Feel Better Soon w/Creative Worship

September brings us another AWESOME NEW Release at Creative Worship Stamps.  This month's release includes two gorgeous new Stencils, encouraging sentiment stamps with coordinating dies, a very cool Vintage Postcard Stamp Set, a Clipboard Stamps Set, florals and fun.  And as of today, it's time for the September Instagram Hop where one lucky person will WIN a $25 credit at Creative Worship Stamps.

You can start the Insta Hop by visiting Creative Worship on Instagram.  There's SO much amazing inspiration on this hop, and you'll see new and creative ways to use the NEW Release items and other products from Creative Worship.  For this card, I used black cardstock layered with white cardstock.  I painted the white cardstock with Picked Raspberry, Twisted Citron, and Seedless Preserves Oxide Inks.  I splattered it with water to leave some water stains.

I stamped the background piece using the fabulous NEW Vintage Postcards Stamp Set, Going Postal and Texture Tiles 1 Stamp Set.  There's also a really COOL NEW Vintage Labels Stamp Set that I love.  On this card, I only used it once (for the # hashtags), but it has so many cool images/words in it; and it coordinates (SO COOL) with the Tabs Tickets & More Dies, making it even COOLER yet.  The sentiments were stamped in the various colors of Oxide Ink using the NEW Typed Thoughts Stamp Set and were cut using the coordinating NEW Typed Thoughts Dies.

The NEW Clipboard Stamp Set was used to stamp the cute clipboard.  I stamped the clip part twice.  I hand cut the second clip, placed it on 3-D White Foam Tabs, and raised it up to look like an actual clip.  Pretty cool new stamp!  A few sequins were the finishing touch.

Thanks so much for visiting me here today.  Don't forget to stop by Creative Worship on Instagram to hop along for your chance to WIN a $25 credit at Creative Worship Stamps.  I always appreciate your comments, thoughts and encouragement.  I hope I'll see you over on Instagram, friends.

The Power of Prayer w/Stamp Simply

All of us at Stamp Simply hope you had a wonderful Christmas and a safe New Year.  Here we are in a brand new year full of possibilities.  One of the most important parts of approaching a new year is to be sure to PRAY.  Stamp Simply has so many wonderful stamps that will help you let others know that you're praying for them.  Today I'm sharing a card that does just that.

This card started with tuxedo black cardstock that I layered with a pretty floral patterned paper from the Carta Bella Gather at Home 6x6 Paper Pad.  I machine stitched the papers together.  Next, I stamp the 23rd Psalm (Deepest Sympathy Stamp Set) onto a circle that I cut using Circle Dies.  I ran a length of 1/4" Silk Ribbon across my card.

I used that 1/4" Silk Ribbon to tie my bow and also added in some Seafoam Green Baker's Twine topped with a small Paper Flower.  The beautiful tulip as well as the sentiment are found in the Get Well Tulip Stamp Set, and the sentiment was stamped onto a trip cut using the Fishtail Sentiment Banner Dies.  I cut it using the coordinating Get Well Tulip Dies.  I sprayed the sentiment pieces with White and Bundled Sage Ink Spray.  Let me know if you have any questions.  I'm always happy to help.
