Baked With Love

Welcome my friends, I hope you are having a good day so far.

I am back to share another card I created.  This time using the Holiday Baking stamp set from Neat and Tangled.  Although this stamp set was released for Christmas, I created a Valentine's card with the images and one of the sentiments.

Hello my friends and welcome back.  Today I am here to share a card I made using the current sketch from MFT Card Challenges.

For my card, I used the new Pure Innocence - Blowing Kisses stamp set from MFT Stamps. I paper pieced her dress and the rest of her I coloured with Copic markers.

I thought It was cute to use two different xoxo papers from the 6x6 Love Me paper pad from My Mind's Eye and then as accents added some die cut X's and O's  using a small die from the Tag Builder Blueprints 5 die-namics, also from MFT Stamps.  I'm really happy with how it turned out.

I Bee-Lieve In You - MFTWSC367

Welcome back my friends.  I hope you are having a good weekend so far.

Today I am here to share with you a card that I created for the current sketch challenge at MFT Card Challenges.

For the card I created I combined the new Meant To Bee stamp set and the older Mini Hexagon Background stamp both from MFT Stamps.

I used the background stamp by first cutting a 2 inch strip of white card stock which I covered with a powder tool, to remove any static.  I stamped the Mini Hexagon Background stamp with Versamark ink onto the strip of card stock and used Detail Snow embossing powder, which I melted, to create the pattern.  I then used the Fossilized Amber Oxide Distress ink to do some emboss resist and bring out the hexagon pattern.

Here are a couple of pictures of my finished card.

Below is a list of the supplies I used.

Simple Valentine Cards - Cards From the Heart Card Drive

Hello my friends, I just wanted to stop by really quickly and share with you 12 simple Valentine's Day cards that I made for the 2018 Cards From The Heart Card Drive, which I discovered watching Christy Gets Crafty YouTube Channel.

Winter Sims of Winter Wonderland Crafter, collects Valentine's Day cards for children that are in the hospital and this will be the first time I am participating.  Please check out Winter's blog for the full set of rules/requirements for the cards you may wish to send. A few of the most important are listed below.

 Cards need to be a Valentine theme ONLY!

Cards can't have anything about 'Get Well Soon', 'Feel Better', or anything reminding them of being sick. (Only Valentine Cards)

Please make cards that can be used for any gender or age. 

NO buttons, glitter, glitter pens, glitter glue, stickles, wink of stella, sequins, rhinestones, brads, googly eyes, or anything that looks glittery or can be pulled off and become a choking hazard. This is the hospitals rules! I know that some of the products that look glittery may seem harmless, but the hospital said NO glitter, so that's what we will do! 

The cards must be received by Winter by January 31, 2018 and are to be mailed to the following address:

Winter Sims

"Cards From the Heart Card Drive"

P.O. Box 754

Warren, TX 77664

I created my cards using some cut aparts that were in the K&Company - Ka-Zoo 12 x 12 paper pad.  They originally looked like this,

so I cut them down to remove the (to and from) from the cards.  I then framed them with card stock and popped them up with foam tape to add a little bit of dimension to the finished cards.  I also used patterned paper from the same paper pad and some coordinating card stock, with Glossy Accents being my only other addition to the cards. I made a total of twelve cards which I will being mailing to Winter. If I manage to create some more I will send them along in a separate package.

Here are all twelve finished cards.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read this post and I hope you have a wonderful day!  Kathy

Ewe Have My Heart - MFTWSC366

Helo and happy Sunday!  I finally made a card this year using a different stamp set.  I decided to make a card for the current sketch challenge at MFT Card Challenges and used the Birdie Brown - Ewe Are The Best stamp set from MFT Stamps.

I started by cutting out three little squares of white card stock with the Stitched Square Stax.  I stamped a different sheep image on the three squares and then coloured them with Copic markers.  Those squares were popped onto the card front with foam tape after adding a thin banner with a sentiment from the same stamp set.
