Hi, Friend

Happy Sunday! It is finally feeling like spring around here, so I created a spring-like card for today's post. I used MFT Wednesday Stamp Club Sketch #118 for the layout, and patterned papers are from Blossom Soup by Jillibean Soup.

The Die-namics Butterflies were cut from Berrylicious, Cotton Candy, and Orange Fizz cardstock, and the Fancy Flourish was cut from Sour Apple cardstock. The sentiment is from Inspired by the Front Porch.

I embellished with adhesive rhinestones, some zig zag stitching, and a trio of glitter dots.

Today is our last day of spring break -- it's back to school tomorrow! I am going to enjoy our beautiful weather before I get started on those lesson plans!

Thanks for visiting today! Have a great day!

Happy Birthday 2 You

Hi there! Happy Tuesday to you! Today's card is one that I made for Caroline's friend for her birthday. I love the way these colors and dies came together to create a fun design! I used MFT Wednesday Stamp Club Sketch #116. The MFT sketches are always a go-to for great layouts!

The long panel was the perfect location for the Die-namics Vertical Gift Card Pocket. I love the fun colors in these Lime Twist: Happy Go Lucky 6x6 papers (My Mind's Eye), and the MFT cardstocks and ink were the perfect complements! :)

I used this month's Triple Scoop Set, Birthday Sentiments, and stamped it in Blu Raspberry Premium Dye Ink. I rounded some corners, and I added a trio of adhesive rhinestones and a bit of machine stitching. Easy peasy! :)

Hello there! I hope you had a very happy, blessed Easter. We had a wonderful day with family. The girls and I are on spring break this week, so I'm counting on lots of crafty time! Here's my card for the latest MFT Wednesday Stamp Club sketch. You can find all the details HERE on the MFT Forum at Splitcoaststampers.

I kept things pretty clean and simple on this card. I sponged around the circle and sentiment with Kraft Premium Dye Ink, then I added some distressing, piercing, and a tiny bit of zig zag stitching. These Fly a Kite 6x6 papers (My Mind's Eye) are so much fun -- I find myself using them a lot lately!

For My Favorite Peeps!

Hi there! I am still floating on Cloud Nine after my time as MFT Guest Designer -- I had SUCH a blast designing with my friends on the amazing MFT Team! I'm back today to share one final card as my month comes to an end. It's for today's MFT Wednesday Stamp Club. You can find this week's sketch and all the fabulous WSC sketches on the MFT Forum at Splitcoaststampers.

I turned the sketch on its side so I could use this sweet Pure Innocence - One of My Favorite Peeps set.  This card goes out to Kim, Jody, Joanne and the rest of Team MFT -- truly some of my VERY favorite peeps in the whole world! :)

The papers are from the Fine and Dandy: Tickled Pink 6x6 pad by My Mind's Eye. I love how the bold patterns pop against the Whip Cream card base. I stamped the image on X-Press It Blending Card and colored with Copic markers. I paper pieced her dress and added a bit of shading with the Copics. I cut her out and popped her up on dimensional boosters, then I used pencils to add some grass. Finally, I embellished with Pretty Posies, a Sno Cone Button, and some twine.

Here's this week's sketch -- it's a great one!

{MFTWSC114} Home Sweet Home

Hello! I'm taking time between Teasers to share a card for this week's MFT Wednesday Stamp Club! You can get all the details for this week's sketch and all the WSC sketches on the MFT Forum at Splitcoaststampers. I went with a Western theme on my card, inspired by this sentiment from Western Sentiments, February's Triple Scoop set which will be released for purchase on the 11th!

I distressed the papers (from the Life of the Party 6x6 pad by Basic Grey) and added a bit of machine stitching. I made my own charm using Die-namics Stacking Stars and some brads, then I tied it to the card with hemp cord.

Here's the sketch so you can play along!
