MFT Color Challenge 82

This week I decided to enter the My Favorite Things Color Challenge.

The color scheme wasn't Christmas but I decided to go that

way anyway.  I'm addicted to cross stitching lately and found this 

cute image on Pinterest.  

I outlined the image in grey so it wouldn't be as harsh

as black.  The sentiment is stamped in grey as well.

Inside I used a color similar to Cornflower blue in ink and paper.

You still have 5 days to participate and possibly win a $50 

Gift Voucher from My Favorite Things!

Finished size is an A-2.

• MFT: Hand Lettered Holiday, CROSS STITCH Tag die
• Ink: Versafine - Smokey Grey, Majestic Blue; Distress Ink - Tumbled Glass
• Dies: Lawn Fawn - Cross Stitched Rectangles

Serendipity Stamps - November Blog Hop #2

Welcome to this month's 2nd HOP for Serendipity Stamps!

Today I used the darling new stamps, Happy Holidays Set. 

I love the edgy, rustic design of these stamps.  

Pairing them up with some linen ribbon seemed

to be the right design.  They are colored with Copics 

and covered with a glossy glaze pen.  

I cut my sentiment stamp apart so it would be easier

to stamp this way instead of one long line.

Finished size is 4 3/4 " square.

Here is a little tag I made to go with the card.

Stamp of the month for 50% off is SLED:

Serendipity Stamps - November Blog Hop #1

Welcome to Serendipity's November Blog Hop!

I used the CUTE new Embroidered Bird stamps 

on my mini box and cards.

The box is 3 1/4 x 3 1/4 and the cards are 2 3/4 square.  

I used my Envelope Punch Board to make the box.  

My paper measured 6 x 6 and my first score mark and punch

is at 2 1/2 and my second score mark is at 3 1/4. 

Rotate paper counterclockwise

and score and punch twice on each side to make the box.
