Number 79

Hello! Thanks for all the feedback about videos. It seems most people are for it. One thing to keep in mind, this is a CAS blog, so I generally don't feature a lot of techniques. It's also not something I plan to do every week or even necessarily once a month, since I know videos can be a bit of work! But I may do a few here and there, just to show my general creative process, the occasional ten minute card, and perhaps my crafting space (believe me, it's anything but clean and simple!).
Here's this week's sketch.
Here's my card. I thought it'd be cute to make a whole gift set using the animals from Fox & Friends. I've only made one so far, but it would easily come together quickly.
Supplies: Stamps: Fox & Friends (SU!), Birthday Basics (PTI)
Ink: Chocolate Chip

Paper: Sweet Pea DSP, Dark Chocolate, Pink Pirouette, White

Accessories, etc.: Square punch (to make the flag) , pop dots

Dimensions:
Patterned Paper: 4x5-1/4

White Square-2x2

Chocolate Square: 2-1/8x2-1/8

Pink Pirouette: 3/4x4-3/4

As always if you play along, feel free to leave a link to your post!

Ten Minute Monday and a Question

First up, here's a fun and quick card. I really love how vibrant pigment inks show up on kraft cardstock! I think the card is pretty straight forward (most ten minute cards are!), but if you have any questions about it, let me know! Now, I have a question for you. If I were to start posting videos:
1) Is that something you'd like to see?
2) What would you want the videos to be about (it seems like everything has been done!)
Supplies: Stamps: Star Prints, Petal Power, In & Out: Baby (PTI) Ink: Colorbox Moss Green, Peacock, Stampin' Up Chocolate Chip, PTI Fresh Snow Paper: White, Kraft Accessories, etc.: Star Punch

The other two hearts are punched out of regal rose and sweet blush cs and popped up on dimensionals. A Hero Arts rhinestone adds some bling! Thanks for stopping by! Supplies: stamps - Text-style Back. Basics, Paper Tray (PTI); paper - soft stone, charcoal, vanilla, rose red, regal rose, sweet blush, October Afternoon dp; ink - rose red, charcoal; acc - corner rounder, full heart punch(SU), heart trio punch (SU), rhinestone
