Happy Birthday - Get Your Fiction On

Hi There! I had a little time to craft last night and I made this CAS birthday card inspired by the current Your Next Stamp - Sketch and Color Challenge #84. I absolutely LOVE the color palette and used three colors for this card. I also played along with the sketch over at Freshly Made Sketches #328 challenge which is perfect for a CAS design.

I used the nerdy bookworm from YNS - Get Your Fiction On stamp set as the focal point of the card. I stamped and colored the image with Copic Markers. I added some details with white gel pen and glossy accent on his glasses. I used Simon Says Stamp Lemon Zest to ink up the background. Next, I stamped the birthday sentiment from the same stamps set and white heat embossed it. To finish off the card, I added some sequins. A quick card for today! I hope you like it.

It's time to party! - Birthday card

Hi There! I’m playing along with the MFT Color Challenge #88 and MFT Wednesday Sketch Challenge #374 today. I kept away all my dies and made this simple one layer birthday card featuring adorable bears from MFT BB Bitty Bears. This particular set is one of my most favorite and I really enjoyed playing with them. I did a simple masking technique for my card! So, here is my take!

First, I drew a frame on the base card and lined the bear stamps. I picked all the birthday themed bears to add extra fun to the card. Using my MISTI tool, I stamped and colored the bears with Copic Markers. Next, I inked up the background with Salty Ocean distress ink. I combined two sentiments from the Bitty Bears set and stamped directly on the base card. That’s all for today!

You Have My Heart

Hi There! Today, I'm sharing a little action card featuring a lovely bear from MFT BB Bitty Bears stamp set. I made this card inspired by this week’s MFT Color Challenge #87. It's one of my favorite color combo. Here is my take!

First, I stamped and colored the bear with distress ink and cut it out using the coordinating die. To create the frame, I used the MFT Stitched Rectangle Scallop Frame die and inked it with Picked Raspberry distress ink. For the background, I gently inked the Staggered Heart stencil with Spun Sugar distress ink. Next, I create an ombre on a white card using Hickory Smoke and Black Soot distress ink. Then, I placed the letter dies from MFT Little Letter die set and cut out the letters. I die cut the letters again on a black card stock and adhered the ombre letters onto these black letters to give a little shadow and dimension.

Next, I stamped on the sentiment from the same stamp set and heat embossed it with clear embossing powder. I finished off the card by adding a little action wobbler on the back of the bear and placed it along with the letters to form the word 'LOVE'. That's all for this card! Hope you like it.

Ruff Days Are Easier With Friends

Hi There! I’m sharing this card which I made for this week’s My Favorite Things Sketch challenge featuring cute puppies :) I used the color palette from this week’s Color Throwdown challenge. I just love the colors. Yes! Fall colors! Love the combo of Rust, Orange, Green and Aqua.

To begin with, I stamped the puppies from MFT Playful Pups stamps set and colored them using distress ink. I cut them out using coordinating dies. Next, I cut out a base card using MFT Wonky Stitched Border die to create a scene. I inked the background with distress inks and adhered the colored images. Then, I stamped on the sentiment from the same stamps set.

Once I’m done with the scene, I cut out a round frame using Sizzix Circle dies and stamped another sentiment from the MFT Happy Hippo stamps set. I thought it would add more fun to the card by pairing the sentiments from two stamps set. I enjoyed making this card! It's so true. Rough days are easier with friends! :)
