And for My Next Trick...

It's time to bring out that birthday calendar for next year and see who you need to get make some cards for, and it's always good to have a few extra on hand too.  This Plate Spinner image is very versatile and can be used in many different ways!

From all of us at the Hambo Hoedown here's to a happy, healthy, and pig-taculor New Year!!

GIVE YOURSELF a pat on the pack for a great year full of great projects! Hey, if you can't reach, we will help - and for today only, pats on the back are on special... "this one's on the house!"

Happy 'Newt' Year!

Hello Hambo Friends!

I hope you all had a wonderful holiday and are able to get a little relaxation in.  At least catching your breath from all the hub bub!

I have a fun New Years card to share with you using Hambo's Newt and coordinating sentiment.  This is sure to bring a smile to your recipient's face!

 

 

I stamped Newt with Memento Black before coloring him with Copics.  I then paper pieced his shirt using Echo Park's Reflections Fall collection for the patterned paper.  The same paper was used on the top panel while the sentiment was stamped directly on the base of the card.  Newt was then popped up.  The card was finished with some MS twill ribbon, a button, and some twine jute cording. 

 

Here's to wishing you a fabulous and prosperous 2014!  Thanks for stopping by!

"Check Mate"

Hello, Jane here, wishing you all a very happy boxing Day. this is the second week for the Kraft card theme for the Kraft card theme for the Hoedown Challenge here at Hambo Stamps.I have made this quirky card,the two chess pieces are taken from a full digital image set, quite appropriately called..CHESS SET!! I think it is kinda cute, and a great image for a card to send to some budding Garry Kasparov or Bobby Fischer. I must admit I am a rubbish chess player, always on the defensive, never take risks, don't think too far in front!!  they say that chess brings out your true personality!!! they got that one right.. LOL.
