FOSTV CHALLENGE 31

Boy, it's been busy around MARK'S FINEST PAPERS & STAMPS a HEINRICH COMPANY the last couple of weeks. There was the regular hop for the new July releases (which were ALL totally fabulous!) and then the CHRISTMAS IN JULY hop PLUS all of the regular weekly challenges. Have you been able to keep up?


So, today brings us to a new challenge at FOSTV. DIE CUTS!! Right up my alley.  I LOVE to use dies. I would really hate to have to admit to anyone just exactly how many I own. It's a good thing that they don't take up too much room!!

Here is my card for the challenge---

The butterfly is from SPRING JOY. I masked off the egg & ended up with my focal image.
The paper is from my stash & I used SPELLBINDR DIES for the accents.

I hope that you find the time to play along this week!!

CHRISTMAS IN JULY!!

Well, it's the last day of our CHRISTMAS IN JULY blog hop over at MARK'S FINEST PAPERS & STAMPS a HEINRICH COMPANY. It's been a week full of cards, stocking stuffers, ornaments & more. I hope that we have managed to both entertain & inspire you. It's never too early to get started on all of those holiday projects. I have my supply shopping list all made out & am hittin' the road on Wednesday with my sister-in-law to get stocked up.

Anyway, the last project that we have for you is a tissue box cover. This was my first one & it was much easier than I thought it would be. It took no time at all. (I actually spent more time deciding what paper to use from my stash than I did creating it)

What I've used:

PEACE ON EARTH mini stamp set (for the trees)
Silver & embossed papers from my stash
Versamark & silver embossing powder
Spellbinders Rose Creations die set
Spellbinders Labels 22

CHRISTMAS IN JULY BLOG HOP!!!

Well, the CHRISTMAS IN JULY blog up is almost over. All of us at MFPaHC hope that you have been able to follow along so far. If you're just joining in tho, make sure that you go back & check out all of the projects!!

The project for today was my favorite!! (except for the 30 min. that it took me to drill the hole in my glass block) I've already been talked out of this one & have ordered an entire case. (I've never been good at saying no to the kids LOL)

I took my picture at an agle so that you could see how I finished off the top.

What I've used:

SCENIC SELECTIONS STAMP SET (for the fence)
PEACE ON EARTH mini stamp set (for the trees)
Glass block
50 light strand
White & blue craft paint
Archival inks
Wired ribbon & assorted greenery

Be sure to check in tomorrow for our final project!!!

CHRISTMAS IN JULY BLOG HOP!!

Welcome to another day of our CHRISTMAS IN JULY blog hop!! I hope that you have been able to follow alang every day.
Today, KelliJo has created some beautiful ornaments & a wonderful tutorial.

Now, I didn't have easy access to the type of ornamnet that KelliJo used, so I have done something a little bit different.

You will find a short tutorial for this ornament here. Thanks for stopping by & be sure to check out what's coming next or what you might have missed at MFPaHC.

What I've used:

Christmas Greetings by MFP
Memento Tuxedo Black ink
MS edger punch
