Hello

Welcome back, I trust you have all had fun shopping the latest release..

I have a new card for you today, it starts the new Sketch Challenge for the week, currently sitting at number 440..

Pop on over HERE to see how you can play along for a chance at winning..

Now don’t dislike me, but I am sharing a Christmas card, I know I can hear you all saying way too early, but I figured I really need to send some out this year and so jumping a little ahead of time to get some created..

I chose to use Happy Pawlidays, stamping out the little dog with Christmas lights around him, colouring with Copics and die cutting..

I then took a white panel and using the Basic Shapes Circle Stencil, I added 3 circles with a light dusting of Berrylicious ink…

I added my little dog to one and in the other 2 I die cut 2 snowflakes from the Stylish Snowflakes out of Sno Cone card stock..

Completing the card by adding a stamped sentiment to a piece of white card stock, backing this with pattern paper from the Party Patterns and some sequins onto the snowflakes..

Have fun playing along this week..

Hugs

Hello

The day is finally here, time to go ahead and purchase all the fun goodies from the June Release..

Plus don’t forget to head past the blog to see loads more inspiration from the team and also friends from around the crafting industry..

I have chosen to share another card using the latest Birdie Brown stamp set called Friends with Fins, pairing it with yet another from the release called, Under the Sea..

First, I started out by stamping out the dolphins from the set, colouring with Copics and adding more contrast with my Polychromos, die cutting these out and setting aside..

I then masked off a section on some white card stock and blended Distress Inks, Chipped Sapphire, Stormy Sky and Broken China..

Whilst the masking was still on, I flicked some water to make the ink wick and then took the Basic Shapes – Circle Stencil and applied various circles using Sweet Tooth Pigment Ink..

Whilst I set this aside to dry, I took Coral Crush, Peach Bellini and Limelight card stocks and ran through the die cutting machine using Under the Sea dies..

I added these die cuts along with my dolphins to the inked panel, adding some extra stamped fish around the dolphins..

I completed this card by stamping a sentiment along the inked panel and added a scattering of sequins..

Have fun shopping and perusing the blogs..

Hugs

Hello there

Well almost time to shop the latest release from MFT and I sure do hope you have enjoyed viewing all the wonderful creations this month..

I share with you along with the other girls at the blog more inspiration for you today..

This time I used the Fairy Good Friends stamp set..

Stamping the little fairy out and colouring her with Copics, die cutting and adding some extra to her by adding some white gel pen to make it look like she had glitter falling over her..

I then took some Tickled Pink ink and applied to the centre of a white panel card stock, making sure to add just enough softness..

I then took the Moroccan Mosaic Stencil and reapplied more ink over the top to give some texture…

I added some white gel pen to this as well, adding my fairy and then a stamped sentiment..

Completing the card by adding Clear Sequins..

Have fun making those lists, I will be back tomorrow for one last card to share with you all…

Hugs

Hi there

Getting super close now to the full release and purchase day…

I am here again as well as the other girls over at the blog to share more inspiration today..

I am using the Tropical Flowers, Well, Hello and Sweet Hello set..

Taking the Tropical Flowers I stamped onto some Coral Crush, Peach Bellini and Cement Gray using the corresponding inks, I added Milk Chocolate to the centres and die cut these out..

At the die cutting station I took After Midnight card stock and ran it through die cutting several times the word Hello, adhering each layer together..

I then took some Grout Gray card stock and added some score lines around the panel for a different effect..

Adding my Tropical Flowers and word Hello to the card base and finishing off with another sentiment stamped from the Well, Hello set..

Have fun perusing all the inspiration today..

Back with Day 1 tomorrow..

Hugs

Hi there

Halfway through the June Release Countdown now and I do hope that you are starting to prepare your wish lists..

We have even more installed today being day 3 and to view even more head over to the blog..

I am using the latest Pure Innocence girl, stamping her out and colouring her hair and skin and of course as you all know I love to paper piece when I can these sweet little girls, so I took some pattern paper from the Party Patterns and added to her swim suit..

I then die cut her out and set her aside..

I then took some white card stock and some distress inks, adding this to a clear block and applying water so it beaded..I then stamped onto the card stock and added more around the sides to look as though the water was splashing around her..

Once dry, I added the little girl and a sentiment that I embossed with white embossing powder to Black Licorice card stock, making sure to die this using the Skinny Strips..

I completed the card by adding a scattering of sequins..

Have a fabulous day!

Hugs

Hello

Have you enjoyed seeing some of the new products on Day 5 of the June Release Countdown? Well we have even more for you again today..

Being Day 4 of the Countdown I am sharing the latest from Stacey Yacula called Picnic Pals..

I adore creating scenes with her little stamps and for this card I did just that..

Taking the stamps that I wished to use on the card, I stamped out and coloured with Copics and die cut out..

I took a panel of white card stock and Berrylicious ink and applied an area at the centre of the panel..

I adhered my little images and created my scene then stamped a sentiment at the base..

I completed this card by adding some white dots to the sky line as extra texture..

Right, now time to head to the blog to see the rest of the amazing creations..

Have a wonderful day!

Hugs
