MFT Sketch 469 - You've Got Mail

Hello, and thanks for stopping by.

Today I have a card for the current MFT Sketch Challenge.  

I'm starting to work on cards for Christina Hor's Cards for Little Hearts heart theme card drive.  You can read about the card drive here.  The weekly sketch challenges provide a great jumping point for me.

I used an older MFT set, You've Got Mail, for the main focal image.  The image was colored with Copic markers.  The background was made using a MFT stencil and Ranger Spun Sugar Distress Ink. The three hearts were die cut from pink vellum from my stash. 
 

MFT Supplies:
You've Got Mail stamps and die
Stitched Heart STAX die
A2 Rectangle STAX dies
Full of Heart stencil

25 Days of Christmas Tags 2019 - Bonus Day 26

Today I have the last tag for Tracey McNeely's 25 Days of Christmas Tags.  You can read about Tracey's fun event and play along here.

Today's guest is Hello Bluebird.  They have some adorable images and the designer's have tons of tag inspiration on the blog.

I thought Anja's (here) red, multiple shade of blue, and kraft tags were super cute.  I love the colors, her coloring is beautiful, and the array of layouts are terrific.

I made a tag to match a kraft and silver gift bag.  Since I don't have any Hello Bluebird products, I used a deer from the MFT Dashing Deer set for my main image.  All of the supplies are listed below.

Many thanks to Hello Bluebird, Anja, and all the designer's for their inspiration.

It's been a great event, and I'm all set with 26 gift tags to match wrapping paper and gift bags that I have on hand.

Dashing Deer stamps and die
Tag Builder Blueprints 4

Smooth White, Red Hot, Blue Yonder and Silver Shine card stock

25 Days of Christmas Tags 2019 - Day 25

Hello, and thanks for stopping by.

Today is day 25 of Tracey McNeeley's 25 Days of Christmas Tags.  You can read about Tracey's fun event and play along here.

Honey Bee Stamps is Tracey's guest today.  There are so many creative tags on the blog.  I especially like Emily's tag, seen here.   The background, colors and shape of it are so pretty.

I needed to make a tag for a red and gold gift bag.  My tag is bold, not soft and pretty like Emily's, and I like the shape of hers much better, but this works for my purposes.

I used a Lil' Inker Designs cover up die for my lattice piece, and Essentials by Ellen dies for the sentiment and gold berry stems.  All of the supplies are listed below.

Thank you to Honey Bee Stamps, Emily, and all the designers for their participation and beautiful inspiration.

Twenty-five down, and one bonus day to go!

25 Days of Christmas Tags 2019 - Day 24

We are almost to the end of  Tracey McNeeley's 25 Days of Christmas Tags.  You can read about Tracey's fun event and play along here.

Heffy Doodle is the sponsor for day 24.  The blog is full of super cute tags.  I used Mona's sweet Christmas fairy shaker tag (here) as inspiration for my candy tin tag.

I don't have any Heffy Doodle supplies, so I used my Pixie Dust set by AveryElle.  They were Tracey's sponsor on day 6.  I colored my little fairy with Copic markers.  All of the supplies are listed below.

Many thanks to Heffy Doodle, Mona, and all the designers for the adorable inspiration.

Twenty-four down, one to go!
