Again, NOT shocking, but I have used the new Blueprints 1 Die-namics for my card....they really DO make stamping and card making SO easy!! I used the new Feeling Sassy set, which I did a combination of Copic coloring and paper piecing. My paper is from the Lilybee Designs Handmade paper pad, and I paired it with MFT's Wild Cherry, Gumdrop Green, X-Press it blending card, and Bazzil's Banana Split. I used Hemp Cord through my Sweet Tooth button, and I did quite a bit of paper piercing. My embellishments include Michael's brads, and Wild Cherry Grosgrain.


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

And if I haven't mentioned before---I love the new Blueprints 1 Die-namics, LOL!!

MFTWSC114- Crack Me Up

Hey everyone, and happy Wednesday!! That means it is time for another Wednesday Stamp Club challenge from My Favorite Things! It's MY favorite sketch challenge!



For my card, I used the SUPER cute new Bunny Ears stamp set released last month from My Favorite Things. I stamped her on X-Press It blending card, and then colored her with my Copics. I paper pieced her egg with some MME Lavender paper, and cut an extra arm out to make it look as iff the arm was on top of the egg, otherwise it just looks sunken in. :)
I then cut my image out with the Fishtail Flags Die-namics. For my background, I used the Open Scalloped Doily Duo Die-namics, and some more of the MME Lavender paper. My embellishments are Bubblegum Grosgrain, Michael's brads, hemp cord, and Bubblegum buttons. The cardstock colors I used are Bubblegum and Sweet Tooth. 


For the inside, I used the same supplies.

Here are the Die-namics I have used:

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!

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:
