Marks Finest Papers August Blog Hop- Day 4

By

Welcome to the Marks Finest Papers, a Heinrich Company

August Blog Hop! 

This month's New Stamp Set Releases are

Dear Santa I have been a good little crafter!  Welcome back to our last day of our hop.
I had an absolute blast with these stamp set!!!  So lets get started!

First I did a Brrrr card with this darling snowman! Where do you these he is? I made this for a special friend in mind (hint, she doesn't get snow!)
My Card Tip: want clothes with a design... paper piecing. Pick a small pattern paper design and stamp you image on it, then just cut out what you want and post it on top of a second stamped image on white cardstock. Such an easy and fun technique.

Next, Santa and I had a lot of fun together. First I made this easy ornament. I just used a rosette that I cut from my Cuttlebug and using cute Santa circle stamp, I made this easy to do ornament.  I think this would be a great craft for the kiddos to do for Christmas.

I decided to try a different card technique.

A Slider Card.
Fun to do but I need to practice a little more, lol.

Yesterday I mention the Pearl Pen for small/large beads/dots. I also used it for Santa's beard. I just moved the tip of the pen in little random swirls.
Of course I have my tried and true stand by, Stickles, for Santa's cap.

I am sad, I really enjoy these hops but I hope to see you next month. Plus don't forget the fabulous challenges, tutorials and all around fun at MFPS blog and ning site!

    Sandy, I want one of those pearl pens - how great is that and Santa's beard looks wonderful. I love slider cards but haven't made one in forever - I need to make one soon. All your cards are fun with their fun techniques and the super new images. Hugz!

    Thanks for sharing a close up of Santa. I love how the beard looks. The sparkles on his hat looks amazing. I like the idea of a slider card. I can just see the smile on the face of a child as he pulls out the slider. You did a fabulous job showcasing this month's sets. I am looking forward to seeing what you do next month.

Building Block Graduation Card

By
Hello, everyone! Melissa here on to share a "building block" style card with you. I made this one graduation themed, since there are a ton of graduations going on right now. Hope you enjoy this card, and are inspired to try it out yourself. Here is the tutorial I followed from Split Coast Stampers. To make it easier, I will give you all the measurements, here. It looks harder than it is, I promise. Start with a piece of cardstock in your desired color that is 5.5 x 10.5. Put the 10.5 inch side along the top of your score board or paper trimmer, and score at 3.5 inches and 7 inches. Fold the first score line in a mountain fold, and the second in a valley fold. You should end up with a "z" fold card. The next part can get a bit tricky, so make sure you watch the video to fully understand what I am about to explain. On the back side of the "valley" fold, take a ruler and pencil and mark these measurements: 3/8 1 3/8 1 5/8 2 5/8 2 7/8 3 7/8 ...
