MHKDesigns: November Challenge

Hi, friends! I'm here to share some cards I made using the inspiration from this month's challenge at MHKDesigns! It's November, so that means it's the last challenge of the year so that our team can have a holiday break! I do hope you'll come and play along! Take a peek at this month's inspiration...

I am in love with the sweet vintage images in this inspiration AND the holly theme! I decided to make another card trio using the same layout in different color schemes. Here is the set...

I colored this image digitally in Photoshop. The original color scheme was a cheery traditional bright red and green like in the photo inspiration! I used the Deck the Halls set and paper from the Stars & Stripes paper pack for this CAS offering...

Next up I softened the colors and used papers from the Simply Seasonal paper pack. I just love that you can use so many different papers with the same layout to get a completely new feel!

Last but not least, I went for a nontraditional pink and green! I love the vintage feel of this card--I used distressed papers from the Fully Feathered paper pack for this one!

A sprinkling of rhinestones and black matting finished off this set! I think they will mail easily and pack a festive BANG when opened! What do you think? I would love to hear your thoughts in the comments below!

Thanks for stopping by, friends! Come join in the fun on the MHKDesigns blog for your chance to win some digi goodies from the MHKDesigns Etsy Shop! Until next time, HUGS and happy {digital} stamping, friends!

MHKDesigns: August 2017 Release - Christmas Frames

Hello, friends!  Welcome to the August 2017 Release for the MHKDesigns Etsy Shop!  We have 5 fabulous  new sets to share this month and they cover MANY 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...

Christmas Frames

 

And here is my card~

I used Photoshop to create the focal panel for this card. The Christmas Frames image and sentiment went perfectly with some "carpet" made with paper from the Deck the Halls digital paper pack! 

I added some rhinestones, glitter gel pen (candle flames) and Glaze gel pen (the heart in the sentiment) as finishing touches. The focal panel was then matted and added to a card base made with paper from the Simply Seasonal digital paper pack. What do you think? I would love to hear your thoughts in the comments below!

MHKDesigns: Christmas in July!

Hello, friends! This month on the MHKDesigns blog we are celebrating Christmas in July! It's my turn to post, and I've got a fun tag that uses digital stamps from the MHKDesigns Etsy shop. Take a peek...

This tag uses an image from the Deck the Halls digital stamp set. I colored the image with various Sakura gel pens, including a metallic green pen to outline the leaf veins and a red Glaze pen for the berries. I love the shine and texture it adds!

The sentiment, also from the Deck the Halls digital stamp set, was punched out and layered, then some liquid pearls were added around the scallop circle matting. Some ribbon, a button, and some twine decorate the top of the tag. So fun!

I decided to add some eyelets to the holes punched in this tag to keep it from tearing and I also rounded the corners of the bottom of the tag to mirror the scallop matting of the sentiment. I am super happy with how this turned out! What do you think? I'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments below!

That's all I have for you today, friends! Thank you so much for stopping by! I always love to hear from you, so please do let me know your thoughts in the comments below! Don't forget to head over to the MHKDesigns blog for more inspiration and join in our challenge for your chance at winning some digital goodies from the MHKDesigns Etsy Shop! Until next time, HUGS and happy {digital} stamping, friends!

MHKDesigns: Season's Greetings

Hello, friends!  Welcome to the June 2017 Release for the MHKDesigns Etsy Shop!  I have 5 fabulous  new sets to share this month and they cover MANY 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...

Season's Greetings

And here is my card set~

When I go to make Christmas cards, I usually go overboard and then find it difficult to mail them! Too many embellishments. So, I decided to keep these cards SUPER CAS and see what the result would be. I know it's not too clear from the photo, but the only embellishment on these is some Stickles in Diamond Dust in strategic areas all over each image. 

I think the final product is the perfect mail-able, and still festive, holiday card! What do you think?! I'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments below! :)

And now, let's talk about how to get this new set OR the entire release for FREE!  Here's what you'll need to do...
