2018 Easter Card One

Does anyone else have trouble with motivation? I certainly do. Recently, I was looking around my craft room and discovered that I had multiple stamp sets and supplies that have never been used. I absolutely love buying new supplies and stamps, but seem to lack the motivation to use them all. Well today that is going to change. I am going to start making myself blog each week to hold myself accountable for creating new cards/crafts using all my supplies.

Starting this week, I am going to create Easter cards for my friends and family. This week I played along with MFT's sketch challenge sketch 375.

I started by using Stamping Bella's Uptown Girl Bunny has a Daffodil coloring her in with my copic markers. Then using MFT's A2 stitched rectangle stax both 1 and 2, I created my background.

I glued everything together and popped up the image with foam tape.Then stamped the sentiment on a circle punch and placed it in the bottom right hand corner to somewhat go along with the sketch. Finished the card off by stamping the image again on the inside using Angel Pink ink.

That completed the card. Hopefully, I will stay motivated and finish all my Easter cards this year. I hope all of you have a wonderfully amazing day!

Day 5 of MFT's Camp Create

The last day of camp create was all about shadow stamping. This is a technique I have never used before and ended up creating a card very similar to the one in the MFT's you tube video.

I used one of MFT's large flower stamp sets with Pink Flamingo Lawn Fawn/white pigment ink to stamp the background. The hello sentiment is from Simon Says Stamp.

Day 4 of the MFT Camp Create Challenges.

Day 4's camp create challenge is to create a card using dry embossing. I created to following card.

The background was created using a square cover-up die-namic from MFT. I then colored the background using three different distress inks festive berries, picked raspberry and spun sugar. The image is from the Neat and Tangled Say Yes to Donuts stamp set.

Day 3 of MFT's Camp Create

The challenge for day 3 is to create a card using the emboss resist technique.

I had been wanting to try this type of card for the past several months and finally got around to it. I used my new Mamma Elephant Happy Mail stamp set to create the sentiment. I embossed the sentiment with clear embossing powder along with a small shadow. I then applied twisted citron distress ink over the embossed sentiment and stenciled the stars onto the background. I messed the technique up by not completely getting my Happy Mail stamp clean from the black ink before applying the Versamark. 

Day 2 of MFT's Camp Create

Day 2 of camp create the week is Awesome Ombre.

I created this card using Neat and Tangled's Big Bold Brew stamp set. I attempted to color the cup using my copic markers in an ombre fashion. I then stamped the background with MFT's new Whimsical Waves background stamp. Embossing it with detail white embossing powder then color over it with distress inks. I then used craft card stock to back the elements on the card. 

MFT Camp Create

This past week My Favorite Things had their last week of camp create. Last time I was only able to manage one card for participation. This week I spent the weekend coming up with 5 cards to enter each days challenge. Unfortunately, that means I am posting all entries at the same time. So here it goes.

Day 1 of camp create was monochromatic stamping.

I used distress ink to create the background and the Fire burst stencil from the August Simon Says Stamp card kit. The die is the Happy Birthday to You die-namics from last month's MFT release. 

Stamping Bella Bellarific Friday Challenge for Aug 12,2016

I finally go time to participate in another Bellarific Friday Challenge. Yay! This week was a Mojobella sketch,

I created the card using one of the new Bella 2.0 images Cosmo Bella. I used paper from the 6x6 paper pad Soak up the Sun by Alisha Gorden. I created the circle using MFT's cross stitch circle stax die-namics.

While creating this card, I decided to make a second card to not waste the paper. So I used MFT's Bon Cheri stamp set. I just love this stamp set especially with these colors and paper.

There are my cards. I hope you guys have a great day!
