I WasThinking About You

Hello Friends I have a quick post today to share two cards I made with the New October Release Stamp Sets from Marks Finest Papers.



This top one is from the set called Cardinals In Winter, I love making this size cards for really easy mailing and they don't need to many embellishments. The sentiment is also included in this set.



The next one is from the set Christmas in the Country, I love this scene. It reminds me of my trip to Big Bear Mountains with out the Moose lol!! MFP also has great Card stock at really great prices in all kinds of colors (IT IS HEAVY). Thanks for peeking in!!

I used this beautiful Wreath from this stamp set, My sentiment is included in this set too. My image was colored with Copics, I used the premium paper card stock for this card, I love this paper. It's 100lb, it's heavy!! I hope you enjoyed my card!!

Autumn Glory

Hello happy Sunday everyone, I have a couple cards to share today using the stamps from Marks Finest papers. These two stamps are in the set Autumn Glory which was released this month.

This first card was colored with Colored pencils on Craft Card Stock I get mines at MFP too, I really enjoyed this type of coloring especially because my Pencils were a bit neglected.



This second card was also colored with Pencils on Kraft Card Stock, I aimed for a simple card yet I loved the look with the different tones of card stock and some eyelets on the corners, these have been neglected too.



Thanks for your visit and I hope you have a fun crafty week!!
