My Favourite Things....MFTWSC483 and CTD587...Heartfelt Thanks!

Hello stampin' friends! I spent the weekend #stayinghome and getting crafty! I made these sweet cards with the MFT Birdie Brown Free Digital Download that they have available on the MFT blog. Theses Birdie Brown stamp sets and sentiments are SOOO sweet!!! I used the fabulous colour combo over at the Color Throwdown # 587 and used the MFT Wednesday Sketch Challenge # 483. 

Love this great sketch and used MFT Heavyweight Cardstock in Kraft, Bubblegum, Spearmint and Steel Grey 

I recently got a new printer and I wasn't sure if the ink would be compatible with my Copic markers so when I downloaded the free Birdie Brown digital images it was a chance to test it out. I had my fingers crossed!

I was pleasantly surprised that I didn't have any problems with the printer ink smudging or bleeding with my new HP Officejet 3830 printer. I printed this image on Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cover stock and coloured this sweet nurse from the the MFT Birdie Brown Call the Shots digital download and cut out a sentiment too. I stamped the tiny open heart from the Reverse Confetti Unicorn Wishes on the nurses' chart and coloured in the image with my Copics.

For this card I used the Rounded Banner STAX Die-namics for the arched panel that the sketch calls for and I created a window. I also used the two different nesting sizes in the STAX set to make a frame from Kraft Heavyweight Card stock. I stamped a background with the Make Your Mark Background Stamp with Worn Lipstick Distress Oxide Ink on Smooth White Cardstock.  I embellished with some twine and sparkly YNS gumdrops.  

I finished the inside of the card too. I simply used the positive die from the Rounded Banner STAX Die-namics and made a tag. I layered another sentiment too. 

I made a second card with the same layout with the Birdie Brown Super Hero in Scrubs Digital Download. I fussy cut the images out and popped him up on the Rounded Banner STAX Die-namics window. I used the Make Your Mark Background stamp again (love it) with Cracked Pistachio Distress Oxide Ink.

I embellished with some hemp cord and a sprinkling of YNS pink gumdrops. I stamped a heart on his chart too.

And I finished the inside of the card too. I simply used the positive die from the Rounded Banner STAX Die-namics and made a tag. I layered another sentiment too. 
Thanks SO much for stopping by and having a little look at my cards for the MFTWSC438 and the Color Throwdown # 587 with the MFT Free Birdie Brown Digital Downloads that are on the MFT Blog.

I used MFT Banana Split, Spearmint, Grout Grey and Kraft Heavyweight Cardstock and Reverse Confetti Iced Aqua and Cloud Heavyweight Cardstock. 

I stamped two little lambs "marching" in Spring from the Blessings of Peace Stamp set and coloured them up with my Copics. I cut the image out with the rounded rectangle die from Blueprints 14, left the image in the die and inked with Tumbled Glass and Shabby Shutters Distress Ink. I turned to my Prismacolor Pencils to colour in the ground and grass to anchor the images of the sweet little lambs. I stamped the MFT Gingham Background stamp with Memories Waterfall Blue Pigment Ink on Grout Grey Heavyweight Cardstock.

I stamped a sentiment from the Blessings of Peace Stamp Set on Cloud White Heavyweight Cardstock cut with the tag die from Blueprints 2 and tied the tag with some hemp cord. I made some spring flowers with Blueprints 12 and embellished with some white sparkly Gumdrops.   I finished up the inside of my card too...I stamped a shadow image of the little lamb in Grout Grey Premium Dye Ink. The sentiment is from the Hoppy Friends Stamp set (tomorrow you will see the peeks for the Hoppy Friends Stamp set).

Reminder - Curtain Call Challenge Feb. 15 - Woven & RC SFYTT # 45 - Hey Friend...

Hey Stampin' friends! I'm just popping with a reminder about the FUN challenge over at the Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge Feb. 15 - Woven there is still time to join us! I'm also entering my card in the Reverse Confetti Sketch For You To Try # 45. I've paired up the super cute Reverse Confetti Cured Stamp Set with A Friend Like You Stamp set.  

I was inspired by the colour palette in the inspirational photo....I used Reverse Confetti Cloud White,  Iced Aqua Cardstock and Iced Aqua Premium Dye Ink. I also used MFT Smooth White, Electric Red, Kraft and Cotton Candy Heavyweight Cardstock   

I flipped the SFYTT # 45 sketch to fit my landscape card

So, have you ever jumped on a "craft-y bandwagon"? Have you been sucked into getting the "latest and greatest" new craft gadget? We have all been there, done that and have the stash to prove it.  Well, I confess, I just had to have the Chameleon Pens when they first came out...I used them once and threw in the towel. The learning curve seemed too steep for me but I know that practice makes perfect so I've vowed to pick them back up and give it another go. Hopefully my colouring will improve over time. I've used my Chameleon Pens to colour the Reverse Confetti Cured pigs and accessory stamps.    

I stamped the MFT Crosshatch background Stamp on Reverse Confetti Cloud White Cardstock with Iced Aqua Premium Dye ink and cut the All Framed Up Confetti Cuts from RC Iced Aqua Cardstock and popped it up with foam adhesive. I made the rectangle panel with the All Framed Up Confetti Cuts too.    
I used the MFT Layered Treat Tag Die-namics for the sentiment panel and stamped the sentiment from the A Friend Like You Stamp set on the Cloud White Cardstock with VersaFine Onyx Black Ink. Finally, I embellished with some sparkly gold Gumdrops and tied a Hemp cord bow.   
I finished off the inside of my card....I created the sentiment by combing a sentiment stamp from the Reverse Confetti Tie-rific Stamp set and the With Love Stamp set. Thanks SO much for stopping by and having a wee peek at my card for the Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge - Feb. 15 Woven and the Reverse Confetti SFYTT # 45 Challenge.
