My Favorite Things has quite a few (and fabulous) number of releases for November.  Each day leading up to the release on Wednesday, November 4th, members of the design team will be previewing different sets.  (A different set each day.)  Today we are previewing Polar Love. 

You Warm my Heart

I first stamped my image and sentiment onto white cardstock, colored, then paper-pieced the scarves and heart.  I used my circle Nestabilities to cut and emboss the white circle (3 3/4″) then randomly inserted tiny white brads to resemble falling snow. 

For the card base, I folded my cardstock as usual (typical A2 card size), then used my Creative Memories circle cutter to cut the round part of the card shape, only cutting around the left and right sides.  The base was just kind of eyeballed and marked with a pencil, then cut with my paper cutter.  The white circle was then matted onto a 4″ red circle and that piece was adhered to the card front using dimensional boosters.

Also previewing this set today are Barbara, Frances, Jessie, Joanne, Cindy, Natalie, Susan, Cindy and Amy.  Check them out!  🙂

Thanks so much for stopping by!  Have a great day!  If you celebrate Halloween, have a safe one!

Hi everyone! 

It’s Week 4 of My Favorite Things’ So You Think You Can Stamp contest.  This week’s theme is “Hip Hop.  Make it pop!”

Straight from the Carton Kind of Day

I was a little stumped this week.  After giving the challenge some thought, my idea was to create a monochromatic/somewhat colorless background with parts of the image “popping” with color.  In addition to the color pop, I decided to “pop up” the girl’s pant leg and arm with small pieces of dimensional boosters.

If you’d like to play along, you can check out all the contest rules and details HERE. 

All entries for this week’s theme must be uploaded to SCS by Monday, November 2nd.  Be sure to check out the details.  There are a few specifics you’ll need to know.  Let’s see your hip hop projects!

Hi everyone.  Just a super-quick post today.  I’ve been really busy and have quite the list of things to do yet again today.

Friendship has its Perks

Here I’ve used one of My Favorite Things latest releases, In the Background.   No patterned paper here. (Shocking for me.  Patterned paper has spoiled me.)

I stamped the tea pot onto a cream Perfect Panel, then onto an Eclipse Masking sheet.  I used the negative from the masking sheet to mask off the space around the tea pot.  I was then able to randomly stamp the flower.

<–A simple finish to the inside.

Thanks for stopping by!  Have a great Saturday!

Hi everyone!  🙂

It’s Week 3 of My Favorite Things’ So You Think You Can Stamp contest.  This week’s theme is the waltz.    It’s elegant and flowing, romantic and classic.  What’s your take?

Love is Timeless

    
My sample this week is once again pretty simple.  I used the heart from MFT’s Boho Blossoms to create the pattern on natural cardstock (which looks white here but isn’t).  The stamped panel is matted onto a block of black cardstock and then raised on dimensional boosters atop the card base.  (It’s always a challenge for me to photograph so that a “same color” top layer can be seen.)

If you’d like to play along, you can check out all the contest rules and details HERE. 

All entries for this week’s theme must be uploaded to SCS by Monday, October 26.  Be sure to check out the details.  There are a few specifics you’ll need to know.  I can’t wait to see your romantic projects! 

Thanks for stopping by! Have a great day!
