Homemade Wobble Card and Video How-to

The butterfly on this card is put on a wobble coil so that it "flutters" on the card.  Please scroll down to see the video on how to make the homemade wobble coil.

This card was so easy to make!  I used the "Hello Butterfly" stamp set by Mark's Finest Papers, a Heinrich Co.  I used my wobble on the butterfly to make him look like he was fluttering by.  Here's the details on the card:

Stamps:  Hello Butterfly
Paper:  Snow Storm Smooth, Lavender Lace, Elegant Eggplant
Ink:  Palette Noir Black, Lavender Lace
Misc:  4" florist wire, 3/4" circle punch to make wobble coil

I hope you enjoyed the video.  And I'll hope you'll try this fun technique.

Pansy Postage

Today's CAS challenge on SCS was to use "postage" on your card in some way.  I chose to use this wonderful pansy postage stamp by Mark's Finest Papers, a Heinrich Co.  The stamp set is called "Sending Happy Thoughts".  I also used my MS PATP pansy punches to punch the Breezy Blue card stock.  I think this would make a sweet get well card for someone who is under the weather.  We'll see.....

Stamps:  Sending Happy Thoughts
Paper:  Snow Storm Smooth, Breezy Blue by MFP
Ink:  Palette Noir Black, Tim Holtz Distress Ink Stormy Sky
Misc:  Spectrum Noir pens, MS PATP pansy punches

Speedy Fox & Friends Challenge

Today's Speedy Fox and Friends challenge is to use an image from one of the Christmas cards you received.  I loved this card (the one on the right in the photo above) sent from my good friend Kathy Bradley.  However, I couldn't bear to take it apart, so I cheated and copied the Santa from the front of the card and made my card for the challenge.  My card is a center step card.  The stamp set is called "Holly Jolly Greetings" by Mark's Finest Papers, a Heinrich Co.  I hope I'm not in too much trouble for not following the directions for the challenge! LOL

Stamps:  Holly Jolly Greetings
Paper:  Cherry Slush, imaginisce "Cottage Christmas" paper pad
Ink:  Palette Noir Black
Misc:  Copics, brads, pop dots

I hope you'll join us for the challenge this week.  You could win a great stamp set!

Happy Stamping!

Triple Layer Birthday

I made this card and liked it so much, I made 5 more.  I had never done a triple layer card before, but I love the way it turned out!  I did 2 in Primrose Petals, 2 in Raspberry Ripple and 2 in Gumball Green.  Very pretty.  I wish I had taken a picture of the other 2 colors, but I didn't.  Sorry.

Paper:  Snow Storm Smooth, Primrose Petals
Ink:  Primrose Petals
Misc:  none

I hope you have a very safe, happy and prosperous New Year!!!  See ya' in 2013 in blogland!
