Mistletoe Greenery
Hello! Today I have a beautiful stamp to share with you…it’s called Mistletoe from Altenew and it is so fun to play with! It is a multi-layer stamp set, so you can use a variety of ink colors to make a beautiful image (no coloring required). I have discovered my favorite green inks so far: […]
Divine Dry Embossing (MFT Camp Create Bonus)
For today’s camp craft, we learned more about dry embossing with a die cut. I opted to use my MFT striped cover plate and an embossing pad to make the following card: I used some Distress ink to ink up those daisies (from MFT) for some variation. I love how it turned out! Hope you […]
A Sweet Hello in a Field of Flowers
Sometimes, when I need to relax, I imagine I’m in a field of flowers. (You do that, too?) And that is what inspired this next card. I stamped the flowers and stems with 2 different colors of ink. Then I cut each of those flowers (from MFT’s Sketched Blooms set) so I could pop them up […]
Farm Animals Lost in the City?
I’ve wanted to use my MFT brick stencil for a while now. And it just came to me one day that there should be Farm Animals on this card. Hmm….farm animals in front of bricks? So these Farm Animals are lost in the city…looking for direction back to the country farm. “Hello” “Hay there!” Lol. […]
You Make My Tail Wag
And this dog makes me smile every time! I did some inking, coloring with prismacolor and glittering. Here’s my card: This stamp set is from My Favorite Things. So cute, right? I was inspired by fall colors for this one! Entering: My Favorite Things Card Challenge (sketch challenge) & Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge. May […]
Learn to Jump
This sweet card is a one-layer card filled with sheep at sunset. (Sheep at sunset? That sounds delightful) The “adult sheep” is teaching the “kid sheep” how to be fabulous by jumping. Lol. I had a great time with this card, masking and inking. I hope you like it! I used distress inks for the […]
Just Hanging Around
I got an opportunity to watercolor the other day. This monkey set from My Favorite Things is perfect for practicing. I pulled out my watercolors (including Tim Holtz Distress markers that I used as watercolor) and got to work. Those leaves and sentiment are also watercolored. Then I added some Glossy Accents to the “hi” […]
So Blessed
I’m using a darling stamp set by My Favorite Things called ‘Best Friends.’ I was inspired to create this card from the current MFT Color Challenge here. I paper pieced the dress, adding extra glitter and foam tape to the bottom of the dress (to make it more frilly!) I also paper pieced the dog’s […]
I like you more than I like bananas
Today I saw this little monkey on my desk and I knew he needed to be made into a card. A shaker card with lots of bananas! I heat embossed the bananas on some watercolor cardstock. Then I watercolored with Akayashi Sai watercolor markers and used the MFT Cheeky Monkey stamp set. Finished it off […]
