Happy Purrthday!

Frantic Stamper is our fantastic sponsor for October and the winner will receive a fantastic die.  Here it is!

Priced at $25.99 - Prize for October

The challenge for October is Fall or Fall Colors.  You can work with the wonderful Fall colors or any holidays in October - for Americans, it's Halloween, so work your FALL MAGIC for us.

Frantic Stamper has so much to offer, stencils, stamps and dies.  We want to showcase some of the products along our month-long journey through October.  Frantic Stamper carries their own brand as well as many other well known brands, such as Altenew and Elizabeth Craft Designs.

I have fallen in love with this Magic Picture Changer die! It's really fun to play with when you're done. But... watch the video Lawn Fawn has for how to put it together! It's super easy when you follow along with the instructions.

 This is going to be my brothers birthday card. Lucky for me, my siblings don't pay attention to my blog! I felt this fit the theme because of the colors I chose-brown, tan, orange, and sky blue. Seems like fall to me-and my brothers birthday is in early November, so it suits.

 Here are the materials I used for this card-

1. Stamps: cat, smile sentiment ( If Cats could Talk - Taylored Expressions), sentiment (Smitten Kitten-My Favorite Things).
2. Dies: Magic Picture Changer (Lawn Fawn), Magic Picture Changer Add-On (Lawn Fawn).
3. Paper: paw print (Bo Bunny-Happy Tails collection), plaid (unknown), kraft cardstock, dark brown cardstock.
4. Copic Markers.
