MHKDesigns: Skating By


Hi, friends!  It's time for another release for the MHKDesigns Etsy shop, and we have SIX sets to share with you, PLUS a couple of beautiful paper packs, as well!  Today we are showcasing the...

Skating By Digital Stamp Set

I think the image in this set is hilarious, I don't know why!  I think it's because of Miss Bossy-Pants off to the right, lol!  I decided that the sentiments needed to have a more elegant feel, and reflect both Miss Bossy-Pants and poor Master Fall-Down.  The cursive font for Miss Bossy-Pants and the block font for Master Fall-Down.  Do you like their names?! ;)  Anyway, I decided to feature Master Fall-Down on a holiday tag...check it out...


I made the tag base out of some paper from the Stenciled Roses Paper Pack.  The image from the Skating By set was colored, then Master Fall-Down was punched out and layered.  Some cheesecloth adds more texture behind this poor fellow.


The sentiment was added to the top of the tag.  I tied it onto some satin ribbon with gold elastic cording.  A green button was added for a bit more color variety to match the image.


I really LOVE the way this tag turned out!  I am not usually a tag person, but this came together rather nicely, if I do say so myself!  I'd love to hear your thoughts!  Please leave me a comment below to tell them to me! :)


For more inspiration using this gorgeous set, please check out the other gals on my team who are also showcasing this set!

Great Impressions: December Challenge


Hello again, dear friends!  It's time for another monthly challenge at Great Impressions, and our challenge is SUPER easy--it's ANYTHING GOES!  We'd love it if you linked up with an image and/or sentiment from Great Impressions, too!  Check out my creation...


For my card, I used F463 Winter Bicycle and D512 Joy.  I decided to just stamp them in traditional Christmas colors and not do anything else.  I LOVE the bold look it gave these stamped images!  


All I did to highlight them was add a bit of paper piercing, a bit of ribbon, and then add the focal panel to a card base prepped with some patterned paper and a doily quarter!  EASY! I really LOVE this card--I hope you do, too!  Please leave me a comment below to let me know your thoughts!


That's all for me today, friends.  THANK YOU so much for stopping by to take a peek at my card!  I also would love for you to come and join our monthly challenge!  If you use a stamp from the Great Impressions online store, please link it up in our Customer Gallery, too!  Until next time, HUGS and happy stamping, friends! :)

MHKDesigns: Christmas Silhouettes I


Hi, friends!  It's time for another release for the MHKDesigns Etsy shop, and we have SIX sets to share with you, PLUS a couple of beautiful paper packs, as well!  Today we are showcasing the...

Christmas Silhouettes I Digital Stamp Set

I LOVE the fun vintage silhouettes in this set, and so I coordinated them with some fun holiday sentiments.  I decided to showcase the stocking hanging silhouette--those little chubby kids are just so cute!  Take a peek..


I added some patterned papers from the Snowy Season paper pack to add some wintry snowflakes, but in a traditional color scheme.  Some doily pieces, flowers, and gold glitter accent this sweet image.


I didn't want to leave out a sentiment from this set, so I decided to add it to the inside...it just didn't work on the outside!  Of course I chose the sentiment to coordinate with the image. ;)


I really love this fun card, and I hope you do, TOO!  I think the vintage/traditional feel is just wonderful, and this will be given to a special friend this holiday season. :)  Please leave me a comment below to let me know what YOU think!

CASE-ing Christmas: Our Last Challenge


Hi, friends!  It's time for another monthly challenge at CASE-ing Christmas.  Unfortunately, this will be our last challenge.  I am needing to take a step back from things in order to focus on schooling, and this challenge is one thing I must sadly leave behind.  THANK YOU to all of your participation and support at our challenge!  You are SO appreciated!  

Our challenge this month is ANYTHING WINTER HOLIDAY GOES!  That's right!  If it's wintry or Christmasy, link it up!  We've got 3 mystery gifts up for grabs, so please join us for your chance to win one!  This challenge will only run until the 15th in order for our team to enjoy the holiday season with their friends and family.  All winners will be announced on Christmas day--the 25th!  Take a peek at my card...


I used a fun mitten die and baker's twine from Paper Sweeties for my mitten element.  The button is a retired button from Stampin' Up!.


The sentiment is from Great Impressions and is *NEW* in the store this month!  I LOVE the fun mix of fonts and how the words fall!


I made a quick video on how I completed this card to share with you how quick and easy a CAS holiday card can be...enjoy!


Thank you SO MUCH for joining in the fun with us at CASE-ing Christmas, friends!  I hope you take some time to join in the fun--I love seeing your creations!  Thank you again for all your support!  Until next time, HUGS and MERRY stamping, friends! :)
