Nothin' but Gnomes! MFT Stamps and dies

Fun card I made with My Favorite Things stamps and dies. Colored with Copic markers.Used distress inks to color the grass, sky and trees.  Fussy cut the gnomes, flowers, mushrooms and snail. It is rare that I get really excited about a product, but the tree and sun dies from MFT are perfect for card making and scrapbook pages!

Woodland Creatures

A fun card I made using Jane's Doodles Stamps.  Basic Copic coloring, fussy cut the critters out and punched the clouds out with my Fiskars punch.  I use @JanesDoodles stamps quite often, they are so fun to color!

Finally used my Lawn Fawn set.

Had this set for awhile. Made this with Simon Says Stamp paper and Lawn Fawn stamps and dies. Basic Copic coloring. Fun card for my daughter.

My Favorite Things has made my favorite stamp!

Made this fun card using MFT stamp set Get Down to Business.  I have several engineers/graphic designers/drafters in the family.  This stamp set is perfect!  Fun to Copic color!

Created with Janes Doodles stamps.
Had fun with my 10 year old niece, we colored with copics and created our design.
Also used stitched border dies and Distress Inks.
A nice evening all in all.

As well as this card.  Just learned how to use caption for photos.This is a great day!

I am also entering this card

Found craft time, entering a blog contest.

Had some time to create last night and this morning.  Played with some of my floral stamps and created these cards to enter into the Hero Arts Floral Flowers Challenge.  There is also one card that I dropped my stamper on 3 times (frustrating, but no swearing).  I am posting it because I think all projects can give some inspiration, whether we personally like them or not. Thanks for stopping by!

Hello,

When Mother Nature throws a big snowstorm at you, what else can you do but make cards?! I made the background paper and the cards using stamps from Jane's Doodles stamps and Fiskars.  I am just starting to embrace coloring with markers and these stamps are fun to color!  I used the Stripes and Dots and the Doodle Flowers.  I  used the different sized dots to stamp color on to the little circles in the tree.  This card is based on a painting my sister Jane did, that I just love (not Jane's' Doodles Jane, but we are of Croatian descent).  When I make this card again, I will not distress the edges, create a darker background and use brighter ink in my stamping. But I do like the basic look of the card.

Thanks for stopping by!

 The border and hill in the other card were created by the Stripes and Dots stamp set from #Janesdoodles.

Valentine Paper Piecing

Made a quick card using the Simon Says Stamp February card kit.  It was quick, easy and relaxing to make.  I pieced together several samples of the paper included in the kit in a chevron pattern.  I put vellum over the top and added a sticker from the kit.  This is one of the rare times you will see me use pink!  Thanks for stopping by!  -  Patty

Shaker Cards - Snail Mail Fail

I made a couple of shaker cards with the January SSS card kit.  Love the snow stamps included in the kit.  Created them the usual way with the 3M double sided foam tape.  Mailed them to myself and they arrived so squished that nothing moved when I shook them.  Bummer!  Need to come up with a better way to do shaker cards!

And so it begins...

Finally starting the card making blog I have been wanting to do forever! I have been scrap-booking and crafting for over 15 years and really enjoy the crafting community, so I decided to jump in.  I have uploaded some photos of an in-lay card I created with the Simon Says Stamp January kit. I also played with making shaker cards with the stamp set included in the kit.  Those are the cutest snowflakes!

I used Memory Box snowflake dies and a Darice embossing folder.  I learned it is easier to insert the small piesces if you lay the die cut object from the card portion over the inserted object and use a pin to poke the small inserts into the inlay.  I put the die cut blue snow flakes over the patterned snowflake that was inserted in the card design.  I took a pin and poked the small, blue pieces out of the blue flake and into the patterned paper flake.  Worked like a charm and I didn't lose any pieces!

Thanks for stopping by!
