Sliders are my new favorite thing to make. Today for MFT Camp Create I made a HIDDEN slider for the first time! I think it it awesome and surprising to have a hidden slider on a card! Oh, and these seagulls are a new favorite set for me: I used the new MFT Cloud Stencil […]

Spectacular Shakers (MFT Camp Create Day 3)
Shaker cards are fun to make and fun to get (don’t you think?) So for today’s MFT Camp Create we got to make one! It took me some time to figure out what my images would be for this shaker, but I came across this cute set that reminded me of 4th of July. I […]
Remarkable Resist (MFT Camp Create Day 2)
I had a fun day at camp working on a Heat Embossed resist background. I used an older MFT stamp set for this one, but its still one of my favorites. Then I took the large scale background stamp (the circles) and heat embossed them on the balloons and the “floor” of this card. I […]
Wonderful Watercolor (MFT Camp Create Day 1)
Today I’m playing along with MFT Camp Create. I’ve never fully tried watercolor on this flower stamp set and today was the day to give it a try! I usually try to stay in the lines and control where the color goes, but for this card I let the color go where it may. And […]
Nuvo Mousse Sea (Sparkle & Shine: Day 5)
I couldn’t resist this Seagull stamp set from MFT Stamps. So I thought it would be the perfect time to try them out with a Nuvo Mousse sea made with a stencil! I learned about Nuvo Mousse and how to use it from Online Card Classes: Sparkle & Shine. I had already purchased some in […]
Glitter Paste Background (Sparkle & Shine: Day 5)
Kristina Werner inspired me in her class on Glitter paste in the Online Card Classes: Sparkle & Shine. I loved how she made the transition in colors of glitter pastes. So I thought I’d give it a try. Lucky for me, I already had 3 colors of glitter paste by Bo Bunny. Here’s the background […]
Perfect Pearls Background (Sparkle & Shine: Day 4)
Confession: This is the first time I have ever used Perfect Pearls. I got a couple colors to try out just for this Online Card Class, Sparkle & Shine. I used a stencil to cover the paper, then added VersaMark ink. Then I applied Perfect Pearls with a paintbrush. Wow! The background turned out so […]
Adding Liquid Sunshine/Rain (Sparkle & Shine: Day 3)
In Day 3 Online Card Classes: Sparkle & Shine, we learned more about liquid applications. One of the classes taught us about making rain and raindrops on our project. I was intrigued by adding colored pencil to the raindrop, then adding glossy accents to the rain. I tried that technique on my project here: I […]
Adding Foil to a Sentiment (Sparkle & Shine: Day 2)
I love the idea of adding foil to my cards! So when I saw that Day 2 was all about foiling I was very excited! But then I found that, while I had a lot of foil in my collection, I didn’t have a lot of WAYS to add my foil to my projects. But […]
Adding shadows to Glitter Paper (Sparkle & Shine: Day 1)
Another technique from the Online Card Class, Sparkle & Shine is to add color to pre-made glitter paper. I tried adding a gray shadow to silver glitter paper. I thought it looked really pretty, but so subtle in real life. So I kept adding more & more gray. In this picture it looks a lot […]
