For a Friend

I made this card for a friend. I love this DP.

I colored the image with my copic markers.

Happy Mail

I was so happy to receive my MFT VIP Kit and also the First Place Ribbon stamp set and Dienamic Duo set. Since being off work I have been extremely bored, so now I have some new toys to get my MOJO going. This is the first card I made with my new stuff.

Last night I was trying to kick start my mojo and pulled out some stuff and made these...

Thanks for looking!

October MFT VIP Kit is Here!!

My new MFT VIP kit arrived a while ago, but between work and the nasty sinus cold I just survived, I have only now just finished it. The Bad new is the batteries in my camera are dead. I'll photograph and post the card as soon as I get new batteries. Trust me it is worth the wait!!

Who's That Garden Girl?

This months MFT VIP KIT arrived this week and it is garden themed. So, I had to make a card with this kit ASAP!! The girl`s outfit is paper pieced, the tomatoes have clear glaze on them to make them shiny and I love this gathered gingham ribbon!! The paper is from Cosmo Crickets Garden Variety paper pack. I hope you like this card!! This stampset is being released on July 7th at the MFT new release party.

Pure Innocence- My Balloon

This stamp is soooo cute. This is fron a new line of stamps from MFT called Pure Innocence. They are all sooooo cute. This is my card for the February Guest Designer Challenge over at SCS.

Owls for Christmas???

My second Christmas card features the MFT stamp set, Christmas Owls. The image was stamped using Memento Black ink and colored with Copics and Spica glitter pens. The image was then layered on a piece of real red cardstock. The card base is a left over piece of the now retired wild wasabi cardstock fron Stampin' Up. And the layering a piece of left over DP from an old christmas DP pad. The sentiment was stamped on a piece of Gina K.'s white pure luxury cardstockm cut out and embossed with the spellbinders ribbon tag die and sponged with Wild Wasabi ink before removing it from the die. it was secured to the card using a left over piece of red ribbon. Isn't it cute, so fun!! Susan

For Samantha

I made this cute little door hanger for a male friend of mine's daughter. I thought it was perfect as he calls her "Princess" all the time. I used my new "Night Night Ellie" from MFT. The printed paper is from Basic Grey's Porcelain paper pad. I adhered a piece of paper from the pad to a chipboard coaster, trimmed it and sanded the edges. Next, I stamped Ellie on a piece of plain white cardstock from GKD and paper pieced her pajamas and slippers. I masked Ellie and used the star stamp from the set and added little stars all around her. I mounted the white cardstock onto another piece of printed paper and the stuck it on the coaster. I lined up the three words on a clear mount and stamped them with memento tuxexo black ink. The moon was stamped directly on the printed paper and cover with a thick layer of yellow stickles. Her hair and skin were colored with copics prior to the paper piecing. I found I had a big empty spot so I added some MFT glitter flowers colored with copics, and added a glitter brad in the centre. I then added four blue swarovski crystals around Ellie, for a little more bling. To finish I punched a hole in each top corner, fed throught some ribbon, from MFT of course :) secured it with a couple of brads. I took it to her father who will give to her when she comes for the weekend. Hope she likes it. Susan

Congrats MFT IDOL Finalists

I made this card to congratulate all the finalists in the MFT IDOL challenge. There are many talented ladies who made beautiful creations for the challenge. This is also my MFTSC71 card. I used my "Digital Girl" stamp set from MFT, stamped the image with memento tuxedo black ink, colored it with copic markers, and paper pieced the dress. The DP is from Basic Grey's Marrakech paper pad. I added a little bling with some Swarovski crystals, and glitter flowers and brad, all from MFT. Additionally, I would like you all to note the new gadget on my side bar for the SCS Victorian Bushfire appeal 2009. I was not aware of the Australian bush fires and the damage being done until I read the store. You can read it too, and help if you can. There are many prizes you can win, just for doing a great thing. Have a happy and safe Wednesday, Susan

Two Challenges in one card!!

For this card I combined the MFTSC70 sketch Challenge and this weeks MFTWTG25 which was to use the stamp set "Who's That E-Girl", use some paper piecing and add a little bling. I think I covered it all. What do you think???

MFT IDOL

This is the card I made for the MFT IDOL Challenge. I used all MFT products except my card base, and scalloped circle. The stamp set is new this month, "Hangin' with my Peeps". How cute is that. The printed papers, ribbon and crystals are from the MFT spring collection. The ladies dress is paper pieced as is the little chick on the circle. The large layer was punches using one of Martha Stewart's heart edge punches. I also masked the ladies legs to add the grass at the edge of the cement. Each chick was colored with a yellow spica glitter penand I paper pierced around the outer edge of the card and scalloped circle. The sentiment was stamped with memento tuxedo black ink after I cut it in half and arranged it on a circle block. I love how flexible these are it makes them so easy to shape.

MFT Ambassador Challenge #1

The new release party over at the MFT forum on SCS was last night. The new sets are fabulous. I love the challenges and this one was to have three buttons and something blue on the card. Since a new Flopsey was being released and I had not used my one from last month, I decided to make a card with it. I used brilliance blue and bashful blue cardstock, a piece of glitter DP I got in a glitter paper pack last year. Three little brilliant blue buttons, and matching ribbon. I colored Flopsey with copics, paper pieced the cupcake bottom, dotted the icing, and added stickles to make the icing all glittery.The corners of the brilliant blue layer were punched with the wrought iron corner punch. The image was cut using oval nestabilities.

And I Said...

I just couldn't wait to share my newest stamp set with you. It's called And I said.. from MFT. I order the product bundle a couple of weeks ago and it came today. It included the stamp set, peerless watercolors, a palette, glitter ribbons, glitter flowers and brads, a white gels pen and a stamp storage case. I couldn't wait to ink up those stamps. This is what I came up with.

Just Another Friday

Today I spent making many many cards. I started with a one sheet wonder template and made 10 Christmas cards. Then I caught up on the challenges I had not completed on SCS. Then I added them to my albums over at PCP. Next I joined a blogger group on SCS and added their blogs to mine. Now for a card. This is my favorite card I made today, I made for the MFT sketch challenge. I just love the layout and who can resist the yummy cupcake. I'm not sure everyone would agree that Christmas is a cupcake kind of day, but I sure do!! Hope you all have a cupcake kind of day!! Susan
