Birthday Cone Card for MFTWSC297

This is a second quick and simple birthday card I made based on the MFTWSC297 Sketch Challenge.  Similar look and feel to the earlier one with pattern paper base, but this time I moved the sentiment lower on the card.

The ice cream cone is from a Stampin'Up set and both sentiments are from My Favorite Things. The image is colored with watercolors and covered with clear Wink of Stella pen.

Thanks for looking.

Supplies:

• Stamps:MFT Delicious Birthday,  SU Honeycomb Happiness
• Tools: MFT Happy and Fishtail STAX Dienamics

Birthday Chick Card

I made two different cards for the MFTWSC297 sketch challenge this week. This first one is dubbed The Birthday Chick.

The image is from a Stampin'Up! set and both sentiments are from My Favorite Things.  I was practicing coloring using watercolors on both the chick and the balloon, but since I covered the balloon in Stickles it's hard to tell what it looks like underneath. I didn't add any embellishments because I needed more flat birthday cards that are easy to mail.

Thanks for looking. 

Supplies:

• Stamps: MFT Delicious Birthday, Label Maker Love , SU Honeycomb Happiness
• Tools: MFT Dienamics, Koi watercolors

Party Cows Card

Every time I reach for The Whole Herd stamp set from My Favorite Things, I end up using the cow image and the "Let's party 'til the cows come home" sentiment. I like the other images too, but this is my favorite one.  I did the same thing on this card, which is based on the MFTWSC296 sketch.

It's a quick card with just white, insulation pink and black colors. The background is sponged using the Cow Print stencil. The images are colored with Copics and adhered with foam for extra dimension.

Thanks for stopping by.

Supplies:

• Stamps: MFT The Whole Herd
• Accessories: Washi tape
• Tools: MFT Cow Print Stencil

Firefly Mason Jar Card

The card I'm showcasing today is slightly different dimension. It's based on the Mojo Monday 450 Sketch and is a little skinnier than usual to allow for tilted label. I call this the firefly card. It's a little hard to see from the picture, but I used glitter cardstock for some of the die cuts to give the illusion of glowing and added some other sequins to the shaker. 

After taking the picture, I realized I forgot to add the jar lid and have adhered it since.Thanks for looking.

Supplies:

• Stamps: MFT More Essential Sentiments, PTI Wreath for All Seasons
• Accessories: SU Lost Lagoon stitched satin ribbon, sequins
• Tools:MFT Maison Jar dienamics, Simon Says Stamp Wishing dienamics

Make A Wish Embossed Card

I've had a lot going on the last few weeks and didn't have a chance to post, but I'm finally catching up and playing along with the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge - Make a Wish. I had this striking striped gold paper from DCWV Favor Boxes stack and was trying to figure out how to use it without hiding it behind layers of paper until it occurred to me to try and emboss it. I wasn't sure it it would hold up to the heat, but it worked just fine. I really like the contrasting effect and the combination of metallic and kraft.

I had to take the picture at an angle to show the reflection, but in real life the flowers stand out well on both lines. I think the card is fitting for the challenge not just because of the sentiment, but it has a bit of dreamy, whimsy feel to it. 

Thanks for looking. 

Supplies:

• Stamps: Hero Arts Starburts, MFT Make a Wish
• Paper: DCWV DIY Favor Boxes
• Accessories: La Mode embossing powder
