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~

MHKDesigns: Chicken In

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*...

Chicken In set!  

This set makes me happy...it's vintage AND punny! ;)  I decided to pair this set with the Country Farm papers.  Take a peek...

I kept the focal image (from the *NEW* Chicken In digital stamp set) simple--I printed it out onto white cardstock and then added a bit of color with glitter gel pen.  I love the shine it adds to this fun vintage farm image!

The sentiment, also from the *NEW* Chicken In digital stamp set, is framed by a couple paper flower, a button, and some red seam binding ribbon.  I decided to pair a fun vintage print font with a textured calligraphy/cursive font and I love the way these sentiments all turned out!  Oh, and PUNS! ;)

I used the brown chicken wire paper from the Country Farms paper pack as my card base with some dark brown card as my matting color.  A bit of the turquoise stone wash paper from the Country Farms pack adds just a bit more color.  Cheesecloth gives the card some extra texture.  I really love the way this card turned out, and I hope you do, too!  I'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments below!

MHKDesigns: Interlocking Gatefold Card

Hi, friends!  I'm here today to share a fun fold card that uses some awesome products from the MHKDesigns Etsy Shop, and I've also got a video tutorial on how I created this card!  Take a peek at the final product...

This card is called an interlocking gatefold card.  It utilizes dies to create a fun fold that opens in a very unique way!  I chose to use a sentiment from the Lift Me Higher digital stamp set and the image from the Simple Rose digital stamp set for the outside of my card.  The paper is from the Autumnal Accents digital paper pack.

I also chose to decorate the inside of the card.  I used more of the same paper from the Autumnal Accents digital paper pack and another sentiment from the Lift Me Higher digital stamp set to tie it all in together.  

A few pearls and a glittery foam heart were the only embellishments needed for this unique card!  I really like the way this turned out, and I hope you do, as well!  Click HERE to go to my YouTube channel for the video tutorial on how to make your own interlocking gatefold card! :)  I can't wait to hear what you think in the comments below!

Thanks so much for stopping by today, friends!  I hope you join the monthly challenge we have going on at MHKDesigns!  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! :)

House of Cards: Gatefold Card and/or Color Inspiration

Hello, everyone!  I'm back to share a fun twist on a gatefold card with you today!  I created this card for the current House of Cards challenge which is to...

Create a gatefold card and/or use this color inspiration~

I went gatefold, but as I stated above, it's with a twist!  This card is an interlocking gatefold card.  Take a peek...

So, what makes this interlocking?  Well, the sentiment panel and its frame come apart as you open the card!  SO easy, but a HUGE WOW factor!

I used stamps from Stampin' Up! for my sentiment panel, along with Stampin' Up! dies and retired papers.  I adore these fun colors--they are perfect for a happy birthday card!

           

 

I used the same floral images and ink colors to decorate my inside panel, as well as incorporating more of the same patterned paper.  I love when the inside of the card matches the outside, don't you?!  SO fun!

I added a sweet flower, some pearls, rhinestones, and a crocheted butterfly to the front, as well as some fun hot pink gingham ribbon.  I am super happy with how this turned out, and I hope you like it, too!  I'd love for you to let me know your thoughts in the comments below!  Click HERE to hop over to YouTube for my video tutorial on how to create this fun technique, too!

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.  Don't forget to stop by the other DT members' blogs for even MORE amazing inspiration--they always blow me away!  I'll be back later this month with more crafty posts!  Until then, HUGS and happy stamping, friends! :)
