MFT Sketch Challenge 343

Welcome to my attempt at this week's MFT Sketch Challenge! Here is the sketch for this week: I normally don't participate in sketch challenges when I don't have one of the elements, but I decided to get creative this week. I'm missing ovals and oval frames. But I can work with this 🙂 Instead of…

Hero Arts July Kit-Cards

Hello! I hope your week is going well! I wanted to share a couple of cards I created with the new Hero Arts kit. I've really enjoyed working with this set! The first thing I did was to stamp and color all of the flower images, and a lot of the containers with Copic Markers.…

New to Me-Mica Spray

Hello! Today I would like to talk about Mica Spray. Yana Smakula has used mica sprays in her card making and I loved the results! She made a card with Simon Says Stamps' Seeing Stars that is just gorgeous! I recently noticed that Micheal's carries some of the sprays, so with coupons in hand I…

Simon Says Stamps Wednesday Challenge-Stars and MFT

Happy Monday! The Simon Says Stamps Wednesday challenge for this week is Stars, and using MFT products. It's almost like they knew I just bought that adorable star shaker window and frame die set! I actually have two cards for the challenge this week. I just so happened to make a card using Simon Says…

Playing with Block Watercolor Stamping

One night a few weeks ago I was blending panels with Distress Oxide ink for backgrounds. Since I had my supplies out, I decided to try the Block Watercolor Stamping technique Jennifer McGuire shared on July 3rd (here). I was just playing around, so I didn't take any pictures while I was doing it, which…

MFT New Items and Shaker Cards

First off, Happy Birthday MFT!!! I’m afraid today's post is going to be a looong one! I wanted to do something special for MFT’s new release, but I can’t review the whole release, as I didn’t purchase everything (must stick to budget, must stick to budget). Since this release was full of shaker elements (and…

Simon Says Stamps Wednesday Challenge-Plaid and Lawn Fawn

Well, if you remove the Plaid, this challenge is right up my alley. I practically live and breathe Lawn Fawn's fairies and I can't seem to stay away from their Dad and Me set either!  However, plaid is not really my thing... I had to really dig to find plaid paper. I thought for sure…

Hero Arts July 2017 Kit Unboxing

Once again I received a surprise Hero Arts package today! According to the tracking page, it wasn't supposed to arrive until tomorrow, but when I opened the mailbox, there it was! Here we go: This month I ordered one of the add on items, the Butterfly Confetti Fancy die. I envision tons of ideas using…

Lawn Fawnatics Challenge 8

Hello! This is my first time entering a Lawn Fawnatic card challenge. It just seems fitting, as I have a lot of their products! This challenge is Summertime Fun! So, I decided to use a set that I have been using mainly for special orders, and hadn't really played with on my own. And I…

Simon Says Stamps Wednesday Challenge-Summer Sunshine

Good morning! This week the challenge was Summer Sunshine, using Simon Says Stamps products. What's more summery then flowers and weddings? I decide to use the Floral Bliss stamp set, but to use the smaller single images instead of the large image. I also decide to test out my new Mica Sprays (post coming soon).…
