The Card Concept Challenge Time

Hi all! I'm here (albeit a little late) with my card for the latest The Card Concept Challenge. I used a new set from Erin Lee Creative along with one of her new stencils (the embossed shimmery houndstooth background). The sentiment is from the MFT Sending Sweet Celebration Wishes set.

Thank you for stopping by!

The Card Concept Challenge Time!

Hi all!  Happy Wednesday and welcome to another The Card Concept Challenge!  I swiped some of my Copic markers to create a rainbow pattern then cut it out with the Celebrate Speech Bubble die-namic then backed it with white cardstock.  I used Versamark ink to clear emboss the Radiating Halftone background stamp onto the black licorice card base, then adhered the Celebrate die on top. 

Thanks for stopping by! We look forward to seeing your creations!

MFT Card Design Superstar Contest!

HI all!  Here's my card for the Clean And Simple category of the MFT Card Design Superstar contest. I used the Floral Fantasy background for this sympathy card.  I embossed the stamp with white embossing powder, then colored with my Zig pens, blending with water as I went. I added a twist to the card by cutting the image then adhering to acetate to create my card front. The sentiment is from Brushstroke Expressions. There are some amazing entries in ALL of the categories, so I'm SUPER nervous!

Thanks for stopping by!

Have a Jawsome Day!

Hi all! I made another card for the MFT Summer School Classes - this one is for the Repetition challenge. I stamped the shark from the new Beach Buds stamp set then colored them with my Zig pens and some water to create my ocean scene. I love the loose watercolored look. The sentiment is embossed. I added a few clear gumdrops for fun.  :D

Have a delightful day

HI all! Here's a card I made for the MFT Stamps Summer School 2018 Day 1 challenge: White Space. Well, my 'white space' is kraft colored :) I used an image from the BB You Gnome Me stamp set with a sentiment from the retired Sweet Forest Friends set. I used a (retired) Pierced Circle STAX die-namic to emboss the card base then layered the image over it creating a highlight. A trio of clear sequins add a little something extra, as do the rounded corners.

The Card Concept Challenge Time!

Hi all! It's time for our last challenge of the summer over on The Card Concept Blog! I loved the gold and pinks so I embossed the Floral Fantasy BG stamp on some watercolor paper then used a few inks to swipe on some color, similar to the table card. I added a little twine behind the embossed sentiment from the Brushstroke Expressions set (retired).

We hope you'll play along with us!

Thanks for stopping by and see y'all back on The Card Concept Challenge Blog in September!

The Card Concept Challenge Time!

HI all! Welcome to another challenge over on The Card Concept Challenge Blog. Are these pillows not some of the cutest you've seen? I happily inked up some of my MFT stamp set, For Owl You Do. I colored them with Copics then layered them around the sentiment from the same set using foam adhesive. I framed them using one of the Stitched Rectangle Scallop Die-namics. The Sno Cone card base was stamped and embossed using the Itsy Bitsy Polka Dots background stamp.

We would love for you to play along with us!

Happy embossed birthday

Hi all!  Here's my take on the MFTWSC370 sketch challenge.  I sponged some black licorice cardstock with a few different Ranger Distress Oxide inks, then gold embossed the Floral Fantasy BG stamp over it.  The sentiment is from the Bitty Bears set.

CAS-ual Fridays Inspiration Challenge Time!

Hi all!  OMG it's December!  GAH!  I sure hope y'all are more prepared for the holidays than I currently am, Geez Louise...  Lol, it'll be fine.  Everything is fine!  HA!  Well, it's time for a new CAS-ual Fridays Inspiration Challenge.  Bring on the winter blues!  I stamped lots of the images from Bring on the Snowflakes onto my Cornflower blue card base. A few are even embossed.  I stamped that big, beautiful sentiment from the Merry set in Nightshift Blue and die-cut it with a circle die.  The smaller snowflakes around the sentiment are from the Merry set, as well.  A few glittery gumdrops add a finishing touch.  This also fits the FMS315 sketch.

Thanks for stopping by!  Be sure to play along for your chance to win :D

Warmest Yeti Wishes

Hi all!  Here's my take on the latest MFTWSC360 sketch.  These Yetis will always be a favorite of mine.  :)  I colored him with Copics and added glossy accents to his cup (looks like white dots in the pic - so weird).  I stamped 'Be Merry' from the Snow Globe sentiments set in Sno Cone ink on Blu Raspberry card stock.  I then embossed 'Warmest Wishes' from the same set in white.  The 'snowflakes' above the Yeti's head are from the Santa's Elves set which I stamped with Grout Gray ink onto Grout Gray card stock that I cut out with my A2 Stitched Rectangle STAX.  The card base is Lavender Fields.

Thanks for stopping by!

Hi all!  I hope this week went by as fast for you as it did for me!  And that means it's time for a new CAS-ual Fridays Challenge!  I adore this Pretty Posies stamp set!  The sentiment is from as retired CAS-ual Fridays set.  I did a very loose watercoloring of the flowers and leaves with distress inks on watercolor paper.  I added glossy accents to the flower centers.  The sentiment is embossed with white embossing powder.

Celebrate You

Hi all!  I did a little crafting just for fun using some new Concord & 9th stamps and dies!  Their Blooms Fill-In stamp set was irresistible!  I embossed the 'You' from the All About You die set with gold embossing powder.  'Celebrate' is from the same die set and was cut out three times then layered.

Thanks for stopping by!

CAS-ual Fridays Challenge Time!

Hi all!  Welcome to a new challenge on the CAS-ual Fridays Challenge Blog!  This challenge is to create anything but a card, so I made two tags!  I sponged the tags with Distress Oxide inks, then spritzed them with water.  The thinking of you sentiment is from the So Pretty stamp set.  The flowers and other sentiment are from a retired set.  Both sentiments are embossed with white embossing powder.

Thanks for stopping by!  Be sure to play along for your chance to WIN!!!  :D

Happy Pawlidays

Hi all!  Here's a card I made using new goodies from MFT (couldn't resist those pups!) for the MFTWSC356.  I sponged the background with peach bellini and tickled pink inks, then used Copic markers to add some dots, then spritzed with water for even more dimension.  I masked the tree while doing all that sponging and spritzing :)  The Pup and sentiment are up on foam adhesive.
