Funny Reindeer

It's time at SP&CO for a new challenge.  The challenge is "easy to make Christmas cards and gifts".  I used this cute and whimsical "funny reindeer" from the Tina Wenke collection.

I used a technique that one of my Teamies, Jennifer Hay used last week.  She made her own buttons to use, but I went easy and simple by just adding some buttons to the ornaments hanging from the antlers.  The below picture shows the image before I added buttons. 

This is such an easy card to make.  Cut card base to 5 x 7.  Stamp image and color, then cut out image in a square shape.  Cut mat to go behind image.  Attach the matted image to the card base.  Attach buttons to the ornaments on the reindeer.  I then stamped a sentiment on the bottom of the card base and I added a few other buttons to dress it up a bit. Easy Peasy right???

Funny Reindeer by Tina Wenke

Forest Friends Celebrating

It's time for a new challenge at SP&CO blog. The challenge is "New Technique". We want to see a technique on your creations.  For this challenge I chose to do "3D Paper Piecing".  It was fun to do.
I got the directions from Splitcoast Stampers tutorials.  Check it out and give it a try.

For my card today I used "Forest Friends Celebrating" and sentiment from "Holiday Insides".  This is another cute image from Gill Roberts collection.  I can just imagine what fun the forest friends will have at their celebration.The technique I used is 3D paper piecing.

I stamped my image about 4 times.  I colored different sections of each and then fussy cut the parts out, I left one fully colored and untouched to be used as the base.  I used some pop dots to attach each piece to the main image. Give this technique a try and you will really see your image POP.......
