Happy Birthday…Sorry for the Late Delivery–MFTWSC #213

Hi, everyone, I’m back again with this week’s MFT Wednesday Sketch Challenge! Are you ready? Here’s this week’s sketch. All of the details about the sketch challenge are available on the MFT Challenge & Inspiration blog as well as in the weekly newsletter. The MFT Challenge & Inspiration Team will be on hand to provide plenty of inspiration to get you started.



My card started with a Steel Gray card stock base on which I stamped On the Diagonal with Steel Gray dye ink—love the subtle look that gives. Following the sketch, next up is a Sweet Tooth card stock panel stamped with Happy Birthday Background and Steel Gray dye ink, next panel up is Paver Red stamped with Star Background and Paver Red dye ink. Popped up on foam mounting tape is another Sweet Tooth card stock panel, this one dry embossed with MPD Houndstooth Stencil. The sentiment, from You’ve Got Mail, was stamped on Steel Gray card stock with Sweet Tooth pigment ink and heat embossed with clear detail embossing powder before also being popped up on foam mounting tape. I added a Paver Red button, tied with hemp cord, which was also adhered to the Balloon STAX Die-namics. They were made as follows, left to right: Steel Gray card stock stamped with Typewriter Text Background and Steel Gray dye ink; Paver Red card stock; Sweet Tooth card stock stamped with Sheet Music Background with Black Licorice dye ink. I finished off with some enamel dots.

Another sentiment from You’ve Got Mail was stamped on the inside with Paver Red dye ink.



And that’s it from me today! Thanks so much for stopping by—see you soon!

Focus On What Matters–CTD #327

Hey, everyone, welcome to this week’s Color Throwdown Challenge! Wanda has chosen this pallet of bold colors based on her inspiration piece.

I hadn’t inked up Bokeh Builder in a while so I thought it was time to get it out and use it. I started my card with a Sweet Tooth card stock base, then on another piece of Sweet Tooth card stock, I swiped some embossing paste using Grid Stencil. While that was drying I stamped up my Bokeh Builder panel using Wild Wisteria dye ink, Blu Raspberry dye ink, Limelight dye ink, and Lemon Drop dye ink. I popped the embossed layer up on foam, then popped the stamped panel up, as well, at a wonky angle. Next I added a Pierced Traditional Tag STAX Die-namics cut from Translucent Vellum and stamped it with an image from Eye Charts and Sweet Tooth pigment ink. I heat embossed with clear detail embossing powder, tied some silver cord through a punched hole, and popped it up as well. I placed the foam tape under the “Y” and under where I knew the sentiment strip was going to go so none shows through the vellum. Next is a strip of silver glitter paper, then the sentiment strip. It’s made from Steel Gray card stock stamped with more Sweet Tooth pigment ink and also heat embossed with clear detail embossing powder. I finished off with some LLD Geek Is Chic Glasses Die-namics, cut from more silver glitter paper.

Another sentiment from Bokeh Builder was stamped on the inside with Steel Gray dye ink.

Thank You–MFT Color Challenge #14

Hi, all, I'm back with this week's MFT Color Challenge! Are you ready? Here’s this week’s color combo: Blueberry, Wild Wisteria, Limelight, and Sweet Tooth. All of the details about the color challenge are available on the MFT Challenge & Inspiration blog as well as in the weekly newsletter. The MFT Challenge & Inspiration Team will be on hand to provide plenty of inspiration to get you started.

Since this was a cool color palette, I decided to do a water color wash as my focal point. I started with a Sweet Tooth card stock base, then, on another piece of Sweet Tooth card stock I stenciled some embossing paste with On the Diagonal stencil. Then, on water color paper, I did the wash using Blueberry dye ink refill, Wild Wisteria dye ink refill, and Limelight dye ink refill. I then cut it out with Tag, You’re It Die-namics, tied some baker’s twine through the hole, and popped it up on foam mounting tape. Next, I cut the block script “thank” from Thank You Die-namics and Sweet Tooth card stock and popped them up on the tag. I cut the “you” from Words of Gratitude Die-namics from Blueberry card stock and adhered it at the bottom of the tag. I finished off with some matching enamel dots.

A sentiment from LJD Cheerful Blessings on the inside with Steel Gray dye ink on layers of Wild Wisteria card stock and Sweet Tooth card stock cut with Blueprints 5 Die-namics and Blueprints 6 Die-namics.
