Hey crafty friends! I am working ahead on my Christmas cards by joining the current MFT Stamps Ready, Set, Christmas challenge.
I used MFT Stamps’ stamps and dies to create a fun Christmas card, perfect for my dog lover family, or friends.

Hi crafty friends! I hope you’re doing well and enjoying your weekend. One of the highlights of the Christmas Season is sending and receiving Christmas cards. As a card maker, I absolutely love to create Christmas cards to send out to my family and friends.
Today, I’m sharing a card I created using MFT Stamps’ Christmas Cheer stamp set. I love any stamp set that features critters, but this one is especially adorable. I started by creating the masks for my stamped images and stamping the images in the front first, followed by the background.
Arctic Fox: E41, E50, W00, R30
Bunny: E44, E43, E42, E41, Blender
Tree: G17, G02, G00, G000
Red: R39, R29, R24
Trees in the back: BG72, G17, G02
Snow: G02, G00, G000, G0000
When I create a one-layer card, I usually ink blend the background before coloring. I do this just in case I don’t like the background, or some bleed-through occurs, and it won’t ruin the colored images. For this background, I used Cracked Pistachio, Evergreen Bough Distress Oxide inks on the card front, and Pine Needles Distress Oxide ink just on the edges of the card. I added white splatters for my snowy scene. Then I colored the images.
To finish the card, I heat embossed and sentiment and added highlights with my white gel pen. I really hope you enjoy this card and as always, thank you so much for stopping by; until next time….sprinkle a little creativity on your day!
The current Slimline Challenge by MFT Stamps inspired this card
Hi crafty friends, I hope you are having a great week and looking forward to the weekend! I know I sure am. It has been a few long and exhausting weeks. As a Floridian, I prepared for Hurricane Ian to make land-fall near my home. Thankfully, my area was spared, but my heart breaks for the neighbors south of me who lost so much. It’s very conflicting to feel thankful and devasted at the same time. However, it is heartwarming to see our communities come together to help those most affected by this destructive storm.
One way I cope with stress is to take time and color. Lately, I’ve been spending a little extra time coloring some of my older stamp sets. I chose two stamps from MFT Stamps to create a fall-inspired grateful card.
I stamped and colored several images from MFT Stamps’ BB Harvest Mouse and Fall Friends (discontinued) with my Copic Markers.
Mouse: W5, W3, W1, W0
Shirt: YR23, Y15, Y13
Pants: B29, B24
Scarecrow: YR12, YR21, YR31
Shirt: YG17, YG23, YG21
Pants: B29, B24, B23
Hat: E29, E25, E23
Barrel: E23, E21
Apples: R27, R24, R22
Pumpkins: YR18, YR04, Y38, E23
Red Leaf: R39, R29, R17, R14
Green Leaf: EYG17, YG25, YG23, YG21
For the background, I quickly water-colored a slimline die-cut with yellow and orange watercolors. Then, with green watercolor, I painted a small panel for the grass.
I attached the images with foam adhesive or glue dots, stamped the large sentiment, and heat embossed with black embossing powder.
I hope you enjoyed my card today, as always, thank you so much for stopping by; until next time….sprinkle a little creativity on your day!

Hi crafty friends! I’m super excited for today’s card share because it’s my first ever dimensional box card featuring MFT Stamps’ Outside the Box Die-Namics.
Today’s card features an older stamp by MFT Stamps called Jungle Vibes. I stamped and colored all of the images with my Copic Markers in the following combination.
Elephant: C7, C5, C3, C1, C0
Zebras: C7, C5, C3, C1, C0
Guitars: E27, E25, E23, E21
Lion: YR27, YR24, YR23, YR21
Lion Mane: E59, E57, E55, E53
Monkey: E49, E47, E27, E25, E23, E21
Palm Trees: E47, E44, E42, E41, YG67, YG17, YG06, YG03, YG01
Pink: RV17, RV55, RV52
Teal: BG49, BG45, BG32
Yellow: Y17, Y15, Y11
Next, I set out to create the dimensional box card by die-cutting all the builder elements with white heavy-weight cardstock while the teal pieces were die-cut from teal cardstock. I added a little shading with Mermaid Lagoon Distress Oxide ink to give it some interest.
To assemble my little scene, I die cut the Outside the Box Grassy Hills Die-namics from green cardstock inked Pine Needles Distress Oxide ink to the bottom edge, and adhered it to the box card.
I added all of the images with liquid adhesive and stamped the sentiment to the front strip to complete my project.
I was inspired by the current MFT Outside the Box – Summer Fun Challenge and you are inspired to participate. As always thank you so much for stopping by, until next time….sprinkle a little creativity on your day!

Hi crafty friends! What is it about rainbows that put a smile on people’s faces? Maybe it’s because a rainbow symbolizes hope, happiness, and a sense of excitement. Or, maybe it’s the promise of sunshine after the rain. Whatever feelings a rainbow elicits for you, for these two friends, a rainbow makes their hearts feel happy!
I stamped and colored the image from MFT Stamps’ Bunny Wishes set using Copic Markers. Next, I die-cut the SMILE die-namics and used Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers to add the rainbow colors.
Bunnies: E44, E43, E2, E41
Pink: 025, 200
Yellow: 052, 050, 051
Green: 041, 053
Blue: 030, 031, 036
Purple: 080, 081
To create the scene, first I die cut smooth cardstock using a stitched slimline die then, I ink blended the sky using the Micro Cloud Stencil and Distress Oxide ink in Mermaid Lagoon. I used a stitched hillside die to create a grounding element for my image and added a little shading with Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide ink.
To finish my card, I stamped and embossed a sentiment, then added all the images with liquid adhesive or glue dots. A quick little tip for aligning the large SMILE die-cut is to use a ruler since the letters are individual and I wanted to be sure that such a bold sentiment was perfectly straight.
I was inspired by the current MFT Slimline Challenge to create a rainbow-inspired card. I hope you enjoy this card and are inspired to participate, as always thank you so much for stopping by, until next time….sprinkle a little creativity on your day!

Stitched Card Panels and Windows Slimline Die set

Hey crafty friends! All this month, I am teaching my preschoolers about Spring. Some of the simple concepts we discuss are weather changes, flowers, and of course all the baby animals. This card certainly makes me think of Spring with a bright and cheery background.

I love to integrate bright backgrounds and for this card, I created a sunny cloudy sky using Squeezed Lemonade Distress Oxide ink. For the grassy hill, I simply die-cut a piece of white cardstock and ink blended the bottom portion with Twisted Citron and Mowed Lawn at the top. I splattered both panels with white paint for texture.
Once the panels were dry, I used a stitched slimline rectangle die to die cut the entire panel. Then, I stamped the sentiment with VersaFine Black Onyx ink. To finish the card, I added all of the images using glue dots or liquid adhesive.
For this card, I was inspired by the MFT Slimline challenge.

For the background, I ink blended a teal piece of cardstock with Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide in the center and added a little bit of Peacock Feathers at the edge of the panel. To give the background more texture, I added white and teal splatters to the panel.
Next, I die-cut a piece of green cardstock and ink blended the top of the hills with Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide ink. Again, I added white and green splatters for some texture.
Once the panels were dry, I used a stitched slimline rectangle die to die cut the entire panel. Then, I stamped the sentiment with VersaFine Black Onyx ink, my favorite for sentiment stamping. And lastly, I added all of the images using glue dots or liquid adhesive.

Hi crafty friends! Aren’t these bears adorable??? Well, if you ask me, ALL bears are adorable. I am a teddy bear collector and my love of teddy bears comes out of my childhood love for the teddy bear.
For this card, I used a recently released We Beelong stamp set by MFT Stamps. I began the card by stamping all of the images using Memento Tuxedo Black dye ink onto a piece of Neenah Solar White 80lb. cardstock.
Bears: E44, E43, E42, E41, R30
Water: BG45, BG53, BG01, BG000
Flowers: RV19, RV02, Y17
Grass: YG17, YG05, YG01
Bee: Y17, Y15, Y11, W9, W5, W3, BG02, BG000
For the background, I ink blended two hillside die cuts and the sky. Next, I added some hearts with a heart stencil then added interest with blue ink splatters.
Using a sweet sentiment from the stamp set, I white heat embossed it onto a piece of black cardstock before trimming it with a sentiment strip. Lastly, I added all of the elements to the front of my card panel using foam adhesive, liquid glue, or glue dots.
I was inspired by the MFT Color Challenge to create this card following the color combination below.

Hey crafty friends! It has been such a busy week that I absolutely needed some downtime and what better way to relax than to create a fun card. Normally, I find coloring to be my solace and these guys are just the cutest image.
Unfortunately, this stamp set is discontinued but there are a ton of other stamps similar to this one by MFT Stamps.
I started my card by creating the background first. Using MFT Stamps’ Mini Cloud Edges stencil, I created a fun cloudy sky with Distress Oxide Ink in Mermaid Lagoon. Next, I stamped and colored my images using Copic Markers.
Leopards: YR18, YR14, Y35, Y23, YR30
Nose/Snout: YR24, Y23, YR30
Brown: E29, E27, E25
Green: YG17, YG05, YG03, YG01
After coloring all of the images, I used the coordinating dies and set the images aside to continue creating the background.
I ink blended the grassy hill using Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide ink then added a little Lucky Clover to create some depth. For the last element on my scene card, I die-cut yellow cardstock and added Wild Honey and Carved Pumpkin Distress Oxide for dimension.
After coloring and ink blending, I began building my scene card by adding the image and die cuts with foam adhesive or liquid glue.
And finally, I heat embossed the sentiment onto a piece of black cardstock and trimmed it with a banner sentiment strip.
I hope you enjoyed my card as much as I enjoyed making it. As a bonus, I have the perfect recipients for this card in mind. I want them to know that even though we have not seen each other for a while, I hold them very dear in my heart.
This card was inspired by the MFT Stamps Sketch Challenge to create this fun friendship card.
That’s all for me today, as always thank you so much for stopping by until next time….sprinkle a little creativity on your day!
