My Favorite Things - Let's Stick Together

Happy Monday Peeps!

Today I am sharing 4 super cute cards that I made using the stamp and dies set from MFT called Let's Stick Together.  I'm still going strong with my quest to make birthday cards and while this set is more like a "couples" type of set, I improvised!

On this first card I used the "stitched dome" - I have to check the actual name of the die cut and  then sponged some clouds on it with Tumbled Glass Oxide ink.  I then attached the little stamped images that I colored with copic markers on the dies cut.  The sentiment is from another MFT stamp set.

Here is the second card that I made using the stamp set.  Again its colored with copics and I attached these directly onto the card front.

This one is so fun to me. I love the little cactus with the sombrero!  The Happy Birthday sentiment is from another MFT stamp set.

This is the last card I made using this stamp set.  I made this adorable shaker card!

I used some Distress oxide inks to make up the background in the  shaker look like a desert sunset.  I then used the same colors to add clouds to the base of the card.  I think it looks amazing! 

  

There is a close up showing some movement.

I used the same copic colors on all of the images.

My Favorite Things - Let's Toast Die Set

Happy Friday!

Today I am sharing a few cards that I made using the Let's Toast  Dies from MFT.  First of all I just want to say that I love how these cards came together!  It was quick and I love the quantity of glasses on each card.

First I die cut a ton of the various glass shapes.  I then used Distress Oxide Inks to quickly color them up.  One this first card I used a brick wall stencil to add a background wall then I added the glasses right on top.

I love the shimmer on the drinks!  

On the next card I again colored them up with Oxide inks.  It was quick and colorful!  I added some sequins for the bling on this card.

This is a one layer card so it is perfect for sending in the mail.

For the final card I made using this set I went all out! LOL!!! I tried to add as many glasses as I could on the card.

I used a background piece of patterned paper from my stash.  I again added lots of sequins.

I hope you like them!  It was a lot of fun making this set.  I used a few different MFT dies and stamp sets for the sentiments.

Thank you for poppin in!

Stamping Bella - Opal the Optimist

Hey there!

I hope your having a good week.  I wanted to share a card that I made for my sister's birthday using a stamp I've had for quite some time!  I felt it was very appropriate for my wine loving sister lol.

I colored it up with copic markers and there is a bit of shimmer with the Tonic Shimmer Pen that I added to the flowers and the wine glass and bottle.

My Favorite Things - Sweet Celebrations

Happy Monday!

Is there such a thing??  LOL, I was seriously considering staying home today!  Its raining here in San Diego today and you know people do not know how to drive in the rain!

Anyways, I made a card this weekend to send to one of my cousins for their birthday.  I want to send all of my cousins a handmade card this year for their birthday.  Here is card number one:

I love how this little turtle came out.  Since the majority of my cousins are male and in their 30's and 40's IDK what they are going to think about these sweet cards :).  BUT, they will be getting them so we will see.  This card uses the MFT Sweet Celebrations stamp set and a die cut that I had in my stash.  I colored it up with copic markers and added some soft clouds with theMFT Clouds stencil and some Tumbled Glass Distresss Oxide Ink.  I added some Shimmer Pen to the banner and his little hat.  

Thank you for stopping by!

My Favorite Things - Party Animals

Happy Monday!

Today I have a card to share using the MFT Party animals stamp set.  I wanted to use all the little critters so I made a slimline shaped card. This means the finished cards dimensions are 8 1/2 by 3 1/2 inches and fits in  a standard size 9 envelope.  

I used my Kuretake markers for this card and stamped the images with Ink on 3's Fade Out Ink for a "no line" look.  I used MFT's Cloud and grass stencils and the Distress Oxide Inks on the grass and the cloud background.

I have a short video on my Instagram that shows the shimmer that is on this beauty!

Thank you for stopping by!

My Favorite Things - Birthday Cake Die

Hi Crafty Peeps!

Today I have a card that I made for a sweet lady at work.  For my birthday she bought me a chocolate cake that weighted a ton and had several layers.  The funny thing was I am not a very sweet stuff lover but this cake was amazing!  It was very mild and delicious.

Here is a picture of it when it was in the box:

It was a beautiful cake.  So on her birthday I decided to make her a card that had several chocolate cakes on it.  That is her favorite type of cake.  :)

This card had alot of die cutting and I love it!

My Favorite Things - It's a Mice Time to Celebrate

Hi!

I made a trio of cards using the cute It's a Mice Time to Celebrate stamp set from MFT.  when I saw this set I had to get it!  These little mice are so stinkin' cute!  I stamped them a couple of times because I was not sure how I wanted to color them up - but when I used my copics in the cool greys I loved how it looked.  There was no need to pick another color combo! 

I ended up coloring all of the images that I stamped.  I used the same copic color combinations on all of the images, I just switched up the colors on the party hats and the presents.  To add some more color to these cards I used the confetti stencil from MFT to add some "fun" to the background.  I blended them on with the Picket Fence Life Changing Blender Brushes and three oxide inks.

To finish of the card I die cut the mail panel using an MFT rectangle die and mounted it with foam tape to a white card base.  I added some Nuvo Shimmer Pen to the stripes on the party hats and the bow.

I hope you enjoyed these cuties!

Art Impressions - Big Birthday Wishes

Hi! 

I hope you guys had a good President's Day holiday!  I had a very crafty day :)

I went to my local Tuesday Morning and found this cute Art Impressions stamp called Big Birthday Wishes and I knew I had to go home and make a birthday card using it!

I love how this came out!  I colored it up with my copic markers and added tons of shimmer with my shimmer pen!  I don't have a die so I fussy cut the banners after I colored them.

Please follow me on my Instagram: @inktimesomewhere to keep up with all my cards.

Thanks for stopping by!
