Anything Goes at FOSTV Challenge # 100

So what did I make?


 Yep I made that...lol

I used my Cameo to cut the gingerbread shape then stamped the image...
it's such a fun way to fussy cut an image...let the die cutter do the hard work
You can find tutorials on how to use your Cameo to fussy cut your stamp images...
I loved how I thought of giving just 1 gingerbread stamp a heart...
I also used my Stamp-A-Majig by Inkadinkado...
I am not so good at using the stamp-a-ma-jig, so I need lots of practice, right....
but to make the stamped sentiment in the corner so I could make
the image look very good, deep color to it...I stamped it a few times
and with this cool tool you can do that easy pegy...

The stamp sets used for this project are:
Presents 2013,
Holiday Tag 2013
Winter Scenes 2012
you can get these stamp sets at
Mark's Finest Papers a Heinrich Co online store

It worked perfect, the sentiments are from a

here is my creation I made with


yep, torn sand paper...
I just love this card...
it looks so 'beachy'
(if that's a word, beachy)
don't you think...
I used the
Spring Things stamp set
for the sentiment on this card...

the flip flops and umbrella were cut using my Cameo.

I also made a card with torn Stampin' Up's
cherry cobbler card stock


So what do you think?
I used Mark's Favorite Papers a Heinrich Co
stamp set...
Fall Apples Stamp
for the apples
the very dark apples

and the sentiment is from...
I Am Thankful Stamp set
check out the other design teams projects

as always you don't have to use a
MFPaHc stamp, BUT if you do
it's like entering 2 cards for every entry.

Well that's today's post for you...

I would like to add a little message to all of our
Wonderful Veteran's
I am so thankful for your dedication to serve.
I never realized before how much the military does for us...

When I see or hear of young men and women
that join the armed forces now
I am so thankful, even with our
horrible situation
these peps still join the military...
so thank you go to each and
every member, current and/or past.
You are brave people
Thank you for our freedom and more...
