Otter-ly Adorable!

Hi, friends! Thanks for stopping by today! I have an otter-ly adorable card to share with you! It's got a CAS feel and two darling creatures on it! Take a peek...

I made this card for my best friend--my husband! I saw these darling otter dies at Poppy Stamps, and I KNEW I had to have them! I adore all animals, but especially ones that lend themselves to a good pun! And otters naturally do! The sentiment is from Avery Elle. I added some punched hearts and black liquid pearl accents, and a strip of patterned paper from The Stamps of Life to mimic water behind the pair of furry friends.

I totally LOVE the way this turned out! I hope that you like it, too! I would love to hear your thoughts in the comments below!

MHKDesigns: June Photo Inspiration Challenge

Happy June, friends! It's time for another monthly challenge to begin at MHKDesigns, and this month we have a seashore summer 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 sea theme and colors of the photo. I decided to use the Sea Creatures digital stamp set from the MHKDesigns Etsy Shop to create a fun birthday card! Take a peek...

I created my panel in Photoshop using various brushes and the Sea Creatures digital stamp set. I used various shades of blue that fade into white to give depth and made the fish images white. I love the contrast! I kept the sentiment black so that it would stand out and draw the eye to it.

Some faux stitching, twine, and a button finished off my card. I really love the masculine feel, but it could be for anyone who loves the ocean! What do you think? I would 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!

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! :)

MHKDesigns: Introducing The Write Stuff!

Hello, friends!  It is time for another release for the MHKDesigns Etsy Shop, and I have some super fun sets and papers coming your way!  This month, we're releasing sets that can be used year round--including a masculine set--and I hope you grab them for your stash!  Today we are featuring the *NEW*...

The Write Stuff set!  

This set is absolutely PERFECT for the man in your life!  I think this will be the set I use to make my hubby's Valentine next year. ;)  For today, though, I went monochromatic.  Check it out...

For the focal panel, all I needed to do was print the writing hand image from the *NEW* The Write Stuff set onto cardstock and stencil around it with a couple different inks.  I like the way the brown makes the black image POP!

The sentiment, also from The Write Stuff, was printed, punched out as a circle, sponged, and matted before adding it to the card.  Some glitter adds some texture and shine.

A couple of buttons, a brad, more glitter, and paper from the World Traveler digital paper pack finished off this manly creation.  I really love the way this masculine card turned out, and I hope you do, as well!  I would 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...
