Mistletoe Greenery

By on November 15, 2017 in Paper Crafting

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: the lighter green is Chirp Chirp from Waffle Flower, and the darker green ink is Fern from Simon Says Stamp. I am sure I will be using this combination many times this holiday season!

I added the red berries using Distress Oxide ink and added some shading with Prismacolor Pencil. Then I used the JOY die cut from My Favorite Things to cut out a red glitter paper sentiment. I love how this came together.

I love the holiday season and I hope to get a lot of cards made this year. Do you send out holiday cards?

Divine Dry Embossing (MFT Camp Create Bonus)

By 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!

A Sweet Hello in a Field of Flowers

By on September 20, 2016 in Paper Crafting

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 for a 3D effect. Maybe you can see that better in this next picture:

See that fun effect? Of course I had to add some glitter to those flowers.

I used distress ink for the background, and Prismacolor pencils for the coloring. Then I used a die cut (using MFT Wonky Stitched Rectangles) to dry Emboss the frame. The squirrel is from MFT Forest Friends. Isn’t he cute?

And now I must say a sweet goodbye. Hope you enjoyed!

Farm Animals Lost in the City?

By on September 20, 2016 in Paper Crafting

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.

I used multiple MFT products:

Small Brick Wall Stencil
The Whole Herd Stamp Set
You Make My Tail Wag Stamp Set (for the fire hydrant)
Hello Dienamics (Still one of my favorites)

I used distress ink in multiple colors on the bricks, and Prismacolor pencils to color in the animals. Isn’t that rooster so very colorful!?

I had a great time with this one. Hope you enjoy!
