Fun With Alphas IG Hop w/Creative Worship

 Are you ready for some real FUN and loads of FABULOUS inspiration along with the chance to WIN a fabulous $25 gift card to spend at Creative Worship Stamps?  Well, if so, we'd absolutely LOVE to have you stop by Creative Worship Instagram and hop along with us for your chance at this awesome prize.  Not to mention all the amazing inspiration you'll find.  Creative Worship Stamps carries several different Alphabet Stamp Sets (and number sets, and oodles of other fabulous stamps).  But this month, we're giving a closer look to all our awesome Alphabet Stamps and Big Blooms (florals).  My card today features both.

I used a black cardstock base and the second layer is white cardstock inked with oxide ink.  The third layer is a piece of Natural White Cardstock that I die-cut u sing the Stitched Rectangle Dies.  I stamped the background of this layer using the Typewriter Text Background Stamp, Vintage Postage and Going Postal Stamp Set.  then stencilled the background using the super cool Jumbled Diamonds Stencil (with Lucky Clover, Spun Sugar and Picked Raspberry Oxide Inks).  That pretty much covers everything used on the base of my card.

I used the AWESOME Polaroid Die Set and cut a frame from a piece of scrap cardboard.  I painted the cardboard with ivory acrylic paint and let it dry.  Once it was completely dry, I stamped it with the Going Postal Stamp Set and the Mini Grunge Type Alpha Stamp Set for the words (my friend).  In the center of the frame, I stamped the flower using the Patient Echinacea Stamp Set.  I painted the flower with the same colors of ink listed above and stamped my other Mini Grunge Type Alpha Stamp Set word.  I also stamped some cardstock using the rulers from the Vintage Snippets Stamp Set and cut some hearts using the Heart Dies to place around the frame.  A bit of Black Baker's Twine was wrapped around the frame and tied into a small bow.

Also, there's a fabulous SALE taking place right now where you can BUY 2 Alphabet Stamp Sets and GET ONE FREE.  Just use the code ALPHASTAMPS26 when checking out any time now through April 30.  There are so many awesome Alphabet Stamps available at Creative Worship Stamps so this is a great time to grab yourself a few new sets.

Oh, my goodness.  Did I mention everything I used here?  I sure hope so.  But if not, just ask me any questions you might have.  Creative Worship Stamps has so many great stamps, dies, stencils, inks and more to help you create some truly amazing art.  Stop on by my Instagram to join the FUN and inspiring Instagram Hop for your chance to WIN the $25 prize.  I hope to see you there.  Have a great week, everyone.
