MFTWSC122-It's a Boy

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 today, I wanted to play along in this week's Crazy 4 Challenges challenge, so I decided to make a card for a baby...specifically, a baby boy! I used the super cool Airplane Greeting set and matching Die-namics, and cut out my plane using Smooth White and Steel Grey cardstock. I added the stripes down the side using Berrylicious ink, and my propeller was attached with a silver brad. The other Die-namics I used on my card were the Circle Stax Die-namics in Lemon Drop for my sun, the Wonky Scalloped Border Die-namics with Sweet Tooth felt, and my Lead the Way Die-namics in Steel Grey. For my sentiment, it was stamped with Black Licorice ink, and I added a Berrylicous button with Hemp Cord to accent it.

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

Well, that is it for me for now! Be sure to check out the MFT Blog for all the details. :)

Let the Teasers Begin!

 It's time for this month's My Favorite Things teasers to begin!!  For all the important information concerning this release, head on over to the MFT Blog from today through May 7th.

For my card tonight, I decided to use the SUPER cute new Pure Innocence Make a Wish stamp set. I colored her with Copics on X-Press It blending card, and then layered her with the GORGEOUS new color we are releasing this month: Steel Blue. Oh, I love it so much!! My card was made using the new Blueprints 3 Die-namics, and one of the sketches included on the PDF that goes along with this set. My paper is from the Lilybee Designs Buttercup paper pad, and along with the Steel Blue, I used Berrylicious, Smooth White, and Banana Split(Bazzill) cardstock. The embellishments I have used include a Steel Blue button with hemp cord, Michael's brads, and Sweet Tooth grosgrain. To finish, I used Steel Blue ink to stamp my sentiment.

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

Well, that is it for me for now! Thanks for stopping by, and have a great day!!  Be sure to head to the MFT Blog for all the details about this month's release, and be sure to comment for your chance to win!!

KKS176 Embossing

Hey Kraftin' Kimmie fans, and welcome to this week's Kraftin' Kimmie Challenge! This week our hostess is challenging us to make a card using heat or dry embossing. I haven't used embossing since the LAST time someone challenged me to do embossing, so I was kind of excited to play along.

I started with this SUPER cute image from the Down on the Farm set, and paired it with some Lilybee Designs Harvest Market paper, Electric Red, Kraft, and Smooth White cardstock. I used an old Cuttlebug embossing folder...I think it was called weathered? It's been SO long since I used it!! My image was colored with Copics on X-Press It blending card, and I drew the grass in with my Copics. I have to say, of all the grass I've drawn, I am MOST proud of this one!! To finish, I used some Hemp cord, Michael's brads, a spiral clip, and the Sentiment Strips Die-namics.

Well, that is it for me for now! Be sure to check out the Kraftin' Kimmie blog, and say hi to my fellow Krafty Girls!!

MFTWSC121-Happy Birthday

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 today, I used the SUPER cute new Cupcake Cutie from My Favorite Things new artist, Wendy Burns. She was stamped on X-Press It blending card, and then colored with my Copics. I then layered her with Gumdrop Green cardstock and paper pierced the edges. My paper is from the Simple Stories Childish Things paper pad, which I paired with Pink Lemonade, Berrylicious, Smooth White, and Gumdrop Green cardstock. The border I used is the Wonky Scalloped Border Die-namics, and I added brads, and Pink Lemonade Grosgrain. To finish, I used some Hemp Cord to attach my balloon, and I added a cloud from the Cloud Trio Die-namics.

For the inside, I stamped the sentiment from this set, and added another balloon. I connected the balloon and the sentiment using my Copic Multiliner pen.

Well, that is it for me for now! Be sure to check out the MFT Blog for all the details. :)

April Creative Challenge

***if you are here for my There She Goes post, scroll down or go here***

The MFT Design Team Creative Challenge is a monthly feature, where we are challenged to explore our creative side using a specific theme, product, or technique. 

This month, we were challenged to do some scene building with MFT Stamps and Die-namics.  

Be sure to check out the MFT Blog for a list of all participating designers who have a project to share with you today. 

For my project tonight, I used several Die-namics to create this super cute scene with the Pure Innocence Tree Swing stamp set...I love this little boy(who if you remember, I named Bob :) )

For my card, I started by stamping Bob and his puppy on X-Press It blending card, and then I colored them both with Copics. They were both cut out to add to my card. I used the Branch with Leaves Die-namics in Hot Fudge and Sour Apple cardstock to hang my Tree Swing off of. The other Die-namics I used to create my scene were the Sunshine Die-namics, which was cut out of Lemon Drop cardstock, Fresh Cut Grass Die-namics, which was cut out of Sour Apple cardstock, and the Cloud Trio Die-namics from Smooth White. 

For the inside, I used the Sheltering Tree and Leaf Trio Die-namics, and another saying from this set. The leaves and branch were cut out of Hot Fudge and Sour APple cardstock. I used the leftover pieces from my Fresh Cut Grass Die-namics, as well.

Well, that is it for me for now!! Be sure to head on over to the MFT blog for a full list of designers participating in this month's challenge!! Have a great day!

TSG203-Wishing You Happiness

It seems I am always running a bit behind lately, but I didn't want another day to pas without posting the card I made featuring one of this month's There She Goes again sets, Blossom By Blossom. It was made for this week's Just Because challenge....to make a card for no specific reason, just because you can. :)

I had a ton of fun making this, and playing around with different diecuts, and my color combo. I used the MFT Fresh Cut Grass in Sour Apple cardstock for my grass, and accented it with some Michael's brads. My flower is an old MFT die, and I used some Kraft Grosgrain from MFT as well. The paper I used is from the MME Life of the Party paper pad, and I used Hot Fudge, Sour Apple, Cotton Candy, and Smooth White cardstock.

Well, that is it for me for now!! Thanks for stopping by, and have  great day!

I wasn't sure I even owned eyelets any longer, but it turns out I do. I used the Flower and Leaf Trio Die-namics(die and flower) in Pink Lemonade to cut out my flowers, and used three old old old white SU eyelets. My ribbon is Sweet Tooth Grosgrain from MFT, and I used Michael's brads as well. The paper I used is from the Basic Grey Hey Girl paper pad, and I paired it with Hot Fudge, Orange Fizz, Pink Lemonade, and Smooth White cardstock all from MFT.
