2021 MFT Card Design Superstar Contest

 Hello friends,

Today I am entering the annual MFT Card Design Superstar Contest.  I was so surprised to see the last post to my blog was for this very contest, only last year.  I used 3 stamp sets for the images I used to create my card.  This card is for the Coloring Virtuoso category.

I used the adorable crows from the Loveable Leopards set.  I used a Pure Innocence Ll'l Pumpkin, and a sentiment from Picture Perfect Party Animals.  To make the fence I used the die-namics to cut and trace the fence.  I used Copics and color pencils to color the scene.  The clouds were cut, free-hand.  Thanks so much for stopping by!  Good luck to all the other participants!

Hugs and smiles,

2020 Card Design Superstar: Coloring Virtuoso

Hello friends!  I haven't posted to my blog in such a long time because facebook hasn't been allowing me to link my cards to it.  We will see if this works.  Today I am sharing a card I made for the My Favorite Things Design Contest.  I am entering this card into the Coloring Virtuoso category.  I had a hard time choosing between Clean and Simple and Coloring Virtuoso.  This is my idea of Clean and Simple, but I think it might not qualify, so I went with Coloring Viruoso.

I used a Birdie Brown stamp set called Birthday Buds.  I just love that little mouse and the adorable elephant.  I use an old Fishtail Flags Stax die for the white colored layer.  The other two layers were cut with scissors.  I used MFT petite plaid for the birthday hats and background paper panel.  Hope you like it.  Thanks for stopping by.

2's-DAY Tuesday May 5

Hello friends.  Today I have 2 cards to share using the same stamp set.  This set is Polka Dot Pals Imogen.  You can check out the store here to see what stamps are available for purchase.  If it is not available in the store you can always ask Kelly to order it for you.  She has really great customer service!

The first card I stamped with memento Angel Pink for some no-line coloring with copics and color pencil.  My friend Barbara is the illustrator of the Polka Dot Pals.  She is an amazing artist.  She encourages people to use her stamps in creative ways, like adding facial features or patterns.  As you can see I added an eye in place of just the black dot on the original image.

                                                                                                                                                                     My second card has the same image stamped with black memento ink.  I used a copic multiliner black pen to add some details to the card.  Kind of like a zentagle style.

                                                                                                                                                                             I hope you feel inspired to use your stamps in different ways.  Thanks so much for stopping by!  

Hugs and smiles,

Unicorns and Glitter

Hello friends!  Today I don't have 2 cards to share from the same set.  I do have a sweet card to share using a set I purchased from 7 Kids Craft Store.  This is My Favorite Things, Unicorns and Glitter.

This was a fun stamp to color.  I used the smaller star stamps to stamp a background paper.  She was colored with copics and color pencils.  The rainbow and sentiment were stamped  and cut out and placed with pop dots.  7 Kids Craft Store has a wide selection of clearance that you can check out here.  We will be having another Instagram Hop on May 2.  I will post the details soon.  Thanks so much for stopping by.

Hugs and smiles,

2's-Day Tuesday April 21

Hello friends!  Have you seen the new stamp line at 7 Kids Craft Store?  They are the cutest kitties.  Today I have 2 cards to share using the same stamp set, Kitten Gems. 

For this card I paper pieced the cat and the mouse.  The floor is a piece of woodgrain patterned paper.  The wall was colored with copic marker and I used a white jelly roll pen for the 3 dot pattern.

For this card I paper-pieced the background to look like a living room.  I stamped the mouse on some white cardstock and only used his head peaking out of a mouse hole in the wall.  Pretty kitty keeps a watchful eye on that mouse as she sits upon her rug.  7 Kids Craft Store has a special bundle price if you buy all 3 sets, for a limited time.  It's a great bargain and they are so cute.  Thanks so much for stopping by.

Hugs and smiles,

Janice
