Make each day a masterpiece

Morning, it's Monday- the last one of the month already!! Today I have a card made using a lovely set from MFT called Whimsical Wishes which is available from Craft Mojo AND Sally is having a relocation sale so EVERYTHING has 30% off at the moment!!!!

So, here's my card, I really like the sentiment- it's such a general though that it could be used in some many ways. Here I've tried to interpret it literally by making my card a little work of art. First I placed the outline stamps and a sentiment, I stamped them using Tuxedo Black Memento ink. Next I added the solid circles using Distress ink. Then I added Doodlebug sequins in co-ordinating colours. 

After I finished the card, and in line with the sentiment, I decided to "frame" the card by making it into a shaker card. I did this by cutting an aperture and then added a sheet of window plastic behind it. I also stamped a row of the scribble circles onto the frame and added sequins to each one.

Finally, I put 3D foam on the back of the frame, added more Doodlebug sequins before sealing the card up. 

Thanks for stopping by today! (sorry about the photos, I just couldn't get the lighting right)

Best Wishes Butterfly

Happy Saturday!

I've used that fab MFT grid background again, and teamed it with a Paper Smooches stitched tag and sweet little vellum butterfly.

I cut the grid die 4 times and layered it up to make it really stand out from the pink card underneath.  It doesn't show well in the photo, but everything was sprayed with Heidi Swapp spritz, so it's got a lovely subtle shimmer.

Thanks for popping in, hope you have a lovely evening.

Chubby Chums owl

Happy Saturday!

I've played with one of the cute Paper Smooches Chubby Chums stamps for this week's card...

I also used a pretty MFT stencil and some translucent embossing paste... it dries clear and glossy, and I quite like it!

Thanks for popping in, hope you have a lovely evening.

Layered Butterflies

Happy Saturday!

I've used a fab little WPlus9 layered butterfly die for today's card... unfortunately it's out of stock at the moment, but I'm sure Sally will have it back in soon.

This photo shows the dimension a bit better...

There are 3 layers to the butterfly (plus a body die), the bottom layer, which I've cut 3 times, and separate top and bottom wings.  I adhered the centre of each layer with glossy accents and popped up the wings of the bottom layer with clear mounting pads... I think these would show through the vellum if they were under the top layers, but they're fine like this.  I didn't use the body die as I wanted to add some of the new Doodlebug Fall Sprinkles... wish I could show you how shimmery they are, they're fab!

I added some foam pads under the sentiment panel too, so it curves slightly in the middle... I think little things like that make simple cards more interesting.

Thanks for popping in, hope you have a lovely evening.

MFT square grid...

Happy Saturday :o)

I've used some of this month's fab new MFT goodies, along with a couple of older favourites, for today's card...

I cut the square grid die twice, stamped one with the linen background and one with the birthday background, edged the pieces with white ink for definition, and then popped the birthday squares into the linen grid... Love this effect and will be playing with this die lots!

Thanks for popping in, hope you have a lovely day.
