Valentine's Card for Mojo Monday

Here is the sketch that the "Mojo" ladies had for us this week.

And here is what I did with it... this one I think is for my wonderful man!!

Here is a close up of the front too....

It is a nice change to not always use my copic markers and do something different. I must tell you that the paper I used is old Basic Grey (Bittersweet) and the "Valentine's stamp ... not even sure what company that is :). I used a few MFT products for the rest of the card which I can tell you about for sure.... the sentiment on the label is from Clearly Sentimentatl About Love set, the labels are cut with Layered Labels and then on both of those I traced around the die with a pencil and cut the shape out to add another layer. The flowers are MFT as well, Flower Trio and the leaves are from the Upsy Daisy set. I added some Kaiser pearls, a flourish stamp and some ribbon and that was that!!
Check out the Mojo Monday Blog to see what other treats were made with this fun sketch!!!  I had fun with it and hope you enjoy it :)

A Bit of Love ....for fun!!

This little darling was made for fun and will be a treat for someone that I love!! Always love to do the inside too and tie it in to the front of the card for fun.

Well I am trying to make time in my week to enter a few of the challenges that are going on when I am not busy making cards for the ATS (All That Scraps) blog where I have the awesome privilege of being on the DT with some very talented ladies :)  So I made this card specifically for two challenges:

Crazy 4 Challenges  - make a scene
Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge - Hugs and Kisses

This is Woodland Lucy and she is sitting on one of the mushrooms from the Sweet November Mushroom Set. Don't you love the little brown mushrooms, which are cut with the C.C. Cutter, Mushroom Border. The first three products are all from C.C. Designs and you can find them at the online store. (click on the words and go right to them!!) The grass is cut with the MFT die called Fresh Cut Grass and the sentiment is on the Oval Tab from MFT (trimmed to fit). The hearts were cut with a Spellbinder die - hint trace the dies with a pencil and cut that out the shape and then you can frame them with cardstock to make them stand out more!! I learned that trick from one of the MFT ladies and love it!! The papers are some older MME papers called Lime Twist, "Life of the Party" .... I have been so good at using up older papers and I now have the new pads here and can't wait to use them!!!!  The sentiment on the front "Hugs & Kisses" is from Spring Sentiments from C.C. Designs and the words on the inside are a wood stamp that I have had for awhile from Craft Smart.
Yes of course I colored with my copic markers:
Skin - E000, 00, 11  / Hair and Shoes -  E31, 35, 37, 39  /  Dress - R12, 14, 17  / Tights - R00, 02 and YG11, 41  Airbrushed BG000 around the image.
See you again real soon!!!

 I hope you have been having as much fun seeing all the cards made by the DT team, as we have had making the cards!! I have so enjoyed combining the different sentimentswith the images. Today I give you a glimpse of how fun the cutters are to use too!! Today's card features the new Mushroom border cutter - love it! The fun stamps that I am showing you today on the front of the card are, Nutter, Mushroom set and Be Happy Sentiments.
Remember I told you that I am trying hard to use paper pads that I have....so I can buy more new ones :) so for this card I used MME Lime Twist "Out of the Blue". Worked great for this card with the little trees on the paper. I paper pieced part of his hat, which is always fun to do!!

Here is the inside of the card where I used the Be Happy Sentiment set and Mushroom Border cutter:

Yeah it is the first day of  sneak peaks for what is coming in February!! I have had so much fun creating for these previews :)......so let's start off with "Pixie Lucy". Oh I have something exciting to give away after these three preview days are done....three stamps to someone who leaves me some love during this time. The three stamps are Pixie Lucy (this cutie), Woodland Mushroom (great for a cutie to sit on) and the awesome Woodland Logo set (used one from this set on the inside of this card).

I think she is just too cute!! I have perched her on top of the Swiss Field Fence and surrounded her with butterflies that I cut with C.C. Butterflies and a variety of flowers and some Kaiser pearls.

January Review Day - "For You"



Today is "review day" at All That Scraps Blog, a chance to show you some fun ideas with the great stamps that came out in January... so be sure to stop by the blog and see all the fun eye candy that the DT members have to show you today!! I chose to use Sweet November Fairwee - Josie's Cupcake, I think she is so cute and you can do so many different things to decorate the cupcake she is perched on. I chose to add Stickles to the icing to give it some bling and only lightly colored it with copics. The sentiment on the tag (cut from MFT Fishtail banner die) is from the Beach Sentiment set by Amy R at All That Scraps. I also used the Scallop Ribbon die from MFT and the the Sweet Stack die from MFT too. The paper is the Echo Park - Yours Truly line and there are some in stock at ATS!! For the inside of my card I used two stamps from ATS, the Party Logos and Birthday Sentiments - love having good sentiment stamps to use on my cards!!  Some bling and some ribbon were added to make it fun!! This card was a more simple design....but I can hardly wait for the January 31st to start showing you the previews for the February release .......so FUN!!!!
