 The special stamp set we have for you this month is:

" OH Baby"

First, I must apologize for the quality of the photo.  It was cloudy when I took the picture, and I couldn't get it any brighter.  I had a lot of fun making this card.  I stamped the rose image with VersaMark ink, and used Speedy Cat Gold Detail embossing powder to emboss the image.  I then colored it with my Copics.  I cut out the image with my scalloped nesties, and then used gold metallic paper behind the rose image.  The background paper is sparkly, but you can't tell it in the photo.

 

Stamps:  Love Love Love

Paper:  Snow Storm Smooth, Pretty in Pink, Gold Metallic, DSP

Ink:  VersaMark

Misc:  MFP Gold embossing powder, nesties, ribbon, charm, pearls

I think this is a wonderful masculine stamp set!  I will be using it a lot for my masculine birthday cards in the coming months.  I made this card to give to my DH for our anniversary in March.  I had to make it a center step card, as it is my favorite style of card right now.  LOL

A Rose is a Rose.... Please scroll down one post for Speedy Fox & Friends Blog Challenge Post

Today's Inspiration Challenge site was Layla Grayce.  I chose a candle as my inspiration for this card.  The sentiment says "Be Mine".  I'm going to give it to my DH for Valentine's day.  This is a sneak peak of the brand new set called "Love Love Love" by Mark's Finest Papers, a Heinrich Co.  I used my scalloped circle nestie to cut out the center of the card so that the rose is on the inside.  I tied some pink lace from my stash on the side and added some pearls as embellishments.  The white CS is cut at 5 1/4" x 8", scored at 4".  It's put on a piece of Pretty in Pink CS cut at 4 1/4" x 5 1/2". 

Please make sure you stop by starting on Tuesday for our blog hop.  You may even win one of the newly released stamps!

Happy Stamping!

Speedy Fox and Friends Challenge

Today's challenge for Speedy Fox and Friends is to make a movement card.  I made a little wobble for my snowman out of florist wire.  You can't tell he moves (I couldn't get a good photo of it, sorry) but in real life he looks like he's shivering.  (I have attached a video I made showing how to make the "wobble coil" out of florist wire.  Please see video below)  That's why it says Brrr underneath him.  LOL  This cute little snowman is from the stamp set "Holly Jolly Greetings" by Mark's Finest Papers, a Heinrich Co.  The sentiment is from the stamp set "Snow Gifts". 

Stamps:  Holly Jolly Greetings, Snow Gifts (sentiment)
Paper:  Snow Storm Smooth, imaginisce "Cottage Christmas" paper pad
Ink:  Palette Noir Black, Night of Navy
Misc:  wire for wobble, buttons, Spectrum Noir pens

Please join us this week's for the challenge. 

Happy Stamping!
