MFT Sketch 404 - You're FAB-BOO-LOUS

Today I have a fun Halloween card that I made for an eight year old boy.  This week's MFT sketch lends itself to a good format for a maze game type of card.

I used the MFT Fab-BOO-lous Friends stamp and die set for the main images, and the cloud stencil to create a background piece.  All of the MFT supplies I used are listed below.

Thanks very much for taking a closer look at my card, and have a fabulous day!

MFT Sketch 403 & Color 101 - Hello There

Hello there, and thanks for stopping by to take a closer look at my card for the current MFT sketch and color challenges.

Summer Splash, Tropical Teal, Wild Cherry and Coral Crush is a pretty combination for the color challenge.  I used MFT Summer Splash and Cherry Crisp card stock, Copic markers to add some teal and coral, and gray and black as my neutrals.

Two sizes of Copic colored blooms from the MFT Sketchy Flowers set made a quick and easy focal point for my card based on the sketch challenge.  I added some white dots to the blooms, and few pieces of clear confetti for a bit of sparkle.




 

MFT Supplies:
Sketchy Flowers stamps and dies
More Essential Sentiments stamp
Slanted Sentiment Strips die

MFTStamps 2018 Card Design Superstar - Clean & Simple Genius

Since the launch of the 2018 Card Design Superstar challenge, I've been away from my craft desk a good bit, but I did have time to make a Clean & Simple Genius category entry.  The MFT contest  post with all the rules can be seen here.

CAS cards truly are a challenge for me.  I always want to add one more thing.  I love the look of them when other people make them, but for some reason I often think mine look incomplete.  Having said that, I feel good about the CAS card I made for this challenge, and it's another card ready to donate to Send A Smile 4 Kids too.
 
The largest die from the Pierced Star STAX set was used to cut three stars, one white and two Elf Green.  The stars were glued and stacked with the white one on top, and then adhered to a piece of white card stock that was die cut with the largest A2 Rectangle STAX die.  Another piece of Elf Green card stock was cut to 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 inches and was adhered to the back of the slightly smaller white panel. 

The cute little jumping Santa from the Jingle All the Way set was stamped and colored with Copic markers.  Clear Wink of Stella was added to the fur trim on Santa's hat, then Santa was die cut and adhered to the star.  The sentiment was stamped and clear heat embossed.  The small metallic silver embellishment stars were cut with the star die from the Circle Shaker Window and Frame set.

Thanks very much for stopping by to take a closer look at my card.  And good luck to all of the other card makers that participated this year.  There are so many inspiring and beautiful entries!

MFT Sketch 402 - Boo!

For this week's MFT sketch, I made a Halloween card for a little boy, Jackson.  I think the MFT Super Boy is perfect for him as he has several serious and chronic health issues that he faces everyday.  He' a great little guy, and I want to wish him a very happy Halloween.

The Super Boy is colored with Copic markers, and all products are MFT except the little "Boo!" bag which I decided to use in place of the sentiment strip on the sketch, and the grass boarder die.

Thanks so much for stopping by to take a look at my card.  I hope you have a super day!
