MFTWSC150 - Blue and Grey Happy Holidays

Hi all!  Here's a card I made for the MFTWSC150 challenge.  I used a few new MFT goodies - DG You're the Coolest, the scallop from Blueprints 9 die-namics, and the woodgrain background stamp!  I used my copics again on this DG, fussy cut her then popped her up on pop dots.  I used one of the mini doily circles which is behind a pierced circle also stamped with the woodgrain stamp.  The sentiment (cut out withe my fishtail flag STAX) is from the Cheerful Christmas Greetings stamp set - I just love the font!  I kept the grey horizontal strip plain to give your eyes a rest from all of the busy patterns.  A little white and grey twine add the finishing details.  The color combo is the CC452 over on SplitCoastStampers.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

MFTWSC149 - Friends like you...

Hi all!  Here's my card for this week's MFTWSC149 sketch.  I colored this cutie PI, Happy Christmas, with copics, then fussy cut her.  The snow drift was created using the tree lines die-namics ( a little picture tutorial below... ).  I used the peek-a-boo dots die-namics on the sno cone cardstock, which I layered over sweet tooth cardstock that I brushed with glitter glaze (which served as the adhesive for the sno cone cs, as well!).  If you look closely, you can see the sparkle from the glaze.  The razzle berry dots were stamped using the large scale backgrounds. I added a sweet tooth felt heart, blu raspberry button with some twine for extra detail.  

First, I cut the tree lines in sweet tooth...

Second, I cut off the white trees...

Third, I cut some jellybean green trees and adhered them to the back of the sweet tooth cs...

Then I cut some sour apple trees and adhered them slightly off-center of a couple of the jellybean trees for a shadow affect.  Voila!

Your Next Stamp Fun Friday Challenge and SACC - Joy to the World

Hi all!  Happy Friday!  Is the time flying by or is it just me?!  Crazy that Thanksgiving is just WEEKS away!  GAH!  Alrighty, here's my card for this week's YNS Fun Friday challenge and also for the Sister Act Card Challenge.  I used the NEWLY release digi, Gretchen with bird on my card - love her! I colored her with copics and also used them to added a dotted background around her, then used an SU marker for her freckles.  The plaid pattern on the sno cone strip is from the More Washi Patterns stamp set from MFT.  The sketch is the current YNSFF sketch challenge - play along for a chance to win!  The sentiment is from MFT.  My 'snowflake' is actually a flower die-namic from MFT.  I spritzed it with shimmer mist but it's not noticeable in the pics.  I added a scalloped die-namic, some twine and a button to finish it up.

Deck the Halls - MFTWSC148

Hi all!  I wanted to share this card I made for this week's MFTWSC148.  I used the super fun Ornament Banner Builder and matching die-namics!  The sentiment is also from this set and I cut it out with one of the elements from the Blueprints 3.  The little leaves are from the Christmas Ornaments die-namics and I added a "brad" berry.  I used electric red, blu raspberry, and razzle berry inks for a fresh color combo.  A little paper piercing and voila!  Oh, and this card measures 4 1/4 x 4 1/4.

FTTC244 - Plaid Joy

Hi all!  It's Tuesday and time for another Flourishes Timeless Tuesday challenge.  This week it's all about the ever classic plaid or houndstooth patterns:

For my card, I've used the newly released Handmade Snowflakes by Flourishes.  Such a classic set, love it!  The snowflake is stamped in sno cone, then I stamped one of the sentiments from the set in black licorice over it.  I created my plaid using the plaid builder stamp set and the same sno cone and black licorice inks.  I like that the pattern is slightly off - that's my story and I'm sticking to it!  ha!  I used the stamping off technique for parts of the pattern to create a more dimensional look.  The little plaid fishtail flag is from the washi patterns set by MFT.  A few enamel dots add the finishing touch.  I've also made this for the SACC challenge this week.  Play along with us at Flourishes and SACC for a chance to win ;)
