Luv U

Hi all!  Hope you had a great Christmas!!

I’m here with a reminder post that you still have a week to enter the current All That Scraps Challenge.  The theme is Anything Goes!  I have a really CAS card for you today:

I used PJ Emma who was colored entirely with Copics.  She’s popped up onto a piece of my fave washi tape.  I cut the sentiment with old Quickutz dies out of a piece of white cardstock with another fave washi tape stuck on it.  I then machine sewed the letters in place.  I hope you like it!

And we hope you’ll play along!  Don’t forget that you need to use a stamp that’s sold in the ATS Store.  TFL!

This is a reminder that you still have a week to play along with the current All That Scraps challenge – CAS (Clean and Simple).  Here’s my card for this week:

  

I used the new Love Nuggets sentiment set along with the matching Conversation Hearts dies.  A little machine stitching and you’re done!

We hope you’ll play along with us!  Don’t forget to use a stamp that’s sold in the ATS store!  TFL!

***And now, onto the show!***

First up, I have a couple of holiday wine bottle tags that I made using the new Whatnots dies:

Here’s a closer shot of the gingerbread man tag:

I “frosted” him with pearl fabric paint and sewed on the circle border.  Here’s the snowflake tag:

It’s a little hard to see from the picture, but I die cut the snowflakes out of glitter paper and hand-sewed them to the tag.

For my second project, I have a CAS card using Smiley Happy Critter Crew Set One.  Here’s the outside:

And here’s the inside:

I stamped both images colored them with Copics and covered the crowns with glitter glue.  For the second image, I just added the same crown from the frog to tie them together.  Hope you like my projects!

Joy

Hi all!  I have another Your Next Stamp Fun Friday post for you!  This month our theme is Reflection on the last 3 years of YNS.  We get to pick our fave images and make projects for you!

I’m *very* partial to Furry Dress Up Fhiona and Cute with Wings Dress Up Fhiona because I helped conceive of and design them!  And there are matching dies to make playing with them super fun!  Today I played with Furry Dress Up to make Fhiona into Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer!

I used the animal body, face with closed eyes and pointed ears to make this fun Fhiona.  You can see I also used an extra ear (just the inner portion) to make her tail and I added antlers by using the Tree Trio die set.  The final touches are a 1/8” red punch for her nose and a bit of Trendy Christmas twine.

I added a glittery snow line and a sentiment using the Alphadot set from Paper Smooches with little dots of red glitter between the letters.  I hope you like it!  Don’t forget to check out the YNS Blog for all the other FF projects!

This card is also for Papertake Weekly & Loves Rubberstamps– both Anything Goes, Ribbon Carousel – The Holidays, and CASology – Sparkle (I wish the glitter photographed better!).  TFL!

Kiki La Rue Heart

Hi all!  It’s the start of a new challenge over at All That Scraps and our theme is CAS – make a Clean & Simple card.  Here’s what I came up with:

I used the new Kiki La Rue Heart (it’s being released on the 6th) and a couple different washi tapes.   She was watercolored with Distress reinkers, cut out and mounted with foam boosters.

We hope you’ll play along with us!  Just remember to use a stamp that’s sold in the ATS Store!  TFL!
