Fluffles and a quiet weekend
I finished this card late last night for the limited supply challenge on SCS. I had used one critter stamp, one sentiment, one background stamp, 2-4 layers and no embelishments. Im glad I got it done last night, but I’ll get to that in a moment.
I love little fluffles!
So I spent the afternoon in the emergency room after my wrist was getting worse in the last 24 hours. I had an accupuncture appt. and she told me to go get an x-ray since I was having so much pain.
Nothing is broken, but Im in a splint (basically a temporary cast) for the next 4-5 days. So needless to say my blog will be quiet since typing with my left hand is tough and I cant make anything one handed.
So if you dont hear from me over the weekend it’s because Im in bed on drugs. Take care and have fun creating! I’m already itching to get my hands on the Papertrey sets!

Yes, I’ve got that ol’ cat scratch fever! And it goes by the name of FLUFFLES! 
In my order from frugalities today were 3 more fluffles stamps, including the ladybug fluffles. And for those of you who’ve been to my house, you’ll know my youngest daughter Audrey’s room has a ladybug theme. And you know my love of ladybugs, so how could I possibly resist Sir Fluffles with ladybugs? 
Instructions:
1. Starting with a piece of real red CS at 5 1/2 x 4 1/2.
2. Then I cut a piece of whisper white at 5 x 4 and made it into fun background paper using autumn leaves flowers set. I used a single flower image in barely banana first and then in real red on top. And then I used a sponge and barely banana ink to sponge the edges.
3. I adhered this piece to the card and then used my cropadile to place the white brad/eyelets in the four corners.
4. Cutting a piece of whisper white to 2 1/2 x 2 and stamping fluffles in stazon black. I then colored the image with my marvelous markers. And then sponged around the edge in real red ink.
5. Next I cut a piece of barely banana at 2 3/4 x 2 3/4 and attatched fluffles with dimensionals to the banana and then the banana to the base with dimensionals.
6. Finally I used candy cane stickles onto the ladybugs to make them extra fun and special.
I hope you enjoy this fast little card. I loved the flower image as a background stamp! Actually all of the images in that set are wonderful for backgrounds.
And Im so happy to have made 2 cards tonight so that tomorrow I can play with my glass soldering more! I made a pendant on Monday night, but it is obviously something that takes time and practice to perfect. After all, we are talking about melting silver and creating something smooth and pretty with it!

Two, two, two challenges in one!
Tonight’s card covers both Beate’s sketch challenge and Rhi’s challenge for metal! My first round of goodies came today, and all that scraps was the fastest shipper. In the package was a bottle of silver liquid pearl, pink liquid pearl, strawberry ice stickles and this cute “fluffles and baubles” stamp.
I actually got 3 packages today, one from creative wholesale with my resin mixing cups and dogwood flower assortment. One from ebay for acryllic blocks. Which were an AWESOME deal! I got 8 with a storage box for $17, and that included shipping! The blocks by the way are very nice quality, thick and many different sizes. And the last package was from all that scraps. Quite an exciting day at the mail box!
Here’s little Fluffie McFluffenheim:
If your interested, here’s how little fluffles was made:
1. Starting with a piece of cranberry crisp 5 1/2 x 4 1/2.
2. Next I stamped fluffles in stazon black onto whisper white and then colored him in with my blender pens, classic inks, WWC and the liquid pearls. Then I cut him out with my round coluzzle and sponged the edges in mellow moss and cranberry crisp.
3. I then cut out the next largest size circle and sponged the edges in mellow moss and mounted the two together.
4. With a piece of whisper white cut to 2 1/2 x 3 1/2 I stamped the swirly image (from a cheapie $1 clear set from Michaels) in barely banana, mellow moss and cranberry crisp.
5. Then I cut a piece of mellow moss at 2 3/4 x 3 3/4 and adhere both layers and then mounted them with dimensionals on the card front.
6. Using a dimensional on one side of fluffles and glue on the other I placed him next to the rectangle.
7. With cranberry crisp ink I stamped the “enjoy” sentiment, again from the $1 Michaels set in the bottom right hand corner.
8. Finally I punched holes with my hand held punch and placed two silver brads on either side.
I finished all of my Holiday swaps tonight and next I need to make six cards for another swap. But tomorrow Im going to play with some resin or my glass soldering as well!
