Still Time to Play with Curtain Call {soft scarf challenge}

There is still time to join us for the Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge!  

You have until January 25th at 8:00 AM CST to be inspired and share your project!

Current challenge details and link-up are here. 

The LEAD of this challenge will be invited to be a guest designer in an upcoming challenge!

 A randomly selected PARTICIPANT in the Soft Scarf challenge will win six new clear stamp sets from our sponsor, Hero Arts.

Here is another card I made, inspired by the colors

and the texture of that scarf. I used an SU embossing folder

to achieve that look. 

Stamp set is from the Cut & Stamp line called The Fox Says.

Come see what the rest of the Curtain Call Crew has done with

a second round of inspiration cards.

Deconstruced Sketch 133 {my friend Freida}

I still can't help but smile everytime I see this sweet stamp. Meet Freida Fox. She's the first image in the new Quirky Cuties line of stamps by Reverse Confetti. She's brand spankin' new. 

Heather messaged me on my way home from work and wanted to work a challenge together. It's fun (and motivational) to have a friend to stamp with. We decided on the Deconstructed Sketch. You know me.....it's always a go-to sketch for me. 

I colored up Freida, making her a grey fox this go round and pieced up her dress. I also decided to leave off her glasses. I used the pretty Bundled Up papers for my color scheme. 

In place of the bow, I opted for two pretty buttons. I have a weakness for those embellishments. 

I also decided to use some of the new Confetti Cut dies. I added Freida to a scalloped frame from the Love Notes set and stamped the sentiments (I chopped it up, to make it fit the larger heart) onto the hearts from the same die set. Some Stickles glitter and a trio of enambel dots help add a bit more fun to this card. 

Check out what Heather did. It's A-dorable! 

here is the current Sketch I used. Link it up HERE.

Have a fantastic weekend (as the Incredible Mr. Fox, might say).

Hello Fox {featured stamper}

Each week over on Splitcoast, there is a Featured Stamper Challenge. It's such a cool way to honor some great galleries and paper crafters. This week, my friend Linda was picked! If you haven't seen her work.....you MUST. It's so creative and her blog is always cheerful and so inspiring. 
I picked THIS card to CASE from her SCS Gallery (StickUps). I was inspired by the colors, the notebook edge piece and the texture she added with burlap. 


Here's what I created.

 I used the sweet Into the Woods stamp set by Lawn Fawn. I paired it with the cute Fancy Pants papers, Collecting Moments. I loooove this navy giant polka dot. I stitched it onto some Fuse Green cs and distressed the edges a bit. 
I wrapped around some burlap ribbon and then added an Insert It-Notepad Die-namics layer on top in that great green stripe. 
I colored fox with my copics and cut him out. I popped him up, over the hand stamped stump and bushes for a bit more dimension. I stamped the sentiment in Midnight Muse ink and popped that up with some dimensionals as well. 

I wrapped some of my favorite hemp twine around the top of the notebook panel and then added some fun enamel dots. 
Thanks Linda for the inspiration and congrats on your Featured Stamper status! So fun!
