WOW can you believe it is December already? All of here at Marks Finest Papers, a Heinrich Co want to wish all of you and your families a very Merry Christmas! It is time for our December Blog hop and we have some great deals and stamp sets for you this month.
The special stamp set we have for you this month is:
" You've Got Style"
This is probably my favorite set of all of this month's releases.
I have had a lot of fun with it.
For this card, I used a funky dp that had various shades of brown.
I matted it with gold wrapping paper. (We received an early Christmas gift
at work and my husband very carefully took the gold wrapping paper off,
folded it carefully and gave it to me. I love it! My son asked me how you gift wrap a gift of gift wrap?)
Doesn't it look so pretty here? I have it behind the sentiment too.
The coffee cups were stamped onto a piece of stiff cardstock and then cut them out.
. I then stamped them over and over onto
various designer papers and paper pieced them onto the cut out cardstock.
I put paper springs behind them to make them have dimension. I tried to capture that
dimension in this photograph.
A close up of the coffee beans. I think the little white highlight really
makes coloring these beans fun. It was super easy I just drew a white line
on each bean and colored around it. Who knew coloring beans could be fun?
Here are two other cards I made last week using this same set.

This is the song that came to my mind when I first saw this set. I was listening it as I stamped this card. I was surprised to find out that my kids had never heard this song before. I know it is an oldie, but it is awesome...

There's a lot of fussy cutting on this card, however, it is well worth the work! Fantastic job!

ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful work you do! I love the dimension on the first card and the fabulous paper piecing and the dainty gold touches. Crazy about the cracked glass card, too....love em' all!
ReplyDeleteThese all look amazing! What a great way to use up patterned paper with each of those little cups. I think your beans look marvelous with the bit of white on them.
ReplyDeleteMarilynn,
ReplyDeleteWow, I love each one. The springs are such a great idea and also gives such depth to your card! The second card is so pretty with the blue (my fav color)! But, the third CAS card is really my fav - especially with the swirl stamp as steam! All pretty and wonderful!
