Just Roll With It–C4C #178

Since it’s Saturday, it’s time for another Crazy 4 Challenges! Today Frances is challenging us to use triangles on our card or project design.

When I think of triangles, I immediately think of banners, so that’s what I ran with. I cut my banner pieces from patterned paper with my Die-namics Jumbo Banner Day STAX and attached them together with hemp cord, then popped them up on foam.

For the rest of the card, I stamped a sentiment from Die-namics You Move Me Die & Stamp Set, added the tire tracks and a die cut car, all on the frame from the set. To finish it off, I added a Hot Fudge button and more hemp cord.

Here’s the inside with a sentiment from Finishing Flourishes and another from Clearly Sentimental About Birthdays.

And that's it! Be sure to check out what the rest of the design team has for you!

Best Ever year–MFTWSC #116

Hi, everyone, I’m back again with this week’s MFT Wednesday Sketch Challenge! Are you ready? Here’s this week’s sketch. You can find the sketch on the MFT blog and also in the MFT forum on SCS, as well as in the weekly newsletter. The Design Team will be on hand to provide plenty of inspiration to get you started.




Obviously, I haven’t gotten tired of my Die-namics Poppy Builder ;-)

This card started with a Sweet Tooth card stock base, a Black Licorice card stock layer, and another Sweet Tooth card stock layer. I added some strips of washi tape—took me a while to “get” what the big deal was with this stuff but I think I’m on the way ;-) Liking it on this card, for sure.

Then, I cut some Black Licorice card stock with my Die-namics Fishtail Flags STAX and embossed it for some texture. The sentiment is from the new Birthday Greetings, which is this month’s Triple Scoop set. It was stamped on a Die-namics Designer Labels 2 STAX die cut with Black Licorice ink and popped up on foam. The Die-namics Poppy Builder flower was made from Razzle Berry card stock with a Black Licorice card stock center. The leaves are made with Sour Apple card stock cut with the leaves from Die-namics Flower Box. A few clear gems for balance finish it off.

The inside has two more sentiments from the set, stamped with Razzle Berry ink and Black Licorice ink.




And that’s all I have for your today! Thanks so much for stopping by!

Howdy, Friend–CTD #234

Happy Wednesday!! It’s time for another Color Throwdown Challenge and this week my bestie, Tammy is our host. She has some gorgeous colors for us to work with this week. I had such fun putting this card together!

I started with a Sweet Tooth card stock base, added a Black Licorice card stock layer, and then a embossed Kraft card stock layer. I love that embossing and I think it has a definite “tooled leather” look, perfect for this slightly Western-themed card.

So, next, I stamped the bottom layer of my Die-namics Well Worn Greetings Die & Stamp Set with the gingham image and Wild Cherry ink. The second layer was made with Kraft card stock which was covered with strips of washi tape before being cut out. Love this! The top layer was stamped with the border and the sentiment on Sweet Tooth card stock with Black Licorice ink and popped up on foam.

To finish it off, I made another Die-namics Poppy Builder using Wild Cherry card stock and Black Licorice card stock, and the leaves are from the new Die-namics Flower Box set cut from Gumdrop Green card stock. A Gumdrop Green button for the center completes the poppy.

Here’s the inside with another sentiment and the sweet heart from the set:



And that’s it from me! Remember, you do not have to have the exact colors to play the Color Throwdown challenge. If you don't, just use the closest you have.

Tea Time

Today I have a pretty little set that’s sure to brighten up your Monday. It’s a card and a gift tag using à la modes You’re My Cup Of Tea and DC Always Time For Tea.

I stamped the image, did some paper piecing and coloring with Copic markers, then dressed the card up with patterned paper, seam binding, a Whip Cream button, and some bling. I’m using Whip Cream card stock from the MFT Boutique for the card base.

Here’s a closer look at the card details:

The tag follows the same style. I started with a Die-namics Tag You’re It Die & Stamp Set for the tag base, added some layers and then a medallion made with my Die-namics 1/4” Rosette die. Then I added the sentiment stamped on a flag from Die-namics First Place Award Ribbon and a teapot and cup from DC Always Time For Tea. I finished it off with more seam binding, another twine-tied button, and a few gems. here’s a close up of the tag:

And that’s that for today! Thanks so much for stopping by!
