CC357 and another Sneak Peak

The Color challenge today at Splitcoaststampers is to use Blushing Bride, Riding Hood Red and Baja Breeze. I used another new MFP a HC set being introduced next week called You are Cherished. Super simple to color in. I embossed it with black EP and then used Tombow markers to color.

Here come the Sneak Peaks

 Valentines Day is on it's way and 2 of the new sets from MFPaHC for January, which will be available next week , are made just for this day. Lots of love here. So get ready to peak. First set is called Love Remains. oodles of little die cuts at work here.



The next set is called Sending happy Thoughts. I made a Joy Fold card.

Monday challenges actually finished on Monday

I did it. The Speedy TV challenge is to make a Thank you card. I combined that with the SplitcoastStampers Technique TLC359. We got to choose any technique from last year that we wanted to do. I picked TLC334 Color blocking with a twist. This was a technique I wanted to try when I first saw it but hadn't  gottten around to it. Today was the day. You stamp with your acrylic blocks. I smooshed 3 different colors onto a large square block and stamped it on my card stock. Then I stamped the flowers on top and colored in with markers. Ribbon and stamp from MFP a Heinrich Company.



Then I worked on the CAS card at Splitcoaststampers. CAS152 is a simple challenge. Just use die cuts. I looked through my scrap stash and found all of these shapes. I finished it off with some ribbon from MFP a Heinrich Company.

Speedy Fox and Friends Challenge 89- use brads or eyelets

Today is a new beginning for MFP a Heinrich Co.  We have a new Blog mascot, Speedy Fox. Isn't he cute. Today we are breaking out those brads and eyelets and putting them to use. I very seldom use them. I am more into the rhinestones and pearls. But I founds some snowflake brads in my stash to go with my winter Panorama card scene. Be sure to join us. You have a chance to win a new stamp set just by entering your card. All stamps and Paper used are from MFP.

It's time to get back to stamping

It has been so hectic at work and home the last 2 weeks I got nothing stamped. But that all changes now. I need to get back to my routine. This card is for SCS TLC358. The theme this Monday was WET. I made the background way over a year ago and really don't remember what it is but I'm guessing it's Smoosh technique with a mixture of Dye and Pigment reinkers. EP only sticks to the Pigment ink so you have a shiney background with breaks anywhere there was a  Dye ink. I also put Glossy Accents in the center of the flower. All stamps and paper are from MFP a Heinrich Company.
