Welcome to Mark's Finest Papers a Heinrich Company's
October Blog Hop!
This month's New Stamp Set Releases are
Christmas Selections Featured October 23
Poinsettia Blooms Featured October 24
Cracked Hello Featured October 25
On The Fly Featured October 26
This first card uses SC235 for my layout and the santas from the set plus the Ho! from Holly Jolly Greetings
This second card uses the sketch SC321 and I remembered my little Cuttlebug strips when it came to the little red strip. The santa and snowmen are from the set (I think one is a snow woman!) and the sentiment from the set we are showing tomorrow - Poinsettia Blooms.
My last card uses the technique from TLC399 but instead of water I used a pearl mist. I used the poinsettia, pine cone and church from the set. I may make some more of these and use them as little "thank you" cards.
Please hop along with us! You have a chance to win one of the above stamp sets! Just comment on the following blogs (don't forget this one), each day for more chances to win! (You do NOT have to comment on all the blogs each day! The names are drawn randomly!)

Poinsettia Blooms Featured October 24
Cracked Hello Featured October 25
On The Fly Featured October 26
This month I offered to make one of the additional cards and was asked to use this set. To be honest I was panicking about having to make more than one card with tiny little stamps, which incidentally I often lose track of, but once I got the stamps and started there was no stopping me!
This first card uses SC235 for my layout and the santas from the set plus the Ho! from Holly Jolly Greetings 
This second card uses the sketch SC321 and I remembered my little Cuttlebug strips when it came to the little red strip. The santa and snowmen are from the set (I think one is a snow woman!) and the sentiment from the set we are showing tomorrow - Poinsettia Blooms.
For this card I used my Spellbinders mittens die and two of the little birds. The sketch I used was SC329. I coloured the mittens with Copics doing the background first so I could give it a little texture.
My last card uses the technique from TLC399 but instead of water I used a pearl mist. I used the poinsettia, pine cone and church from the set. I may make some more of these and use them as little "thank you" cards.
This is a great set!

Especially like how you used the mini stamps. I rcvd the 4 reg stamp sets. You're lucky to have rcvd all the sets including the mini set & window set. Oh to be a Sr DT. Did you see the scrapbook layout I did of a Cheetah sketch my daughter created for me and I used MFP Big Cats stamps posted in the Speedy TV MFP Scrapbook Gallery?
