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! :)

I'm playing along at the following challenges:

MFT Wednesday Sketch Challenge #352
Color Throwdown #462
CAS on Friday Challenge #117 - Dies

You Color My World!

Hi friends! Hope all is well. Today, I'm sharing a card featuring Lawn Fawn products. I always love to make colorful cards and fall colors are my all time favorite. It's so beautiful to see the nature shifts in color every day during fall. Let's move on to the card.

First, I thought of making a fall card but somehow, I end up making a different card :P I used the Lawn Fawn - Color my World stamps set for this card. I made a background by stamping the crayons and colored using distress inks.

Then, I cut it out using Lawn Fawn Large Stitched Rectangle die. Next, I cut out a smaller size stitched border frame using the same die set. I inked up the the edges with distress ink, Antique Linen. Finally, stamped the sentiment and added dimensional dots from EK Success - Rainbow Dots on the four corners of the small frame.

I'm entering this card in the following challenges:

Lawn Fawnatics Challenge 13 - Fall Inspiration Mood Board.
AAA Cards CAS Game #99 - Autumn Colors
Make My Monday Challenge #55 - Autumn Colors

Big, Huge Thanks!

Hi friends, I’m joining the MFT Stamps 2017 Card Design Superstar contest! Click here for more details.  Amazed and overwhelmed to see all the entries. So many talented crafters. I’m glad to be a part of this fabulous contest. I’m taking part in the Clean and Simple Genius category. I hope I did my best. 

I used the MFT Happy Hippo stamps set and MFT Little Lowercase Letters Dienamics for this card. I used the color palette from this week’s MFT Color Challenge #77. I was not sure if I could post my card for the color challenge this week as this contest is currently on going. So, I just used as my color inspiration for this card. (And also to keep me more focused on completing the card :P)

I stamped and colored the hippo using distress inks. This is my most favorite stamp from the stamp set. How happy he is! :) I used the MFT Wonky Stitched Rectangle die to create the border and adhered it to a sky blue cardstock. Next, I planned the alphabet die cutting. I did ink blending using two different colors of distress inks to give more depth to each letter. I used Broken China and Salty Ocean. Then, I die cut the Big, Huge Thanks sentiment. I die cut the sentiment again on a pink card stock and adhered to the coordinating letters to give little dimension to the letters. 

Finished off the card by adding some embellishment. I got this tiny flower confetti dot from a local craft store and I think it’s so perfect for this card. That’s all for the card. I hope you enjoyed it.
