MFT Sketch Challenge 472 - Sending You a Tweet Hello

Hello, and thanks for stopping by to take a closer look at my card for this week's MFT Sketch Challenge.

I'm still working on cards for Christina Hor's Cards for Little Hearts heart theme card drive.  You can read about Christina's program that benefits pediatric cardiac patients here.

I rotated the sketch for a horizontal formatted card and used a MFT cloud stencil and Worn Lipstick Distress Oxide ink to make three panels for the background.  The top and bottom panels are popped up with foam tape for dimension.  The sentiment and Copic colored birds are from the A Tweet Hello set.   The tree branch die was a MFT free gift with purchase - love those!  Since Christina asks that all cards for this card drive have a heart theme, I used little hearts for the leaves.

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

 

MFT Supplies:

Cloud stencil

A Tweet Hello stamps and die

Tree Branch die

Bundle of Baby Clothes heart die

A2 Rectangle STAX Set 1 die  

Pure White and Natural card stock

MFT Color Challenge 133 - Grrreetings

For the current MFT Color Challenge, I have another card for Christina Hor's Cards for Little Hearts heart theme card drive.  You can read about Christina's program that benefits pediatric cardiac patients here.

The colors for the challenge are Grout Gray, Electric Red. Gravel Gray and Tickled Pink.  I used Wild Cherry for the red, and Copic markers RV10 and RV02 for the Tickled Pink.

As I often do for donated kids cards, I used the Monster Sized stamp and die set.  It's cute for boys or girls, and the images are quick to color.

I saw a center opening card on Instagram last week and decided to make one for this challenge.  I'd like to acknowledge the creator of the card that I was inspired by, but I didn't make a note of who it was, and of course I can't remember or find the post on Instagram at this point!

A piece of white card stock was cut to 8 1/2-inches wide and 5 1/2-inches high. Next each end was scored and folded at 2 1/8-inches.  Half of the red heart was glued to the right side flap, and half of the gray heart was glued to the left side.  The Copic colored monsters were popped up with foam tape, and wiggly eyes were added.  I used a clear glitter pen to color their teeth.

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

Hello, and thanks for stopping by.  Today I have a card for the current MFT Color and Sketch Challenges. 

I'm working on cards for Christina Hor's Cards for Little Hearts card drive.  February is Heart Month, and Christina has a wonderful program that supplies pediatric cardiac patients in three children's hospitals with heart theme cards during the month of February.  You can read more about the card drive here. 

I love the color combination of the Color Challenge - Gravel Gray, Red Hot, Limelight and Field Day.  I have all four colors of the MFT card stock and used each one on my card.  The cute Monster Sized images are colored with Copic markers and I added wiggly eyes.  I used the Skinny Stripes die for the background areas, and four die sets for the various sizes of hearts.  All of the MFT supplies are listed below. 

Have a great day!

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.

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.

MFT Supplies:
Dashing Deer stamps and die
Tag Builder Blueprints 4
Little Snowflakes die
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!

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.
