MFT Stamps Pure Innocence ‘Start Each Day with a Whee’ Swing Card…

Hi everyone! When this cute gal came out awhile back I knew I had to have her!  We have one granddaughter that especially loves to swing and she loves cards too!  I love it when the idea for personalizing a card comes easy!

Here’s my version of the swinging ‘whee’ girl in action…she’s cute!  You can see it a lot better on You Tube, HERE

I basically followed MFT’s video but I used dies I already owned.  I added a tree trunk from the Memory Box Weeping Willow Tree Cutting Plate but I see it’s discontinued.  There are other tree dies though that would work… like this one HERE.  You could also hand cut one really easy.  I haven’t seen anyone else using a tree trunk but I think it makes it look more realistic… when I first saw the cards made up, I thought weird, green clouds! lol

I used poppystamps Stitched Cloudline dies and die cut them and the grass borders from Taylored Expressions Granny Smith cardstock.  I’m really happy with how they turned out!

I stamped her in the MISTI with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock and die cut her then colored her with Copic Sketch Markers. Hair E21, E43, 44, 47, Skin E000, YR000, E00, E01, R20, Shirt E02, 04, Shorts B 91, 93, 95, 97, Shoes T1,3, 5, Swing seat and rope E20’s, white space between the swing ropes is colored with B21.

I stamped the sentiment from the set in the MISTI with Black Archival ink.

My cardbase is Gumball cardstock from Bazzill or Taylored Expressions has it also. Links below…

Thanks for ‘swinging’ by today! Holler if you have any questions!

Here’s some links to stuff I used to make this card…thank you so much for supporting me and my blog!  I appreciate it!

SSS ‘Celebrate You Release’ Filigree Message Circle Die with MB Flower Dies…

It’s time for a NEW release from Simon Says Stamp! They sent me their new Filigree Message Circle die to play with.  Kinda fitting since it was designed by Memory Box.

So I set to work and used a couple Memory Box flower dies too!

I used sentiments from the SSS last release, Tiny Words Encouragement clear stamp set. Links below…

I wanted to embellish the circle so I diecut the NEW Memory Box Daisy Silhouette die in white and colored with Copic Sketch markers.

YG17 Matches Taylored Expressions Peapod cardstock perfectly!  I’ll link below.

Here’s a top view because there is dimension to the card! 😀

The top layer is Taylored Expressions Toffee cardstock.

A close up…I think this picture captures the sweetness of the card the best! 😀

Next photo, the cards together…a variety of things you can do with this die.  Use your other circle dies to frame it etc. My white die cut panel is popped up to the card base with foam mounting tape and the kraft die cut panel is adhered directly to the card base.

I have this Lawn Fawn Inside Out Circle die set and love how it framed this Filigree Message Circle die.

I wanted to embellish with flowers again and liked the idea of tulips cuz it’s May and tulips are big in the area we live.

This is the Memory Box Springtime Tulips die. I clipped out the tulips and used them without the circle they come with.

A top view… I ink blended the flower parts that come with the die to back the tulips, with Picked Raspberry Distress Oxide Ink and the mini ink blending tool.

I ink blended the card base with Shaded Lilac Distress Oxide ink.

The leaves are inked with Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide ink.


Sweet, feminine cards that anyone would enjoy receiving.  YAY!

Now for a bit of shopping info too… this is like an after Mother’s Day present to oneself!  Gotta love that!

Memory Box NEW Brilliant Sunflower Die Cards…

Hi everyone!  Here’s what I’ve been doing so far this week.  The new dies from Memory Box arrived and I got busy!

I’ve always liked sunflowers and holly hocks.  I suppose because they look free spirited! haha

For this card, I used the NEW Brilliant Sunflower and added the square frame from the Splendid Rose Frame from this year’s earlier release.  I LOVE how these mix and match!

I made a short video of how I emboss the detail in the sunflower head…watch it here or on You Tube.

 

I really like how embossing deepens the detail.

I inked edges with a little Gathered Twigs Distress Ink and the mini round ink blending tools.

I colored the center of the embossed yellow piece with color pencil and added white dots with a white gel pen.

Some quick die piecing in the corners….heat embossed sentiment is from the NEW Memory Box Big and Little Words clear stamp set. It’s made to coordinate with some of the other new dies too so you’ll be seeing it used a lot! yay!

Stamped with Versamark, in the MISTI stamping tool.

You brighten my day!  It’s true!

I used the NEW Misti Cut Align tool to cut the sentiment strip… I REALLY like having that tool!  Tools are everything!

Some enamel dots…

So then, cuz I had experimented and cut so many sunflowers in different colors, I decided to use the white cut!

I dry embossed the yellow flower head that’s behind the white outline die… I love how it looks, it just gives it a little roundness.  I glue it just in the center so the petals can kinda look free-ish.

A Distress Oxide background in Fossilized Amber and Peeled Paint using the cheap make up brushes to blend it on the card-base.  I’ll link to the ones the stamp company is selling but I’m using the cheap ones and love them!

A happy, cute card! 😀 We all need a little sunshine in-between rains these days!

The sentiment is from the same NEW set as above… I am loving this set! I had fun making these two cards!

Both cards are 4 ½ inches square.  You could mail this size in an A6 envelope or a 5 inch square one.

Thanks for stopping by! Hope you’re enjoying the flowers in paper or in dirt!

poppystamps Greenhouse Potted Plants Sidekick Frame Card…

Edited to Add… in case you noticed the double As in the sentiment… I added a bird over one!  Here’s the new photo…

Pam Sparks Greenhouse Potted Plants and Shelves BIRD added over A

Hi again! Another fun sidekick die from poppystamps.  I’m not sure I did it justice but I had fun!

I die cut the frame in a piece of woodgrain pattern paper. Colored over the flower pot parts with Copic markers, BG53, 57, YG 25, 17, YR18, E99 and the birds with BG53, 57, E57, E99. I die cut the frame from a piece of cardstock and glued the pattern paper to it, making it sturdier. Then adhered it to the cardbase.

I die cut the vines in white cardstock and colored them with the same greens, YG25 and YG 17.

I stamped a sentiment from the poppystamps Birthday Blowout clear stamp set.  Then on the inside I’m going to stamp ‘celebrate your day’ and ‘happy birthday’ from the same set.  I LOVE it when there’s sentiments that work together in a stamp set!

I put Glossy Accents on the pots and left them to dry…then decided it needed something else, so I stamped in the white dots very carefully.  hmmm… not sure I should’ve but to late now! haha

Here’s an iPhone ‘before the dots’ picture.   WOW, we got new phones and man does this thing take good pictures!  All I did was crop, resize and put my name on it!  whoa! (a little different color tone)

Even as good as the photos are… it’s still better IRL!  😀

Memory Box update…There’s an even newer release now and mine just arrived!  Stores already have them in stock so be sure to check them out! HERE they are at Starlitstudio.net.  If you want to see the cards Memory Box has already made up for samples, go HERE and click on each item to see a sample, then back to shop… pretty cards!

Here’s some more great shopping! This is good through Sunday. Penny Black, Ranger, Lawn Fawn,  Sizzix, just to name a few.

Thanks for stopping by! Happy Cardmaking Day! (I know, it’s supposed to be Scrapbooking Day! lol  Every day is cardmaking day!)
