Sea side fun

Today is Norway’s national day, so I figured a card that reminds me of a trip to the coast, in our flag’s colours, would be suitable.

It is another shaped card made with Mintay papers. Here I’ve used one of the papers as the focal point and added some of the cut-outs around the edge. I’ve pained the edges of the paper with white acrylic paint as usual. The circle dies I used here are from MFT Stamps and I’ve used enamel dots from Altenew to add another pop of red. The cardboard sentiment is by 49 and Market.

MFT Superstar Clean & Simple Genius

I’ve also made a Clean & Simple card for this year’s MFT Superstar. Once again, my markers have been out to play, and I’ve coloured up Birdie Brown’s Warmest Wishes. After colouring up a little background around her I’ve used that colour on the background paper from the Watercolor Wash paper pad. The sentiment, from the Bitty Holiday Wishes set, has been put to run along the edge to keep the focus on the right-hand side of the card. As I’ve put it that way around, I stuck with black ink so it would be easy to read still.

Apparently, it’s that time of the year again. MFT Stamps Superstar time! With the whole family off sick, I nearly missed the whole thing. Thankfully there were a few hours left!

For my Coloring Virtuoso entry this year I wanted to do something different, so I’ve stuck with just one stamp set, the Being with You stamp set by Stacey Yacula. I’ve done a full panel colouring with dark and bright colours using my Copic markers, and I’ve made a wedding card using a sentiment from Itty Bitty Basics. It can be for two men, two women or one of each. That’s what’s great about these stamps. Love is love.

Another no-line colouring again for today’s card. This time I’ve used one of the selfie stamps from My Favorite Things. Aren’t they cute? The background panel is made with green base card stock and a Lawn Fawn die cut cut out in white card stock. A Mathia Design sentiment and some enamel dots and.. voila!

MFT Party Mice

I haven’t made cards with any of my My Favorite Things stamps in a while, so it’s time to share one of those, and maybe also find my Copic og colored pencils to colour up some new ones soon. I coloured this one up as a part of a course this spring, so it’s been a while! I love these cute little mice.

The stamps, cardstock and word die are all by My Favorite Things, and the “celebrate” old style label is by Tim Holtz
