Happy Valentine's Day! MFT Creative Olympics Event 3 Crafty Biathalon

-




I created this card today for the MFT Creative Olympics Event 3, Crafty Biathlon.  I don't have a ton of MFT stamps so I'm having to get creative!  This took me a while to stamp & emboss, but this is such an adorable set of images, right?  I chose a gatefold card, but I off centered the fold, and for the technique I went with Emboss Resist.   The stamps are from "Friends in the Forest" by MFT.

I embossed with red & white embossing powders and used several images from the set.  Next, I brayered Picked Rasberry Distress Oxide Ink to get a pink gradient, then I wiped away the ink from the white embossing.  I splashed that with some water (and added some morning dew Nuvo drops to look like water droplets).  Next, I used MFT Tag Builder Blueprints 2 and basically used two of the tops to create holes for baker's twine.  I also added a red button and some 1/4" white grosgrain ribbon I found at Wal-mart for $1.  I hot glued that so it won't fall off.  I used some of the circles from the tag dies and placed a silver sequin in the middle and then added a few more sequins to finish this card.  Whew!

Viva La Verve April 2018 Sketch

This is such a beautiful sketch!  I chose to keep the square the same as the base layer but I added an eyelet to the upper right corner.  I used the super cute and fun Stampin' Up! Bubble Over DSP, lemon lime twist cardstock and white cardstock.  I embossed the sentiment from Stapmin' Up! Picture Perfect and I'm down to the bottom of my jar and so that is why its bumpy as opposed to smooth so time to throw that out.  I can't find my other set of circle dies so until I do, I will have to use these wonky stitched circles.  I cut and layered various sizes because I usually layer my cards heavily!  For finishing touches, I added enamel dots and a lime green button plus a striped star and adhered looped, white bakers twine beneath the largest circle.  Thanks for taking a peek! I am also including this in the.   Inspire. Create Challenge #015 .  I created this for a male so I think it meets the criteria.

MOJO Monday Sketch 506

For this card I followed the Mojo Monday Sketch 506 .  I used Stampin' Up's Bottles & Bubbles dies and Stampin' Up's Bubble Over DSP which was a Sale-A-Bration item in 2018 and super cute!  I am a paper hoarder and sometimes find it difficult to cut the papers, but I'm coming around.  I took advantage of Stampin Up's current Demonstrator offer which gets you $175 worth of product for only $99.  Shipping is Free!  I loaded up on papers!   So all the papers, the bottle, and the caps, came from the same paper set.  I used Fresh Fig linen ribbon under the bottle and I added some dew drops to accent.  Don't you think it is so hard to place these little dew drops?  I think I did OK with this card, but often I find it don't look quite right.   Other people don't seem to have that problem.  Anyway, I added two 1/8" eyelets in black to balance off the card.  For the sentiment I used a Paper Pumpkin Stamp (I think Febru...

Hearts and More Hearts...

I hope I can get all my valentine's sent out!  Thanks for looking.  The heart is die cut using Berry Burst cardstock.  The patterned paper is from an Recollections old paper pad (Burgundy Rose I think), its pretty close to Powder Pink.  The stamp and heart dies came from Aliexpress. The button is Stampin' Up! and the gold twine was something I had (origin unknown).  I did ink the edges of the paper and the rough edge panel is from a rectangle die set that I got from Aliexpress. I went back in and added two more eyelets and I a little black layer under the sentiment and I think that looks better.  I really like this card!
