My Favorite Things- Guest Designer- Day 3


This post is bittersweet for me, I'm so sad my time as Guest Designer is up here at MFT Stamps. I just want to say a huge thank you to MFT for having me these past couple weeks, I've had an absolute blast.  I have saved the best for last, at least I think. Anyone who knows me, knows my obsession with owls, even my blog is done in all owls. I couldn't decide on just one owl for this card, so I decided to use them all and create my own owl background. I colored them in all pastel colors using Copic Markers. I wanted my sentiment to stand out so I popped it on top of a pastel heart layer using the, Stitched Heart Grid. I normally don't keep cards for myself but I think this one will be added to my craftroom shelf.

I'm Owl Yours

Products Used: 

Guess Who's Missing You? Me 


Products Used:

For this card I mixed and match the I'm Owl Yours & the branch from the Harvest Buddies stamp set to create my little scene. I decided to do a little no line coloring to give my images a softer look. I popped images up on card base that I turned into a shaker card. I used some pink chalk to create the clouds. You could easily switch up the sentiment on this card and turn it into a Valentines day card. 

Hope you've all enjoyed my creations these past 2 weeks.
Thank you all for stopping by and taking a look at me creations.

My Favorite Things- Guest Designer- Day 2

Hello Everybody, Happy Thursday! I'm so excited to be back for day two of my guest spot for My Favorite Things. I have two new creations to share with you today, so let's get started.

You've Got Mail


I think my favorite thing about stamp sets like this is how it allows you to be able to create your own scene. I love being able to get my Copic Markers out and just go to town on coloring. I love making my own backgrounds for images so I thought this sweet little gal needed a blue sky backdrop. Once my sky was completed, I adding in some grass using different shades of green. I used the Coordinating You've Got Mail Die-namics to cut out my image. I then colored and adhered to my card-base.

Products used: 

I'd Crumble Without You


I wanted to stay CAS with this card... Well my version of CAS anyways. I started by masking off my card-base and doing some ink blending using Summer Splash & LimeLight Premium Die inks. I colored my image using Copic Markers and adhered to card base using 3D foam tape. I heat embossed my sentiment using white embossing powder  and finished card off by adding some enamel dots. 


Products Used: 
Summer Splash & LimeLight Premium Die Ink

I hope you all enjoyed today's cards. Be sure to stop back tomorrow to see my final guest post for MFT Stamps.. trust me you wont want to miss out on the cuteness, it's a HOOT ;)

With Love & Care

Happy Wednesday Everyone! It's posting day for me over at The Greeting Farm Blog. I've been busy crafting with the stamps from the January release, so for today's card I will be showcasing one of the new sets.
For my card I used the newly released, Get Well Soon Stamp Set.

To create this look...
I stamped the Doctor image first and then stamped him again onto some masking paper. I then proceeded to stamp my two nurses. I colored using Copic Markers and finished card by using some fun pattern papers & enamel dots.
This card would be perfect to give to  anyone who's been ill or struggling as well as to a Nurse or Doctor to say thank you.

I hope you all enjoyed!

My Favorite Things Guest Designer- Day 1

Hello everyone, I am super excited for today's post. It's all in the title...I am currently Guest Designing over at My Favorite Things.
I will be sharing a couple creations starting with my 1st today and then again on the 25th and 26th. 
So lets get started, shall we!? 

I just adore the Kitschy Kitchen stamp set, I just love how versatile it is. This set is chalked full of many amazing different images. I decided to use multiple different images from this set and go with the Monochromatic look. There are so many stamps in this stamp set, which make it perfect for making your own background paper. To add a little extra pop to my card I just used the Kitschy Kitchen Die-namics to cut out the pitcher and pop up adding some embroidery floss behind it. 


Products used can be found over in the MFT shop.

I'd love if you'd all swing by the MFT blog to show some love :) Also, be sure to stop back next week to see my other projects as guest designer.

SugarPea Designs- More Than Puppy Love

Hello and Happy Tuesday! Just want to share a quick card with you all that I have posted over at the SugarPea Design Blog today.
Now that Christmas and New Years is over we can start focusing on the next holiday, Valentines Day. I have a fun and simple card to share with you all using one of my favorite SugarPea Stamp Sets.


I masked off a circle on my white card base and did a little bit of ink blending using three different colors of ink from lightest to darkest.
Peach Bellini, Persimmon & Poppy
4th color used for darkest hearts- Chili Powder
I then stamped my images using some Tuxedo Black ink.
I decided I wanted to only color the collars and hair-bow on my images because I think it makes the images pop more and I like the contrast between all the colors.

Products Used:

Store-Hot-Diggity-Dog
