For my card tonight, I wanted to make a VERY rock in roll card, which TOTALLY reflects my personality, LOL!! I used Black Licorice, Whip Cream and the AWESOME new Electric Red cardstock for my card. I paired it with two different MME Pads-Lost & Found Union Square and Halloween. As I stated before, I used the Blueprints 1 Die-namics to create my SUPER fun layout, which can be found on the MFT blog, or will be available at the time of purchase :). My ribbon is Black Licorice Grosgrain, and I used Michael's brads, and Creative Express spiral clips. For my sentiment from the, Document It Rock On set, both inside and out, I used the Black Licorice ink pad, and for my ROCK symbol, I used Electric Red....such a GORGEOUS new red to add to your collection!

Here is a close up of the Accent It-Rock and Roll Die-namics. I used several of them, and created a fun embellishment for my card. \m/

For the inside, I used more of the same supplies.

For my card tonight, I used the GORGEOUS new Poppies set, which I stamped with Jellybean Green and Wild Cherry Ink. My card was made, as I said before, using the new Blueprints 1 Die-namics. I followed one of the FABULOUS sketches that was provided, and used Jellybean Green, Wild Cherry, X-Press It Blending Card, and MME On the Bright Side paper. I used Hemp Cord, Kraft Grosgrain, Michael's brads, and a Wild Cherry button to embellish my card.

CAS Card Set-Easter

The felt the urge to play around with the Embellished Eggs set from My Favorite Things, and I am in LOVE with it!! 

So much so, I decided to make a card set using this set! I started by cutting all my eggs out with the Easter Elements Die-namics. 

I then stamped my eggs on the die cuts using Pink Lemonade, Sno Cone, Lemon Drop, and Grape Jelly ink. I added subtle shading with my Copic markers to make the colors pop

I then cut my base and white layer out of X-Press It blending card, and cut out the hole using my Open Scalloped Doily Duo Die-namics. I also used the Fresh Cut Grass Die-namics and some Sour Apple cardstock to make my grass at the bottom of my cards. 

My colored cardstock pieces are the same as my ink colors: Grape Jelly, Lemon Drop, Sno Cone, and Pink Lemonade. I used grosgrain in all of those colors as well.

To finish, I added my stamped eggs, and my sentiment.

For all their insides, I used the same supplies.

Here are the Die-namics I have used:

Well, that is it for me for now! Be sure to check out the MFT blog for a full list of designers participating in today's sketch!

My other embellishments include buttons in Berrylicious, Bubblegum, and Sour Apple-which all have hemp cord through them, some Michael's brads, and a spiral clip.

I Miss My Peeps

I recently got asked to make some Easter cards, and here is one that made for that order.  One of the cards she wanted was for someone who lives far away, and the new One of my Favorite Peeps set is perfect for that cause if you ask me :) It made me realize, I miss some of my favorite peeps, too. I've been battling a wicked migraine for almost 3 weeks now, and I just finally got to where I can make myself stamp....it's killing my mojo.

As I already said, I used the SUPER cute new Pure Innocence-One of my Favorite Peeps sets. I paired it with Bubblegum, Berrylicious, Sweet Tooth, and Sour Apple cardstock. For my scene, I used the Fresh Cut Grass Die-namics along with the Lattice Fence Die-namics. For my flowers, I used the Flower and Leaf Trio Die-namics, and I used one to accent my sentiment cut out with the Sentiment Strips Die-namics. I also used Bubblegum Grosgrain and Michael's brads to decorate my card.

For the inside, I used the Small Open Scalloped Strip Die-namics, and another flower.

Here are the Die-namics I have used: 

Well, that is it for me for tonight, I will be back tomorrow with more. :)
