I enjoyed making this card using MFT sketch 188. 

P1050263

For all my panels and different elements on the card I used different dies from blueprints 3,11,15. Stamp is from MFT. The background I used Hero Arts leaf and flourish stencil with versamark ink and I embossed it with Recollections clear gold- sparkle embossing powder, loved how it looks all shiny. On the flag panel I added Large background diamonds in stripe fashion and then added the LGD strips under and over the sentiment and embossed that too. Love the flower all stickled up for shine, with the rose leaf die, the heart in the corner was cut from an embossed felt. I added some sequins.

Love how the inside came out.

I am also adding this to Loves rubber stamp- out of season card and Simon says stamp- make it sparkle(all the sparkle started with this challenge), A blog named Hero- Die a little and Word art Wednesday- anything goes.

so here is the actual card I had made for the challenge MFT 186. THis is a 5.5 x 5.5 card as I felt the word Happy needed it’s space.

P1050239

I love how this card looks, the stamps and die is awesome. I have also used MFT stencil the stripes and i used 3 MFT inks for it- bubblegum, blu raspberry and lemon drop. I distressed the edges with antique linen.  I also have dry embossed one panel. I had started with July color palette of MFT but then strayed as i added layers. The word happy was cut in three layers and then added a coat of glossy accents on the top. The rolled roses have stickles on the top. The swirl is from zva pearls.

Here is the inside

I used MFT sketch 181 for this birthday card. The card is for someone who likes purple, so I used pink and purple as my combo and love how it looks together.

P1050207

I started with a 4.25 x 5.5 card but later changed to 4×5.5. I used MFT blueprint 3 and 13 for my panels/ the first rectangle was cut and then stamped with Hero Arts friend stamp with spun sugar Distress INk(DI). I then cut a postage stamp die and added MFT-MPD delicate doily stencils with seedless preserves, to create the lighter shade dots I rubbed off some ink on scrap paper and then continued the stencilling. I did not follow the pattern of the stencil but moved it around to suit my paper. I cut the circle panel and embossed it with purple black embossing powder. The sentiment is from MFT birthday greetings. the border behind is from notched tag border in this sweet gingham paper I had in my stash. I cut a few rolled roses, colored them wiht seedless preserves and pickled raspberry DI, peeled paint and evergreen DI for the Rose leaves and Martha Stewart punched leaves. As a last touch I added stardust stickles. The card still looked incomplete so I added twine and sequins at the bottom. Perfect!

Here is a close up of the embossing and flowers. They look gorgeous IRL.

P1050205

here is the inside, I love the look of All the Movies sentiments.

I made this card for my mom for Mother’s day yesterday.

I wish all mom a Happy Mother’s Day throughout the year.

I love KittieKraft’s cards, so when I saw the oval in sketch MFT-175, I knew I was trying to do something similar to her style.

P1050124

 

I first sponged the background with squeezed lemonade distress ink and then added the two border on the side with MFT-cotton candy ink. The border is from Recollections(garage sale bargain).then I added as trip colored with both inks. I popped the oval cut from Blueprint- 3 and added the leafy flourish. I die cut the MFT trio flowers in different shades of pink and dry embossed them from the back. to make it fuller I added some punched leaves from Martha Stewart. I love how it adds to the look. Added some white and black pearls, a lace and butterfly form LJD blissful butterflies. The sentiment is MFT- from the T-shirt set.

here is a closeup of the flowers

P1050126

The inside has a beautiful sentiment and more of the sponged paper with a border.

My daughter’s student teacher was leaving and we got her some gifts, my daughter was thrilled when I asked if she wanted me to create a thank you set for her.

So here is the set, I had seen this technique on Pinterest and wanted to create it for some time, I used distress inks, sponges, some Technique Tuesday stamp, love the details it offers for little scenes and Inkadinkado stamps. All of them have little additions of liquid pearls and my fav- sequins. Some have wooden flowers, butterfly or sequins created into a heart.

P1050092

Here is each one seperate with the matching envelope. TO create each card I tore a piece of paper and stuck it with post it notes to create a space in between, used distress inks to sponge colors, some colors are different as they blended into each other. The I stamped a grid pattern from Verve on them with wild honey distress ink. Removed the paper and stamped with black versafine ink. Sentiments are from MFT.

Sweet Sunday Sketch and my first mini tutorial

I used the Sweet Sunday Sketch 182. I loved the sketch. I loved how the flowers came out so if you scroll down I have a mini tutorial on it. It is the first time I have done a tutorial so pardon all mistakes.

P1030564l Stamped the sentiment using MFT Black Licorice ink, this is a fabulous ink and this is the first time I used this sentiment. Love how it came out. I have distressed all edges. The flowers- happy Flowers and Ornate Butterflies are from Fred She Said. Butterflies are watercolroed with Distress ink and fussy cut. I have added pearls and brads, stickles for shine. I added two dienamics- flag stax(my fav die) and medium scallops. A lace just to break the color.

Here is the inside

P1030567I loved how the pink flower turned out so I thought I would do a quick mini tutorial on how I did them showing the purple ones. THis is picture heavy so just relax and enjoy. You can use this tutorial with most of the flowers at Fred She Said.

I first cut out all the flowers- these are the new Happy flowers from Fred She Said- as you can see I am not very exact in how I cut, don’t worry this will all get colored and scrunched and will not be too visible. I just printed the full sheet and so I did not have to worry about sizing each flower. As you can see for the purple I did not use the largest layer but did use it for the pink one.

P1030527You can use reinkers but since I don’t have that I dabbed some distress inks directly on my craft mat and sprayed them with pearlized water using my mister. I used Seedless preserves and milled lavender.

P1030528Wear gloves- I used disposable glove and dab each flower, back and front in the ink and scrunch them up.P1030529P1030530Dry them well. Open them up and layer them in two layers staggering each layer of the same size. On the smallest layer size add a half pearl.P1030532Join the entire flower and again scrunch it up. You can see in this picture one joint flower and one totally scrunched up.P1030536 Open it up with a paper piercer and then arrange it the way you wnat, remember it will dry that way. Then I added stickles, that is always my choice of glitter but you can use dazzling dust, fine glitter, Just drops of glossy accents and glass sprinkles. Whatever you  love that can shine.

Here is a close up when finished. The pink one was done with Pickled Raspberry Distress ink. the leaves were done the same way with mowed lawn distress ink.
