You and Together Word stamp sets from Stamps By Me

Hello everybody

Are we all ok? Having fun crafting?

I'm so excited to share some of my DT samples for the new Word stamp sets released by Stamps By Me.
These are fantastic and each one consists of one large solid word stamp, and lots of add-on smaller sentiments. I LOVE big fonts so was in my element to be able to sample these 😊

So here are some of my makes, each using one of the Word stamp sets with some of Stamps By Me other stamp sets

For this sample I have used the You stamp set, in conjunction with the Follow Your Dreams and Butterfly lamination stamp sets
To create this look you stamp the Butterfly first,  mask it off then create a masked off square. Within the square you blend your inks and stamp your images
Once dry carefully remove tape to reveal your card

The Together stamp set was used for this sample, together with the cross stitch frame die and True Friends stamp set.
The background was created by blending Distress Oxides together and spritzing with water

I love how these Word stamp sets can be used with any of your other stamp sets 😊
I hope you got yours. If not head over to the Stamps By Me website

With Love die and True Friends stamp by Stamps By Me

Good morning everyone

Another weekend is upon us. What do you have planned?

Today's blog showcases the beautiful dies and stamps from Stamps By Me

These samples use the following :
True Friends
With Love die

Also used:
Distress Oxides : Wilted Violet, Cracked Pistachio, Worn Lipstick
Distress ink : Squeezed Lemonade

• Cut a mat of black card slightly smaller than your card blank and a mat of white card slightly smaller than this 
• Set the black mat to one side 
• Place some masking tape across where the stem of your stamped flower will be (wide enough for the sentiment die to fit in to)
• Ink up the solid stamp with the DO and stamp so the image goes across the masking tape
• Stamp the image again coming down from the top left of the card
• Remove masking tape and adhere to black card mat and then onto card blank 
• Cut the With Love die on black card and adhere the sentiment across the flower stem, in the masked off panel 

• For this sample I cut a square of black card and slightly smaller square of white card 
• I stamped a moon stamp I have, in black onyx versafine ink then masked it off.
• I used Worn Lipstick and Squeezed Lemonade to blend a background
• Using black onyx versafine I stamped the solid True Friends stamp,  just off the edge of the card
• The Amazing sentiment was also stamped in black versafine. Using a paint brush, I created moonlight rays by drawing lines with the brush dipped in water, then blotting the ink off with a paper towel.  I repeated this technique until I was happy with the density of the rays
• I adhered this to the black card and then onto the card blank with wet glue
• To complete I added a few clear gems 

Very simple but beautiful designs using these beautiful products. 

Thankyou for stopping by and hope to see you back here soon

Always Loved stamp set by Stamps By Me and Moon stamp by Bee Crafty

Good morning everyone

Hope you have a lovely Sunday planned

I'm sharing a card I made using the beautiful
Always Loved stamp set
True Friends stamp set

 by Stamps By Me 

Also used:
Moon stamp (Bee Crafty )
Distress inks : Salty Ocean, Tumbled Glass, Cracked Pistachio, Squeezed Lemonade, Worn Lipstick
Black onyx versafine ink

To begin I cut a panel of white card the width of my 6x6 card blank

I masked off a strip and stamped the Moon in Squeezed Lemonade and Worn Lipstick DI,  so only half the moon shows 

I then masked off the half moon and blended the blue DI'S on the top half of the panel and the cracked pistachio DI on the bottom. I also used torn paper to create the illusion of depth

Laying the stamped strip across my card blank, using temporary adhesive tape, I stamped the beautiful flowers onto the card blank, so they also stamped across the panel

I then adhered the strip with foam pads to add more depth to my card

To complete I stamped the sentiment from the True Friends stamp set, in black ink 

I hope you like my card

Enjoy your day

I thought I'd share a second blog post so this one features the

Cherry Blossom stamp set and die from
Honey Doo Crafts 

True Friends stamp set by Stamps By Me 

Also used:
Tim Holtz Mixed Media Thinlits
Distress Ink: Twisted Citron
Kuretake clean colour pens
Versmark ink
Gold embossing powder
Black onyx versafine ink

I cut a square of black card and a slightly smaller square of white card. I set the black mat aside

I masked off a section of the Upright Frame,  as I only wanted a "corner " stamped image. I inked up the stamp in the Twisted Citron, removed the tape and stamped the corner frame onto the white card

I die cut out the mixed media 

I stamped one of the Cherry Blossoms onto white card, in Versmark ink, and heat embossed in gold embossing powder 

I coloured it in with my kuretake clean colour pens 

I stamped the True Friends sentiment in black versafine ink, near the top corner of the white card

I matted the white stamped card onto the black mat then adhered this to the card blank. I then adhered the mixed media die cuts and the flower, to complete this card

I love the clean and simple look incorporating lots of different products

True Friends stamp set by Stamps By Me

Good morning everyone xx
It's Friday. ..Yay lol

Today I wanted to share another DT sample I made to showcase the beautiful
True Friends stamp set available from
www.stampsbyme.co.uk  
Also used:
Smokey Grey versafine ink
Kuretake clean colour pens

This is such a beautiful lamination stamp, with an outline and a solid stamp

I first cut some green card slightly smaller than my card blank and some white card slightly smaller than this 

On the white card I stamped the outline stamp in Smokey Grey versafine ink 

I inked up the stem, of the solid stamp, with a green kuretake clean colour pen and the flower heads with pink and purple pens. I spritzed with water then stamped over the outline image 

I stamped the big sentiment in Smokey grey versafine ink at the bottom

 I randomly stamped the smaller sentiment,  in the same ink, off the side of the page, using second generation stamping,  apart from one of them

This was matted onto the green card and then onto the card blank, to finish 

Thankyou for stopping by

Morning crafters

Hope you all have a lovely day

I'm sharing a DT sample I made to showcase the new
True Friends stamp set available from
www.stampsbyme.co.uk 

I first masked off a panel at the bottom of my A5 card blank

I stamped the outline stamp in Smokey Grey Versafine ink, making sure I stamped some off the page

I then inked up the solid stamp in Spun Sugar,  Spiced Marmalade and Squeezed Lemonade distress inks.  I spritzed the stamp each time, before stamping my image

I removed the masking tape and drew two black lines with a pen.

The sentiment was then stamped repeatedly, just under the lines, in black onyx versafine ink 

To complete I added a few clear gems

Many thanks for popping by

Morning crafters
How is everyone doing today? Any crafty plans?

Anyway, today I'd like to share a sample I made to showcase the beautiful new
True Friends stamp set by
Www.stampsbyme

I had a lot of messy fun creating this sample

To begin I cut a square of card smaller than my card blank

Using my pixie powders I created a shimmery background in teals,  greens and blues with a rich gold in there too

I stamped the outline stamps, and the sentiment, in black onyx versafine ink 

I then used the pixie powders and some Dyna paints to paint directly onto the solid stamp. I stamped over the outline stamps several times, using different colours to create a dimensional look to the flowers

I the cut this into two strips and matted each onto gold mirri then adhered both to the card blank with foam pads

I hope you like my use of this beautifulstamp

True Friends stamp set by Stamps By Me

Morning crafters
Any one up to some crafting today? What are you all working on?

I'd like to share a canvas I made yesterday using the beautiful
True Friends stamp set available from
www.stampsbyme.co.uk

I used different stencils and texture paste to create some dimension to the blank canvas

I then blended Spun Sugar, Worn Lipstick and Squeezed Lemonade distress inks all over the canvas 

Using a mixture of Smokey Grey and Black Onyx Versafine ink I stamped random textures around the canvas, holding each stamp in the palm of my hand. I find this creates a more random distressed effect ideal for mixed media

Versafine black onyx ink was used to stamp the main outline image 

Acrylic and Dyna paints were painted onto the solid stamp and these were stamped over the outline image. I heat blasted the flower before repainting and stamping the solid stamp to create more depth and dimension

Gilding wax was dragged from the edges randomly to create a metallic shimmer feel

To finish I highlighted some areas with a white gel pen.

Hope you like today's make
