Just sharing these for fun....

Okay I am slipping this one into the MFT Wednesday stamp club for sketch #41 as I needed a couple of baby cards for ladies at our church and decided to use the sketch for one more card this week . And yes the image below is the inside of this card.

Products used for this card were:
Stamps from MFT - ALM Bundle of Joy and Clearly Sentimental about Parents
Die-namics from MFT - Just the Ticket, Layered Labels, Fancy Flourish and Solid Bracket Border 
Paper: MME Lost and Found - Breeze
Ink: Copic markers, Memento and Distress Ink

 And this one is not for any challenges - just needed another baby card so made this for fun!! One little fun thing when I cut the flower with the MFT die-namic Pretty Posies I inked the edges of the flower pieces before assembling, to me this gave the flower more depth :)

Products used for this card:

Stamps from MFT: ALM Bundle of Joy and Clearly Sentimental about Babies
Die-namics from MFT: Pretty Posies, Upsy Daisy Leaves, First Place Award and Simple Scallop Edge
Paper: Simple Stories Baby Steps
Inks; Copic markers, Memento and Distress Ink

Both were fun to do and I hope you enjoy them too :) Love to hear from you.

And this is the inside for you to see.

Okay I had to make another one with a "blue theme" and this was fun too!!! Yes some of the very same awesome MFT products for this one - I did add two MFT dienamics, Dog Tag and Dainty Doliy Edge. I am going to see if I can link the products I used in a different way that I have seen on some other blogs ..... The paper that I used is from a few years ago from TPC ...down to my last piece now :) The sentiment on outside is from a Stampavie set called Joy to World and the Merry Christmas is from Stamp Barn.

MFT die-namics that were used:


Homespun Birdhouse and Set

Let it Snowflake

Dog Tag

It's beginning to .... "feel alot like Christmas"  ....getting a jump start on Christmas cards :)

MFT Wednesday Stamp Club - Sketch #41

Some days there is a card that is extra fun to make... yes this was one of those cards!!! Made this for the MFT Wednesday Stamp Club, Sketch #41 ... you should come play along too. I used the very fun Homespun Birdhouse dienamic from MFT for this card and what fun it was!!  I used liquid applique to make the snow on the birdhouse and I like how it turned out :) Along the layer of paper under the image I used the Notebook edge dienamic (also from MFT) and then used the negative piece that was left over as it reminded me of Christmas lights.  The snowflakes were also cut with a MFT dienamic called Snowflake   :) The great paper is from Cosmo Cricket line called "Dear Mr. Claus" - the 6x6 pad. The sentimnet on outside is from the Homespun Birdhouse set and the inside sentiment is an old wood stamp I have from Paper Inspirations.

Yeah I have my first Christmas card done!!!!

All That Scraps Wednesday Eye Candy - Breast Cancer Awareness... so something pink!!

I am sure that each of us have known someone who has been affected by breast cancer. This month especially we want to let women know that they are not alone as they face this, so there are many online sites that are doing what they can to lend their support to this cause and All That Scraps is one of those. So with that in mind the card this week is to include "pink" and "Coffee Birgitta" from C.C. Designs at All That Scraps definitely is wearing lots of pink for this card :) The paper is from My Minds Eye (an older collection), the flowers are Prima and the ric rac is cut with a C.C. Design die. I used a Spellbinder die for the scalloped circle behind the image. Did you see the brown metal leaves..... Tim Holtz! And if you want to know about the sentiment and also the "breast cancer" ribbon on her coffee cup .... MFT, Who's that Girl - Choose Hope stamp set. I thought those just added to this simple card (it was our Thanksgiving weekend here in Canada, so I was a bit busy the last few days)
Copic markers used: R20, 21, 22 and E40, 42, 43, 44 and E21, 50, 51, airbrushed around her with R01.

Be aware and encourage someone you know that is fighting Breast Cancer.

MFT Wednesday Stamp Club - Sketch 40

 ...and here's the inside too....

Always fun to play along with the MFT Wednesday sketches!!  Also as this month is Breast Cancer Awareness month there are challenges daily at Splitcoaststampers on the Hope You Can Cling to forum (just click on this link and you will be there). And you can make cards and send them and they will be used to help encourage women fighting breast cancer - great cause!! So I decided to use my new MFT  Who's That Girl stamp set called "Choose Hope" to make a card for the sketch and also to be sent with some other cards I hope to do so that it can be used to encourage someone. The paper I used is from Authentique called "Uncommon" and I used a few of the MFT die-namics too .... Sweet Stack, Layered Labels, Scallop Ribbon and Open Scallop Doily - these dies are so slick!!!! If you have not used these you really need to check them out :) So I hope you enjoyed what saw today .... love to hear your comments.

MFT Guest Designer Challenge Entry

 Okay here is the photo of the whole set ... getting a good photo was a challenge in itself!! :) The challenge from one of my most fav companies MFT was to make a "perfect package" (you can read all about on the MFT blog - come and play too)- I have a niece who is soon having a baby, so this is to treat her and remind her she has to take care of herself too!! A bag to put bath goodies in, a bookmark to remind her to take time to relax and read and of course a card that may hold another treat for her... The frame is to hold a photo of baby and go in his room :)

 ..here is the bookmark

...the frame
