONS of Shy Bear stamps and you can find them all HERE.

Lilies

Hi everyone, Marlena here to share with you a card I made using the I Brake For Stamps image, Lilies.  With Easter being right around the corner I thought this image would be great for a card.  We always have lilies on the altar at church at Easter time.  I wish spring were following along, we could use spring right about now!

I hope you are enjoying better weather in your neck of the woods than we are!

Thanks so much for stopping by,

I Brake For Cammy In The Wind!

Happy Saturday, Kristen here this afternoon with a Cammy card for you today.  If you haven't noticed, I just love these Chelsea Le Designs at I Brake For Stamps. I just think she is adorable, and in case you missed it earlier in the week, I brake for Stamps added 3 new images to their store ....Wahooo...
   For my card today, I used a simple sketch, and this beautiful red and blue DP, which I think really makes the image pop. You see, I am more of a bold brights, rather than a pastel kinda girl....LOL....Well, I have a few minutes to play, so I am going to take the opportunity to get inky. Have a great weekend and happy stamping :)

Blossom Fairy Cammy

Hi everyone!  Marlena here again with another Cammy image to share with you.  This rubber stamp is Blossom Fairy Cammy and just screamed spring at me.  Although I don't feel like we have had all that difficult of a winter I am ready for it to be over!  Also, I LOVE BUTTERFLIES!  I mean spring, fairies, butterflies, how can you possibly go wrong?!

Isn't she the sweetest?!  We should be seeing more of these spring colors soon!  My fingers are crossed, how about you?

I Brake For Bunnies!

Happy Sunday, Kristen here with a little bunny card for you tonight. I used the Bunny tail End stamp and the Some Bunny Loves You sentiment stamp, both by I brake for stamps and both on sale!!!! I just love how the bunny is upside down. I will be sending this card to my Niece for Easter. I hope you all got a chance to play with your stamps this weekend. Enjoy your week. Happy Stamping!

I Brake For Raspberry Blossoms!

                                                                  Hello everyone!
Today I'm sharing a beautiful new stamp that I just got from I Brake For Stamps.It's called Kerr Jar, which I have to admit I didn't understand the name until I noticed the brand of mason jar was Kerr.  (obviously I don't can)  The berries and flowers are so pretty.  I just had to have this stamp.

I stamped the image in a light gray ink so that the jar would look as clear as possible.

Fashion Lady #7

Hi everyone, Marlena here today with a project for you using Fashion Lady #7.  I used red and turquoise for my color combination on this project.  I liked the way these two colors looked together and I thought I would try them out for myself.  This color combination is of course inspired by Pinterest.  Thank you to my sister-in-law for pinning these fabulous colors!

Easter Bunny Bear

Hi Everyone, it's Robyn here today.  Happy March 1st! =)  Easter falls on March 31st this year, so it's time to "brake" out those Easter/Spring papers and make some Easter projects.  I have an adorable little Bunny Bear stamp to share with you today.  He's all ready with his little basket of eggs.    This stamp comes already cut and mounted on cling foam, too!

Hope this little guy inspires you.  You can find this stamp in the IBFS store HERE.
