Dino Birthday Wishes

Just a little birthday card featuring this oh so cute dino from the Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps Cute-a-saurus stamp set!

I used a random scrap of PP and paried with some Bazzill Card Shoppe peanut cluster CS.  I used my MFT Die-namics circle STAX to cut out part of the circle from the PP.  I added some faux stitch with a white gel pen.  I colored my image with copics and added some Stickles to the center of his flowers.  I embellished with three buttons to repeat the colors of the flowers.

I'm playing along with this week's MFTWSC125 with one of my favorite Pure Innocence stamp sets called "Being Cute is What I Do."

I paper pierced the purple panel.  I created the the flower using my favorite MFT Die-Namics flower die called Pretty Posies and I used the MFT fishtail flags STAX Die-Namics to create the sentiment panel.  The sentiment is from the MFT Essential Sentiments stamp set which I stamped in MFT black licoice ink.  I added a few hot pink rhinestones, some button, and hemp cord to embellish.

Happy Birthday, Jessica Knutsen!

Today the There She Goes Trendsetters of past and present have come put together a surprise Birthday Blog Hop in honor of Jessica Knutsen, owner of There She Goes Clear Stamps! 

I have had the honor of designing for There She Goes Clear stamps since March of 2012 and I have had the chance to hang out with Jessica twice "in real life."  She is a fun loving chick who loves to laugh and is an amazing designer herself!   

Jess and her family are on the brink of relocating from Washington o Texas so I thought I would ink up the Giddy Up set to create a Western themed birthday card in honor of her move.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JESS! 

I stamped the image onto X-Press It blending card in Momento tuxedo black ink and colored her with copics.  I paper pieced her shirt with papers from the Farm House Fair Skies 6x6 paper pad.  I paired some MFT smooth white, black licorice, and red hot CS with PP from the Penny Black Madison 6x6 paper pad.  I used a die from the MFT Blueprints 1 Die-Namics and a die from the Sweet 'N Sasy Stamps Star die set.  

Ready to hop to see creation from Trendsetters past and present?!  

Thanks for helping us celebrate Jessica's birthday! Have fun hopping, and on the way, the last hop will be Jessica's blog, so be sure to say hi to her and wish her a HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

Under the Weather

This week on the 7 Kids College Fund challenge blog, the challenge is an embellishments challenge.  

Ugh. My style is definitely more on the cleaner side so the MOST I could get myself to do for embellishments was to use some vintage seam binding, a button and some twine, but THAT is where I draw the line.  I gotta be me!  

 I am playing along with the MFT Pure Innocence Under the Weather stamp set.  

I stamped my image in Momento tuxedo black ink onto X-Press it blending card,  I colored my image with copics and did a bunch of paper piecing,  The PP is from the Echo Park "Bundle of Joy Girl" 6x6 paper pad.    which I paired with MFT pink lemonade, hot fudge, and sweet tooth CS.  The card base is Bazzill Card Shoppe peanut cluster CS.  I added some siam pink vintage seam binding, a white button, and some MFT hemp cord.   I stamped the sentiment in MFT hot fudge ink.

Have a Hoppy Day

When I saw the newest Tiddly Inks, I immediately asked Tabitha at the 7 Kids College Fund if she was going to be carrying them in the store.  She ordered them up right away!  I HAD TO HAVE the new Hopping By stamp set to make a birthday card for my daughter who tuns 11 tomorrow.  Lauren loves to play on the pogo stick so this image is PERFECT!

I stamped the image in Momento tuxedo black ink onto X-Press it blending card and colored her with copics.  I paired some MFT lemon drop, black licorice and razzle berry CS with some PP from the Carta Bella Cool Summer 6x6 paper pad.  I used the MFT circle STAX Die-namics to die cut the circles.  I stamped the sentiment on MFT black licorice ink.  I used the Deconstructed Sketch #96 for my inspiration.

MFTWSC124 - Go Confidently

Graduation time is upon us so I decided to use this week's MFTWSC challenge #124 as my inspiration to get a graduation card done for our babysitter.   

I thought that the sentiment from the new  Life's Directions stamp set 

was perfect for a graduation card.

I love the coverage of the MFT inks!  If you have not tried them yet, you must!  I use Momento tuxedo black for images that I will color with copics, but for sentiments,  I only use MFT inks now.  

Here's the sketch:

ConGRADulations!

It's There She Goes Again week!   All week long on the There She Goes blog, we have been looking back at some creations made in the past by the Trendsetters featuring previously released stamp sets.  Today we are breathing some new life into those older sets by showing off some NEW creations!  

I chose to ink the ConGRADulations stamp set.

I stamped my image onto X-Press It blending card in Momento tuxedo black ink and colored her with copics.   I stamped the cap and sentiment in MFT blacklicorice ink.   I matted with MFT black licorice CS and mounted on an MFT sweet tooth CS card base.  I added a bit of ribbon to embellish.
