Let's get to it!!



Since all my cards use predominantly the same supplies, I will just tell you what I used! For my images, I used the No Peeking set. They were stamped on X-Press It Blending card, and then colored with my Copics.



Next, I punched out the images with my SU 1 1/4in circle punch. For it's layers, I used the 1 3/8" and Scalloped circle punches. They were punched out of Red Hot and Pink Pirouette.



For my paper, I used the SUPER CUTE Be Merry paper from My Mind's Eye. It was layered with Sweet Tooth and Pink Pirouette. I then paper pierced it, and tied either MFT Red Collection Plaid ribbon, or MFT Pink Collection Satin Edged Ribbon.



My sentiments were cut out using the Dog Tag Die-namics from My Favorite Things, and then added to my ribbons with either Blossom or Maraschino Twine.



To finish my cards off, I added some Silver Glitter Dots, that I purchased from Gina K. years ago!!



All of that was added to a Fossil Base, and VIOLA...they were finished!!

Well, that is it for me for now! Thanks for stopping by, and be sure to go by the There She Goes blog for more inspiration!! Have a stampy day!!
