FOSTV Happy Holiday Challenge #51...

Hey, I am here to inspire you ...

I hope I do my job...heehee

so this week the challenge is to do a Holiday Card...

I choose to make my card more of a general winter card...but it works, right...

I dry embossed the card front but added Versamark to the folder...

then I heat embossed the white snowflakes...I cut a snowflake using

my Cameo and added it...I also took the sewing machine to the 

edges of the sentiment strip, if you call it that...

Stamp set used by MFPaHc is a mini stamp set I earned doing a card swap...

I love how this card turned out...this was a favorite, now that I look back on it...

I need to make more of these...heehee...now to remember to do that...

got up way way way too early...

I think in the middle of the night...

anyway I had these cards that I wanted to post for today...

and I wanted to enter a challenge so

Here is card # 3

Happy Birthday USA

the happy birthday is a stamped/embossed image, it's a MFPaHC stamp...yeah again...

from the same set...its such a great set to start with...

some ric rac on some ribbon which is on ribbon...

a flower cut with my cameo and some bling from the stash

I got these great letter brads from a friend, what a nice friend, huh...

and they were all white but I wanted different colors so I heat embossed the 's' and it worked great

I got the blue color I wanted...just stamped the brad with Versa Mark ink

then dipped it into the embossing powder and used the heat gun to set the embossing powder...

easy as that...a friend told me I could do that...but I had not done it yet...

I can see me doing that again...

Well that's about it for this card...

Happy Craft'n
