MFT Creative Olympics Event 1

-




Well it turned out to be pretty dreary day,  so I decided to put this card together.  I watched a video this morning on the MFT Channel and learned they are doing an MFT Creative Olympics and I love expressing my creativity so I'm joining in!  I went ahead and went with the color palette for the MFT Color Challenge 87.

This card is for Event 1, Stamping Slalom, and the challenge is to create a card using images from 3 different MFT Stamp Sets.  I used:

MFT Pinstripe Background Stamp
MFT Friends in the Forest
MFT Wild Woodland


I used the tiny stamp from Wild Woodland to stamp out the pink background and I think it is so cute!  I cut that panel using Wonky Stitched Rectangle dies.  I also added some dots to the background in addition to the little leaf.  The pink is Picked Raspberry Distress Oxide Ink and I brayered that onto white cardstock to get a gradient color effect.  The images are stamped using the same ink.  I layered the pink panel on black and added two white eyelets to the side of the black layer. 

Next, I embossed the Pinstripe background stamp using white embossing powder on black cardstock.  I stamped it at a diagonal angle because I think that looks a little better than being parallel or perpendicular.  MFT is the only one who makes a Pinstripe stamp!  I just got it, but you can also make small graph backgrounds by rotating it.  I'll be doing that in the near future.  The sentiment and the bear came from Friends in the Forest.  I stamped the bear and die cut it out in a heart then colored with color pencils.  I embossed the sentiment with white embossing powder and die cut that out with a banner die.  I also cut a second banner out of some corrugated glitter paper.  I adhered all the panels down to a white A2 base and then I added a scalloped border under that to embellishment it even more.  Yes, I go overboard on embellishing!  Finally I added three different silver sequins and decided to add a little heart and pink binder clip.  For the photo I added a glitter banner as a prop!  Thanks for looking!

February 2018 Paper Pumpkin Unboxing and Alternative Projects

Happy Birthday to me! Today is my birthday and I received a sweet gift of 132 Prismacolor Premier pencils!  I may post those if I can find the time. Here is my Paper Pumpkin Alternative showcase for this month (Lol).  I put these together fairly quickly and still have lots of kit to spare!  My favorite item was the linen thread, so glad to add that to my growing collection.  I am currently a demonstrator but I'm not sure I will be after March, I may not have enough sales to remain a demonstrator.  However, I love Stampin' Up! products and I do plan to continue my Paper Pumpkin subscription for now, so I'll post my monthly projects.  I have two videos for these cards you can view them below.  TFL. I just saw my Paper Pumpkin unboxing video had 52 likes!  To see this video:  https://youtu.be/DLlxibr2pA8 My second video is uploading so I'll update the post once that video is live.

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 February 2018, but not

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.
