Glitzy Glitter! (MFT Camp Create Day 5)

By KariV on June 20, 2017 in Paper Crafting

Who can resist a little glittery glitz? Of course I was very excited about today’s camp craft with MFT. I took some darling MFT monkeys and added some glittery shirts using scor-tape. It’s nice and strong and keeps the glitter in place pretty well.

Here’s my card:

They are ready for a night out on the town with their new glittery shirts! I had to cut out another monkey arm with a banana to pop up on top of that lower monkey…

I also used some new-to-me Distress Oxide inks for the background. They blend so nicely!

I think these monkeys look great in their finery. Lol. Hope you enjoyed!

Divine Dry Embossing (MFT Camp Create Bonus)

By KariV on June 19, 2017 in Paper Crafting

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 enjoy!

Spectacular Shakers (MFT Camp Create Day 3)

By KariV on June 17, 2017 in Paper Crafting

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 cut the windows for this shaker using a craft knife, just following some simple pencil lines I drew. I think it turned out cute! What do you think?

I colored the images with Copic markers and inked up the card panel with Distress Ink in Festive Berries & Abandoned coral. Happy (early) 4th of July!

Remarkable Resist (MFT Camp Create Day 2)

By KariV on June 16, 2017 in Paper Crafting

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 used Distress Oxide inks to ink up over the heat embossing. I have a full review of Distress Oxide inks coming soon!

Here’s my card:

I’ve always wanted a yellow party dress! Lol. So this lucky girl got to have one. I was going to have her hold the bouquet of balloons, but this little bunny hopped on in and did the job. 🙂

Hope you enjoy!

Nuvo Mousse Sea (Sparkle & Shine: Day 5)

By KariV on May 18, 2017 in Paper Crafting

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 Sea Foam green and was waiting for just the right time to use it. Enter Day 5: Paste & Mousse.

Here is my card. The Nuvo Mousse has a little shiny sheen to it when you hold it in the right light. And look closely, because I added a little “glitter foam” to the top of the waves for even more sparkle! (Can you ever have too much sparkle?) I did this using a VersaMark Pen, then sticky embossing powder, then distress glitter in Clear Rock Candy. Can you believe I have never used sticky embossing powder before this class? It’s a tragedy! I love this stuff!

I love Seagulls. They are great for coloring…so easy! I just added a little gray and some yellow/orange for the beaks. The sentiment makes me smile, too. I imagine the seagulls fighting over the fish…saying “mine, mine, mine, mine!” Lol.

I wish you could see the shimmer better. But real life is always more glittery, I guess. 🙂
