I hope you like this stamp set. I love it! My daughter loves flamingos. I can see her Christmas presents wrapped in paper that I've stamped with these fun flamingos!

This take out box was cut out of designer papers at the local scrapbook store. I purchased a membership to use the die cut machines there and went to town! While I was at the store, they had a class on "sponging" die cuts. I decided to try it out on this box.

This scene was created using the polka dotted palm tree from the Flamingos on Vacation set. I colored the stamp's leaves with a marker and then stamped. I didn't like the result at first but now I do!

Today I've made a 6" x 6" cork board/message board using Scenic Selections. I stamped in the tree first. It's bare. I stamped the smallest leaf from the set to fill it in! I couldn't believe how well the leaf worked on this. The fence was stamped next. I lined it up and moved it across the page. Next was the rocks. I finished with the tufts of grass and birds. I sponged in the sun, grass and sky. The sentiment is from North American Woods.

This is a side view. I wrote a tutorial on this project for SpeedyTV. You can find it HERE.

I made this mini cork Post-It Holder for today's challenge on SCS. I added a magnet to the back. I is now on my fridge!

Good Luck on the Hop!

I especially like today's stamp set. It is a silhouette set that features people fishing. It makes great masculine cards. I always need masculine cards for the men and boys in my life. Don't you?

This stamp card was made by stamping the focal image in black. I sponged in the other colors and reverse masked in the sun. The other images are from a set released this month called Scenic Selections. I love how the fence is so easy to stamp! Those birds are the perfect size for this card, too!

This is an altered cheese box. I did a tutorial on SpeedyTV. You can see it HERE. I CASED a lady named Carole. I hope she doesn't mind.

I put a Gift Card inside the box.

Good Luck on the blog hop!

Mark's Finest Papers

This is the first day of this month's Mark's Finest Papers a Heinrich company blog hop. Today I want to share this very easy altered tin. You can use any tin or box you like.

I do not own a die cut machine. So when you see things used on my cards are altered items it means I had to borrow a machine or Frankenstein my creation! This one was Frankensteined! Hee!

I used the circles from a card that was sent to me to cover the top of the prima tin. I stamped the image and colored with pencils. It was cut out and popped with dots.

This card was easy and fast. I cut the hole in the paper for the see thru window. Then, I used a pencil to mark the oval. I stamped in the sentiment and erased the oval.

The background was stamped with the larger image in VersaMark to get the designer paper look.

Good Luck on the hop!
