Unicorn Sparkle

Hello my friends and welcome back. I can't believe it's the last day of May already, this year is just flying by.

Today I am here to share four cards that are variations of each other, using the Magical Unicorn stamps and coordinating dies from Pink Fresh Studio.  I have had the set for about a month but this is the first time I have taken it out to plashes set is so much fun and I still have a stack of stamped and cut unicorn horns that I can use to make more cards/or projects.

For the first card I heat embossed a sentiment on the front and for the other three I decided to skip that step and added some "blush" instead. For the first blush I used a finger dauber and some Hero Arts shadow Ink but for the last two, which I like much better, I used Spun Sugar Distress Ink.

Below is a list of the supplies I used.

Stamps: Pink Fresh Studio - Magical Unicorn
Dies: Pink Fresh Studio - Magical Unicorn,  MFT Stamps - Blueprints 13 and 20
Inks: Hero Arts - Soft Pink,  Bubble Gum,  Grape Juice, Lime Green  Versafine - Onyx Black,  Simon Says Stamp - Intense Black,  Distress Ink - Spun Sugar
Other: Recollections - 110lb White and Pink card stocks and 65 lb Purple and Green card stocks,  Detail Silver Embossing Powder,  Stickles - Diamond and Purple,  Flatback Pearls and Foam Tape

I would highly recommend this stamp and die set, since I had so much fun with it.

Thank you so much for dropping by and I hope you have a wonderful evening.  Kathy

Thank You Tea

Hello my friends and welcome back.  Today I am sharing a card I created for the Spring-Summer Coffee Lovers blog hop. To participate, created a new Spring/Summer themed Coffee, Tea or Cocoa project.

For my card I used the older Cup of Tea stamp set and the Tea Party die-nmaics both from MFT Stamps.  I stamped the Flowers and Leaves on the tea cups with Soft Cantaloupe and Mint Julep shadow inks from Hero Arts.  I also swiped the ink pads over some white card stock and then cut out a couple of flowers and leaves using additional dies from MFT Stamps, so that they would match perfectly with the cups.

I also cut the tea bag and tag twice and sandwiched the cord into between each layer.  The top tea cup was popped up with foam tape, leaving a space where the tea bag could come in and out.

I'm super happy with how the card turned out.

Below is a list of the supplies I used.

Stamps: MFT Stamps - Laina Lamb-Cup of Tea,  Interactive Labels
Dies: MFT Stamps - Laina Lamb-Tea Party, Blueprints 3 (Flowers) & Blueprints 13, Branch with Leaves (Leaves),  Stitched Basic Edges 2 and Stitched Scallop Basic Edges 2
Inks: Haro Arts - Soft Cantaloupe and Mint Julep,  Versafine - Onyx Black
Other: Recollections - 110lb White Card Stock,  My Mind's Eye - Market 6x6 paper pad,  American Crafts - 10lb White Hemp Cord,  Foam Tape

Thank you so much for dropping by and I hope you are able to join in the fun.

Have a wonderful day! Kathy

Rain or Shine

Hello my friends and welcome back again.  Today I am sharing another card I created using the Birdie Brown - Rain or Shine stamp set from MFT Stamps.

I coloured ll of the stamped images with Copic markers and I added some highlights with a white gel pen.  The sky was created using some distress inks that I blended onto some white card stock and then sprayed with water, which I blotted with some paper towels.

I'm pretty happy with the "sidewalk" I created using the largest die from the Blueprints 13 die-namics, which added a stitched outline on all four side of the rectangle.  I then used the single stitched line from the same Blueprints set to add the breaks in the sidewalk. I think it turned out so well.

Here are a couple of pictures of the finished card.

Below is a list of the supplies I used.

Stamps: MFT Stamps - Birdie Brown-Rain or Shine
Dies: MFT Stamps - Blueprints 13 and Grassy Fields
Inks: Simon Says Stamp - Intense Black,  Versafine - Onyx Black,  Distress Inks - Broken China and Mermaid Lagoon

I'm Here For You

Hello my friends, I'm back today sharing a card I created with a stamp set I just bought from MFT Stamps called Puddle Jumper.  This stamp set is the perfect companion to another set called Rain or Shine, also from MFT Stamps, which was released at the same time. (I'll be back soon with a card or two using that set as well.)

I created the background using three different Distress Inks and watercolor paper.  The first thing I did was smoosh the inks onto a Ranger non-stick craft sheet and then I sprayed the ink with some water so that the ink pooled up.  I then took a piece of Tim Holtz watercolor card stock and pounce it into the ink several times, drying it in between each layer of ink.  I also added a few splatters of ink using a paint brush.

The little boy in this stamp set is absolutely adorable, I so loved colouring him up with Copic markers.  I popped him up on the card front with some foam tape to add a bit of dimension to the finished card.

Below is a list of the supplies I used.

Stamps: MFT Stamps - Birdie Brown - Puddle Jumper, Rain or Shine (Sentiment)
Dies: MFT Stamps - Blueprints 13, Memory Box - Puffy Clouds
Inks: Simon Says Stamp - Intense Black,  Versafine - Onyx Black,  Distress Ink - Faded Jeans, Evergreen Bough and Hickory Smoke
Copic Markers:  Skin - E11, E33, V15, R22  Hair - E21, E25, E27  Yellow - Y02, Y15, Y17  Green - G05, G12, G14  Jeans - B93, B95, B97, B99  Shirt - R24, R39
Other: Recollections - 110lb White card stock,  Spectrum Noir - 100lb Ultra Smooth Premium White card stock,  Ranger/Tim Holtz - Distress Water-colour card stock,  Sakura - Black Glaze Pen and White Gel Pen,  Foam Tape
