Cute Penguin

Hi friends, hope you had a great Thanksgiving if you live here in the States.

Ours was wonderful as always, lots to eat and our Granddaughter

 was home from College, and it was so good to get together. 

 We also celebrated our daughter's birthday, and my husbands birthday

 with a Chocolate cake on Friday.  Now to start dieting tomorrow!!

I made this card awhile ago, with a new stamp from Stampendous.

  Love this sweet, happy, Penguin.

Thanks for stopping by today.  Have a great day.  Until later.....

you won't believe how easy this card is to make.

If you love decorating cards, you are going to love this one.

Hint:  There are three main pieces to the card, The base card, the

folding mechanism, and the panel.  Make up your panel with all the

BSS IDEA - Scenic Stamp

Welcome to the Buffalo Stamps and Stuff Idea.

I bought a Penny Black Stamp a few weeks ago because it had

a beautiful scene.  I tried coloring it up several times with 

terrible results. 

Last week, Penny Black ran a week of tutorials and I was

notified by email.  When I opened the tutorial up, lo and behold,

Jill was showing how she does this type of stamp.

A lightbulb went on and after watching the video I could

not wait to try her method.

Here are the results

The stamp is Penny Black-Hidden Lane (40-416)

This could also be done like a winter scene by leaving the

ground white.

Here is a link to the youtube video.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PtgxFaNhg-A

I can't wait to get some more of these beautiful scene

stamps, love the one in the video!

Thanks for stopping by today.  Have a great day.  Until later.....
