Bonnie asked me to be the Featured Designer today and I was very flattered to oblidge.  I made a cover for a mini legal pad using 1/2 of a report binder.  I forgot that I was going to add the stickles to the holly berries and the white Flower Soft to the top of the bird house before I stopped the video, so I added them later.  Here's the video tutorial

 

 

 

 

Here's the details:

 

Stamps:  Snow Gifts, Holly Jolly Greetings

Paper:  Snow Storm Smooth, Christmas DSP

Ink:  Palette Noir Black, Real Red

Misc:  Copics, Flower Soft, Stickles, ribbon, report binder, mini legal pad

 

I hope you enjoyed the tutorial!  Thanks for stopping by today.

 

Happy Stamping!

Speedy Fox & Friends Blog Challenge

Our blog challenge for you this week is to use pumpkins on your card.  I not only have pumpkins in my image, but I had this wonderful pumpkin charm that I found in my stash!  I used the "Autumn Glory" stamp set again this week by Mark's Finest Papers, a Heinrich Co. I used 2 different ribbons on my card today too.  I had some really pretty orange sheer ribbon, and put the 1/4" grossgrain ribbon on top of it.  I like the way it came out. 

Stamps:  Autumn Glory
Paper:  Corn Husk, Orange from my stash, DSP
Ink:  Soft Suede
Misc:  Copies, nesties, ribbon, charm

I hope that you will play along with us this week.  Have a wonderful day!

Happy Stamping!

I did 2 cards today.  I love the cabin scene from today's featured stamp set, but I also had to use my new Cricut cartridge with the teddy bear fishing also!

 

For my top scenic cabin card, I stamped the image and colored it with my Prismas and baby oil.  I added diamond glaze to the lake to make it look like water.  It doesn't show up in the photo, but IRL it look really cool.  I also used Scenic Selections to add some birds and a little bit of grass. 

 

Stamps:  On the Fly, Scenic Selections

Paper:  Snow Storm Smooth, Always Artichoke, DSP

Ink:  Early Espresso, Always Artichoke

Misc:  Prismas, baby oil, ribbon, diamond glaze

 

For my second card I used my brand new Cricut cartridge called Teddy Bear Parade.  I used the litle fisher teddy.  I made this a gate fold card.  I stamped the background with VersaMark usiing the fish image from the set.  I then stamped the sentiment.

 

Stamps:  On the Fly

Paper:  Kraft, various from my stash

Ink:  Early Espresso, VersaMark

Misc: Cricut, Teddy Bear Parade cartridge

I just love this cute little set that we are featuring today.  Instead of making a card, I made a  post-it note cover.  I stamped the cracked background on my entire cover (front & back), stamped the hello and backed it with rose red paper and fussy cut my butterfly, colored it with my Copics, and popped it up on pop dots.  Added some rhinestoes & ribbon, and voila', done. Very fast and easy project.  I think I'm going to make a few more and give them to the girls at work.  I like projects that can be quickly mass produced. 

 

Stamps:  Cracked Hello

Paper:  Snow Storm Smooth, Rose Red

A Friendly Snowman and Falling Leaves

Yesterday's Inspiration Challenge site over on SCS was Pier One Imports.  There was so much inspiration to be found there!!!!  My first card is my cute little snow fellow from Mark's Finest Papers, a Heinrich Co.  I really love this stamp set.  I'm going to use it for some of my open house invitations.  Here's the details:

Speedy Fox & Friends Blog Challenge 1 Post Down~~Autumn Glory Birthday

This is my card for today's Inspiration Challenge over on SCS.  The site was a British site called Magpie.  I chose a mug with a beautiful pheasant as my inspiration for this card.  After I stamped and colored my image, I sponged around the edges with More Mustard ink.  I think it really added that "little something" that was needed.  The sentiment is stamped on a label that I cut out with my Cricut and my new CTMH cartridge called Art Philosophy.  The stamps that I used for my card are from Mark's Finest Papers, a Heinrich Co called "Autumn Glory".  The birthday sentiment is from "Bring on the Sun". 

Stamps:  Autumn Glory, Bring on the Sun (sentiment)
Paper:  Corn Husk, More Mustard, Cosmo Cricket "Matilda" mini deck
Ink:  Early Espresso
Misc:  Copics, ribbon, buttons, bakers twine, Cricut Art Philosophy cartridge

Thanks for stopping by again today.  I hope you liked both of my cards.

Happy Stamping!

Stamps:  Dogwood Blossoms
Paper:  Snow Storm Smooth, Pretty in Pink, Pink Pirouette
Ink:  Palette Charcoal, Pretty in Pink
