I had a request for a card for a 80 year old aunt. I truly enjoyed making it. I used the Sketch and stash sketch.

I used MFT stamps and dienamics-the tag, the cameo, the tab, vintage flourish, medium and small roses and the photot corner. I embossed the tag and colored it with shaded lilac distress ink. I added dried marigold to the border. I also embossed the peach panel and added distress marigold to it. I distressed the edges of the big panel and added distress ink to it. i also added shaded lilac to the roses. The papers I used are Miss Carolina Howdy Dowdy I believe. I am sad to see this pad come down to only a couple of pages, this one I loved it all. Ribbon is from my stash, I added brads and liquid pearls. Button has a hemp cord through it from MFT

here is the inside. I added different sentiments again all from MFT. Doodled a little by hand with a copic multiliner over one of the sentiments.

I am entering it in a few challenges

I used the sketch from Verve March-week 1. It had cool layers.

I did the Tulip background with Spellbinders Impressabilities and distress inks. It was something different for me but I loved the look of it when done. I adhered a white paper and the impressabilites with small tape on the side. this helped it stay in place. I started with aged mahagony distress ink and the distress foam tool. I inked it all the way. after which i inked it with broken china, it looks almost purple in some spots, and then with wild honey. I removed the tulip impressabilites and this is what was left. I cut it according to the sketch and distressed the edges with antique linen. Tulips always make me think happy thoughts and that spring is here.

I added some icy stickles to the frame, the inside has been stamped with aged mahagony. love that pattern. Added a ribbon and some twine to give it more dimension. Flowers have the white brad in between.

The inside is simple

Supplies: Papers: Miss Carolina- Howdy Doody, PTI cardstock.

Stamps– Verve-Making a statement, MFT-paper doll

I used the sketch from Some ODD GIRL It was real fun.

I used Summery Mae digital stamp. I colored her with Prisma color pencils. ( skin is mineral orange, rosy beige, light umber, burnt ochre and terra cotta, hair is Chocolate, light umber and peach beige) She is so pretty, adore her. I paper pieced her outfit. This was the first time I have paper pieced a digital image. After cutting out all the pieces I distressed them before adhering it to the image. I added distress markers to add some shading.

I stamped the sentiment before adhering the panel to the card. Added the rose, flourish and some butterflies. Love the brad in between the rose, A scallop on the side finished the card.

I used twine to give her some ground.

The inside is simple

Supplies: Papers: Miss Carolina- Howdy Doody, PTI cardstock. Scraps.

I am super excited, this is the first time, I am taking part in MFT guest Designer.

I made this handbag book for MFT Guest Designer contest. When I first heard about the title, Hit the Books, the first thought was Pearls of Wisdom, My dad always says Books give you Wisdom. So I went with that theme. Luckily my son and my daughter have my love of reading.

Now knowing that is what I wanted to do, I went to my local store for what book I could make. I found this gorgeous handbag book by Maya Road. I could not resist it. I not only used sayings from Pearls of Wisdom, but I looked at all my sets and saw which one are nuggets of wisdom, and used them accordingly. Originally I wanted to make 14 pages, but this book could hold only 8 because of all the dimensions I added. I truly enjoyed making it, I concentrated on sayings and what I love about MFT–yes, their DIE-NAMICS.

I have used Finishing Flourishes Stamp throughout the pages, I can’t seem to put that one down. All papers used are Miss Carolina- Howdy Doody and Dolled up, unless stated otherwise. All sentiments were stamped with Momento Black Ink and embossed. Most of the colored papers used are PTI cardstock.

This is the front.

I used the Rosette and the Fringed Perennial flower for it’s front, you will see pearls throughout the book

Now let’s explore all the pages inside. Each page is an MFT layout, since I started card making and luckily joined MFT in May, I have missed a few, and am always finding a reason to play catch up. I have taken some liberties with some sketches.

Page 1: Accomplish Your Dreams

MFT layout # 30. This saying is from a VIP Set-Jump for Joy. The dies used are Rolled Rose-Medium, Vintage Flourish, Dizzy Doily Duo, medium Scallops, You Move me -rocket and plane, I hope everyone’s dreams rocket sky up. Also used fired brick Distress ink, pearls, ribbon and stampin up markers.

Page 2: Be Happy.

MFT layout # 27. This saying is from Pearls of Wisdom. The dies used are Flower Trio, Butterfly from Notched Tag, Double Scallop Border, Layered Label Die. Dotted Butterfly is from Tag You’re IT stamp set. Also used fired brick Distress ink, Momento Bamboo ink, pearl brad and ribbon.

Page 3: Loved ones are for keeps.

MFT layout # 7. This saying is from Clearly Sentimental about Romance. I cut a sticky back canvas with the Mix and Match Banner, Thank You Joanne and showing how to make them the size I would need. I stamped the flourishes on it directly. Then I stamped the saying on a tissue paper, cut it slightly bigger to the size needed and adhered it to the canvas with Multi Medium Matte both on the canvas and over the tissue, zapped it with a heat gun, you can let it dry itself. I learnt this from Jennifer Mcguire. Love this look. For the flower, after I die cut it I used Aged Mahogany to stamp the flower with Hero Arts background flower stamp and then rolled it.The dies used are Rolled Daisy, Button Quartet, Skyline, isn’t it the best. Popped some windows and not all. Also used MFT – blossom Twine, Aged Mahogany distress ink, Claudine Hellmuth Studio Multi-medium Matte, Zva pearls and lace.

Page 4: Be Humble and Enjoy Life.

The dies used are Rolled Scallop Flower, Rolled flower, Leafy Flourish, Crown, You Move Me and peeking behind is Vintage Cameo Frame. Also used Momento Rose ink Zva pearls and ribbon.
