It's Your Birthday, Go Nuts ..........

Hello everyone! I am so happy to be guest designing once again

for the MFT blog.

It has been a blast creating with the super cute December 2017

MFT release. 

I created this CAS card using the new Friendly Forest stamp set. 

I die cut blue, orange, and white card bases using the Die-namics

Stitched Rectangle Dies set.  

I then stamped my images onto the bases using Versamark ink. 

Then I heat embossed the images. 

These were super fast, easy and fun to create. I hope you have enjoyed 

the cards I created as a guest designer. Big thank you to each of you and 

to MFT for inviting me! 

Wishing you a wonderful and Blessed day. 

One Layer Unicorn Card .......

Hello everyone! Mayra here from Mayras Designs with today's 

blog post. Today the theme is one layer card. 

I love this theme, I do not create many one layer cards but when I 

do I am always happy with that technique. 

For my card today, I used the brand new Sparkle stamp set. 

I began by cutting my card base from Strathmore Bristow 

cardstock. 

I stamped the image I would be using all over using Ranger Archival 

ink in the color Jet Black. I knew I wanted to use my Zig Clean Color

Real Brush watercolor markers to color these in. 

I started with the colors Lilac and Purple. I then used the Violet and Deep Violet. 

To add a bit of color to the white areas of the unicorns I added the colors

Light and Mid Gray. To fill in the background I used Blue. 

To add a bit of stars to the blue areas I stamped the unicorn image onto 

post-it paper, then cut them out to create a mask. I used white acrylic paint

to splatter my stars. 

I then stamped my sentiment and my one layer card was finished. 

I hope you enjoy and feel inspired to create. 

Thank you so much for stopping by! 

Wishing you a wonderful and Blessed day!

Day 10 of Advent Calendar 2017 ........

Happy Friday everyone! 

I am stopping by today to share a couple of cards 

I created using the newest release from Craftin' Desert Divas. 

It is available here. 

I created three cards to share. 

For the first card, I used the Far Out stamp set. 

I began by creating the alcohol ink background. 

I am a newbie to this technique. I love the look 

these inks create. 

For the second card, I did the same technique 

once again just using different colors. 

The unicorns from the Sparkle stamp set are super cute. 

For the third card, I used the PS I Love You stamp set. 

For the background, I used the Hearts Galore stencil. 

I also have the day 10 of my advent calendar to share with you. 

I used the Holiday Sweater stamp set along with the Nice List set. 

I hope you enjoy and feel inspired to create! 

Thank you very much for stopping by! 

Wishing you a wonderful and Blessed day!

My Favorite Things Guest Designer .....YAY !!!

Hello everyone! 

Happy Thursday!  I am super excited, honored, and thankful to be 

today's guest designer on the My Favorite Things blog!! 

I can not thank My Favorite Things 

enough for this amazing opportunity! 

It is a dream come true! 

I created this card to share with you using two products from the brand new

release. Town Bears stamp set and. It is such an adorable set. 

I began by die cutting the base of my card using Die-namics

Stitched Rectangle dies. I used the largest one. 

I then stamped the bear, trees, and houses using MFT Hybrid Ink 

in the color Black Licorice.  I created masks for the images 

in order to create a patterned background. 

After taking off all of the masking (favorite part when creating these types of cards)

I colored my images using Copic markers. 

For the greens in the trees, I used G99, 94, YG95, YG67, YG17, YG13,

YG03, YG21. For the trunk of the trees, I used E47, 44, and 41. 

For the navy areas I used, B99, B95,  B93, and B0000.

For my bear, I began with YR27, YR24, YR21, and YR20

(I used these colors for the rust toned areas as well). 

I then went over the bear using E47, E44, E55, E35, and E31.

I loved how the background came out. I wanted to make my little bear standout a bit more, I decided to die cut another piece of cardstock using the same pale

gray color with the Die-namics Stitched Tag-Corner Square STAX. 

I stamped the bear and the trees once again and colored them using

the same colors from the background. 

I glued the finished piece to the base of my card. 

My card was finished. 

I also have the treat box I created for my advent calendar to share with you. 

For today's box I used the same file from the online Silhouette store. 

It is the Favor Box by Lori Whitlock design ID# 187420

I used the adorable Town Bears stamp set again. 

I used the same color combinations of Copic as I did for yesterday's box,

you can find the ones I used here. 

For the 11 I used the Pop-Up Numbers Die-namics set. 

I truly loved creating with this set. 

I hope you enjoy and feel inspired to create.

Thank you so much for stopping by. 

Wishing you a wonderful and Blessed day

CDD Social Media Mood Board Challenge December 2017 ....

Happy Wednesday everyone!

I am so happy to be stopping by today...

I feel as if I haven't crafted in a while. 

It has been a bit busy for me and I have to be honest 

I feel as though my crafty mojo took a mini vacation, lol. 

I am happy to say that today (thank you GOD) I felt creative

and actually had ideas!!  YAY!!! 

For today I created this treat box as part of my Advent Calendar. 

I love the Winter Village Digital stamp set from Craftin Desert Divas. 

From the moment Tara showed us this set, I knew I would love creating

with it. 

I began by creating a scene onto my favor box die cut file. 

This box is from the online Silhouette store
Favor Box by Lori Whitlock
design ID# 187420.

I cut out my scene and colored it in using Copic markers. 

For my colors, I was inspired by our current

 CDD Monthly Social Media Mood Board Challenge: 

I hope you will join us, create something and share with us on the CDD Gallery. 

I used my all time go to red combination R46, R27, R17, and R05. 

I added a bit of R89 and E18 to deepen the shadow areas. 

For the green areas, I used G99, G94, YG17, and YG03.

I then added my 'snow' using my Uni-Ball white pen. 

Here is how it looked once I finished coloring. 

I love how easy it was to create. 

I hope you enjoy. 

Than you so much for taking the time to stop by. 

Wishing you a wonderful and Blessed day.
