Merry and Bright {MFT}...


I am so ready for Christmas.  I love Thanksgving but my favorite thing to do is combine the 2.  I am one of THOSE people....my tree is up.  I love having it up and I feel like if we go to all that work we might as well enjoy it.  :)   Are you ready?

I wanted to get another Christmas card done today so again, I went with the rainbow theme....


MFT

To create this card, I stamped the Christmas Background in a light gray ink.  Next, I stamped the striped image from Distressed Patterns along the back in rainbow colors.  I grabbed one of the new snowmen from Frosty Friends and colored him up with some rainbow lights.  I stamped the Merry and Bright sentiment from Hand Lettered Christmas in black ink and then popped the snowman up right next to it. 

MFT

This snowman set is so much fun!  I love how easy they are to color.  

Hope you are having a great week and a happy thanksgiving!  Thanks for stopping by!

MFT Birthday Project....

Hi friends!  A new challenge has been issued over on the MFT Challenge Blog.  It's all about animals...

The party animals in your life will appreciate you including animals of the truly wild variety for this month’s challenge. Lions and tigers, zebras and giraffes, hippos and elephants…you’re sure to discover the perfect animal addition for your next birthday look. Go wild!

I knew exactly which animal I need to use when it came to this birthday card.  This little hippo from Happy Hippos is one of my favorite images and here it is on this clean and simple card....

MFT Birthday Project

I love white on white when it comes to cards and I wanted this little hippo to pop from the card.  I die  cut the Happy Birthday Script die in white and attached it to the card base.  I love how it gives the card an embossed look.  Next, I colored up the little hippo and popped it up on foam tape.  It has the cutest little wave for the recipient of this card....

MFT and Friends...

It's MFT Release day!  We are here with a new round MFT and Friends so I know there will be lots of fun stuff to see today!  I am using the new Fold-Up Tags along with Frosty Friends to create these tags....


Print

I die cut the 3 shaped folded tags in white card stock along with 3 of the solid tags in red card stock. I stamped 3 of the Frosty Friends on each tag and then glued them to the red tag above the scored line. I love these tags for that fun little feature.  I colored up the snowmen with Copics and then added the ribbons and twine to each tag.  I decided at the last minute to add some stenciled snow with the Snow Flurry Stencil on the bottom of each red tag.

Altenew November 2018 Stamp/Die Blog Hop..


Hi friends!  I am so excited to be here today with the latest Altenew Release.  November release has lots of fun stuff and I have several things here to share today.

Click HERE to see the full November Release.

First up, a card using the new World Map stamp set...

Altenew November 2018 Release

To create this card, I added the world map stamp to my misti and added ink in rainbow order with makeup sponges.  I love how those little sponges work to add ink and help blend it too.  I added the panel to the gray card base with fun foam after stamping the sentiment in black in across the front. Super easy and super simple!

Altenew November 2018 Release

I had to do another rainbow card, of course!  To create this card, I used the new set called Kind Confetti across the edge of a card front....

Altenew November 2018 Release

Using Altenew inks, I added the perfect rainbow colors leaving lots of white space so those colors pop.  I die cut the thank you die 4 times and stacked them all on top of each other for some dimension.  I added that to the card front and then finished it off with a strip of Score Tape along the top.  I sprinkled glitter along the tape for a little bit of bling for the card.

Altenew November 2018 Release

My last card is super simple.  The Watercolor Striped Cover die is a must have.  I added it in white card stock to help add a little detail to the card.  I used the new stamp and die set called Handpicked Bouquet to  add some color to the front....

Altenew November 2018 Release

After stamping this super simple book, I added the Hello to the card front in between the watercolor stripes and then added the flower to the front with foam tape.
