Wow! Another fun card to make. Loving these chili peppers and had a great time stamping three of the single pepper and  paper piecing them. I wanted to make my card very colorful so I bought some wonderful stickers and placed at the top and bottom, added a ribbon, and some orange gemstones. I really like this set and how the card turned out.

I had so much fun with this card . I really love this Garden Art set. The toadstools are paper pieced and the gnome is colored, cut out, and popped on. Hope you like it as much as I do.

CCEE Stampers-Border Punches

I love this sentiment and it is a set from my sister, TPC Studio Card Crafting Happy Birthday. She also gave me the Martha Stewart Crafts stamp around the page set called Flourishes and Leaves. What a sis!!!  I didn't stamp around the page but it makes a beautiful card when you  do and I'll have to try it soon.

The CCEE Stampers challenge this week is to use two border punches on your card. I used a Morocco Lace border punch from EK Success to make the bottom border. I'm using a tutorial from
Becca Feeken at Amazing Paper Grace. The other is a border punch and corner punch that makes a
punch around the page. It is a Martha Stewart eyelet lace.

Hope you'll join the challenge this week. Check out the team's cards for some inspiration, make your own and upload with the inlinkz tool. We would love to see them.

Paper-PTI white cs, Core-dinations Serene cs, unknown dp

FOSTV-Sketch Challenge

This week's challenge at Friends of Speedy TV, challenge #29, is a sketch challenge.

As you can see, I decided to make a Christmas card and not in traditional colors. I am using a stamp set from Mark's Finest Papers and Stamps, A Heinrich Co., Peaceful Nuthatch. I really like this sketch. I'm using strips of cardstock and not ribbon. I made the circles punches, using an oval for one, circle for one, and a star for the other.

We would love for you to join us this week. The stamp set to be given away for this challenge to some lucky winner is What A Fox.

Recipe for my card:
Stamps- MFP Peaceful Nuthatch
Paper-Designer paper is Fancy Pants Designs/Christmas Magic
Accessories-EK Success Paper Shaper/Star, Copics, Stampin'Up! oval scallop punch, Fiskars Cameo Appearance ex large squeeze punch
