My Favorite Things Camp Create Day 3: Spectacular Shakers

For the third day of the MFT's Camp Create challenge we are to make a project with a shaker element. At this time of year I usually start making my Christmas projects, so I decided to make a Christmas shaker card for this project.

I thought it would be interesting to create the shaker within the die cut Merry Christmas. I die cut the words out of both white card stock, then out of the plaid background to create the window. I added acetate to the back of the opening in the plaid paper, then added dimensional tape around it, and all around the edges of the paper. I used a white card base, and where I knew the shaker window would be, I added my sequins and microbeads, then attached the plaid piece with the window on top. I then adhered the white die cut Merry Christmas to the top of the window. To finish it off, I added some die cut snowflakes.  I really liked how it turned out so much that I made a couple of them, and I'm sure I will be making more.

Now on to day 4!

MY Favorite Things Camp Create Day 2: Remarcable Resist

For this challenge we had to use the emboss resist technique for our project.

For this card, I embossed these cute little lady bugs and flowers that I had in my stash of stamps using white embossing powder. I inked over them with Distress Oxide inks, Spiced Marmalade, Abandoned Coral, and Fossilized Amber, then rubbed over it with a paper towel to bring out the embossed  images more. I stamped the word hello from another stamp set I had with Abandoned Coral, sprinkled clear embossing powder over it, heat set it, then inked the edges with spiced marmalade.

Now on to the next challenge...:-)

My Favorite Things Camp Create 2019 Day 1: Wonderful Watercolor

It's summer time, and that means it's time for this years My Favorite Things Camp Create. For the first challenge of this session we are to incorporate water coloring in our creations.

For my card, I first made a galaxy watercolor background, then added stamped and colored images from the Out of This World stamp set from Lawn Fawn. I wanted it to look as if someone where looking out the window of a rocket, so I cut out a circle frame out of mirror paper and added acetate for the glass on the window. I cut out a circle on some grey metallic card stock, and added my window to that. I decided to give it a shaker element by adding a few stars inside. I used one of the sentiments from the same stamp set. 

I had a lot of fun making this card, I just love that little astronaut....he is just too cute. See you at the next challenge. 

52 Christmas Card Throwdown Color Challenge: Lime Green and Hot Pink

Hello everyone, it's hard to believe it is September already, and I continue to be busy making Christmas cards for this holiday season, which I've probably been doing since July...lol! One great way to get some of them done is joining in on the fun at the 52 Christmas Card Throwdown.



 This week's challenge is to make cards using the colors lime green and hot pink. I always loved the pink and green color combination, and I was happily up for the challenge.

I just received my Simply Celebrate Winter stamp set by Lawn Fawn. I colored these little snowmen with Copic markers in green and pink, fussy cut them out ( haven't purchased the matching dies yet ) and attached them to a piece of lime green card stock that I stamped with the sentiment that is included in the set, and embossed with a dot embossing folder that I had on hand. I added a pink mat, and adhered that to a piece of white card stock that I stamped with some snow clusters in pink and green to continue with the green and pink theme. I added strips of the same green card stock and then adhered it all to a white card base. I wanted to add a little more to it, so I added some die cut snowflakes that I had in my extra die cuts stash and added rhinestones to the middles.

I had so much fun making this card, and was so pleased with how it came out, that I'm sure I'll be making more of them.

My Favorite Things Summer School: Ombre

This is the last day of this MFT Summer school for this session, and the assignment this time is to create something using the ombre techneque.

I started my card by heat embossing images using white embossing powder and some stamps that I had in my stash, then created the ombre effect using three different Distress Oxide colors, Worn Lipstick, Picked Raspberry, and Candied Apple.  I didn't add a sentiment to it because I'm not sure what I want to use it for yet. I know my techneque needs a little more practice, and it all looks a little smoother in person, without as much blotchiness, but I like the way it turned out, and that is what these challenges are all about, to learn a little something.

I hope you enjoyed checking out my creations for this challenge as much as I enjoyed creating them. I'll see you when I post my next project.

MY Favorite Things Summer School Session 2: Rainbows

Hi there, it's time for another assignment at the MFT Summer Camp. This one is to create a project using a rainbow pattern.

For my card, I used a panel that was from a project that I did a while back. I had made a larger rainbow panel using strips of colored card stock glued to a white piece of card stock, then cut that one up into different sized pieces for what I needed. I had some of these pieces left, so I thought I would use one of them for this project.

To start with, I used a die with stars on it from Memory Box, I can't remember what it was called because I don't have the packaging, but even individual star dies would do. I used the die on a blue piece of card stock, then adhered the rainbow panel under the cut out portion. I added a Happy Birthday cut out that I made from another die I had on hand, and added that to the panel. You might not see it on the screen, but I added some clear Wink of Stella on the Happy Birthday to add some sparkle.

Thanks for stopping by, and I'll see you for the next assignment.

My Favorite Things Summer School: Visual Triangle

For today's assignment at this MFT Summer School session, we are to create a project using a visual triangle.

I chose to make my visual triangle as a cluster, using three images from the Ink on 3 Magic Dragons stamp set. I colored them with Copic markers and placed them on a stamped background using the gem stamps from the same stamp set. I just love this little guy.

I hope you enjoyed checking out my project, and I'll see you for the next assignment.
