Friends Brighten Your Day

I made this card to send to a friend with MFT'S Rain or Shine, which I have to say is one of my first MFT stamp and one of my very favorites. I stamped the umbrella in the set, cut it out, and used it to make a pattern for my umbrella. Then cut the umbrella out of the checked paper and used dimensionals to pop it up. I used my glitter pen on the rain drops and the added some glitter around the water. I used four different patterns from the Making Memories Chloe's Closet paper pad.

This is the inside of my card. I have been trying to do a little more with the inside of my card while I have everything out, use up the scraps! I think it is a nice touch.

Thanks for looking.

Birthday Gift Card Holder

It a rainy day in San Diego and I had a chance to do a couple of posts!

The first is my Gift Card holder for the MFT February Guest Designer Challenge. It is a color challenge, to use any combination of black, pink, gray, white, and brown. I got all the colors in if you count the brown paper bag I pieced into the shopping bags. The card is a Folder Over Flap card that was designed by Carolyn King. You can see a tutorial on her blog.

I stamped the MFT image from Say Charge! and pieced some of the shopping bags an added a couple of small rhinestones. The circle is cut out with Nestibilities. I add a Basic Grey magnet to hold the card closed. I also added a brad and threaded the ribbon through it and tied a bow. Here is a picture of the inside of the card.

A Birthday Bella

Here's a little Bella birthday card I made using Taylor's sketch challenge. the is another one of my favorite Bella Stamps, Matilda Muffinbread. I wanted to give her skirt a varigrated look by pulling the Copic colors into each other. The paper and the matching buttons are Making Memories. I used my sewing machine, glitter to the wings, a little glitter pen to the skirt, and distressing stickles on the cupcake frosting to add detail. I also added a little lace I picked up at the fabric store.

Thanks for Looking,

Valentine Wish

I created this card for today's sketch challenge on Splitcoast. I don't have enough time to do all the challenges, but I like to do the sketch when I can. I wanted to make one more card with this cute little Whiff of Joy stamp. This is my first attempt at blonde hair. I have four daughters and we all have dark hair so I seem to go for the browns. But this Valentine is for someone with blonde hair, so I wanted to give a try.

I added some red rhinestone hearts, used my glitter pen, and charm to add some bling. I picked up the ribbon at Michaels, the the border punch is Martha Stewart.

Thanks for stopping by!

There's Cupcake on my Head!

Thought I would post a couple of cards before I go back to work. I justed finished cleaning up from the SuperBowl party. I had 20 people over and my daughter drove home from the University of Arizona with four of her girlfriends. A nice surprise!

I used Taylor's weekend sketch for this card. I love this little stamp from Stamping Bella. She is colored with my Copics and there is pink glitter on the cupcake. I used my nestibilities and inked the edges of the green and added white dots with my Inkssentials gel pen. The brads are SU, and I made one of the into a charm.

There's Cupcake on my Head!

Subject: Happy Valentine's Day

I don't have much time during the week to stamp, but I do try to do the weekly MFT sketch challenge each week. My Favorite Things stamps are one of my favorites and I love the Who's That E-Girl set, so versitale, and can be used for many age groups. This will be my valentine card for my second daugther is away at college. The DP is a K&Company paper pad I picked up at Michaels. Most of the image is pieced. I drew in the floor and colored with Copic makers. Then I went over the floor with the colorless blender pen.

The sentiment is computer generated. The heart in the corner is chipboard that I colored and glittered. I also used a little glitter pen on the laptop. I used my cuttlebut swirl folder on the background.

Thanks for Looking!
