Yes, I think you’re fabulous. And I also thing card-making is fabulous. Put the two together and you have a whole lot of fabulous-ness! Today, my card is inspired by the Ellen Hutson August Pin-Sights Challenge I combined watercolored stamping, a beautiful die, glitter paper, and Nuvo drops to create this Fabulous card. I think […]

Thinking of Ewe
Here’s my last card entry for the MFT Camp Create Bonfire challenge. It’s a single layer card. These cards take patience, and lots of masking. I now think I might officially be crazy because I cut that fencing out of masking paper in order to get that white effect when I sponged on the distress […]
Hey, Friend
This little kitty and bird together are the most unlikely friends…but it works. The kitty has to hang on to the giant balloon in order to say hello to his flying friend. I used multiple sets for this. By Paper Smooches: Chubby Chums, My Peeps, and Happy Camper (for the friend sentiment). Entering the Paper […]
Go Wild
I love these stamps by WPlus9, and I was delighted to use them again for this week’s Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Let’s Go Wild. These cute Wplus9 critters are having a wild party with cupcakes. (That’s about as wild as it gets around here, peeps!) I used distress inks and a MFT stencil for […]
You brighten my cloudy days
This card is inspired by the Neat & Tangled challenge: Little Tangles: Shakers/Sequins I thought I was going to do a shaker card, but when it all started coming together, it turned into this: I used a variety of inks from Simon Says Stamp, matching sequins from Pretty Pink Posh and the Clouds stamps are […]
Shadow Stamping
The final MFT Camp Create is Stunning Shadow Stamping. This was a fun challenge…and new to me. First I stamped with Hero Arts Unicorn white pigment ink, then offset on top of that I used Hero Arts Cornflower ink. I think it looks nice on the blue cardstock. I used a few light blue sequins […]
Dry Embossed Background
So I struggled with this MFT Camp Create – Divine Dry Embossing. I don’t have many dies, but I did find one that might work…these daisies. I ran the card through my Big Shot machine multiple times with a rubber mat in order to emboss these flowers onto the shimmery yellow paper (from Bazzill). Then […]
Single Layer Card with MFT
Today’s MFT Camp Create Bonfire Challenge is Single Layer Savvy. Oftentimes it requires much masking and patience to make a single layer card. I have not done many of these type of cards (yet), but this time I thought I’d jump right in! I used my Prismacolor pencils for the coloring, and distress inks for […]
Emboss Resist Butterflies
It’s all about Remarkable Resist at MFT Camp Create. And I couldn’t resist playing with the Sweet Forest Friends stamp set for this one! I embossed those butterflies with white embossing powder, then inked on some distress inks. I think it’s so cute how that bunny is looking up at the butterflies. Then I colored up […]
Awesome Ombre Flamingo
For todays MFT Camp Create Challenge, I am entering the following pink Ombre card: I used the darling Flamingoes die from My Favorite Things on a watercolored panel I made. Didn’t that watercoloring give the body of the flamingo so much interest and movement?! And, yes, I am a crazy person for gluing on all […]
