Woodland Fox Card

As you know, I am a member of the Susan K. Weckesser design team.

I love so many of her stamp sets.

She has a fun, whimsical quality to her designs.

This little fox is one of my very favorites...

Sometimes simple is best.

I stamped the little fox from the Going Wild stamp set on a cork tag I picked up at the Michael's bins on clearance.

And that is all.

I will write a sweet note inside and send it to my daughter soon.

Short and sweet.

Gnome and Wool Flower Card

I am so tickled to be a part of the Susan K. Weckesser design team for the remainder of the year.

I love her stamp sets. 

 Many of them are whimsical.

One of my favorites is the What's up Gnomey set.

So I wanted to share a little card I threw together with that set yesterday.

I stamped and cut out the gnome.

Inked the edges of my cardstock.

And cut a few flower shapes with my Sizzix and the Sizzix Flower Layers 3 die.

The flowers are cut from scraps of felted wool sweaters.

And then I dug into my extensive vintage button collection...

I sewed the buttons onto the centers of the flowers before I mounted the brown card stock with 3-d foam squares.

I like the texture.
