Enjoy The Fuss ~ FMS168

Brrrr!  It's freeeeezing up here in NE Montana!  We had -25 to -30 degree windchills today.  Boy, can the wind really blow here!  What's the best thing to do on a cold day, you ask?  Why spend the day stamping of course!!!

I came up with this one for Freshly Made Sketches 168. 

I originally made this card.....

but once I was done with it, I hated it.  So back to the drawing board.  

I kept the same color scheme and was much happier with the outcome the second time around.

It showcases a couple more products from the Occasions Catalog.  The diecuts are from {The Treat Bag Thinlits Dies} and the button is from {Sweet Dreams designer buttons}. 

For the stars, I cut twice....once on the designer paper and another on Hello Honey.  I popped the Hello Honey stars up over the DSP.  

Here's a list of my supplies...

Stamps: Big News, Good Greetings

Ink: Lost Lagoon

Paper: Lost Lagoon, Hello Honey, White, Moonlight DSP

Accessories: Treat Bag Thinlits die, Sweet Dreams designer button, dimensionals

Thanks for taking a peek!

EXCITING NEWS! CMCC#53

I would like to announce that I am officially part of the Colour Me design team!  I am super excited to be part of this wonderful group and to gain much inspiration from my fellow designers!   

We're kicking the year off with the monochromatic color scheme of Perfect Plum.  

I chose to go with a baby theme and add black in as my neutral.  

This card also highlights a few new products from the new Occasions Catalog and Sale-a-bration.  

The heart border and bow on the giraffe's neck are from the Mini Treat Bag Thinlits die set. This die set has lots and lots of cute extras to go along with the treat bag itself.  The Stacked With Love designer washi tape is so cute and comes in these two patterns plus one more with gold hearts....very versatile! The other new item from the Occasions Catalog is the little heart button.  It's part of the Sweet Dreams Designer Buttons.  

The polka dot paper is from the Sale-a-bration catalog and it's called Irresistibly Yours.  It comes plain white with a resist pattern and you add the color with a sponge, mister or brayer.  I brayered on the the ink for this card.  It comes in several different patterns and will be super fun to work with!  I know this will be a popular product! 

I used my blender pen and Perfect Plum ink pad to create the variegated color in the "Big News" lettering on the main panel of my card.  I like the way it turned out.  It gives it just a little bit more interest.  

Here's a list of my supplies.....

Stamps: Big News, Zoo Babies

Ink: Perfect Plum, Versamark

Paper: Black, White, Irresistibly Yours DSP

Accessories: Mini treat bag thinlits, Dotted Scallop Ribbon boarder punch, Sweet Dream designer button, brayer, black EP, pearl, Stacked With Love washi
