You ARRR Amazing .........

Hello and Happy Tuesday everyone! 

I hope you are having a wonderful week so far. 

I am stopping by today to share this set of 

cards I created. 

I began with creating my background for the mermaid card first. 

I used alcohol inks to create the "ocean" background. 

I used Yupo paper and the colors of the alcohol inks 

were Patina, Pool, and Stream. 

I tried some no line coloring, using my Copic markers. 

I still need practice but I enjoyed it. For my mermaids tail 

I used BG09, 49, 78,75,72 and BG70. For the mermaids

top, I used R22, 21, 20 and R00. 

For my pirate card, I used the same BG Copic colors. 

For the green areas, I used YG17, 13, and G20. 

I hope you enjoy these fun cards! 

Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by! 

Wishing you a wonderful and Blessed day!

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.

MFT Color Challenge #77 

MFT Card Design Superstar 2017 Coloring Virtuoso

I am back with the second entry for the 

My Favorite Things Card Design Superstar 

Contest . This card is for the Coloring Virtuoso Part <3. 

I really had to make up my mind on what I would be using 

to color the cute images from the  Space Explorer stamp set.
Yes... I did use this set for the Innovation Master category as well ,
I couldn't help myself these astronauts are super CUTE !! 

I was debating between  Copics and Zig Clean Color Brush 

Markers. I went with my Copics as they are the reason 

I enjoy coloring . 

I began by creating the galaxy background using 

various Distress Inks and Oxides . 

I then colored in my images and put my 

pop up card together . 

I hope you enjoy my entry for the Coloring Challenge .

MFT Card Design Superstar Innovation Master Contest ......

Hello everyone !! 

I am so excited to be sharing these projects I created 

for the My Favorite Things Card Design Super Star Contest !!!! 

I am super happy to be participating , believe 

me the entries are absolutely AMAZING  !!! 

I started to think of ideas from the moment I saw 

MFT announce it . Nevermind, that here I am 

creating and editing my photos with a 45 minute time limit

to turn these in (insert shocked face here ,lol ) . 

I just added my photos with only a couple of minutes to spare !!
I knew I would be coming back to add all of the info on how I created these .
I am so happy I made it !!
Whew !!!

I began with an idea for an interactive card / book
the moment I came across the MFT Interactive Labels
stamp set .
I love all of the fun options this set has for creating
interactive cards .
I instantly thought of an Astronaut/Outer Space themed party
using the Space Explorer stamp set . 

From the idea for a interactive card/book ,
I thought of an outer space scene box card .

They are super cute and easy to create . 

You cut a strip of cardstock to 11 x 3.5 inches , 

The widest parts of the card are 3" wide and the smaller sides are a little under 2" . 

For the window opening you die cut using a square die about 2.5 x 2.5 " . 

The Die-namics Square Stax set 2 has lots of different sizes . 

For the moon shape I used the circle from the 

Stitched Circle Scalloped Edge Frame set . 

I am so sorry , I have not told you where the inspiration for the colors came from !!!
I was at Target (LOVE the dollar spot ) .
When I saw these glass drink bottles
with the different colored lids ,
I instantly knew I would be using them with the
super cute astronauts .

I have three boys , so as you can imagine 

planning birthday parties is always fun . 

My older boys are more into going places to celebrate their 

birthdays , but my five year old ...... 

As you can see I LOVE creating themed parties . 

For the treat sacs I used the 

MFT Die-namics Stax Stitched Rectangle Dies . 

I just die cut them to the size I was going for . 

For the scalloped trim I used the Stitched Scalloped Edged Frames. 

This card is what I had envisioned after lots of 

prayer . I sometimes have so many ideas but end 

up with a crafty mental block . 

This was not the time to have my crafty mojo pull a disappearing act !! 

I prayed and prayed and I can tell you with all honesty 

that these all came together TODAY !!! 

Yes .... Talk about last minute !! 

I can't begin to tell you how grateful I was as I finished each section <3 . 

Lots of MFT goodies were used to create the interactive 

areas of this card . 

I truly hope you enjoy the card and set I created to share with you today <3 .
I thank you so much for taking the time to stop by !
Wishing you a wonderful and Blessed day !
