MFP September Blog Hop Sneak Peek

Hi Everyone!  Its the Monday before this month's Mark's Finest Papers blog hop so that means its time for a sneak peek!!  Today I'll be showing you the extra full set, and the mini set that comes with the four main sets when you purchase them as a bundle.  I'm really excited to show you!

First I'll show you the extra set.  Its a Christmas themed set, which is good because Christmas is right around the corner.  Called "  it is a great set to use for both cards and for gift tags:


I came up with two similar cards for this set:











The images and the tags work perfectly together.

The second set is the mini set this month and I must say its my favourite set being offered this month.  Its called "Nature's Broadstrokes":


I love that flower image. So pretty!  Even so, I started with the 'nature' stamp because as soon as I saw it I was inspired to create my own embellishment with it:




I love the faux-metal embellishment technique. You can find a tutorial here.  I also made some rolled flowers by cutting out two rough circles, then cutting them into spirals and rolling them to make two flowers.  I love this patterned paper so it is a good way to use up the scraps.

I couldn't help but go CAS for my second card:




A simple card for a simple image.  I love this image!  I can see myself using it over and over and over.  And I love that the set included a mini version too, perfect for the inside.  :)

Thats it for today, I hope you liked what I've come up with.  And I hope you come back tomorrow for the blog hop!  There are lots of lovely sets that I know you will enjoy!
