Sweet Stamps Lucky challenge

Hello my dear crafty friends and welcome to Sweet Stamps Lucky challenge week.

Are you lucky? Maybe just try our challenge and you will be our lucky winner.

Here is my Lucky card . I didn't have any " lucky" stamps, so I just stamped the script background and made it green and with a shamrock and even added those lucky brads and yes, I feel lucky in my life, with or without the card.

So join use on this Lucky Sweet Stamps challenge and make you own luck.

Inspired by Stamping November release Day 2: Vintage pieces

Hello my dear crafty friends! Day 2 of our new November Inspired by Stamping Vintage release brings you a most lovely vintage set, the one you will use again and again and again. As I wanted to show you all stamps from this set, I decided to make a set of 5 ATC and to use most of the stamps over and over. All stamped were inked with a permanent black ink over black white ATC cards and misted with a mix of 3-4 mists for this vintage look. ATC are usually pretty flat, so I just added some flat embellishments, such as brads, die cut film strip, some round bubbles that fitted the stamped shapes perfectly and some word stickers for the saying, as ATC is a statement, not just a lovely piece of stamped art.

So here are my 5  darlings and you just need this stamp set! Run and buy it in a few days when it is in IBS shop.
 And as always we have a great giveaway in the shop: comment  and you can win the set of the same day and all printable too. The winner will be announced the next day.
And now for the full list of our designers for today. Please, visit them all and leave them some love.

IBS August realease Day 1: Basic Backgrounds and Guy Sentiments

Hello my dear crafty friends!
Welcome to August release of our new and gorgeous  Inspired by Stamping Masculine stamp sets.
Today  we are going to show you two of those 6 stamps sets: Basic Backgrounds #4 and Guy sentiments.

The sentiment set is full of great masculine sentiments and some small and lovely masculine images, so I picked one and added  3 other images on the journaling card I used as my sentiment spot background. I also added some black enamel paint over the elements to make them pop of the spot.

I used a couple of vertical strips here and one of them  was stamped with one of 3 backgrounds from the new set. This was my third color " add- on" and red was just perfect for those cardstocks and then I decided to add some old and forgotten brads we all keep and never use. It's like " play your life's game" (with the word Life over the metal key) and win!
And now for the other designers projects for today. Please comment and leaver us all some love!

Visible Image Friday: For your special day

Hello my dear stamping friends! Today is Friday and this is my new card made for my

Visible Image Friday post.

This time it's a shabby and not so usual Congrats card, that can be for Birthdays, but in the same way can be used for any other special day.
I made the background with Crackled Background stamp in brown over the patterned paper (Kaisercarfts  for the base). Then I added 4 punched borders and a tag (My Little Shoebox). The tag was embellished with art supplies (twine on spools, brads, buttons) and I added this Visible Image
 " For you on your special day" sentiment. And as I wanted to add some more greetings I used this Life is Grand sentiment from Chandelier  set on the bottom.

Here is a close up  of the sentiment

2 kinds of Valentine tags

I love tags. They are pretty, easy to make and can be used as a gift tags, so I make some just in case. And those 2 are this kind of Just in case tags. They are totally different ones: the first is background stamped and no patterned paper one, just Pretty Little Studio tags.

I stamped huge roses using Faber Castell DMC big brushes and Inspired by stamping Elegant flowers set. then colored it with FC gelatos.My sentiment stamps was stamped over the PLS flashcard and I added a flower from IBS shop, made some hand cross stiching  and added a lot of ribbons and pins.
The second tag is quite an opposite one: patterned paper (Glitz) hand cut tag and the focal point is stamped with IBS Post cards set. I also added a brad, old chain, some flowers and a lace from Handmade Halo shop.And washi tapes. My ultimate love those days.

Altered tin to use as a magnet

Sometimes I have this passion to alter a very small items and this mint tin is such an item. Hard to fit a lot of staff inside or outside, but I think I really like the final result of this Mixed Media piece.
This is a closed tin

I covered the lid with some tissue  recycled paper, then added some TH tissue tape, then covered with more tissue and then added some TH stickers and some 7 Gypsies tape over and a key. Then I  added some EYELET OUTLET brads, ART letters from AC Thickers covered it with ICE RESIN layer and then, when it was dry, I splashed a few " blood drops" with red paint. The title says that art is a wonderful lifetime adventure. And then I worked inside:

You can use this opened too.
I added those Imagine-Inspire and Timeless words over   for vision (light), writing (pen ) and time and covered it with a very think layer of Ice resin to keep all parts inside forever.
