MFT Stamps Sketch Chalenge 502 - Wishing You the Happiest BIrthday Ever

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

For the background, I used a panel inked up with Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide ink and the MFT Mini Cloud Edges stencil.  I decided not to cut it, and used circle die cut frame to highlight the focal point per the sketch instead.  The unicorn from the MFT Fairly Tale Friends stamp set is colored with Copic markers.

All of the MFT supplies are listed below.  Thanks for stopping by, and have a magical day!

Wedding Box Card

Hello, and thanks for stopping by to take a look at the wedding box card that I made for our nephew and his bride.

Like so many other couples this year, Morgan and Drew's plans for a large, traditional wedding and reception had to be canceled due to the COVID outbreak.  They decided to have a very small, immediate family only, ceremony on their original wedding date in the beautiful city of Bend, Oregon, about a three hour drive from their hometown.  They are planning to celebrate with friends and family with another wedding next May.

On to my box card.  I used lots of products from several different suppliers.

Stamps and Dies:

Lawn Fawn:  Scalloped Box Card Pop-Up dies, and the sun from the Sun and Moon die set.

MFT Stamps:  Home Sweet Home dies, Magical Rainbow dies, and the cloud die from the Sweet Sloths set.  The house windows were coated with Glossy Accents, and the yellow pathway to the house was fussy cut.

Penguin Palace:  Sweet Ride stamps and dies for the car, bride and groom.  This was my first purchase from PP and the inspiration for my card.  The images were colored with Copic markers.  The windshield, mirrors and lights were coated with Glossy Accents.  The "just married" sign and trailing hearts were my addition to the car. 

Simon Says Stamp:  All Seasons Tree die, and the Heart Breeze die was used for all of the tiny hearts.

I stacked and glued four of the trees together so it would be sturdy as the branches are easily bent otherwise.

Memory Box:  Resting Birds dies.  Three layers of the birds were die cut and glued together for some added dimension.

Paper and Card Stock:

Paper Source:  Pure White 80 lb card stock for the box base.  I find it the perfect weight for box cards.

Lawn Fawn:  12x12 Hello Sunshine Remix collection pack.  I think the "oh happy day" paper is perfect for this card.  The gray polka dot paper is also from this pack.

MFT Stamps:  Kraft, Daffodil, Orange Fizz, Summer Splash and Poppy card stock.  Sweet Celebration 6x6 paper pack for the yellow pathway to the house.

And the back.  I always put a message there, and something to carryover the design on the front so it looks finished.

MFT Stamps Sketch Challenge 501 - Thank You From Owl Of Us

Hello.  Thanks for stopping by to take a look at my card for the current MFT Sketch Challenge.

For the next few weeks I'll be working on cards for Send A Smile 4 Kids, and nationwide organization that supplies pediatric hospitals with handmade cards for the patients, their families and hospital staff.  I send my cards to a very kind woman, Anne, in Pennsylvania and she distributes them to four pediatric hospitals in the Northeast.  It's a great program.  Anne has a current need for birthday and thank you cards.  The thank you cards can be made with designs that a child might pick-out for the recipient, or adult designs as well.

For today's thank you card, I combined two MFT sets featuring owls.  The sentiment was made by cutting apart two sentiments from the Wild Woodland stamp set.  I turned the sketch to a horizontal orientation so I could use the Horizontal Skinny Stripes die.  All of the MFT supplies are listed below.

I hope you have a great day!

MFT Sketch 500 - You & Me. Always.

Hi.  I'm back with a quick and simple card for the current MFT Stamps Sketch challenge.  

I used a blending brush and MFT Blue Raspberry hybrid ink to add some soft color on a die cut MFT heart.  I tried to make it an ombre effect, from the lower left to the right.  A double layer of vellum gives the die cut leaves from the Wild Greenery die set a bit of dimension.  I added a few gems for some sparkle.

Thanks for stopping by, I appreciate it!
