I'm getting a head start on my Christmas cards so I mounted this sweet MFP cardinal on an embossed tag after coloring with Copic markers. The Spellbinders pinecones and branch were inked to bring out the details and I added a bow of twine.

I chose Flowers, ribbon, and three punches/dies. I love it when the paper does a lot of the work for you! I thought this vintage paper went perfectly with these fabulous MFP pansies, which are heat embossed and colored with Tombow markers and a water pen. Foam tape was added to each layer and they really pop!!

Friends of Speedy TV challenge - CAS

The Friends of Speedy TV challenge at Mark's Finest Papers - A Heinrich Company this week is to cas a card, join us here for a chance to win a stamp set: http://www.mfpspeedytv.ning.com/. I was looking through TracyMac's gallery on Splitcoast Stampers last week and found a fabulous card that she made a couple week's ago, when I found out we have a CAS challenge this week I was excited to give this one a try. I didn't realize that I should choose someone who makes easy cards!! Here's the link to her card: http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/photo/2240141?&si=tracymac.com/.
I heat embossed this sweet MFP mermaid and seahorse and colored with Stampin Up reinkers and water pen. I embossed wave-like swirls on the background panels and added sheer swirl green ribbon across. For the seahorse tag, a large green button with a shell charm tied with twine was added. At the last minute I realized I had to add my new swirl die by La-La Land dies.
Stamps: Mark's Finest Papers - Oh, Crab!
Accessories: La-La Land swirl die (Scrapyland), embossing powder, heat gun, Stampin Up reinkers, Spellbinder oval nesties, large button, sheer ribbon, embossing folder, foam tape, twine.

Friends of Speedy TV Challenge - Back to School

The Friends of Speedy TV challenge at Mark's Finest Papers - A Heinrich Company this week is 'Back to School, join us here for a chance to win a stamp set: http://www.mfpspeedytv.ning.com/.
Now, I don't normally make back to school cards, but I do make cards for the teachers throughout the year, for Teacher Appreciation Day and other special occasions, so I put this fall inspired card together.
I colored this gorgeous MFP sunflower with copics and popped it up with foam tape. All of the papers are embossed with embossing folders and I added Spellbinder dies and a Martha Stewart border punch for thrills.
