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...

Sea Creatures

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 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...

1. Comment here on the MHKDesigns blog.
2. Comment on each DT member's blog.
3. Join our MHKDesigners and Friends Facebook group and comment there.

I'll be choosing comments randomly from all these places after the release is over, and the authors of those comments will be our winners!  So, the best way to win is to comment every day!  We LOVE the feedback you give us! :)  Here's the list of blogs for you to visit today...

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...

MHKDesigns: Various Vehicles

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!  There are a few "anytime" sets, and we're also looking ahead to a few winter holidays this month!  I hope you grab them for your stash!  Today we are featuring the *NEW*...

Various Vehicles set!  

Masculine cards are difficult for me, but this set made it super easy!  I paired this set with the matching digital papers from the World Traveler digital paper pack.  Take a peek...

I did some sponging to create a scene for the truck image from the *NEW* Various Vehicles digital stamp set.  It added just the right amount of color and texture--I love it!  I kept the sentiment on the same panel to make things even easier--men don't usually like a lot of fuss. ;)

The only accents I needed to add were a bit of twine, a button, and some liquid pearls to look like brads.  Voila!  What do you think of the final product?  I would LOVE to hear your thoughts in the comments below! :)

I'm entering this card into these fabulous challenges~
