a simple birthday card i made for the jane's doodles blog this week. boris the bunny is a digital stamp which i scaled down to about 2-inches wide, printed, colored, and cut. the rest of the card is my usual scallop border, machine stitching and a stamped sentiment. i've been keeping my cards fairly simple and easy to mail as i'll be sending off most of my design team cards to operation write home as soon as i have a full box.

a glimpse of my card that is up on the jane's doodles blog today. the cupcake image is a digital stamp that i printed on some patterned paper that i've had forever. then i used the bottom portion that printed as a template for cutting the denim. and to finish it off i added some glitter spray to the top of the cupcake.

here is today's card that went up over at the jane's doodles blog. to make the trees i turned a triangle banner upside down. the design idea was borrowed from a card i had published in the paper crafts magazine special issue holiday cards & more earlier this year - if you have the issue it's on p19.

today i have a simple canvas that went up on the jane's doodles blog. the pumpkin is a free digital image - which you can download here - that i resized to about 4-inches wide and printed onto a page torn from an old book. then i used spray ink to paint it - like i did on this card a few days ago. before cutting out the pumpkin i glued the paper to a thin sheet of cardboard to make it a bit more sturdy - this step probably wouldn't be necessary if you are just making a card.

also - jane's doodles is having a sale. all clear stamp sets are 20% off through nov 30th.

and a card i made for the jane's doodles blog this week. i paper pieced the froggy and used pop dots to attach the pieces so that i could make it look like he was holding on to the flag. and that sentiment - i actually used a stamp that said "it's a love thing" but only inked up the "hi" in the last word.

here are a couple of cards i made for today's blog hop featuring the newest stamp set from jane's doodles - vintage christmas.

both of these cards have some texture added to the stamped images. after coloring santa's hat with a marker i added a bit of white fluffy flock. as for the happy snowman - his hat was cut from felt, his scarf is a scrap of fabric, and his arms are twigs from the yard.

to start back at the beginning of the blog hop head on over to jane's blog.

one commenter along the hop will win the vintage christmas set - so be sure to leave a comment on each blog you visit to increase you chances of winning.

and the next stop along the hop is one of this month's guest designers - nichol.
