Speedy Fox & Friends Challenge~~Paper Piecing

 
 
 
I haven't used this stamp in ages, (Celebrate Big by Mark's Finest Papers, a Heinrich Co) but when I saw today's challenge was paper piecing, I knew exactly what I wanted to make.  I paper pieced the cupcake "paper" with some designer paper I had in my stash.  I then popped it up on the chef's tray. 
 
Stamps:  Celebrate Big
Paper:  Snow Storm Smooth, Pink Pirouette, Riding Hood Red, Bella Rose DSP, unknown DSP
Ink:  Palette Noir Black
Misc:  button, twine, pop dots
 
I hope you'll join us for this fun challenge this week.  You can find the details and more inspiration at Speedy Fox & Friends
 
Happy Stamping!

A Card and a Project


I have a card and a 3-D project for you today.  My card is CASEd from Bonnie, aka Bon2stamp over on SCS.  She is today's Featured Stamper.  I really had a lot of fun making this card.  And I love the way it turned out!

Stamps:  Scenic Selections
Paper:  Snow Storm Smooth, Razmataz Pink by MFP
Ink:  Rose Red
Misc:  1 3/8" circle punch, scallop circle punch, rhinestones, embossing folder

My 2nd project is my BFF's birthday present.  I think she's going to like it because she is always saying how she can't keep up with people's birthday's, so I made her this birthday card organizer.

This is the front cover.  I used some retired SU DSP called Bella Rose.  I covered chip board to make the front and back cover, and used my Artiste cartridge to decorate the front of the organizer.

Here's a picture of the inside 

Thanks for stopping by today.  I hope you liked my card and project!  Stay warm!

Happy Stamping!

Speedy Fox & Friends Challenge~~Doodle a Frame


Welcome to this week's Speedy Fox & Friends blog challenge!  This we were are to make a doodle frame around our image.  I used the stamp set "Silly Shells" by Mark's Finest Papers, a Heinrich Co.  I decided to  go with more of a CAS card since I was going to add my doodles.   I also used the stamp set "Scenic Selections" to add the sea gulls to my image.  You can't tell it, but there are sea shells on the DSP behind the image.  I sponged the DSP with Midnight Muse ink to give it a little more definition. 

Stamps:  Silly Shells, Daffodil Delight (sentiment)
Paper:  Snow Storm Smooth, Baroque Burgandy, Midnight Muse
Ink:  Midnight Muse, Palette Noir Black
Misc:  ribbon

I like this card so much, I think I may make more of them to use for my February masculine birthday cards.

Thanks for stopping by.

Happy Stamping!

This card was made for today's Featured Stamper, Angela, over on SCS.  I used a Mark's Finest Papers, a Heinrich Co stamp set called "North American Woods".  I like the layout, and may make a few more of these cards this afternoon.

Thanks for stopping by today.  I hope everyone has a wonderful Martin Luther King Day tomorrow.  I'm going downtown for the inauguration.  My DH got me tickets!!!!  I'm so excited!  Maybe I'll post some of the pictures tomorrow.

Happy Stamping!
