Paper Sweeties Challenge - May 2017 Anything goes!


Hello, friends, and happy May! I am excited to share with you that I am going to be a guest for Paper Sweeties from May through July! Debbie was sweet enough to ask me back, and I am thrilled to get to work with her and the gals on this team again for a few months! It's time for the May monthly challenge, and there is a lovely photo inspiration for you. Take a peek...


I was totally inspired by those beautiful blooms and vintage looking buttons. I decided to use the Pretty Posies stamps and Pretty Posies Sweet Cuts dies to create my card. Here it is...


Debbie was kind enough to allow me to use the *SOON TO BE RELEASED* Scallop Circle Sweet Cuts dies on this card, as well! These will be MUST HAVES once they are released in a few weeks!


Some dry embossing, faux stitching, ribbon, and a sentiment from the Somewhere Over the Rainbow stamp set finish off this card. I hope you like it! I'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments below! :)


That's all for me, friends!  Thank you SO MUCH for stopping by!  I hope you come and join in the fun with us this month, and don't forget to check out the other DT makes!

Here's you list~

I'll be back later this month with some more Paper Sweeties creations!
Our release starts on the 14th, so don't forget to check out the Paper Sweeties blog for details starting that day!

HUGS and happy stamping, friends! :)

MHKDesigns: Happy Birthday!


Hello, my friends!  I don't know about you, but this month has been SUPER busy! So, what better to share with you today than a card that was SUPER quick and easy to make--but also looks bright and cheerful?! That's what I've got for ya, and it uses this month's FREEBIE PANEL from the MHKDesigns blog!  Take a peek...


This card uses an image and sentiment from the NEWLEY RELEASED "And Many More" digital stamp set from the MHKDesigns Etsy shop. I decided to keep this card simple and NOT add color to the time. Instead, I added it with embellishments and paper from the Radiant Rainbows digital paper pack!



I totally adore the way this turned out--and it would be SUPER easy to make this masculine, as well! Just change the embellies and papers! What do you think?!  I can't wait to hear your thoughts in the comments below!


Thanks so much for stopping by today, friends! Hop over to the MHKDesigns blog to grab this freebie panel, and then don't forget to use it to enter our monthly challenge in May! Until next time, HUGS and happy stamping, friends! :)

MHKDesigns: Sea Creatures


Hello, friends!  Welcome to the April 2017 Release for the MHKDesigns Etsy Shop!  I have 5 fabulous *NEW* sets to share this month--and they cover a variety of occasions!  I just know you will LOVE all the creations that my team and I have to share, as well!  Today's set is called...

And here is my card trio~

Just like yesterday's set, I utilized Photoshop to create these bubbly and summery card panels. I decided to use the same layout but change the colors. This time, I started with a mixed color palette, but using the settings in Photoshop I created three unique color combos. Keeping the main elements white helps them stand out, but not change color. :)




I added some embossing paste through a stencil to create some bubbles. To go along with the circular bubble theme, I added some stamping using bubble wrap and rhinestones. Some enamel "splatter" stickers add a wet texture to this awesome card set. So, what are your thoughts? I would love to hear your thoughts in the comments below! :)

And here is my card trio~

Once again, I utilized Photoshop to create these fun card panels. I decided to use the same layout but change the colors. This is easy peasy when you use the hue controls! I started with a more cool palette, but using the settings in Photoshop I created three unique color combos. I love them all!




I added some liquid pearls, glitter gel pen, and neon gel pen as my embellishments to the image and sentiment. A few enamel chevron pieces were added as finishing touches on each card. So, what are your thoughts on this card set? I would love to hear your thoughts in the comments below! :)
