Today, is the start of the September Inspiration Week from Lawn Fawn.  The designers are showcasing the Sweet Christmas stamp set today.  The card I made below, took a little bit of time to make, because of all of the different techniques I used (stamping, paper piecing, coloring, using stickles)...but mostly because of the stickles...those things take forever to dry!!  But I seriously cannot help myself, the glitter looks so good in person. Head on over to the Lawn Fawn Blog , for a chance to win this stamp set, as well as see some great samples!

Today the entire Avocado Arts Design Team is sneaking the October stamp set.  For my card, I stamped the bouquet of wheat onto kraft card stock, and then stamped the sentiment in black over them.  To embellish the card, I added black pearls on either side of the sentiment, then added lace and silk ribbon at the bottom of the card.  Visit the Avocado Arts blog , and the rest of designers for more sneaks!

This week Clear Snap is sponsoring the sketch over at Card Positioning Systems .  I used the Smooch Pearlized ink to color in the house (lettuce, mocha, plum berry, sweet melon & banana custard) , and tree.  I have to admit, I was a little scared at first to use these inks.  They come in super cute bottles that look like nail polish, then once opened, the coloring brush is kind of like a fine point brush.  Once I figured them out (which wasn't hard) , I had a lot of fun coloring in the house.  The stamps are from a new stamp set from Lawn Fawn called, Happy Haunting .   Materials Used: Lawn Fawn Happy Haunting Clear Snap Smooch Pearlized ink foam tape MME pattern paper Clear Snap Licorice Color Box ink Black satin ribbon Bazzill card stock
