Mama Elephant Sunday Stroll and In My Heart Stamp Sets

Hi Everyone,

I made a few cards with the Mama Elephant Sunday Stroll stamp set. A couple of the kids are from the In My Heart stamp set, but the majority are from the Sunday Stroll set. Also, the sentiments are from the Sunday Sentiments stamp set. I'm assuming they were designed to complement each other. I cut the main panel using a stitched die and added a cloud die from MFT and a landscape design from MFT. I used Ranger dye inks to add some color on the panels. I like using the yellow on the main panel to give the ambience of the sun rays.

Girl in Red With Snowball

Hi Everyone,

Here is a card using the You're the Coolest girl from Doodle Garden Girl. This stamp is not easy to find today, maybe it has been retired, but I found it on Etsy. It's really appropriate today, since it has been snowing here for hours. It was only supposed to snow lightly--but so far it's been snowing for about seven hours. Anyway, the name of the stamp set is "You're the Coolest," if you want to see if you can find it.

I tried to paper piece this girl twice. It's not as easy as it looks, and I have a new respect for people who can do a good job of that. Anyway, enjoy this snowy day!

Enjoy!

MFT Sketch 1-12-16

Hi Everyone,

Here is my card for the MFT Stamps sketch for this week. I used the lines from the Distressed Patterns stamp set to create the horizontal lines. I used the Mini Modern Blooms stamp set and dies for the flowers. I also used the Die-Namics Double Stitched Oval STAX for the greeting.

Enjoy!

Girl on Sled

Hi Everyone,

Here is a Pure Innocence girl on a sled. I used Ranger Inks for the blue background, then used the MFT Stamps snowy background stencil and BoBunny Sugar glitter paste to create the snow. Love the Pure Innocence stamps! I colored her with Copic markers.

Enjoy!

Three Poinsettias

Hi Everyone,

Here is my Christmas card that is using non-traditional colors for the PTI November Blog Hop. I used the poinsettias from the PTI Bells and Boughs stamp set and stamped them in light teal. I used a stencil and some Bo Bunny glitter paste in the color "Sugar" for the snowy background. I wish the snow showed up better, as it is really stunning in real life.

I used the die from the PTI Sending You stamp set and used the same ink to sponge around the die cut. I stamped the evergreens from the Bells and Boughs stamp set and placed the die cut poinsettias on the arch. The rhinestones are from my stash of rhinestones, which I am trying to use up before I am tempted to buy any sequins.

Enjoy!

Girl With Snowball

Hi Everyone,

Here is a card I made using the snow background stamp from MFT stamps. I also used some blue and turquoise ink to create the background.

Fall Birthday Card

Hi Everyone,

Here is a birthday card I made using the MFT Stamps Modern Blooms stamp set, along with their stitched circles stax. The second card shows the inside of the card. I think I got the Irish Blessing stamp at a stamp show. There's nothing on it to indicate where it's from. It always stamps crooked, but now with the pink tool, I can line it up much easier.

Enjoy!
