MFT - A La Modes - Birthday Girl

Hello! It's coming up for a full week of posting! Are you totally sick of me yet??? Turns out, having a whole bunch of new stuff from the craft show has re-ignited my mojo! I have another card to share -

I started out knowing I wanted to use a new addition (that arrived in the mail last week) the Papertrey Ink Framed set, and I knew I wanted to make this Birthday Girl (MFT) look like she was in a polaroid picture. I coloured her up using my Spectrum Noir Markers, and coloured the background in a neutral grey, so she wasn't up against a stark white background. I used papers from Simple Stories and Authentique (that orange has been on my desk since this card....)I then used the new Faux Crochet border die-namic and mounted it on some grey card. The whole card is mounted on Kraft card base and then I added a rolled flower with a couple of crochet flowers behind it to mimic leaves. 

I am entering this into the Splitcoast Stampers MFT Sketch #86

Cornish Heritage - Kitty Stamp Thank You Card

Hi Guys! Back today with another card from the Tuesday... This one is a card especially for my little sister ("Hi Beck") and in a way for my Dutch cousin Joan, who really wanted to see some cat cards on my blog...  I have avoided doing anything with cats for a couple of reasons, but the big one recently is, Mark took the cats when he moved out, so apart from seeing their adorable faces on the fridge door as magnets, I don't get to see them anymore. When he moved, this was one of the toughest things for me. The kitties were definitely my babies, but I know they are being loved, and looked after at least... On with the card hey?

My dear friend Annmaree sent me this image last week, and it was actually the first time I've coloured an animal stamp (in a very long time at least) I used my Stampin' Write Markers on watercolour paper, and a blender pen. I then cut the main image out using my spellbinders nestie Ovals and a Nestie Label 4 in Soft Suede. I stamped my woodgrain stamp on the Bashful Blue base and Soft Suede label in coordinating ink. I then wrapped some Moss Green Seam Binding ribbon around the blue base and tied a big bow. I layered it all onto a Crumbcake base and added three Blush Blossom Mini Rolled Roses  and a sentiment in Soft Suede to finish it all off. 

I am entering this into two challenges, the first is the sketch over at Tuesday Morning Sketches which grabbed me as soon as I saw it. I think its the ribbon treatment to be honest, I love that it frames the card nicely... Next up is the Fancy Flowers challenge at the Ribbon Carousel.

My Favourite Things Mother's Day Card

Hi Lovelies! Happy Mother's Day to everyone who follows my blog (even if you're a mum to a fur baby!)

I started out with a Gray card base and some patterned paper from the store. I layered them up and then coloured and paper pieced the My Favourite Things (Pure Innocence)  Being Cute is What I do stamp using this paper pad for her shirt. I then used the back of  one of these tags  to stamp my sentiment stamp on, as well as a flourish stamp that has been in my stash forever... I sponged all around it with Tim Holtz Distress ink in Spun Sugar and threaded some Blossom twine through the hole and tied a bow. I added some Liquid Pearls in White Opal on the bottom of the tag. I then used the Rolled Roses die from MFT Die-namics (I love these dies!)  and popped more Liquid Pearls in the centre. I finished off this card by going around the edge with my white gel pen. 

This card meets the this months challenge with Pink, Flowers and Bling!

The Greeting Farm - Glimmer Bean

Hi All! It's time for me to play at The Stamp Spot Blog - So, here goes....

I started off this card knowing that I wanted to use this paper from Basic Grey, it's from the Lemonade Collection and is called Flower Garden. I sat and looked at the paper, and coloured my image to match, using my watercolour markers. I then fussy cut her out, and set her aside. I used some lace from the store, and layered it on to the patterned paper, then using two MFT Dienamics (Mini Rolled Roses, and Rolled Rose die) I cut out three roses, one from Pirouette A4 cardstock and two from some felt from my stash. I added a brad to the centre of the larger rose, which I had covered in embossing powder, and heat set. Then while it was still warm, I rolled it in glitter and heat set it again. I cut out a nestie label and doodled around the patterned paper, and label before attaching everything together and onto a cardbase. The sentiment is from My Favourite Things and was stamped in black ink to finish off this card. 

This card fits the requirements of the May challenge - why not play along?

Scrapbooking with C.C designs

Hey hey! I wanted to share my newest scrapbooking page, and second DT post for the month over at The Stamp Spot.

There is quite a few things on this layout that are from The Stamp Spot. Lets get started... The 12x12 is Kraft cardstock, which I have layered with patterned papers from my stash, as well as Lace and Twine (from the store) the photos are matted on Romantic Mauve textured card, I have attached three little brads along the bottom which are from my stash. Next to the photos is a MFT Rolled Rose Die-namic, a flourish and paper flowers/doily from my stash. Hanging along the twine is a new pennant die from MFT (which is a bargain by the way)! I have created the title using thickers from my stash as well as die cut letters from By the Letters. I coloured this sweet C.C. Designs stamp  (Party Lucy) using watercolour markers and a blender pen, and attached her using foam dimensionals.

I wanted her to resemble my niece, who has the most beautiful Auburn coloured hair. 

Don't forget, that my blog candy will close Saturday next week....

Rachelle Anne Miller - Candy Time and I create a Just Because Card

Hi guys! Back again with another card I made up last night. I won a stamp from The Stamp Spot from last months challenge, and this was my first go at inking her up...

This is a Soft Suede card base, layered with White card stock and patterned paper from My Minds Eye. I have tied some pink ribbon and popped a bow on, as well as a sentiment from Hero Arts. I coloured Candy Time using my Stampin' Write Markers and Blender Pen. I then cut her out using my nestabilities (this is my favourite shape) and sponged around the edges. I added a rolled rose out of pink felt, and added some bling and buttons.

I am entering this into two challenges, the first is the sketch from Tuesday Morning Sketches and then the colour/swirls challenge from the Ribbon Carousel.

Thanks for popping by. Full supply list as follows...

Stampin' Up! Whimsical Words and I create a Thank You card

At this time of year, I find I need a lot of Thank You cards among my Christmas cards, so I sat down and made this one today

I used a More Mustard card base, then layered it up with some Whisper White. The main image panel is the Stampin' Up! Builder Wheel Polka Dots, which I unmounted it to make it easier to use, I cut out a border using Wild Wasabi card and mounted it behind the polka dots. I then cut out two circles, one in Whisper White, the other in Wisteria Wonder.  I stamped the sentiment, from retired set Whimsical Words in Wisteria Wonder (there are a lot of W's in this paragraph!) Then with some mustard felt, I cut out 2 rolled roses using a new addition to my Big Shot, which is a rolled rose die. I stuck them down on two Wild Wasabi leaves cut out using the 2-step bird punch. A little bit of twine finishes off this card. 

I took inspiration from a new challenge blog that is extremely popular so far, Runway Inspired Challenge, I have been inspired by the colours, the mustard, dark green, white and pop of purple (what is with those glasses?) I was also inspired by the actual catwalk, while I haven't used stripes, but instead I've used polka dots. I also used the sketch from Cardabilities , and finally, the Ribbon Carousel Challenge which was to use Twine.
