Hi everyone!

It's the last day of 2019! I'd like to wrap up my blogging for 2019 with a card that I made for this month's MFT Hits & Highlights DT challenge. 

This month we're challenged to add shimmer & shine to our projects by using glittered cardstock, metallic cardstock, and foil dies, etc. For my card, I chose Gold Sparkle CS and combined it with the Happy Birthday Script Die-namics.

I made a Smooth White card and inked the lower half of the front with Grapesicle Premium Dye Ink. Once the ink dry, I spattered some purple watercolor paint and gold shimmer spray. 

I stamped the images, that are from the Birthday Chicks stamp set, on No-Line Coloring CS with Milk Chocolate Hybrid Ink. I colored them with Copic Markers and cut them out with the matching dies. I added them to the card with foam craft, then stamped a sentiment from the Birthday Chicks stamp set with Extreme Black Hybrid Ink.

I die cut the Happy Birthday Script three times, two are from Smooth White CS and one is from Gold Sparkle CS. I glued them together, the gold one on top, and adhered to the card.

Hi everyone! I hope you had a wonderful Christmas!

I have a winter card to share with you today that I made for the latest MFT Wednesday Sketch Challenge.

I used the Serene Snowflakes for the cloud shape elements in the original sketch. I heat embossed the snowflakes on watercolor paper and blended some Shaded Lilac and Worn Lipstick Distress Inks over them. I spritzed it with some water, then cut it with the largest die from the A2 Stitched Rectangle STAX Set 1 Die-namics. 

I die cut the "HUGS" three times - one from Smooth White CS and two from Grape Jelly CS, and layered them the Smooth White one on top and slightly offset. After adhering the background panel to a Smooth White card base, I added the "HUGS". The sentiment "Sending some love" is from the From the Heart stamp set. I heat embossed it on Smooth White CS, cut out with the Skinny Strips Die-namics, then inked with Worn Lipstick Distress Ink to match with my background. Several clear sequins finished off the card.

Hi everyone! Today I'm going to share a card with you that I made for this week's MFT Wednesday Sketch Challenge (WSC 467).

I used the newly released Panda Pals stamp set & Die-namics to create my card today. First, I cut Smooth White CS and cut four circle windows out of it using the Circle STAX Set 2 Die-namics. I added zig-zag stitch lines along the top and bottom edges using the Basic Stitch Lines Die-namics. 

I stamped the pandas on No-Line Coloring CS with Extreme Black Hybrid Ink, did a little coloring with Copic Markers, and cut them out with the matching dies. I added them to the windows from the back.

I blended some Distress Inks on the front of a Smooth White card base and added patterned paper to the top and bottom portion. I adhered the top panel to the card base with foam tape and added the sentiment strip. 

*Distress Inks used - Spun Sugar, Picked Raspberry, Salty Ocean, Mermaid Lagoon, Twisted Citron, Lucky Clover, Scattered Straw, Carved Pumpkin
