MFT Sketch #338

I made this card for the MFT Sketch #338. I wanted to keep this pretty basic so I pull out some old designer paper. I popped up the balloon and circle with the elephant on it. I also added some glitter & crystal effect on the balloon. A few sequins finished this one off.

Thanks for looking! 

Camp Create Day 2

I was inspired by today's challenge so I decided to step way outside my comfort zone. I normally don't create floral cards but the example card for the challenge was beautiful and inspired me to create one of my own.

My Favorite Things Camp Create Day 2

I pulled out stamps I haven't used in years, even had to wipe the dust off them. I used SU Canvas background and the flowers from another old SU set.

I used my watercolor crayons to color the flowers. Today is the first day I have used those crayons, and that's another thing I've had for years. When I stamped the Canvas background I embossed it with clear and added gray ink on top of that.

Thanks for checking out my card!

Better Than Ice Cream

I started making a card and didn't like what I came up with, so I took it in another direction. This is what I came up with. I used more DP for the background and I even added a little lace along the bottom edge. I went to get some beads for the sprinkles on top but the ones I got were too long. So I went with the seed beads. Not exactly what I was going for but I think it works. I also put some CE on the ice cream to help the beads stick. And, of course, I colored with my Copics.

MFT Ice Cream

I pulled out this MFT stamp set that I haven't used very much. I just love this cup of ice cream. I color it green every time because it reminds me of the green cups like this that my mom had when I was a kid. She always made pudding in them but I still color the ice cream cup green. I added some glitter to the chocolate using a glitter pen and a rhinestone on top for the cherry.

MFT- Get Well

I made this card using my MFT stamp set Rain or Shine. I just love that set because of this little dog. I used paper piecing on the raincoat. I used celery to layer behind the DP I used (blue & dots). I added a little blue halo around the image. Maybe I should have done another color since everything is already so blue. Oh well!

Have Another Ice Cream

I made another MFT ice cream card last night. I used some more of My Mind's Eye DP from the pack I got the other day. I also used Pretty in Pink as my base color. I was so excited that all my nesties came in yesterday! I ordered the ovals, scallop ovals, circles, and scallop circles.

So I have to give them a try. Using my Cuttlebug, I cut the oval and the scallop oval for the main image. I also added pinkish, purplish glitter on the top and a pink rhinestone cherry.

Ice Cream & Another Mojo45

Here are some cards I made last night. I have been seeing some really cute cards on SCS using the ice cream from MFT Here's the Scoop. As you can see from the first pictures, I added lots of glitter and a little bling to make this ice cream look like you could eat it!

For the background I used paper from my new pack (made by My Mind's Eye). The green glass reminds me of the little dessert cups my mom always put dessert in when I was a kid. It is a little green for this color scheme but I had to leave it! Anyway, I used True Thyme for the base and layering.

I also gave the Mojo45 Challenge another try too. I didn't all the scallops at the bottom but I used the same general lay out. I colored Bella's body, hair, and bag. Then I did paper piecing for her bikini and towel. I like the way it tied the image in with the DP I used. I don't normally use these peachy pink colors a lot.

My New MFT Set

Here is the first card I made with my new MFT stamps Call Me. I used paper piecing for the chair and wallpaper. I wonder what I was thinking to cut all that out! I like the way it turned out so I guess it was worth all the cutting! I used the CB embossing folder to do the dots on the background and I cut out the tag with my CB. Since I didn't really have any ribbon that matched this I used paper to make faux ribbon.

Rain or Shine

Here is another card using my other MFT stamp set. This one is called Rain or Shine. I loved it because of the cute little dog. I have the perfect person in mind for this card. I have been thinking about what I wanted to do on this one so it turned out just like I wanted it to. I used Choc Chip and Ruby Red Stampin' Up cardstock to go along with this DP I picked up at my LSS. I wanted to put some ribbon on it but I'm out of Choc Chip ribbon. I'm so sad because it isn't in the SU catalog any more so I'm not sure where I'm going to find some. I used my Kooh-i-noor pencils to color this image and I love how they help me become a better colorer (is that a word? lol). I used the Gina K tutorial and I'm doing much better. I hope the person who gets this one enjoys it!

I'm Back!

I'm back from the Mayo Clinic and I'm still waiting for a diagnosis. They have found a lot of things wrong with me but they just aren't sure what to call it yet. I should hear from the doctor within the next day or so.

I missed my stamping while I was gone. So I have made a few cards since I've been back. Here are a few of them. This first one I made for my sister-in-law. She fell and twisted her ankle. She has newborn twins and a 2 year old at home. Now she has an ankle boot to go with it. I pulled down Sassy Stems because I haven't used it in a while. I really love this set!

I also pulled out my MFT stamp sets. I didn't have the right kind of ink so I went to Hobby Lobby and got some that works wonderful with these sets. I made this card for one of my best friend's birthday. She turns 30 this weekend! So I wanted to use this set to make a card for her. I used my new Kooh-i-noor pencils to color both of these. I love these pencils so much and they don't cost as much as my Prismacolors did. I hope Trace likes this card! Maybe she won't see this post before I can give it to her.
