MHKDesigns: Blessed Lily Freebie!


Hi, friends! By now, I think you all know that I have decided to do something NEW for the NEW YEAR! Each month I will be providing you with a freebie panel using that month's release set from the MHKDesigns Etsy Shop! They will all be 8" x 10" so that they can be printed and used as home decor.

This month's featured set is Blessed Lily!
To grab the FREEBIE panel, head over to 

Here's what I did with the freebie.

I printed the freebie onto thick white cardstock. I then colored the image in with Spectrum Noir markers.


I even added a bit of Spectrum Noir to the sentiment to add more depth! I love the way the yellow helps the other colors POP!


I cannot wait to frame this panel and display it in my home for Easter! I hope you like it, too! I'm looking forward to hearing your thoughts in the comments below!

MHKDesigns: Blessed Lily


Hello, friends! I hope your March is going by swimmingly! I am getting ready to go on a much needed and anticipated Spring Break! ;) But I digress. Today I'm back to share another card using the *NEW* Blessed Lily digital stamp set from the MHKDesigns Etsy Shop. Take a peek...


I used Photoshop to create my focal panel. I used watercolor brushes to color in the image from the Blessed Lily set, but kept the flower itself white. I added some glitter to the flower for added shine.


I then layered a few shapes over the lily. I recolored part of the sentiment from the Blessed Lily set (want to know how--click HERE), and then added a fun marker scribble brush behind it for more depth. A few pearls add more texture and interest to this part of the card.


I then layered the focal panel with some fun glittery papers and added them on top of each other, using alternating angles. I love the way this turned out and hope you like it, too! I can't wait to hear your thoughts in the comments below!

That's all I have for you today, friends! Thank you so much for stopping by! I always love to hear from you, so please do let me know your thoughts in the comments below! Don't forget to head over to the MHKDesigns blog for more inspiration and join in our *NEW* challenge for your chance at winning some digital goodies from the MHKDesigns Etsy Shop! Until next time, HUGS and happy {digital} stamping, friends!

MHKDesigns: March Challenge + Blessed Lily Release


Hello and happy March, everyone! I'm here today to share a card for this month's challenge at MHKDesigns. As you know, I've revamped how my Etsy shop will be running this year, so our challenge posts will ALSO include a monthly release set! This month's set is called...


And here is our challenge inspiration:

I decided to play around with Photoshop and create a two card set--one layered card, the other a one-layer card. Here are my cards...


Both of these cards use the same Photoshop-created panel and the *NEW* Blessed Lily digital stamp set. One was printed, then layered and gussied up...


And the other was kept one-layer with simple rounded corners added.


The layered card had some faux stitching added as a border. I love that using digital images make it super simple to create cards using the same product in a variety of ways! The possibilities are endless! What do you think? I would love to hear in the comments below! :)


Thanks for stopping by, friends! Come join in the fun on the MHKDesigns blog for your chance to win some digi goodies from the MHKDesigns Etsy Shop! Until next time, HUGS and happy {digital} stamping, friends!

MHKDesigns: Valentine Roses


Hi, all! I'm back with another card using the *NEWLY RELEASED* Valentine Roses digital stamp set from the MHKDesigns Etsy Shop! I used a variety of patterned paper packs to create this card, as well as this *NEW* set. Take a peek...

I created the focal panel for this card in photoshop using the Digital Paper Fill technique to "color" in the image from the Valentine Roses digital stamp set. The paper packs used are Rosy Posy, Get Well Flowers, and French Country.


I "rearranged" this simple sentiment from the Valentine Roses digital stamp set to fit inside of a circle, then recolored it using THIS technique. The sentiment circle was punched out and given dimension and I added a bit of glitter gel pen for a shiny shadow effect. A tiny enamel heart was added, as well.


Some shiny washi tape, twine, and a flower shaped button finished the focal panel off. I then matted it with black and added it to a craft card base. What do you think? I would love to hear in the comments below!


That's all I have for you today, friends! Thank you so much for stopping by! I always love to hear from you, so please do let me know your thoughts in the comments below! Don't forget to head over to the MHKDesigns blog for more inspiration and join in our *NEW* challenge for your chance at winning some digital goodies from the MHKDesigns Etsy Shop!

Sending Love to Dawn: An MHKDesigns Blog Hop


Hello, dear friends! Today the MHKDesigners are banding together to tell one of our own dear gals, Dawn Bennett, that we are thinking of her during a difficult time in her life. Dawn recently lost her mother-in-law, and we wanted to let her know how much we care! We hope you take some time to leave Dawn some love, then hop with us to see the cards our team has created in her honor.

Here is the hop order~
Judy
Rocky
Shawna
Jess
Julie
Em

Here is a sneak peek of what you will see along the way.

And here is my offering.

I used the *NEW* Sentimental Lily digital stamp set to create this card. I created my focal panel in Photoshop, then die cut it with a stitched rectangle die. 



I matted the focal panel onto navy card that was also die cut with a stitched rectangle die. I added some ribbon and enamel dots to add more texture, finish, and a bit of shine. I also added some glaze gel pen to the sentiment to create an embossed effect. I am happy with this card, and hope Dawn is, as well! What are your thoughts? Please do leave me a comment and let me know!


Dawn, please know that all of us at MHKDesigns is thinking of you and sending many prayers and well wishes! You and your family are close to our hearts during this difficult time. 

We will be randomly selecting 5 participants to receive the *NEW* Sentimental Lily digital stamp set from the MHKDesigns shop on the 15th of this month. Thank you for helping us show Dawn how much she and her family are loved and cared for! Until next time, hugs and happy {digital} stamping!
