Wishing You A Delightful Halloween
Hello crafty friends! I'm sharing a Halloween card I made for a sketch challenge over at My Favorite Things!
These cute images are from the My Favorite Things Delightful Halloween stamp set. I colored the images with copics and used a black glaze pen on the fox eyes and nose. The fun plaid is from Doodlebug Design Oct 31st 6x6 paper pad. I cut a strip of Bristol card and inked it with Mowed Lawn, Peacock Feathers, Villainous Purple, and Black Soot Distess Oxide Inks. I spattered the strip with white gouache and adhered it to my card base. I fussy cut the haunted house and fox and adhered them to my card with foam tape. I heat-embossed one of the sentiments from the stamp set and also adhered it with foam tape.
I'm entering my card in the MFTWSC 663. I'm also entering my card in the Simon Says Wednesday Challenge - Make It Cute.
Thanks so much for stopping by.

You're Berry Sweet
Happy Monday friends! I hope you had a fun and relaxing weekend. I found a little bit of time to get crafty so I have a slimline card to share with you today!
These adorable images are from the Streamside Studios Strawberry Cows clear stamp set. I used a slimline die to cut the 3-window frame from some light green paper. I sponged some Spun Sugar Distress Oxide Ink and stamped the sentiment behind the window openings before adhering the frame. I colored the images with copics and ran them through mu Cut N'Scan. I adhered all the images with foam tape.
Thanks so much for stopping by. I hope you have an amazing week!

It's Penguining To Look A Lot Like Christmas
Good morning friends! I hope you had a fun weekend! I found some time to work on a card for a sketch challenge.
This sweet penguin is from the It's Penguining To Look A Lot Like Christmas stamp set. I stamped the image and used the coordinating die-namic to diecut it. I followed the sketch that's over on the MFT Blog, MFTWSC654. I cut a square panel white cardstock and inked it with Peacock Feathers and Chipped Sapphire Distress Oxide Inks. I splattered the square with white gouache and matted it to dark blue cardstock. I cut the scalloped rectangle using an older MFT blueprints die-namic and adhered it to my dark blue card base. I stamped one of the sentiments from the stamp set below the square. I colored the image with copics and used both a black and white gel pen to add the penguin's eyes and highlights. I adhered the penguin to my card with foam tape.
I'm also entering my card in the MFT Ready, Set Christmas! Challenge.

Happy Monday everyone! I hope you had a fun weekend and found some time to get crafty. Today I'm sharing a Christmas card I made for a couple of challenges over at My Favorite Things.
I made this card for both the MFTWSC 639 and the Ready, Set, Christmas! Challenge. The sweet reindeer and diecut heart are from the Reindeer Love stamp set. I colored the deer with copics and diecut them using the coordinating dienamics. I used a black gel pen on the reindeer eyes and added highlights to their cheeks with a white gel pen. I applied Nuvo Crystal Glaze to their noses and also to the red diecut heart. I used the A2 Stitched Circle STAX Dienamics to cut a circle from white cardstock and I applied Broken China Distress Oxide Ink to the top portion of the circle. I spattered the circle with white gouache to create a snowy sky. I adhered the diecut circle directly to my card and then adhered the reindeer and heart with foam tape. I heat embossed a sentiment from the Sweet Holiday Penguins stamp set and adhered it with foam tape also.

Good afternoon crafty friends! I have a Christmas card to share with you today and I've used an adorable image from my favorite ETSY shop - LTTS Doodles!
I've been trying to work on Christmas cards throughout 2023 so I can build up my stash and not panic when November rolls around. I enjoy playing along in the Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge because it motivates me to make at least one Christmas card! The theme for for their February challenge is to add at least one heart. I diecut a stitched rectangle and sponged it with Pumice Stone, Tumbled Glass, and Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide Inks. I spattered the panel with white gouache and once it was dry I stamped a sentiment and adhered the panel to my card front. This cute image is from the Coffee Break stamp set and there are several different cups and bunnies to choose from. I printed the image on Neenah cardstock, colored it with copics, and fussy cut it. I used a white gel pen on the bunny's eyes and cheeks and added a few tiny heart embellishments to coffee cup. I adhered the images with foam tape to give some added dimension to this clean and simple card.

Bunny - E53, E51, E50; R20, R00
Bow - R59, R39, R37, R32
