MHKDesigns + House of Cards: Quote Tree


Hello, friends!  It's the first of the month, so that means it's time for me to share a project using digital elements from the MHKDesigns Etsy Shop!  Today's card is also for the current House of Cards challenge.  This month we're asking you to...

...add a bird and/or be inspired by these colors.~

Because I love birds, I chose to go with the add a bird option!  I think I got a few of the colors in, as well, though. ;)  Take a peek at my card...


I used papers from the Cheerful Chirpings, Country Farm, and Glorious Garden paper packs for my creation.  I went with a frame and sentiment from the I've Been Framed digital stamp set because it fit perfectly with the theme I was going for.  The framed sentiment was printed onto vellum so that you can see through to the paper behind it.


I added die cut leaves, grass, and some sweet yellow-ish orange metallic flowers that were sent to me by my friend Cohenna!  Aren't they beautiful?  I love them! :) 


I really think this card turned out to be super fun!  I love the way all these patterns go together, and I really adore the way my sentiment tree turned out. :)  I hope you like the final product, as well!  I can't wait to hear your thoughts in the comments below!


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.  I hope you join the monthly challenge we have going on at MHKDesigns, as well!  Grab these goodies from the Etsy shop and get crafting today!  I'll be back later this month with more crafty posts!  Until then, HUGS and happy stamping, friends! :)

MHKDesigns: August Challenge


Hello, everyone!  I am back today with another card for our new challenge over at MHKDesigns!  We have a really pretty photo/color inspiration for you this month, and I can't wait to see what you create with it!  Take a look at the inspiration...


And here is my take on this challenge~

I used the image from the *NEW* Pansy Corner digital stamp set as my focal point.  I kept it black and white to keep this card totally simple.  


The sentiment is from the Birds & Branches set and was printed onto vellum and added as a stapled banner over the image.  I love the way vellum adds another level of elegance to a creation!


I used papers from the Egg-cellent Easter, Easter Flowers, and Twinkle Twinkle Little Dots paper packs.  A punched border, some rhinestones, and a lot of gray matting completed this card.  I really do love the way it turned out, and I hope you do, too!  Please do leave me a comment below to let me know your thoughts! :)


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: Pansy Corner


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 fall holidays this month!  I hope you grab them for your stash!  Today we are featuring the *NEW*...


Take a peek at my creation...

I just love this beautiful floral bouquet image from the Pansy Corner set!  I decided to make it the focal image and I colored it in with Spectrum Noir markers, then added some glitter to the blooms to mimic dew.  The sentiment was printed on the same panel, and some liquid pearls were added as an anchor/border to the bottom of this focal panel.


I was excited about how the colors that I chose came together to create a beautiful end of summer bouquet!  What do you think of my creation?  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...
