Happy 4th of July – MFTWSC122

June 17th, 2013 christmas-n-things

Here’s another catch-up card for the MFT Wednesday Stamp Club. When I looked at the shading stamp in the Dandelion Wishes set, it looked a little bit like fireworks to me. And, since it’s almost that time of year…

I stamped the image 3 times. The silver image is stamped using the silver Distreess acrylic paint. The silver behind the small stars and the accent star is foil tape. And the sentiment is stamped on cotton twill ribbon.


Stamps:Dandelion Wishes, PI – Lady Liberty (MFT)
Paper: Nightshift Blue, Wild Cherry, Primitive White (MFT)
Ink: Chipped Sapphire, Barn Door (Distress Ink); Brushed Pewter (Distress Paint); Onyx Black (VersaFine)

Merry Christmas – FFC10

June 17th, 2013 christmas-n-things


Playing along with the Festive Friday Challenge again. The theme this time was vintage. This Tim Holtz ornament die screams vintage to me. It’s not showing up in the picture well, but the ornament is sprayed with a shimmer mist. I embossed the red lines with embossing tinsel for a nice glittery look. Also the silver ornament top, snowflake and flourish are cardstock coated with silver Inka Gold paste which burnishes up for a nice
brushed metallic look.

P.S. Meredith, Geri: No gold! ;)

Paper: Rustic White, Sno Cone, Red Hot (MFT)
Ink: Kraft, Red Hot (MFT); Old Paper, Frayed Burlap (Distress); VersaMark

hi – MFTWSC125

May 27th, 2013 christmas-n-things

After an amazing weekend workshop at MFT last weekend, I finally got a chance to sit down in my craft room today. And then I had to get right back up and clean it before I could actually get anything done. But clean it, I did. And I even got a few cards made today. I’m a few weeks behind with the MFT Wednesday Stamp Club and one of my goals this year is to complete all 52 sketches. So, it’s catch-up time! First up is a card for this week’s sketch MFTWSC125.

I stamped the dots with Versamark ink, and softened the edges of the dark purple & kraft with some white ink sponged on the edges.

Stamps:Darling Dots (MFT)
Paper: Kraft, Grapesicle, Grape Jelly (MFT)
Ink: Versamark; White (WPlus9)
Accessories: Happy Hellos dies, Blueprints 1 dies, Fishtail Flags Layers STAX, buton (MFT); hemp twine

Merry Little Christmas – FFC07

May 8th, 2013 christmas-n-things

I’m back playing along with the Festive Friday Challenge again. This week’s challenge was to use a bird in the design. Well, I went with one of the few holiday sets I own that include a bird. I stamped the happy little red bird hanging a silver star in the tree. Both the star and the snowflakes are stamped in silver with some sparkle added with a glitter pen. I also edged the snowdrift in silver ink to define it a bit more.

One of these weeks, I’ll get my card made and posted before Wednesday evening. I’m just not sure which week it will be…

And I finished off the inside with another sentiment.


Stamps: Merry Little Christmas (PTI); Clearly Sentimental About Christmas (MFT)
Paper: Hot Fudge, Wild Cherry, Jellybean Green (MFT); Silver (Encore)
Ink: Smooth White, Wild Cherry (MFT)
Accessories: Snow Drifts dies, Fishtail Flags dies, Fishtail Flags Layers dies, Blueprints 1 dies, Blueprints 2 dies (MFT); Glitter Pen (Sakura)

Christmas Greetings – FFC06

April 23rd, 2013 christmas-n-things


Ahhhh, did you hear my sigh of relief? I’m back to using silver on my Christmas cards after the last Festive Friday Challenge. I’m playing along again with the FF06 theme challenge. This time the theme is retro. I love those old ornaments with the glitter accents on them. I used my Spellbinders ornaments dies and added a starburst with glitter embossing powder.

And I finished off the inside with a pattern paper scrap and another sentiment.


Stamps:Compliments of the Season (WMS; Christmas Ornaments (MFT)
Paper: Wild Cherry, Whip Cream (MFT); Dear Mr. Claus (Cosmo Cricket)
Ink: Wild Cherry (MFT)
Accessories: 2011 Heirloom Ornaments (Spellbinders); Fishtail Flags Layers, Blueprints 1, Blueprints 2 (MFT); Silver Tinsel Embossing powder (Zing); silver pearls.
