September Stamp release *Inspired By Stamping*

I can't believe that Christmas is just around the corner. We've hit the "ber" months and that means only one thing...the Holidays are upon us. Celebrations of all kinds will be going on in the next few months and what better way to get prepared than to start those Christmas cards early or "earlier" this year.

Well I got some good news for you. Inspired by Stamping September release is just the right package of holiday stamps that you will need to bring some "handmade" touch to your holiday projects. 

Today's release shares are the Holiday Sentiment and Holiday Washi tape stamps. Here's the projects that I made with these sets...

Merry Little Christmas card
I printed off one of the printable tags that IBS is offering this month and then stamped my sentiment in the center with brown ink. I then used the Washi tape stamps as border strips, stamping them in red and light blue (to match the border color of the printable tag) and then cut them into strips then adhered them to my card. I also added a red flower (available in the IBS store) to add some textured accent in my card. 


Merry Christmas and Happy New Year card
With this project, I used the Washi Tape stamped strips as banner strips on my card. I punched out a decorative frame from white cardstock and used that to hold my stamped sentiment. I inked the edged with red ink pad to make it stand out better against the background. 



So there you have it. Looking for more inspiration? Here's the list of blog hoppers today...
