Crafting During the Week




Hello and happy Thursday.  I've been crafting this week and have several cards to share.  First up is homework for my last day of MFT Summer School: White Space.  I used these adorable dogs from MFT Pups & Kisses.  I am also entering this card at The Card Concept #138c, Shopping Our Stash #426: KISS, and Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge:  Use Your Favorite Tool (Copics).








My next card was inspired by the sketch at MFT Sketch Challenge #501 and the colors at Color Throwdown #605.  I used another brand new to me MFT stamp set called Big Birthday Sentiments.  I used one of the sentiments and also a little candle stamp from the same set.  That candle stamp is the sort of extra little image I would normally never notice, but challenged myself to feature it on this card.

I am also entering this card at Seize the Birthday #196: No Topping and Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge: Happy Birthday, and Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge:  Use Your Favorite Tool (Tim Holtz Stamping platform--there is no way I could have stamped all 64 candles without it).









Next up is a card that features some of the cute dogs from Newton's Nook Woof Pack, inspired by the sketch at Inky Paws #129.  I focused in on a couple of the dogs in the pack, colored them and greyed out all the other dogs near by.  I am thinking if I have time, I might want to try this again with darker colors.  I am also entering this card at The Card Concept #138c and Shopping Our Stash #426: KISS.







I really liked the way this card came out the other day, so when I saw a few of the new challenges this week, I decided to use a different color paint chip and a more masculine-looking die cut sentiment.   

I am entering this card at Freshly Made Sketches #447, The Male Room #141: 7th Birthday (Happy Birthday to The Male Room!!), AAA Birthday #16: Tic Tac Toe (masculine/die cut/pattern paper), Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge: Happy Birthday, and Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge:  Use Your Favorite Tool (paint chips).







Last up is this card featuring these sweet elephants from Poppystamps.  I am entering this card at Poppy Challenge #71: Heat Wave (I used warm colors for my elephant ears and a spray of water to cool them off),  AAA Cards #171: Along the Edge, Shopping Our Stash #426: KISS and Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge:  Use Your Favorite Tool (texture plates).





Thanks for Visiting

  7. What a fun group of cards!! (Although I would argue that there IS such a thing as too many candles!). I love your use of the FMS sketch with the paint chip - it really shows off the fun sentiment. Thank you for playing along with us at Freshly Made Sketches.
