Fun Instagram Hop w/Creative Worship Stamps

If you love a good challenge, then we've got one ready for you over at Creative Worship Stamps.  Yes, there's a monthly challenge on the Creative Worship Stamps VIP Facebook Page where you can play along to WIN a $25 Creative Worship Stamps gift card.  AND....today also starts this month Challenge IG Hop where the theme is Use Your Scraps.  This is what I came up with using some scraps I had left on my table.  The card was made from two panels that were stencilled using Korin's fabulous stencilling ideas.  I used the negative side for the base and the other piece for the small cuts.

I used a white cardstock layered with black cardstock.  The top layer is a piece of Watercolor Paper that, like I said, was stencilled using the Jumbled Diamonds Stencil and Oxide Ink Sprays.  I cut that panel using the Postage Stamp Cover Plate Die and adhered that to my other base layers.  Next, I stamped the background of my card using the Vintage Snippets Stamp Set and the Library Card Stamp.

The background, and card in general, are a mess.  I rather like the messy look.  There are just SO many great stamps at Creative Worship Stamps to help you make fun cards.  That fun little dragonfly is found in the Funky Flutters Stamp Set.  The sentiment was stamped using the Typed Thoughts Stamp Set onto another stencilled paper scrap, and I cut it with the Typed Thoughts Dies.

Be sure to head over to the Creative Worship Stamps IG Page to get started on this fun hop for your chance to WIN.  Thanks so much for visiting me here today.  I'm always so grateful to have you visit and leave me a note.  Happy crafting, sweet friends.

Thinking of You With Love

As May comes to an end, I really wanted to share one more card using some of the fabulous NEW Release from Creative Worship.  All the new products from Creative Worship are amazing, but there are a few items in the May Release that you really won't want to miss.  The Postage Stamp Cove Die is a NEW and fabulous die that you will absolutely LOVE and use a lot.  I've been having so much fun creating with it; as with all the fabulous products from Creative Worship.

I used basic black cardstock that I layered with pink cardstock and a Crate Paper patterned paper.  Next, I used white cardstock to cut the background using the fantastic NEW Postage Stamp Cove Die.  I stamped the background of this piece using the NEW Flowering Branch Stamp Set.  it made a quick and easy background.

The NEW Flowering Branch Stamp Set has proven to be a truly fantastic stamp set.  You can see how quickly and easily it allowed me to create this card.  I used it on the background as well as for the darker floral image that I fussy cut and raised up with 3-D Foam Tabs for more dimension.  The two sweet sentiments are also found in the Flowering Branch Stamp Set.

I really appreciate your visit here today and I sincerely hope that you'll take the time to visit Creative Worship Stamps to see what's new.  These fabulous new products sure have been great to work with, and I hope you can experience all the creativity that awaits you when you shop at Creative Worship Stamps.

Vintage Sewing Card & Tag w/Creative Worship Stamps

I'm loving the New Release from Creative Worship Stamps SO much that I can't stop using these awesome new products.  I really wanted to squeeze in one more card this month so that I'd have an excuse to use these products again.  The vintage sewing themed card I'm sharing today features just a few of the many fabulous items in the NEW May Release from Creative Worship.  The Postage Stamp Cover Plate Die Set is one of my most favorite things released this month.  I can't seem to put it away.  LOL

I used black cardstock that I cut using the Stitched Rectangle Frame Dies for the base of my card.  Next, I cut the inside frame base using the NEW Postage Stamp Cover Plate Die Set.  The papers I used are from a vintage dress pattern.  I layered two cuts from the dress pattern and cut them with the darling NEW Cover Plate.  Next. I used a piece of ruler patterned paper layered with more of the vintage dress pattern paper to create some accents.

I used the delicately layered papers to stamp the images (large and small hearts) using the NEW Postage Stamp Add-On Stamp Set and cut them using the coordinating Postage Stamp Cover Plate Die Set.  I placed some of them on 3-D Foam Tabs and placed them randomly about my card to add layers and texture (and cuteness).

I used the Tabs Tickets & More Dies to cut the little tabs I used to stamp the little sentiments.  Once I'd cut the tabs from the ruler patterned paper, I stamped them using the NEW Flowering Branch Stamp Set.  I placed several little tags and tickets around my card.  I just love the Tabs Tickets & More Dies because they offer SO much added cuteness.  And, they are super versatile and can be used in SO many ways on SO many cards.

I made the matching tag using an old 7 Gypsies tea-stained tag and covered it with dress pattern.  I used the Tabs Tickets & More Dies to cut the tags I used for my sentiments as well as the & sign.  The sentiments were stamped using the Worshipful Wordfetti Stamp Set.  There are so many fun stamps and dies at to lend your creativity endless possibilities.  I love how these little words in the Worshipful Wordfetti Stamp Set fit into small spaces to add small sentiments.

Thanks so much for visiting me here today.  I'm always so grateful to have you stop by my blog, and I'm also beyond grateful when you visit me anywhere.  I'm still trying to grow my Instagram Page; so if you wouldn't mind stopping by THIS LINK and Following me there, it would be greatly appreciated.  I'm always happy to Follow you back.  Just leave me a message.  I appreciate you all.  I really do.  Stay creative, friends.

Feel Better Soon w/Creative Worship

When it comes to making cards for Creative Worship Stamps, it's always FUN doing it.  I enjoy using these amazing stamps, dies, stencils and products each month.  The NEW Release for May is absolutely wonderful and I'm having SO much fun creating cards using these awesome new products.  They're wonderful.  If you haven't seen the entire New Release, I hope you'll stop by Creative Worship to take a peek.

This card started with kraft cardstock for the base, and I layered that with a piece of cream cardstock that I cut using the NEW Postage Stamp Cover Plate Die.  I also stencilled this piece using the NEW Rectangles & More Stencil.  I also used the NEW Postage Stamp Add-Ons Stamp Set to add the hearts, flowers and leaves to the backgound of my card.

The gorgeous flowers you see on my card were stamped using the gorgeous NEW Blooming Tulips Stamp Set.  The extra leaves at the bottom of my card are also found in the NEW Blooming Tulips Stamp Set.  I don't own the matching dies, so I hand cut my flowers.  This card is completely flat and perfect for mailing.  Creative Worship stamps are SO pretty!

I'd like to say thank you again for your visits to my blog.  I'm grateful beyond words to have you stop by and take a peek, say hello and visit me.  I appreciate it SO much; you'll likely never know how much it means to me.  I hope you're having a super creative week.  You can stop by Creative Worship any time you want.  We love to have you visit us.

New May Release at Creative Worship Stamps

Hello, sweet blog friends.  I'm so glad you've chosen to stop by here today and say hello.  It means so much to me when you do.  Today I'm sharing a sweet card for Creative Worship Stamps using some of their amazing NEW Release products.  Oh, my heart!  I am so loving ALL the new stamps, dies and stencils in this month's FAB New Release.

I started with basic black cardstock, and I layered that with a piece of purple woodgrain paper from The Craft Consortium that I cut using the Stitched Rectangle Dies.  I stamped the floral image onto a lighter piece of purple cardstock using the Flowering Branch Stamp Set, and I stamped the same image around the edges of the patterned paper.

I used the cool NEW Tabs Tickets & More Dies to add the little side-notch tab where I added the Thinking of You sentiment.  The two sentiments I used on this card are both found in the Flowering Branch Stamp Set.  I also added a cancelled stamp/postal image on the bottom left; and that's found in the Going Postal Stamp Set.  I also attached a bow that's tied with Purple Seam Binding.  Everything was stamped in purple Tim Holtz Oxide Inks.

As you can see, this NEW Flowering Branch Stamp Set makes it quick and easy to create a pretty card.  This card came together easily, and this format can be recreated by any crafter.  All the amazing stamps and dies from Creative Worship make it impossible to go wrong.  The creative possibilities are nearly endless.  You can find lots of that great inspiration on the Creative Worship IG Page.  Thanks again for stopping by my blog today.

Blessings,

Karen
