"Winter Scenes"

Welcome to MFP a Heinrich Co's last day at the hop!!!!!  Today's release is awesome with soooooo many ways to use this stamp set.  My first project is a set of note cards. I am not sure if this set is going to be a gift or if I am going to use them myself for notes! 

I was able to cut three cards size 3 1/2 x 4 1/4 from an 8 1/2 x 11 piece of MFP Premium white CS.  The music panels were cut 1 3/4 wide. I added some pretty lacey borders with a Martha Stewart border punch and  embellished!

In case I decide to keep them as notes for my use, I embellished each card to correspond with the date I will need to send a note to my daughter's chorus teacher.  

 December's embellishment is a snowman ornament.  I folded back the cord on the snowman so it can be popped off and used.  Fun find: I picked these up at Hobby Lobby in the "mini Christmas Tree" section.  They are sold 6 to a pack and  at half off they only cost me about 16 cents each!

January has a snowflake....where we live...snow?  Probably not...but a fun embellishment anyway.

February has .....hearts of course!!!!

 

My last card is a Christmas card for my husband!  I found this cute wooden banjo while we were in TN this October.  I stamped the holly using the small holly stamp from"Holly Jolly Greetings".

I ran out of time so I couldn't work on the inside of the card but I am going to put a black silhouette of a cat on the inside.  Our little Storm runs upstairs and plunks herself down to listen when my husband plays his banjo!!!! 

I just wanted to give you another view of this terrific stamp.   This is the stamped panel before adding the rest of the items to the card.  What I love about it is that I no longer have to search for just the right music sheet to match my project, I can make my own!   I can't wait to try a die cut from one of my own stamped music sheets!  

Thanks so much for choosing to spend some of  your time with me this week!   If you pop back tomorrow I will have inspiration for this week's Speedy Fox & Friends challenge!
