Mark's Finest Papers Speedy Fox & Friends Challenge 286
- Monochromatic layered stamping -

Tutorial

Here's my sample card as a design team member for Mark's Finest Papers! Thanks for looking and head on over to JOIN IN the challenge fun!

Here's my sample for Mark's Finest Papers design team.

I picked out the main color I wanted to work with and then began
the process of creating. I took a white piece and stamped a
background in the lightest shade. I used the same stamp, and going
in the opposite direction, stamped using a darker shade of the same
color. On a separate piece of white I stamped my main image in
the darkest ink color. Using that same ink I also stamped the
sentiment, added some pearls, yes, they are a very dark red,
and finished! Easy Peasy! Thanks for looking!!

I used MFP stamp set "Christmas Cardinals".

OCT. 29- Baby Garland by Sandy

Let's get started !!

For this HOP I decided to use the same stamp
set for each day hoping to show several
different ways a set can be used.
I am using
"BUNDLE OF JOY"

Here's my card for DAY 4

I saved my least favorite card for last but it's still
a cute card, I think?? lol Anyway, I stamped my
baby rattle in blue and pink inks, randomly, to
create my background paper. I stamped my sentiment
and used die cuts to create my tag. I edged the white
with the pink ink. An embossing folder was used on
the blue piece. I added some ribbon across the
middle and mounted the tag on it. Using white flowers
I added some of the matching inks and some blingy
gems to give the flowers some pop! And...DONE!

Now go visit all the other blogs and have FUN!!

First I chose the papers and colors I wanted to use
then I stamped my images and colored them with
Copic markers. I cut out the pacifier and set aside
until the finish. I used a silver metallic pen for the
handles and bars on my baby buggy. I added a
flower brad and gem to the bug. I put my card
together and added the pacifier, mounted up for
dimension and a ribbon for some cuteness. lol
I stamped BOY and my card is complete!

Here's my card for DAY 2

This is a pull card, which seemed perfect for my
stork. I used a white card base. Using a blue
piece of cardstock I punched an oval hole slot.
I used mounting tape on the back, making sure
to line it along each edge of the slot, to be a
guide for my ribbon. I stamped and cut out my
stork adding a bit of mounting tape to the back
AND to the ribbon, attaching the bird right to it.
I used white ribbon, colored blue using a Copic
marker. Be sure your ribbon is long enough
so that you don't pull in under the mounted
cardstock. I added a few die cut clouds and
stamped Baby Boy in two of them.

Tuesday Throwdown Challenge 268

- Too Cute To Spook -

Here's my card for the design team.

This digi image is just so cute and I couldn't wait to work with

it! I printed the image 3 times. I colored the main image, but not

the cat. I cut out that image. Then I colored another image,

including the cat. Using that one, I cut out the kitty. I added

mounting tape to the back of the cat and attached it to my

main image. I colored the remaining pumpkin on image 3.

I cut out the 2 pumpkins and added them BEHIND the main

image, using mounting tape for dimension. Next I used

embossing folders on my pieces of green and black

cardstocks. I used a piece of designer paper to run across

the seam. I stamped my sentiment and mounted it up and DONE!

Thanks for looking!

Still time to get involved with the current challenge at Tuesday Throwdown.

Mark's Finest Papers Speedy Fox and Friends Challenge 285
- large sentiment, tiny image hilight -

Here's my sample card as a design team member for Mark's Finest Papers! Thanks for looking and head on over to JOIN IN the challenge fun!

Here's my sample for Mark's Finest Papers design team.

A card that's CAS and very simple. I used a Kaleidacolor Ink
Pad to stamp my large sentiment, Autumn. Great colors. Certainly
FALL! lol I took 3 different size leaf stamps and stamped them
on each individual color using the same ink pad. I dotted around
the edge and just layered everything to create the finished card.
Thanks for looking!

I used MFP stamp sets
"Scarecrow"
and
"Scene Selections"

Mark's Finest Papers Speedy Fox and Friends Challenge 284
- round all corners -

Here's my sample card as a design team member for Mark's Finest Papers! Thanks for looking and head on over to JOIN IN the challenge fun!

Here's my sample for Mark's Finest Papers design team.

I got the idea for this card from some very creative person on Pinterest!

Someone's got skills. lol I had to come up with my own stamps and

images though. I think it turned out fine. First of all I rounded

all the corners for my layers. Taking a piece of brown CS I ran it

through my wood-like embossing folder and then scored it every

1/2 inch, nipping out a "v" at the end of each 1/2 inch score, creating a

"fence". I ran an ink pad, using a darker color brown. I stamped my

sentiment on the white panel and began stamping my branch, inking,

stamping and stamping again without re-inking. Liquid Applique works

so perfectly for the snow. I dotted spots all over the card and lined the

top of my fence and heated it for the wonderful puff effect. My Cardinal

is a die cut. I cut him out twice so I could add some dimention

to his wing by adding some mounting tape to the back of the top wing.

I used a white pen to outline the eye and put a black pearl in the centeer.

His bill and feet were colored using a gold sparkle pen. He was then

mounted up on top of my fence. I did sponge some brown ink

around the Cardinal and the white main card. And...that's it!

Thanks for stopping by!

I used MFP stamp sets
"Snow Gifts, mini set" .
and
"Marsh Silhouettes"

Tuesday Throwdown Challenge 266

Tuesday Throwdown Challenge 266

- watercolor-

Our sponsor for this challenge is

Here's my card for the design team.

I want to thank Freckled Fawn for sponsoring this challenge.

They offer some awesome products like these

Silver Puffy Heart Stickers.

Since the challenge is Watercolor I decide to actually use

watercolor cardstock. Genius, right? lol First I stamped

my image. Then I began to "paint" using my watercolor

brush tool. My paints? This was actually fun. I used

my old TomBow markers, scribbling various colors onto

a clear block, or anything plastic would work, and picked

up the color with the brush. I painted my flower image first

then filled in the entire background using a pale blue/green.

I then flicked some of the blue/green from my brush creating

some dots. I did lightly mist the entire card with water.

I speeded the drying process using my embossing tool.

Finally I stamped my sentiment and added the cool

puffy heart stickers. I KNOW I will use these a lot!

ta da...finished.

Still time to get involved with the current challenge at Tuesday Throwdown.

Another Card

I made this card back in Sept. for my friend Sue.

I don't get to see her as much as I'd like lately. Work

gets in the way...lol...it's HER job that's in the way.

hehe

Stamps are from Sugar Pea Designs. Adorable!

Wedding Card

My dear friend, Ardith's (Ardie) son, Davey got married

in September and this is the card I made for the lovely

couple. Ardie's children are like family to me and I love

them dearly! Hard to believe that more than 43 years ago

Ardie was standing up at MY wedding. Years do go by!

Yes...I had to make the envelope too! lol

Here's my sample card as a design team member for Mark's Finest Papers! Thanks for looking and head on over to JOIN IN the challenge fun!

Here's my sample for Mark's Finest Papers design team.

I really enjoy making winter/Christmas cards and once I picked out my

papers for the panels and background I then hunted for just the right

stamp and sentiment. This little snowman is just so cute! I loved coloring

him with my Copics and I paper pieced his hat and scarf. Yep, that is

paper pieced. Was it the perfect paper, or what??? His hat came out just

right!!! I added some twine and mounted the snowman and stamped

my sentiment on the bottom. (shhh...secret...I stamped a Merry Christmas

on a different paper and added it OVER the "Let's be Friends"

so I could use it for one of my Christmas cards.) hehe

I used MFP stamp set "Snow Gifts" mini.

Gerda Steiner Oct. Challenge

I got this adorable little hedgehog from Gerda Steiner

Designs for the October monthly challenge. It was

really fun coloring this guy. I didn't want to add too

much to the card because I really wanted to showcase

the image. Be sure to check out all the digis and

there's plenty of time to join in the challenge.

- Collage Stamping -

Tutorial

Here's my sample card as a design team member for Mark's Finest Papers! Thanks for looking and head on over to JOIN IN the challenge fun!

Here's my sample for Mark's Finest Papers design team.

Basically I followed the tutorial, shown above, but I wanted
my standout part, not to be an image, but the sentiments
I stamped around in black. I used coordinating inks for
stamping images and sponging on additional
color. Using some black twine I wrapped it around
the card front, adding a bow.

I used MFP stamp set "Marsh Silhouettes"
