Hello for MFTWSC125 and JUGS#189

This is my card for this week's MFTWSC125 and Just Us Girls #189.  This is my first time participating in the JUGS challenge.  It was a color challenge this week.

 

My card base is SU Crumb Cake, next is a layer of Sahara Sand DSP from a retired pad.  The flower DSP is from Teresa Collins Fabrications-Canvas 6x6 pad, matted with Crumb Cake and the edges are inked with Pumpkin Pie ink.  The flower is made with MFT Blueprints 3 die-namics, cut with some retired SU DSP.  I cut beween the flower petals, inked the edges and shaped them with a bone folder.  The flower center is Crumb Cake and the edges are inked with CC ink.  I used MFT Leaf-Filled Flourish cut in Crumb Cake to add a little texture.  The sentiment is from MFT LJD-On The Line, stamped in Pumpkin Pie ink and cut with MFT Fishtail Flags Stax and matted with a Crumb Cake Fishtail Flags Stax Layers die.

Thanks for stopping by.  I appreciate your comments.

Happy Stamping,

A Note to Say - Freshly Made Sketches 86

Here's my card I made following Freshly Made Sketces 86.  I will be sending this card to Operation Write Home to be sent to our military men and women overseas, so I used this new stamp set from Verve called Take Note.  I love that cute little envelope in the set and it has a lot of sentiments also.

 

The DSP is from MME Breeze 6x6 pad, except the text print is from Theresa Collins Vintage Finds.  The mats and ribbon are SU Basic Gray.  The card base and white panels are Canvas Corp Heavy Cardstock.

A Very Merry Christmas - Merry Monday #62

 

 This is my card for Merry Monday #62 sketch challenge.  Check out the challenge by clicking here.   I love playing in the challenge each week as I am getting a lot of my Christmas cards done early. 

For my card I used a cute reindeer stamp by Recollections from Michael's dollar bin.  This is the first time I have inked him up.  I stamped him on X-Press It Blending Card and colored him with Copics, then cut him out with MFT Circle Stax and used SU Early Espresso for the mat.  All mats are Early Espresso.  The card base is Canvas Corp Heavy Cardstock.  The DSP is from Echo Park Very Merry Christmas 6x6 pad.  The sentiment is from SU More Merry Messages, and is cut with MFT Fishtail Flags Stax.  The brads are from JoAnn's.

Sweet and Sassy - MFT Scrap Sketch #7

This is my layout for My Favorite Things Scrap Sketch 7. You can read all about it here in their SCS Forum.

 



These are photos of my "Sweet and Sassy" great-granddaughter.  Lately she has been a real poser for the camera.  I wanted to take her picture because she was dressed so cute and she immediately posed so I got some cute photos and had to scrap them.  I got this cute PI Feeling Sassy because it reminds me of her.  I stamped the image with Mememto Tuxedo Black and colored her with Copics.  I had some Zebra print DSP, copied it and reduced it way down to have it small enough to stamp her top on and cut it out.  Her hair bow is also paper-pieced.  The pink check & pink dotted papers are some older Making Memories paper from my stash.  I used SU Basic Black for my layout base and mats. I sewed around the edges of the pink paper in a zig-zag stitch, but it doesn't show up in the photo.
The panel for the cute PI image is cut with a die from MFT Blueprints 1 Dies  and I inked around the edges with SU Bashful Blue ink while it was still in the die.  I added the grass following Inge's tutorial here.   I added the Old Olive Leaf-Filled Flourish becasue of the green bush in the photos.  The sentiments are from 3 different MFT stamps sets:  PI-Feeling Sassy, LLD-Document It -Right This Way and  Captured Memories and are mounted with foam tape.  The buttons are from my stash and tied with some crochet thread.

Thanks for stopping by.  I appreciate you taking the time to leave me a comment.

Happy Staming and Scrapping,

A CHEERFUL HEART

I am combining two challenges for my card,  The Paper Players #145 and MFTWSC124.

 

My card base and the MFT Heart Doily are SU Raspberry Ripple.  The DSP is Gumball Green and Midnight Muse.  The white panels are Canvas Corp Heavy Cardstock and the large panel is embossed with SU Fancy Fan EF.  I love this sentiment from the new MFT Cheerful Blessings set and stamped it in Midnight Muse.  I also added a little flourish from SU Simple Friendship (retired) stamped in Midnight Muse and added some of the hearts cut from the Heart Doily.  I was going to add a flower for the little circle element, but thought the hearts went better with the sentiment.  I also added some Baker's Twine around the sentiment panel.

Congrats Grad

The Dynamic Duos Challenge blog is celebrating their one year anniversary.  To participate you can make a card with any of their previous color combos.  I chose DD#49, Basic Gray & Basic Black to make this graduation card.  The image is by Stampabilities and I colored the tassel with marker.  The chevron paper is My Mind's Eye and of course I used SU Basic Gray and Basic Black CS.  I embossed the Basic Gray panel with  Quikutz Polka Dots EF.  I added some Basic Black grossgrain ribbon across the seam of the two papers.  The sentiment is done on my computer and cut out with MFT Fishtail Flags Stax Die-namics and Layers. The card base and banners are Canvas Corp Heavy Weight CS.
