The Card Concept Challenge Time!

Hi all! It's time for a new challenge on The Card Concept Challenge Blog and it's a FESTIVE one! I layered silver foil behind the circle/die-namic cut layer. The tree was colored with Copic Markers. The sentiment is from the Snow Globe Sentiment set from MFT. I love the simple font! The card base is Grout Gray.

The Card Concept Challenge Time

Hi all!  Well, I'm not sure about the rest of you, but I am sure ready for Friday to get here...  Geez Louise, what a week already!  Question - what laptop do you prefer?  Seriously thinking it's time for a new one.  This Mac is slooooooowwwwwww.   Anyway - Happy Hump Day!  Back at it with our last challenge of this year (what in the WORLD?!) over on The Card Concept Blog.  I was inspired by the great color combo in the inspiration picture, as well as that pretty twine and the hand lettering on the packages.  I colored up one of those sweet MFT Bitty Bears with old Stampin' Up watercolor pencils on kraft paper.  The sentiment is also from that set.  And can I add how frustrating it is that it gets dark so early.  I had to work hard to get these pics (I only like taking pics in natural light), lol!

CAS-ual Fridays Inspiration Challenge Time!

Hi all!  OMG it's December!  GAH!  I sure hope y'all are more prepared for the holidays than I currently am, Geez Louise...  Lol, it'll be fine.  Everything is fine!  HA!  Well, it's time for a new CAS-ual Fridays Inspiration Challenge.  Bring on the winter blues!  I stamped lots of the images from Bring on the Snowflakes onto my Cornflower blue card base. A few are even embossed.  I stamped that big, beautiful sentiment from the Merry set in Nightshift Blue and die-cut it with a circle die.  The smaller snowflakes around the sentiment are from the Merry set, as well.  A few glittery gumdrops add a finishing touch.  This also fits the FMS315 sketch.

Thanks for stopping by!  Be sure to play along for your chance to win :D

We'd love for you to play along with us!

Happy Pawlidays

Hi all!  Here's a card I made using new goodies from MFT (couldn't resist those pups!) for the MFTWSC356.  I sponged the background with peach bellini and tickled pink inks, then used Copic markers to add some dots, then spritzed with water for even more dimension.  I masked the tree while doing all that sponging and spritzing :)  The Pup and sentiment are up on foam adhesive.

25 Days of Christmas Tags - Birch Press Design!

Hi all!  I'm happy to be participating in Tracy's 25 Days of Christmas Tags, this time featuring Birch Press Design stamps and dies!!!  

For my first tag, I used the Let It Snow stamp set and matching dies.  The 3 layered tree stamps were inked with two different green inks and stamped onto kraft card stock.  I then used some white pigment ink and an aqua brush to fill in some spots.  The sentiment and snowflakes are also from that set.

My second card features the Stewart Ornament die, which I cut out with green and silver foil paper.  I layered it onto a die cut circle that I had stamped 'merry' on from the Brushed Christmas Greetings stamp set in grout gray ink.

For my last tag, I watercolored some paper with red and green distress inks then used the Mini Poinsettia die.  I layered the poinsettias and added chunky silver glitter to the centers.  The sentiment is from the Let It Snow stamp set and is embossed with gold EP.  I embossed it twice so that it has a slight shadow effect.

Be sure to stop by Tracy's BLOG to see all of the tags featured today and to see how you can win a Birch Press Design gift certificate!

Lil Inker Designs New Release Hop - Day 1

Hi all!  Welcome to Day 1 of the Lil Inker Designs New Release Blog Hop!  

 This release is CRAZY good, so let's get to it!  First up is a card I made using one of the dies from the  Brush Script Christmas Word die set.  I cut out 'Believe' out of some paper I had watercolored then adhered a piece of glittered card stock behind it.  I added the car and tree from the Rustic Christmas stamp set because they're so cute, I just had to!  :)  I then cut them out with the matching dies.

Next up is a tag I made featuring the Moody Santa Stamp set and dies.  He is so stinkin' cute and I love that the set comes with different facial expressions for him!!!  And let's not forget how hilarious the sentiments are!  I stamped the background with the mittens from the Rustic Christmas stamp set for extra interest.  I colored him with my Zig pens on watercolor paper.

As always, be sure to hop and comment along the way for your chance to win a Gift Certificate to the LID store!!!  Next up is Lisa!!!

MFTWSC301 - Are you Yeti for Christmas?

Hi all!  Here is my take on the MFTWSC301 sketch using the most adorable Yeti stamp set by MFT.  I got the set and dies from Butterfly Reflections Ink - thanks to their SUPER fast shipping, I was able to play with this set today!  I created masks for the trees and Yeti's, then stamped everything in kraft hybrid ink.  I heat set it then colored everything with Copics. For the background, I masked off a snowy hill using an element from Blueprints 25, then used Blu Raspberry, Blueberry and Grape Jelly inks for sponging.  For the circle part of the sketch, I cut out some vellum using the Stitched Mini Scallop Circle STAX so it didn't take away from the scene I had created.  I then curved a sentiment to match the die also from Blueprints 25.
