MFT Merry & Bright

I wanted to play with a new set of stamps I got from MFT called "Cozy Companions".  Honestly I really only bought it for the fireplace.  LOL!!  It turned out to be a really great masculine xmas card just by adding some garland to the staircase (my sister thought the top angle cut is where you'd be walking up the stairs - 😀) and some fireplace decorations.  Well and the addition of the "Merry & Bright" sentiment just set it right off!  🎄

Again I decided to join the MFT sketch challenge #513 with a few little tweaks of my own.

Are you getting your xmas cards ready yet?  
Thanks for peeking!!

MFT Merry Wishes

Tell me you didn't just go "awwwwwww"....cuz I sure did when I finished the card.  I think tho, it has a lot to do with these cute little creatures!  I've use MFT's "Merry Wishes" stamps and the paper is from Photoplay's Christmas Cheer 6 x 6 paper pad.  It's AWESOME!! 

I've coloured with my copics again....they're just so quick and easy but I should try my Zig Clean Brush markers.  I bet these images would be easy to use them with and super cute.  For some details I've added liquid pearls to the tree, stickles to the snow on the cabin and bird's pom pom and some glossy accents on the cabin.  All these minor details just add so much to a card don't ya think?

A closer look a that super cute cabin.  Oooooo bet it's so cozy inside with fireplace going, sitting on the couch with a hot chocolate and Bailey's and a blanket over your lap while watching snowflakes fall through the windows.  Sigh.....I wish snow gave me that amazing feeling year round.  🤣🤣

I hope you like this even tho it is a bit simpler for me because I'm enjoying making them.  It's nice to be able to get 2 of these done in the time it takes me to do 1 for my other style.  A few years ago someone had mentioned to me that a certain CHA was all about quick and easy.  At the time I couldn't understand ... what?  Why?!  Now I get it.  🤣🤣🤣😂😂

Thanks for stopping by!

Hugs,

Eulanda

Thanks A Latte!

I needed a relatively quick card but I also wanted to play with my new Tonic Coffee Die & Shaker that I got from Scrap N Stamp Canada!  3 other shakers might have ended up in my basket too!  😳😂😂  So I had to go searching online for some digital papers when I stumbled upon the Graciellie Design online store.  There are some very nice paper packs as well as digi's there so I was pretty happy!!  This set of papers is Coffee Lovers Digital Paper pack.

I added some Picket Fence sequins from Scrap 'n Stamp but I don't think I'm done purchasing those either.  They have some new mixes and I'm likin' them a lot!  

I added some glossy accents to the Tim Holtz spoon then covered with distress stickles to make it appear there's still sugar on the spoon.  The little sugar cubes are real sugar cubes that I filed down to size to fit.  By the way, those sugar cubes are freakin' tough!!  I thought I might have to go through a couple of broken ones but nope!!  Just filed them down and voila!!

I hope you've enjoyed my card.  Thanks a latte for stopping by!!!  😀

A Beary Mice Surprise

Just a card I had shared on FB but I didn't add it onto my blog.  As the title of the post says, this image is "A Beary Mice Surprise" from Di's Digital Stamps.  She also has a pre-coloured image if you're in a hurry or you're not into colouring so much.  LOL! 

I made a super cute confetti shaker card.  I cut the YUM sentiment 4 times in white and then once in teal.  I realized it needed a bit more zip so I added some stickles to the top.

I coloured this image using my copics and also learned some of my techniques form Kit & Clowder.  She has some really amazing classes.  In fact, I would say they are the best but she has some Create & Learn monthly classes where you can learn lots as well for a mere $20!!  Great pricing!! 

Enjoy your Sunday!  I'm off to colour!  YAY! 

Hugs,

Eulanda

Wishing You Christmas Cheer

I thought I would join in on MFT’s sketch challenge this week. I decided to use the stamps from the “Christmas Cheer” set to create this little cutie scene. 💕 I’ve distressed the background using distress oxides which just happens to be my favourite background technique at the moment. I even enjoyed adding splats and have managed to keep them off my clothes and surrounding area’s now. 😂😂

I tend to really think outside the box when it comes to sketches.  I've used MFT's "Cloud Cover" dies to use as snow drifts, which would represent the 2 strips under the main focal square.

Here are the colours I've used for my background:

Well that was fun!!  On to the next card!  Hee Hee!!

Hugs to all!

Print and Cut using SVG files and PNG digi images

Welcome back!!  Today I'm going to share a quick video tutorial on how to print and cut your digi images and SVG images.

For this quick and easy card I've used images and cutting files from the big Waddy and Wanda Penguin bundle.  This is so handy for when you're in a pinch and need something in a hurry.  Or, you can make it fancier by printing off the images and colouring them yourself but I opted for the pre-coloured images.

I printed off 2 layers of images.  The first one, I die cut using a circle die and the 2nd set I cut with my Silhouette and popped up with some foam dots for some dimension.  

I've used Polkadoodles Merry Christmas die and then adhered some black glitter to the sentiment using glue from a stick pen to make it easier.  It was still a bit difficult I won't kid you.  Hindsight next time I would use black glitter paper.  🤦🏼‍♀️😂😂😂

Here is my video to print and cut.  I hope it's something you find useful.  😀
