WSC 60 - Grateful

It's time for the sixtieth WSC sketch! This week is built around a large circle focal layer, perfect for your doily dies!

I found this gorgeous old Eva paper by Basic Grey in my stash and built my clean and simple card around it.

Pin It

All the stamping on my card is from the Framed Greetings Die-namics and stamp set. I've used the gorgeous new Orchid Twine through my buttons and finished off the card with a Zva Creative flourish.

I LOVE the matching border and doily Die-namics - here I've used the Dainty Doily Duo and Dainty Lace Border Die-namics.

Inside is as simple as can be, with lots of room for a heartfelt message.

Don't you just love those roses?! I've cut them from MFT felt and just love all the fullness. My image is coloured with Copics and paper pieced, I've added little freckles to that adorable face!

I used an E30 Copic for the light freckles.

WSC 59 - Fix It Fred!

It's time for another Wednesday Sketch Challenge with My Favorite Things! This week I've used the brand new Fix It Fred - he's perfect for masculine cards! Here's the sketch:

Nice and simple right?

Pin It

I coloured Fred and cut him out of the box a little. Hanging from my button is an embellishment created with the Tool Charm Die-namics - how cute are these?!

Inside I shadow stamped Fred, and added another cute little charm.

Creative Challenge - Baby!

It doesn't take much to get me thinking babies these days - our wee one is kicking regularly now and I'm still in the "delighted to feel him - not jammed under my ribs" stage, so it's lovely. Oh yeah, did I mention we're having a boy?! We're so excited!

So this month's My Favorite Things Creative Challenge was perfect for me! I had this idea right away, for a clean and simple thank you card for baby gifts. This design has lots of pop, but can be quickly replicated.

Pin It

I did try using a designer paper layer, but in the end it looked best with crisp white and bold cardstock. The sentiment was created using the By the Letters Die-namics. The flag was cut from a Mix and Match Banner Die-namics and the little felt onesie is from the Notched Tag Die-namics. A pierced border finishes it all off.

The inside is nice and crisp too. The sentiment is from Just my Type.

WSC 58 - Better Place

I'm back with my card for this weeks MFT WSC challenge - WSC 58. I tried to post this a few days ago but somehow managed to not save my card and description, we'll just put that down to baby brain shall we?! A nice sunny day today ensured some clear photos, so there is a silver lining!

Here's the awesome sketch for this week:

And here's my card...

Pin It

I've used the AWESOME Vertical Greetings Die-namics and stamp set. I LOVE this set, it's my favourite from this month's release. I made the Vertical Greetings panel a little longer by adding designer paper panels to each end. I edged the whole thing with a brown marker, that's my quick cheats way of adding a little border to a die cut shape.

The sentiment inside my card is from the Happy Thoughts set - this is a must have in my collection, I love all the sentiments and there is something for every occasion!
