My Favourite Things Stamps...MFTWSC617...A La Mode - Polished to Perfection!

Hello Stampin' friends! Made a card today for the My Favorite Things Stamps Sketch Challenge - MFTWSC617! My daughter asked me to make a thank you card for her nail/artist. This A La Mode Polished to Perfection girl was perfect. 

I used MFT Heavyweight Cardstock in Cotton Candy, Sour Apple, and Sno Cone and teamed it up with this BasicGrey Fresh Cuts patterned paper that I have had in my stash forever!

I coloured the Polished to Perfect girl with my Copics, paper pieced her outfit adhered her to the Stitched Circles cut with the STAX Stitched Circles and STAX Circles 1 and STAX Circles 2. I also cut a flower from Perfect Petals Trio Die-namics. I stamped a sentiment from the Polished to Perfection Stamp set and cut it out of Solar White Cardstock with the Stitched Sentiment Strips Die-namics. 

I finished off the inside of my card and stamped a shadow image of the Polished to Perfection girl and stamped a sentiment from the A La Mode Blue without You Stamp set with 

MFT Hybrid Ink in Steel Grey. 

Thanks SO much for stopping by and having a little look at my card for the

My Favorite Things...MFTWSC368 & CTD476 - Thanks Snow Much

Hello stampin' friends! I can't believe this is the my first post of 2018...one of my new year's resolutions was to do a little more stamping, card-making and blogging, than I did last year. I'm going to have to step it up! Well, I'm glad I carved out a little crafty time today to play with this NEW Pure Innocence Stamp set Blowing Kisses. I love this little girl and really enjoyed making a PI card again...missed her.

I made my card with the fun sketch, MFTWSC368, that they have on MFT Challenge blog. I flipped the sketch to better accommodate by image.  

I also used the pretty color combo from the Color Throwdown 476 and was inspired by the inspirational photo to make a "snowy" card.

I used MFT Heavyweight Cardstock in Chocolate Brown, Natural and Reverse Confetti Heavyweight Cardstock in Mist and Cloud White

I colored up the sweet NEW Pure Innocence girl, Blowing Kisses, with my Copics and paper pieced her dress with patterned paper. I thought instead of blowing kisses she could be blowing some snowflakes....perfect for my snowflake themed card. I used some chunky glass glitter adhered to the palms of her hands. I don't have the MFT Stitched Mod Rectangle STAX so I swapped it out for the MFT Stitched Rounded Rectangle STAX Die-namics. I made a frame with the set and layered it over the pretty snowflake patterned paper from the Simple Stories Winter Wonderland 6X6 paper pad.     

I stamped a sentiment from the retired MFT Pure Innocence stamp set, Thanks Snow Much, from my stash and heat embossed it with AC Zing White Embossing powder and layered the sentiment strip over the circle element cut with the Stitched Circle STAX Die-namics and the Circle STAX Die-namics. Surprisingly, I kept this card rather clean and simple...I wasn't trying, it just kind of happened but I did add a few YNS white sparkly Gumdrops.   I finished off the inside of my card too...I stamped a shadow image with MFT Chocolate Brown Premium Dye Ink and I added another white embossed sentiment from the Pure Innocence Stamp set Warm Wishes. Thanks SO much for stopping by and having a little look at my Pure Innocence Blowing Kisses Card for the MFTWSC268 and the Color Throwdown # 476.  

My Favorite Things - MFTWSC360 & Color Challenge 82...Warmest Wishes

Hello stampin' friends! I'm quickly stopping by with a card for the My Favorite Things Stamps Wednesday Stamp Club Sketch challenge # 360 and the MFT Color Challenge # 82. I used the Winter Warmth Stamp Set and coordinating Winter Warmth Die-namics to make a non-traditional Christmas card.

I used MFT Heavyweight Card Stock in Smooth White, Kraft, Natural, Banana Split and MFT Blu Raspberry and Banana Split Premium Dye Ink and Sweet Tooth Pigment Ink. I also used Stephanie Barnard Premium Dye Ink in Cornflower.

I made a 5X5 square card and used Blueprints 14. I flipped the sketch around so I could put the sentiment at the top of the card. 

I used the rounded corner panel from the Blueprints 14 cut from Natural Heavyweight Card Stock and stencilled with Blu Raspberry Premium Dye Ink with the Reverse Confetti Pointed Out Stencil. I cut two mitred corner strips from yellow sparkly card stock and then clustered the various stamped images from Winter Warmth Stamp set along the strips.    I stamped a white embossed sentiment from the Hug in a Mug Stamp Set on Neutral Heavyweight Card Stock cut with the fishtail flag from Blueprints 12. I tied the sentiment panel with coral hemp twine and embellished with coral enamel dots. I flicked on some little white splatters with watered-down Sweet Tooth Pigment ink.   And I finished off the inside of my card too...I added another white embossed sentiment from the Hug in a Mug Stamp set popped it up on the Layered Treat Tag Die-namics and I added a few more stamped images from the Winter Warmth Stamp set.  Thanks SO much for stopping by and havin' a wee peek at my card for the MFT Sketch Challenge #360 and MFT Color Challenge #82. 

Curtain Call Challenge - August 15 - Hibiscus & MFTWSC345...May Your Day be Filled with Sunshine

Aloha stampin' friends! I'm SO glad that I was able to play along with the August 15 Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge - Hibiscus. It's been a busy month but I finally found the time and crafty mojo to make this Pure Innocence Hula girl card! We've been to Disney on vacation for 2 weeks to celebrate Hannah's 18th birthday and graduation from High School, then when we returned she had her wisdom teeth out, now, we are in full-swing packing/shopping mode for Hannah's big move to Ottawa, where she will be attending University. I hope you can find some crafty time and join us for the August 15 - Curtain Call Challenge - Hibiscus.

When I saw this beautiful tropical inspirational photo for this challenge I decided to pull out my MFT Hibiscus Die-namics and my MFT Pure Innocence Hula Girl Stamp set!  

I made my card with MFT Heavyweight Cardstock in Whip Cream, Sno Cone, Bubbelgum, Pink Lemonade, Razzle Berry, Gumdrop Green and Spearmint

I made this following the fab MFTWSC345 sketch that they have over at the MFT Card Challenges blog! 

The main panel is water coloured paper that I made using the "Smooshing technique" with Evergreen Bough Distress ink and then cut it out with the stitched panel Die-namics from Blueprints 13, the Pink Lemonade strip is cut with the Vertical Stitched Strips Die-namics. I stamped and coloured up this sweet MFT Pure Innocence Hula girl with my Copics, cut her out and popped her up on the Razzle Berry lacey scallop circle frame cut with my Reverse Confetti Lacey Scallop Circle and cut out the centre with my MFT Circle STAX Die-namics.  I cut the Hibiscus flower and leaves from MFT Heavyweight Cardstock in Razzle Berry, Bubblegum, Pink Lemonade, Spearmint, Gumdrop Green. I Inked the flowers with Abandoned Coral and the leaves with Mowed Lawn Distress Ink. I stamped the sentiment from the MFT CS-Blue Skies Ahead Sentiment Set on Whip Cream Heavyweight cardstock cut with the Reverse Confetti Tall Tag Trio Confetti Cuts with Jet Black Archival Ink.   I finished off the inside of my card too....I stamped a shadow image of the PI Hula girl, added another inked Hibiscus and a sentiment from the Reverse Confetti Lots to Say Sentiment Stamp set.  Thank SO much for stopping by and havin' a little look at my card for the Curtain Call Challenge August 15 - Hibiscus! I hope you can join this FUN challenge!

My Favorite Things Stamps...CTD # 377 and MFTWSC # 265...Thanks Snow Much!

Hey stampin' friends! Just popping by to share a card that I made for the Colour Throwdown # 377 and the MFT Sketch # 265!

I used MFT Heavyweight Cardstock in Kraft, Steel Grey, Grout Grey and Black Licorice   I haven't had a chance to colour up this super cute Pure Innocence Dashing By girl and thought she would be perfect for this card! I pulled out my Peerless Watercolours to make the water coloured background on the Distress Water Color paper. I used the Horizontal and Vertical Stitched Strips Die-nmaics.   
I also inked up the Winter Waves Background Stamp and stamped and embossed a sentiment from the Pure Innocence Thanks Snow Much Stamp set in Black Licorice Cardstock cut with the Fishtail Flags STAX Die-namics. I embellished with Hemp cord and a smattering of Gold sparkly Gumdrops.   I finished off the inside of my card too....I stamped the Pure Innocence Warm Winter girl and coloured her with my Copics and fussy cut her out. I tucked her in behind the sentiment panel with the Layered Labels Die-namics and stamped and embossed another sentiment from the Pure Innocence Thanks Snow Much Stamp set. I cut a few hearts with the Staggered Heart Border Die-namics.  Thanks SO much for stopping by and havin' a little look at my card for the Colour Throwdown # 377 and the MFTWSC # 265.
