Black challenge at MSL

Today starts a new challenge at Magnolia Stamp Lovers and the challenge is black.

For my creation I made a card featuring Edwin wants a hug. My DH is soon to celebrate his 50th birthday and since 50 is the BIG 50 black is appropriate.

I used the following supplies:

• Bow Easy
• Little red buttons 
• Black Ribbon
• Martha Stewart edge punch
• Spellbinders Labels 18
• Scor-pal
• Spellbinders Grand Calibur
• Copics
• Magnolia Doohickey die
• Magnolia Sweet Christmas Present
• SSD Fleur De Lis stamps
• Generic Happy Birthday stamp
• ASI-Kool Tak adhesive squares

Here is a close up of Edwin

A picture of the front with the adhesive squares. By the way, these things are awesome! They are the perfect size for Nestabilities and the smallest parts of the Magnolia images.

And finally a pic of the inside.

Thanks for stopping by and visiting. Hope to see you over at Magnolia Stamp Lovers.

Happy Halloween at SSCC

Today I would like to show you the card I made for the Halloween challenge at Stamping Scrapping Challenge Central.

Here it is. This is Sitting Witch Tilda and she is from the Magnolia So Spooky ‘09 Collection.

I colored her with Copics but didn’t write the numbers down. The papers are from the Best Creation Happy Haunting collection. Buttons are from my stash and the ribbon is from Really Reasonable Ribbon. I used my Bow easy to make the bow. I matted Tilda on Spellbinders Labels 15.

Thanks for stopping by and taking a peek. Be sure to hop on over to SSCC and check out all of the other creations!

Bows Everywhere

I decided to make some bows on Saturday using my Brilliant Bow Makers. I got quite a few done. I sold some at work so thought I would make up a bunch to have on hand. Gotta be able to pay for my craft and keep replenishing!!

If you are interested in purchasing just send me an email to hester.stephanie@gmail.com. The price is $7.50 (includes shipping). All pieces are hand sewn using upholstery thread. The center piece may or may not have hot glue. If it was a button I sewed it on otherwise secured with hot glue. All of these have clips on the backside.

Here they are:
