MHKDesigns: May 2017 Challenge

Happy May, friends! It's time for another monthly challenge to begin at MHKDesigns, and this month we have a fun birthday themed inspiration for you! Of course, if you use products from the MHKDesigns Etsy Shop, it's ANYTHING GOES! But we love seeing everything you make, so link up with us! Here's this month's inspiration...

I was inspired by the colors, cakes, and polka dots! I did some layering, coloring, and glitterfying (that's a word!) to create my creation this moth. Take a peek at my completed card...

The image and sentiment are both from the Eat Your Cake! digital stamp set. I colored the image in with gel pens and added glitter to the frosting. The sentiment was printed onto vellum before being added as a pennant to the card.

The papers I used are from the Rosy Posy digital paper pack. I added some magenta glitter paper, a doily, and a gold washi star with a rhinestone in the middle to finish the card off.  I hope you like it! I'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments below! :)

Thank you so much for stopping by today, friends!  I hope you hop over to join in our monthly challenge at MHKDesigns!  There are prizes for each one, and you can use any products you'd like! :) Don't forget to leave some love with the other gals on this wonderful DT, too!

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: And Many More

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 Many More

And here is my card~

I used colored pencils to color the sweet image from the And Many More set. I used bright colors to keep this card more masculine! Some washi tape, baker's twine, and a fun button divide the image from the sentiment.

The card base was made using digital paper from the Stars and Strips digital paper pack. I LOVE the fun stripes! What do you think?  I would love to hear your thoughts in the comments below! :)

House of Cards: Gatefold Card and/or Color Inspiration

Hello, everyone!  I'm back to share a fun twist on a gatefold card with you today!  I created this card for the current House of Cards challenge which is to...

Create a gatefold card and/or use this color inspiration~

I went gatefold, but as I stated above, it's with a twist!  This card is an interlocking gatefold card.  Take a peek...

So, what makes this interlocking?  Well, the sentiment panel and its frame come apart as you open the card!  SO easy, but a HUGE WOW factor!

I used stamps from Stampin' Up! for my sentiment panel, along with Stampin' Up! dies and retired papers.  I adore these fun colors--they are perfect for a happy birthday card!

           

 

I used the same floral images and ink colors to decorate my inside panel, as well as incorporating more of the same patterned paper.  I love when the inside of the card matches the outside, don't you?!  SO fun!

I added a sweet flower, some pearls, rhinestones, and a crocheted butterfly to the front, as well as some fun hot pink gingham ribbon.  I am super happy with how this turned out, and I hope you like it, too!  I'd love for you to let me know your thoughts in the comments below!  Click HERE to hop over to YouTube for my video tutorial on how to create this fun technique, too!

Thanks so much for stopping by today, friends!  I hope you take a bit of time to come and play along with us at House of Cards.  Don't forget to stop by the other DT members' blogs for even MORE amazing inspiration--they always blow me away!  I'll be back later this month with more crafty posts!  Until then, HUGS and happy stamping, friends! :)

Inspired By Stamping: On Your Birthday

Hi, friends!  I'm back with another card using GORGEOUS products from the Inspired By Stamping store!  We're going back to weekly themes, and this week we are sharing birthday cards!  I decided to use the *NEW* Just For You set to create a fun dual tone sentiment.  Check it out!

I stamped the sentiment, from the Just For You set, in two tones of pink to give a slight shadow effect.  I love the way it turned out!  I added a few yellow flower with black pearl centers and some faux stitching to finish off this portion of the card.

I added some ribbon from the Pink Ribbon Collection, a paper sunflower, and some punched leaves above the sentiment to tie in the floral paper and stamped panel.  I love the way these colors look with the vintage patterned paper on the card base!  I did some more faux stitching on the card base panel to add more texture and tie it to the stamped base, as well.

I also added part of a yellow doily below the stamped portion to even out the card and add a bit of brightness.  I love the way this card turned out, and I hope you do, too!  I would love to hear your thoughts in the comments below!  

Once again, thank you so much for stopping by today!  That's all I have for now, but I will be back soon with more creations using gorgeous products from the Inspired By Stamping online store!  Until next time, HUGS and happy stamping to you all!
