Nature's Gift

Sorry I've been a little absent for the last few days. Sadly, I can't say I was getting a lot of stamping done, but I accomplished some other things that I can cross off my list! I love it when I can cross things off my to-do list!

The main image for this card is from the JustRite Autumn Blessings stamp set. I stamped the autumn corn image on watercolor paper using Onyx Black Versafine (my favorite ink), then embossed with JudiKins Detail Clear embossing powder. The stamped image was colored with Tombow Markers and a damp paint brush.

The layer behind the main image is Spellbinders Labels Nine Nestabilities . I used Blush Red Prismatics Dark and bordered it in Intense Yellow Prismatics .

The designer paper is from my stash. The ribbon is 1.5" Dark Red Two Tone by May Arts. I lovingly call this a *Becca* bow. :-)

On the inside of the card I used Inkadinkado's Nature's Gift rubber stamp.

I hope you are all having a nice and relaxing Sunday. I will be back soon with something new. Until then...

Mr. Brown FINALLY ARRIVED TONIGHT!

And it's all in the store at Stamper's Dream .

Christmas Mouse

Stamping time has been kind of hard to come by lately. This is a quick and easy card for the holidays...but I actually like it!

The main image is Penny Black's Christmas Mouse rubber stamp. I stamped it on watercolor paper using Onyx Black Versafine ink, then embossed with JudiKins Detail Clear embossing powder. The stamped image was colored using Tombow Markers and a damp paint brush.

I put a thin layer of White Liquid Applique on the top of the stocking. While it was still wet I added some Art Institute Glitter Crystal Ultrafine Glitter .

The little mouse head was stamped again, colored and popped up with foam tape.



The designer paper is from the My Mind's Eye Colorful Christmas paper kit. I used my Martha Stewart Arch Lattice Edge punch to make the two strips on each side of the striped panel. The cardstock used is Vibrant Pink Prismatics .

The ribbon is May Arts White Sheer . The button is from my stash...and was threaded with May Arts Pink Burlap String .

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Hand-Mailed by A Hedgie...and a winner!

I hope you've all had a good weekend! Is it almost over...already? :-(

I didn't have a lot of stamping time this weekend, but I DID find the time to stamp this cute Penny Black image called Hand-Mailed . It was stamped with Onyx Black Versafine ink, then embossed with JudiKins Detail Clear embossing powder. The stamped image was colored using Tombow Markers and a damp paint brush. It was then cut and embossed using a Spellbinders Curved Rectangle Nestabilities die.



All the designer paper is from the My Mind's Eye Merry Days of Christmas paper kit. The bottom of the diagonal stripe paper was cut using a Spellbinders Fancy Scalloped Pierceability . The Blush Red Prismatics panel in the center was embossed using a Herringbone Cuttlebug embossing folder. The green cardstock is Spring Willow Prismatics medium. The green button in the top left corner is from my stash. I tied the bow with May Arts Red Burlap String .

So...I'm sure you came here to see a card, didn't you? Or was it to find out who won the blog candy? LOL!

Drumroll please....

I think this little Christmas Tree Mouse is the cutest thing ever! I stamped it on white cardstock using Onyx Black Versafine ink, heat set it, then colored using Prismacolored pencils and mineral spirits.

The stamped image was cut and embossed with Spellbinders Small Labels Nestabilities then layered using Large Labels cut from Blush Red Prismatics dark.

The holly on the bottom of the panel is from the stamp set.


The sentiment is also included in the Christmas Tree Mouse clear stamp set. I added a couple of red Mini Rhinestones to the holly, then put a bead of Frosted Lace Stickles around the edge.

The frame behind the sentiment is Spellbinders Fancy Tags . The designer paper is from the My Mind's Eye Merry Days of Christmas paper kit.

The moment I saw this adorable little stamp I KNEW I had to have it! I have so many friends who are firemen, or are married to firemen, and this will be a great and very personalized Christmas card for them!

The stamp is called Admiration . I stamped it on watercolor paper using Versafine Onyx Black ink, then embossed with Detail Clear embossing powder. The stamped image was colored using Tombow Markers and a damp paint brush. The snowflake is the Martha Stewart Glacial Snowflake punch glittered with Ultrafine Transparent Glitter . Sorry it's so hard to see in my photos. It's so pretty! :-(

The designer paper is from the Li'l Man Paper Kit by Cosmo Cricket. See...it DOES look Christmasey, doesn't it? :-) How DOES one spell Christmasey, anyway? Is that really a word?

The sentiment is Impression Obsession's Merry Christmas . It was stamped on Classic Red Prismatics then cut and embossed with the **NEW** Spellbinders Ribbon Tags Trio 2 . The ribbon is May Arts Red Silk .
