MFT - WEDNESDAY SKETCH CHALLENGE 413


My card inspired by the new sketch:


As you can see, I turned the sketch around and those cute birds represent the five squares. To make this scene, I combined three different stamp sets. The brown birds are from the You Make My Heart Spin, the two owls are from the You Make My Heart Melt. The were Copic colored and cut out with the coordinating dies. The trees are from the SY Warm and Feathered Hugs and I stamped them with Milk Cholate Hybrid Ink.


The front panel was ink blended with Distress Oxides. After, I sprayed the panel with water using a mini mister. Once dried, I white heat embossed the sentiment from the SY Warm and Feathered Hugs.


The hill panel was die-cut using a die from the Snow Drifts Die-namics. I ink blended the bottom of the panel to make the ice skating area.


To assemble the card, I adhered the hill panel to the front panel and added the images as shown. To finish, I added splatters of white paint to the card front to make it look like it's snowing. 


It's a fun sketch! I hope you'll play along with us. Visit the Card Challenges blog for more information on the sketch challenge and for inspiration from the participating design team members.

MFT NOVEMBER HITS AND HIGHLIGHTS

Hello and welcome to the MFT November Hits and Highlights challenge for the design team. 

This month, we were asked to create a project with the theme of:

Cool Christmas
Christmas is really a full season for many of us, not a single day, so if you’re still thinking of whipping up some holiday cards, we’ve got you covered. Hits & Highlights this month is all about the bringing the feel of winter to your holiday with a cool palette featuring blues and purples…bring a little shiver of delight with wintry colors evocative of falling snow and twinkling lights.



My card today features the adorable SY Sweet Holiday Penguins set. 


To begin, I Copic colored the stamped penguins from the SY Sweet Holiday Penguins set and cut them out with the coordinating dies.

The front panel was ink blended with Distress oxides. To add texture I used the Mini Mister and added splatters of white paint to create the snow. 

The hill panels were die-cut with the Snow Drifts Die-namics.  I stamped the sentiment from the SY Sweet Holiday Penguins set on the shorter hill.


To finish, I adhered the hill panels and the colored images as shown.

Thank you so much for stopping by! Have a wonderful day!!

ME STAMP HIGHLIGHT: HOGS AND KISSES

Hello and welcome to the Mama Elephant last November release Stamp Highlight! Today, the design team is highlighting the sweet and adorable Hogs and Kisses stamp set.


To begin, I did no-line Copic coloring on the pig from the Hogs and Kisses stamp set and cut it out with the coordinating Hogs and Kisses creative cuts.


The front panel was die-cut with the second largest die from the Basic Rectangles creative cuts for a nice stitched detail. I ink blended the panel with Distress Oxides and stenciled on the heart using the same colors. I made the stencil by die-cutting a small piece of acetate using a heart die from my Mama Elephant collection. After, I die-cut the panel with the "Love" die from the Tri Window Cover creative cuts. 



To finish, I adhered the front panel to a top folding A2 sized card base and foam mounted the die-cut "Love" back into the negative space and foam mounted the pig as well.


That's it for today! :)

Thank you for visiting me! I hope you enjoyed my project.
Happy stamping!
Hugs, Amy

ME STAMP HIGHLIGHT: LITTLE BEAR AGENDA

Hello and welcome to the Mama Elephant November release Stamp Highlight! Today, the design team is highlighting the really cute Little Bear Agenda stamp set.



To begin, I Copic colored the bears from the Little Bear Agenda stamp set ( I stamped it with brown ink for no-line coloring) and cut them out with the Little Bear Agenda Creative Cuts. 


The background was ink blended with Distress Oxides. Behind the sentiments, I used a darker color to make it stand out.

The front panel was die-cut with the Woodgrain Cover Creative Cuts and the Circular Grid Creative Cuts. I used Vintage Photo Distress Oxide around the edges to add some color. 


I white heat embossed the sentiment on heat resistant acetate from the Wishful Taggins stamp set. After, I adhered it behind the front panel. Then, I added foam tape around the edges and the circles and mounted it to the background panel after adding the heart confettis. 


To finish, I adhered the colored bears inside the front circles.

PPP NOVEMBER RELEASE BLOG HOP



Hello there! I'm so excited to be a guest designer for the Pretty Pink Posh November release! I have three fun cards to share with you today. All three cards feature the adorable Penguin Pals stamp set, along with some of the other awesome products from this release that I'll share in more detail later.

To begin, I Copic colored the stamped images from the Penguin Pals stamp set and cut them out with the coordinating Penguin Pals Dies.


For the first card, I used trees from the Holiday Pals stamp set to help build my scene. I colored them with Copic markers and cut them out the Holiday Pals Dies.


The front panel was ink blended with Distress Oxides. To add texture and snow to the sky, I added splatters of water and white paint. Once the panel dried, I glued on the Seasons Greetings Script from the November release. I used the cloud panel that I made using a die from the Stitched Borders 2 to make the ice skating area and the mounds of snow behind the trees.  


For the second card, I once again ink blended the front panel with Distress Oxides and added splatters of water, ink and white paint. After, I white heat embossed the sentiment from the Penguin Pals stamp set.


The tree was made using the Layered Tree dies. I decorated the tree using a mixture of the Starry Sky Jewels Mix and Holiday Jewels Mix. The front hill was die-cut with a die from Scallop Borders 2. I added snow to the images and the tree using a white gel pen.


For the final card, I added splatters of white paint to the front panel. The sentiment from Christmas Friends was heat embossed in red.


The frame was die-cut using the larger die from the Scallop Ovals Dies and adhered to the front panel. Then, I die-cut a whole bunch of pine sprigs using the Pine Sprigs Dies (I splattered them with white paint as well) and added them inside the oval as shown. For some color, I glued on the red confetti from the Berry Bright Confetti Mix.

Thank you so much for stopping by! I hope you enjoyed my projects.
