MHKDesigns: I've Been Framed!


Hello, all!  It's time for the June 2016 release at MHKDesigns, and there are some fabulous sets coming your way!  Today's set includes five beautiful frames and five versatile sentiments--perfect for all occasions!  Take a peek at...


This set could be used for a variety of occasions, and all the different sentiments and frames create so many possible combinations, too!  I chose to go with the scripture and the heart/rose frame.  Come and see the card I created...


I colored the frame image from the You've Been Framed! set with glitter pens and Wink of Stella pen in gold.  The scripture was already added before printing, so all I had to do was fussy cut the whole thing out and then add some flowers, a glittery heart, and punched leaves to accent it.


I added some paper from the Glorious Garden paper pack to a white card base, and matted it with shimmery cardstock.  Two doily quarters add some more elegance to this portion of the card.  I think this turned out to be beautiful, and I hope you agree!  I'd love to hear your comments below! :)

MHKDesigns: Eat Your Veg!


Hello, all!  It's time for the June 2016 release at MHKDesigns, and there are some fabulous sets coming your way!  Today's set contains some fun veggies and punny sentiments--MY FAVE!  Take a peek at...


This set just screams "I LOVE YOU" in all sorts of punny ways!  I will definitely be using this set a lot to make cards for my hubby!  Come and see the card I created...


I colored the carrot image from the Eat Your Veg! set with colored pencils, then added a sentiment from the same set over the top after printing it onto vellum.  I added some enamel hearts and sequins with liquid pearl centers to accent this focal panel.


I added some papers from the Glorious Garden paper pack to a kraft card base, and matted everything with black cardstock.  Some black stitched ribbon and black pearls, in addition to punched corners, finished off this fun card.  I totally love it, and I hope you do, too!  I'd love to hear your comments below! :)

MHKDesigns: Open Bloom


Hello, all!  It's time for the June 2016 release at MHKDesigns, and there are some fabulous sets coming your way!  Today's set includes a beautiful floral image and flowery sentiments!  Take a peek at...


I adore this beautiful image--so many possibilities!  I also tried to find a few sentiments that fit the floral theme that I hadn't seen as stamps quite yet.  Come and see the card I created...


I colored three flowers, from the Open Bloom set, with Spectrum Noir markers, then fussy cut them out to create a border around the sentiment from the same set.  I added some liquid pearls to the centers of the flowers for a bit more shine.  I also tucked some pearls and rhinestones behind the blooms for a bit more embellishment.


The sentiment was matted with a black scallop circle, and added more liquid pearls to tie in the flower centers.  I adore the way it looks nestled behind these blooms!


I kept this CAS, so these elements were added to a white panel that had been dry embossed with a wood grain folder.  I chose a kraft card base to keep things looking more natural.  What do you think?  I would love to hear in the comments below! :)

Inspired By Stamping: Grungy Butterflies


Hi, friends!  I'm back with another card using beautiful stamps from Inspired By Stamping!  I used cool tones and did a bunch of different techniques.  Take a peek at the final products...


I started by creating a fun sponged background using the Polka Dots set.  First, I heat embossed the images on white cardstock with clear powder.  I then sponged the panel with different colors of purple and blue.  I sponged the edges with black ink, then sprayed the panel with glimmer mist for a bit more shine.  A bit of glitter was added in certain places along the edge for even more texture.


Next, I stamped a sentiment from the Watercolor Sentiments set and matted it with black cardstock.  I kept it simple and just added some glitter to random places around the edge.  I placed this panel on the card at an angle for more interest.


Lastly, I stamped a few butterflies from the Butterflies stamp set onto vellum.  I fussy cut them out and added them to the card.  Some glitter was added to the butterfly bodies to tie in the other glitter already on the card.  I LOVE these beautiful butterflies--they add just the right amount of elegance!


Some ribbon from the Halloween Ribbon collection, a button, purple glitter paper, a punched border, and some pearls finished this creation off.  I have to admit, I am really loving the way it turned out!  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 like my offering for today, and I hope that you go grab these beautiful products from the Inspired By Stamping store!  Also, take a little time to create something today--you know you want to!  Until next time, HUGS and happy stamping! :)
