My Favorite Things stamps

Christmas Nativity

| Lisa K

I created a nativity card today. I am entering it in the Peace on Earth challenge.

I used the My Favorite Things stamp set called Away in a Manger for this card. The star is from another set by Recollections. I like the simplicity of the set and the words included.

I like the moodboard, but went with the anything goes option. Thanks for coming by. I have been busy with challenges with Splitcoast Stampers as I have been asked to be active for a few months with the Dirty Dozen Design team. That doesn’t take all of my time, but it seems to keep me busy for a while. I appreciate your time and comments.

Floral Stencil Hello

| Lisa K

I make a lot of cards that say Hello as they can be used for anything. I also make a lot of Thinking of You cards for the same reason; they can be adapted to be used for many occasions. Today, I combined the two greetings into one floral card.

I used the layering stencil from Gina K Designs called A Little Hello Layering Stencil Bundle. My Thinking of You greeting strip came from My Favorite Things Itty Bitty Basics with strip die to cut it out.

I used Lawn Fawn inks to blend the layers. I used Lemonade for the flower base layer, then added Peach Fuzz for the strips. The circle center is Fake Tan (orange color). The greens used are Celery Stalk and Freshly Cut Grass. After the ink blending was finished and dry, I came back with Simon Hurley Solar Paste. It adds a shimmer of sparkle when it is flashed in the light; it does not photograph well to see the shine.

Floral Birthday Slimline

| Lisa K

I decided to play along with this week’s MFT Sketch.

I used dies from MFT for this card. They are retired and I do not have the name handy. I pulled cut ones from my stash and placed them on patterned paper that matched cardstock in my stash. The top piece of cardstock is MFT while the card base is Gina K Designs. I can’t tell you the color names as I sorted my GKD paper by color and didn’t label with specific names. The MFT cardstock is my itself, but I do not know the names. Welcome to my storage method. I know the stitched lines die is from Gina Marie Designs. The slimline circle die that I used to cut the circles is from The Stamps of Life as well as the scalloped border. The banner die is Spellbinders.

Thanks for stopping by and checking out my card. The sketch is a WEBP file and I am struggling with saving and posting these. The sketch resembles an A2 size, but one of the designer samples is a slimline size. I chose that size as these floral images fit better on a slimline size.
