Paper Doll Envelope with Video Tutorial

 

I made this envelope to hold the paper doll and all her clothes.  I also made a video tutorial showing you step by step how to make the envelope.  The paper doll is made of 3 thicknesses of 140lb CS glued together.  After the glue dried, I stamped the paper doll, then cut her out with my red rubber scissors.   I then colored her with my Spectrum Noir pens.

Here's the video


Stamps:  Paper Doll
Paper:  Snow Storm Smooth 180lb
Ink:  Momento Tuxedo Black
Misc:  Spectrum Noir pens

Thanks for stopping by today.  I hope you liked the project!

Happy Stamping!

A Whimsical Bird Birthday

 

I need a lot of birthday cards for February for my clients, so I needed a CAS card that was easy to make.  This is what I came up with.  I made 13 of them.  I used the stamp set "Simply Sketched" by Stampin' Up.  It was very easy to color, and I made the little bird a blue bird.  I thought the MS branch punch down the side was a nice addition.  I hope my clients like the card.

Stamps:  Simply Sketched
Paper:  Snow Storm Smooth, Speedy Cat Black Linen, Aged Berry by MFP
Ink:  Momento Tuxedo Black
Misc:  MS border punch, Spectrum Noir Pens

Thanks for stopping by to take a look today.  Have a wonderful day!

Happy Stamping!

Speedy Fox & Friends Blog Challenge~~Sponged Circles



This week's Speedy Fox & Friends blog challenge is to sponge some circles on your card.  I sponged the bubbles by punching a 1/4" circle in a piece of card stock, and using a sponge dauber to make the bubbles. 

Stamps:  Wealth in Friendship
Paper:  Snow Storm Smooth, Calypso Coral
Ink:  Calypso Coral
Misc:  ribbon, 1/4" circle punch

I hope you will join us for this fun challenge this week!  Thanks for stopping by!  Have a good one.

Happy Stamping!
