Crazy 4 Challenges....You're So Good For My Heart

Happy Saturday peeps!!

It is week two of me guest designing at Crazy 4 Challenges.

Since today is National Pet Day our challenge is to create a card or project using some type of pet as our inspiration.

I decide to use my fun new set from MFT by Birdie Brown called "You Have My Heart".

I love it.

I started by making my BG bricks. I used a stencil and modeling paste. After the paste dried I put the stencil back over the paste and sponged on some cherry cobbler ink.

Don't you love that look? So cool! 

I then stamped a colored the girl and dog image. I fussy cut them out and added foam tape to the backs to mount.

I cut some "grass" with a die and added this across the bottom. I then added the girl and her dog.

The sentiment is embossed with white onto some cherry cobbler card stock. I added a button with some twine.

This is all mounted onto a base of Crumb Cake card stock.

Thanks for stopping by and be sure and head over to the

 to be inspired by what the rest of the girls did with this fun challenge!

Sweet Sunday......Somebunny Shaker

Happy Sunday Peeps!!!

We have some exciting news to share this week!

First up is a new Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge Blog!

We are all thrilled to have anew home and a place dedicated to just our sketch challenge.

We are all pitching in on this so Karen is not so overwhelmed with running the challenge.

There are some new design team members, you will be excited when you see who! 

This week with all the the changes going on we decided to go freestyle, you can pick from any of the past sketches for your card this week. You can see them all HERE.

I decided to go back into the files and picked sketch 176

Well at least my version of it anyway!! This is a sketch I designed way back when so I thought it was alright to change it up just a bit!! LOL!!!

I decided to jump on board with the shaker card craze going on and make one

I used the MFT stamp set called Somebunny. This card was a real booger to put together, I had never made a shaker card before so it was an experience,  I need to work on my technique for making these but it turned out cute and that is all that matters right?

I picked up some fun sequins and stars to add to the shaker from work.

The image was stamped with black Memento ink and colored with my copic markers.

I cut my own banner myself since I don't have any dies like this, they are on my list to get tho. LOL!

 Under the banner is an acetate circle and two layers of fun foam that run the whole length of the banner. I cut circles in the banner with my circle dies. I glued this stack all together and added the colored image behind it all, first putting the shaker bits inside.

The DSP is some SU, can't remember name of the pack, the color is Strawberry Slush. I love that color!

I stamped the sentiment onto some white and curled it a bit and snipped the end.

I added it just under the circle and finished it with a button and some white bakers twine.

I added two white brads at the top that I cut off the back prongs and glued on using some crystal effects.

 OK that is all from me, head over to the new

SWEET SUNDAY CHALLENGE BLOG

and see all the design team cards.

Pick a sketch and link it up over there!

I am so excited about the new blog and our new designer team members

Thanks for stopping by today!

Crazy 4 Challenges......Pawsitvley Awesome

Happy Monday Peeps!!

The challenge this week on the Crazy 4 Challenges Blog was a sketch challenge and I was anxious to play along.

I ordered this stamp from MFT awhile back and just got it, unfortunately it was traveling around the US for about two weeks before it finally arrived at my door on Friday. I had to use it right away!

It is another adorable Birdie Brown set called "You have my heart".

I have been on a bit of a purple kick with my last few cards, once I got out the Concord Crush I could not stop using it.

Anyway I stamped one of the sweet little images from the set onto some white card stock using some Memento Black ink and colored with my copic markers.

The base of the card is Concord Crush and then a layer of white. I again used some DSP from the retired in color pack.

The sentiment is from the same set and is stamped with black ink.

I used my Sizzix Sizzlet Fashionable Heart die to make the two little hearts and then I added three sequins at the top for that element in the sketch.

Well, that is all from me today, thanks for stopping by!

MFT....SOMEBUNNY

Happy Saturday Peeps!

Today I am sharing a card I made using the sketch challenge this week on the MFT Challenge Blog.

I am in LOVE with this awesome stamp set!

 SOMEBUNNY fromMFT is a Birdie Brown Set. I love all her sets.

I have made a shaker card using this set I will show you later next week.

I think this bunny shown from the back is my favorite in the set and it looks perfect with the little wagon of flowers. 

I die cut the circle and then stamped the bunny and wagon using Memento Black ink. I then colored with my copic markers. I added all the tiny little hearts all around. They are punched from a SU border punch.

The DSP I used are both from retired SU packs. I hand cut my wave and added it over the dotted BG.

I rounded the top corners using the corner rounder on my envelope punch board.

The sentiment is stamped with Memento Black ink and was super easy to line up since there was already lines on the DSP.

I finished this up with a few iridescent sequins and few small rhinestones in the flower centers.

I am sure you willbe seeing more of this card in the future, it will be sweet for Easter.  I am thinking some tags for Easter goodies!

Thanks for stopping by today!
