Hi all! I hope you hopped here from Taylor’s blog. If not, go back to the InStyle Stamps blog so you can see all the fun projects today. Our theme is Christmas in July. I am happy to announce that I now have 6 Christmas cards ready to go in December. :)
Here is my card:
This image is wonderful for making some quick cards.
Now hop on over to Cathy’s blog to see what she has done and keep on hopping all the way to the end for a surprise :)
Since back to school is just around the corner (Yippee) Sherry asked us to make a card using our High School or college colors. Unfortunately, both my schools shared the same colors, brown, orange and white. The good news is that I could make a fun fall card.
I used Jocelyn from InStyle Stamps to create this card. She is such a cutie and a fun image to color. I used BasicGrey Indian Summer and a few buttons and flowers to add to this card.
Please be sure to check out the other Friday Fun Chicks.
We would love to see what you create. Just leave us a link in the comments so we can see your work.
You should have hopped here from Keely's blog, if not you will want to go back to Queen Kat Designs Blog to be sure to check out all the wonderful things the Design Team has done this week. This is inspiration week and our inspiration this week is CUPCAKES. Any cupcakes.
Here is the inspiration I used:
Those were the mini brownie bites I made for my girl’s Birthday in February. I like the confetti sprinkles and the soft colors.
This is my last hop with Queen Kat. I want to take a minute to thank Vicki and the designers for a the opportunity to work with them the past 6 months. I have learned a lot and have grown as a card maker. I wish you all the best of luck in your future endeavors.
Now hop on over to Erika's blog to see what she has done this week and wish her a fond farewell as well. Be sure to go to the Queen Kat Designs Store to check out the new stamp lines.
Welcome to another Royal Kat Tuesday. You should have come here from Keely's blog, if not, you will want to go back to the Queen Kat Designs Blog
This week we have our Color Challenge to share with you. Our colors this month are Red, White and Blue. When I think of this color combo I think of Memorial Day, July 4th, parades and fire works. I decided to do a scrapbook page as something a little different.
I used the “Birds of a Feather” set and more Happy Stixx on my project. This time I used the printed word “Dad” and the ends of other sticks I used to write the labels for the other pictures. The pictures were from our Memorial Day Parade this year and the sentiment reads “That noise you hear is the sound of freedom.” I think it fits this page perfectly.
Now hop on over to Erika's blog and don’t forget to stop at the Queen Kat Designs Store to check out the new lines of stamps.
Happy Birthday wishes to our fearless leader over at InStyle Stamps Nenane (aka Virginia). We are taking you on a virtual vacation for your special day, complete with “Stylish” luggage tags. While visiting me in Northern Maryland, I would take you to a place I KNOW you will love. No trip out to Maryland would be complete without a visiting the Offray Ribbon Outlet. You would be like a kid in a candy shop. :) And maybe we could celebrate with a cake from Charm City Cakes (home of Ace of Cakes) too (since this is a virtual trip we are using virtual money for this part ;) )
You should have hopped here from “Y” If you are just starting the hop here you will want to go back to the InStyle Stamps Blog to be sure not to miss a thing along the way.
Why don’t we take a nice little breather for a second. Breath in, Breath out….
Now that we have taken a break between words let’s start the next one

Ho ho ho! Merry….July? OK, I know we have quite some time before the snow begins to swirl and our credit cards start smoking from all our purchases, but we have pulled out the Holiday images a little early with InStyle Stamps. Today we have switched from Halloween images to Christmas. My first Christmas card of the year is finished and I think it may just go to the Big Guy himself.
The image is so cute and easy to color I didn’t want to fuss it up too much, so I just left this card a bit on the simple side, but I think it works. Maybe I need to look for some little cookie shaped brads? Wouldn’t that be adorable in the corners?
I hope you enjoyed today’s peaks. Don’t forget tomorrow is new release day!!! We will be partying over at Paper Craft Planet. Come join us in the InStyle Stamps group. We will have games, a challenge and some prizes too. Invite your friends!!!!
Hi all. I have a very exciting post to share with you today. I have a couple of my cards over on the Operation Write Home (OWH) Stars and Stamps blog today. This week’s challenge is to make cards suitable for our Hero’s to mail home to kids. I usually try to include several of these in may packages that I send, because I know how much the kids really appreciate getting cards when Mom or Dad are far away from home.
I used two of the Chloe images from InStyle Stamps, Cupcake Chloe and Fairy Chloe, and OWH S&S Sketch #8.
Let’s see what kind of kids card you can make. Be sure to provide a link to your work on the Stars and Stamps Blog.
Thanks for stopping bye. I’ll be back at 3:00 with more InStyle Stamps samples.
