Speedy Fox and Friends Blog Challenge~~embossing

Pat challenged us to emboss our main image for this weeks Speedy Fox and Friends Blog Challenge.  I decided to do heat embossing and make a winter card.  I stamped the image with the trees from the stamp set "Ice and Snow" by Mark's Finest Papers.  I then added white flower soft along the bottom of the trees to simulate snow, and added Frosted Lace Stickles to the tree limbs for ice.  The stickles don't show up very well in the photo, but look very pretty IRL.  I hope you will play along with us this week for the challenge.  You may even win one of MFPs stamp sets!

Stamps:  Ice and Snow
Paper:  Snow Storm Smooth, Speedy Cat Black Linen
Ink:  VersaMark
Misc:  MS snow flake border punch, stickles, flower soft, black embossing powder.

Have a wonderul weekend!

Happy Stamping!

Flamingo Hot

Today's Free 4 All challenge over on SCS was to use hot pink.  Well, I had the perfect stamp set from Mark's Finest Papers, a Heinrich Co called "Flamingos on Vacation".  I had to stamp the background paper with the sentiment from the set that says "hot"!  LOL  I put some pink bling on the flamingo to make it look even hotter.  And of course I just had to make another tent topper card because it's still my favorite technique!

Stamps:  Flamingos on Vacation
Paper:  Snow Storm Smooth, Dark Chocolate Bar, Melon Mambo
Ink:  Melon Mambo
Misc:  bling, Stampin Write Marker Melon Mambo

I hope everyone has a wonderful Memorial Day Weekend!

Ink:  Always Artichoke

These little Scenic Selections stamps are just so dang cute!!!!  I just had to make some gift enclosure cards with them.  I chose to make 4 different colored cards and matched the ink to the cardstock.  The blue one is suppose to be a "blue spruce".  You can use this set with so many other sets to add elements here and there.  This is a must have set in my opinion!  Here are the details:

Stamps:  Scenic Selections
Paper:  Snow Storm Smooth, Blue Bayou, Melon Mambo, Peach Parfait, Cherry Cobbler
Ink:  Blue Bayou, Melon Mambo, Peach Parfait, Cherry Cobbler
Misc:  2 3/8" scallop punch
