This week we are showcasing Wild Rose StudioProducts this week. You don’t have to use them for the challenge but if you have them we would love to see them used.

So I thought I’d pair this ADORABLY cute bear image from My Favourite Things with the sweet little sentiment from Wild Rose Studio – this is a great little set with a few extra flower images which I also used.  I created a cream card base for a change and stamped the Gingham Background from Simon Says Stamp in Kraft pigment ink from Avery Elle.  I stamped the bear in Barely Beige Dye ink and gave the “no-line colouring” technique another go (I seriously need so tips on that – #fail)!  To distract from the shoddy colouring I added some sparkle to the icing on the cake using a Spica pen and then a dollop of glossy accents on top for good measure!!  All products used are listed below!

New My Favourite Things – Wine anyone?

Hey!  I’m happy to be sharing a card and bottle tag today dedicated to one of my favourite hobbies – wine!  The brand new release from MFT Stamps features a really fun stamp set called Uncorked with some really cool sentiments along with a bunch of coordinating die sets – the Wine Tag, Wine Service and Cheers Die-Namics.

I actually had the EXTREME pleasure of crafting along with my buddy Karolyn Loncon in her amazing craft haven when I attended CHA in Phoenix a few weeks ago.  It was like a little treasure trove of goodies – don’t you love investigating other people’s craft spaces??!!  Of course the main thing I came away with was a huge desire to spend money, lol!  Well, I rummaged through her vast collection of MFT goodness and created this card and tag using both new release stuff (thank you so much MFT) and some previously released gems like the Peek-a-Boo Polka Dots cover plate and the Stitched Strip Die-namics.  As a fun little touch I made a tiny wine glass charm out of a wee jewellry ring (what are they called??) and one of the little gold die cut stars from the Stitched Strip die-namics.

Isn’t Jen Shurkus just a star when it comes to putting together these inspiration boards – this is another cracker!  I thought I’d go for the frosty look from the photos and used one of MFT’s amazing sentiment sets embossed in silver sparkle with some fab Simon Says Stamp snowflakes coated in Rock Candy distress glitter.  Brr, definitely makes me feel chilly!!
