Instyle Stamps

HI All,

I received this adorable digi stamp called "Kissing Birds" from Instyle Stamps and I just couldn't wait to use it....I thought it would make the cutest wedding card since the male bird has a top hat....

I found this pretty black and white swirl paper and this is how the card ended up....

Hope you like it...

Until next time....have a great time crafting...

Instyle Stamps March Blog Hop

Hi all,
Yep, it is that time again....time for another fun blog hop.

Instyle Stamps is hosting their monthly blog hop full of inspiration, great images and did I mention fun?
The theme is Easter.
If you stumbled upon my blog the blog hop starts at the Instyle Stamps Blog here.
If you came to my blog from Jodi's blog, you are on the right track....
.....I used Instyle Stamps image of an Easter Basket to create my card. I did not use the typical Easter eggs in a basket, instead I chose to use (for the first time) Flower Soft. I purchased this about 6-8 months ago and this is the first time I used it. I thought I would make an Easter basket full of flowers.



Here is my card with using the Easter basket and Flower Soft:

Hope you enjoyed the blog hop.....Your next stop is at Joy's blog....
Have fun....

Instyle Stamps "HULA DAYS"

Hi All,

I know this is a nice long post but full of yummy goodness and worth the read....

So all next week, we will have a Happy Hula Day's week.

Each day will feature a tid-bit of the islands as well as a few favorite design team projects featuring our old and NEW digital stamps we are releasing. You will be seeing Ariel our mermaid, Leila our dancing beauty and 4 new ones that will make your summer projects come alive.

Also during the week, we will have a special hula skirt for sale created by none other than Janelle, who is one of our dt members (she also created the button for the event.) And get this, it will only be $1.00.

So yeah you will even be getting some bargains! And just to jump start the festivities, if you grab the button and post it on your blog from now until the end of next week, we will be giving a free Leila digi away! Yay! I love Leila, she is too cute! Simply follow the Instyle Blog (if you are not already) and grab the button and post it on your blog/website for the entire week starting the day you visit Instyle. Then leave a comment here along with your email address (leave some spaces so you won't get spam) and they will be sending lovely Leila straight to you.

Also, if that isn't enough, if you leave a comment each day, they will be choosing 6 lucky winners to receive all the digitals being released on Saturday! And lastly we will have our favorite Island photo drawing. We want to see what makes the island special for you. All you have to do is post your favorite island photo on your blog/website and post a link to it. Make sure you tell theym why you like that photo so much in your post too. All those that participate will be entered into a drawing for some great prizes including some new spellbinder dies!

Instyle Sketch Challenge

Happy Tuesday everyone....and welcome to another Instyle Stamps sketch challenge...

I used the Instyle Stamps Angelfish for my design team card. You can find the Angelfish here. I put Liquid Glass all over the angelfish after I colored him to make him look glossy and shiny. The background paper reminded me of bubbles....plus it was blue, like water.

Here is my card using Angelfish...

Closer view of the Liquid Glass....

Have a fun filled week of crafts....
