Today is the day in the month where the My Favorite Things design team does a "creative challenge". This month was the theme of BABY. My sewing machine was missing me so I decided to make my own little facecloth that would be a sweet little gift.<br /><br />I stamped the <a href="http://www.mftstamps.com/Pure-Innocence-Girl-and-Baby?filter_name=baby">"Girl and Baby"</a> pure innocence image with versacraft ink on some canvas. I then stitched with color embroidery floss around the outline of the image. I made little knots for the eyes and filled in the stitching on the little baby in the blanket she is holding. This went <span style="font-size: large;">surprisingly quick</span> as it took me as long as it would take me to traditionally color the image. <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-gP_E_uikxTE/Tzlwd3BqUbI/AAAAAAAAGm0/VgWFG_6v6Is/s1600/rolledfacecloth.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-gP_E_uikxTE/Tzlwd3BqUbI/AAAAAAAAGm0/VgWFG_6v6Is/s1600/rolledfacecloth.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ZThsMxP_ftI/TzlwezW0C1I/AAAAAAAAGm8/VZ7JjapNSac/s1600/closeribbon.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="275" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ZThsMxP_ftI/TzlwezW0C1I/AAAAAAAAGm8/VZ7JjapNSac/s400/closeribbon.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>Like any gift....it is about the presentation. I rolled up the little facecloth and tied a twill tape ribbon. I then used a couple of Die-namics.<br /><br />I had some scrap face cloth material where I used the <a href="http://www.mftstamps.com/index.php?route=product/product&amp;filter_name=rolled&amp;product_id=889">"Rolled Rose" </a>Die-namics and some pink felt with the<a href="http://www.mftstamps.com/index.php?route=product/product&amp;filter_name=hearts&amp;product_id=948"> "Hearts a Plenty" </a>Die-namics.<br /><br />Off to see what the other girls came up with for this sweet baby challenge. The full list of participating designers are on the <a href="https://www.mftstamps.com/blog/">MFT blog</a>.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1698968979707489176-8673358009866905647?l=sherrie-cardcreme.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Sherriehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17247659960117718993noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1698968979707489176.post-71210924576717595402012-02-10T10:02:00.000-08:002012-02-10T10:02:26.584-08:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-RqUU3Bja4V4/TzVXvr-Hp6I/AAAAAAAAGmc/lUH6CfMjPTk/s1600/Edmontonfloralcopicclass.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-RqUU3Bja4V4/TzVXvr-Hp6I/AAAAAAAAGmc/lUH6CfMjPTk/s1600/Edmontonfloralcopicclass.jpg" /></a></div>I will be traveling to Edmonton the first weekend in March to teach copic <a href="http://www.copicmarker.com/certification">Standard and Intermediate Certifications.</a>&nbsp; There is a little space left in both certifications so here is your chance to take one of these classes while I am in Alberta! You can find the applications for the Standard class <a href="http://www.copicmarker.com/certification/standard">HERE</a> and the Intermediate class <a href="http://www.copicmarker.com/certification/intermediate">HERE</a>.<br /><br />I will be doing a couple of card classes at a great scrapbooking store named<a href="http://www.scrapandbean.com/"> "Scrap and Bean"</a>. They have a coffee shop on site.....isn't that fabulous!<br /><br />This is a photo of the floral class I will be teaching March 1st 3-5pm. Look at all the pretty colors we will play with.

The large flowers are from My Favorite Things<a href="http://www.mftstamps.com/clear-stamps/Inspired-By/inspired-by-flowers-set-3"> "Inspired by Flowers Set 3" </a>and <a href="http://www.mftstamps.com/clear-stamps/Inspired-By/Inspired-by-flowers-set-4">"Inspired by Flowers Set 4"</a>.

Release time for<a href="http://www.mftstamps.com/index.php?route=common/home"> My Favorite Things</a>! I could hardly wait to show off this "Firefighter Boy PI".&nbsp; I actually colored him up with my copics while demoing at the copic booth at CHA. Love how these reds turned out! R05,24,27,59.<br /><br />I had a little fun with the airbrush system too, coloring my jewel flourish with YR16,R08 and Black 110. I tucked the skyline border in behind my image...and why waste the negative portion? I adhered that to the inside of my card (left) and it made a great little frame for the stamped sentiment.<br /><br />For the inside firefighter I stamped in versamark ink and embossed with white detail powder.<br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #cc0000;">SUPPLIES:</span></span><br /><div><table border="0" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0"><tbody><tr><td><div style="display: table-cell; float: left; height: 189px; text-align: center;"><div style="display: table-cell; height: 104px; vertical-align: middle; width: 107px;"><a href="http://lm.inlinkz.com/go.php?i=66542&amp;c=11102" target="_blank" title="Firefighter Boy PI"> <img src="http://lm.inlinkz.com/thumbs/20120207/12244/100/1328636573.97" /> </a> </div><div style="line-height: 1.1; overflow: hidden; text-align: center; vertical-align: bottom; width: 107px;"><a href="http://lm.inlinkz.com/go.php?i=66542&amp;c=11102" target="_blank" title="Firefighter Boy PI"> Firefighter Boy PI<br /> </a> </div></div></td><td><div style="display: table-cell; float: left; height: 189px; text-align: center;"><div style="display: table-cell; height: 104px; vertical-align: middle; width: 107px;"><a href="http://lm.inlinkz.com/go.php?i=66544&amp;c=11102" target="_blank" title="Skyline Border Die-namics"> <img src="http://lm.inlinkz.com/thumbs/20120207/12244/100/1328636645.4" /> </a> </div><div style="line-height: 1.1; overflow: hidden; text-align: center; vertical-align: bottom; width: 107px;"><a href="http://lm.inlinkz.com/go.php?i=66544&amp;c=11102" target="_blank" title="Skyline Border Die-namics"> Skyline Border Die-namics<br /> </a> </div></div></td><td><div style="display: table-cell; float: left; height: 189px; text-align: center;"><div style="display: table-cell; height: 104px; vertical-align: middle; width: 107px;"><a href="http://lm.inlinkz.com/go.php?i=66547&amp;c=11102" target="_blank" title="Copic Markers MFT"> <img src="http://lm.inlinkz.com/thumbs/20120207/12244/100/1328636812.63" /> </a> </div><div style="line-height: 1.1; overflow: hidden; text-align: center; vertical-align: bottom; width: 107px;"><a href="http://lm.inlinkz.com/go.php?i=66547&amp;c=11102" target="_blank" title="Copic Markers MFT"> Copic Markers MFT<br /> </a> </div></div></td></tr></tbody></table></div><div><a href="http://www.inlinkz.com/" style="color: #bbbbbb; font: normal normal normal 10px/normal arial; text-decoration: none;">InLinkz.com</a></div><img height="0" src="http://lm.inlinkz.com/cimp.php?c=11102" style="border: none !important; margin: 0 !important; padding: 0 !important;" width="0" />Make sure you stop by all the designers on the product tour.....your tour guide is the <a href="https://www.mftstamps.com/blog/">MFT blog</a>!<br /><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1698968979707489176-1644788016096609639?l=sherrie-cardcreme.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Sherriehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17247659960117718993noreply@blogger.com16tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1698968979707489176.post-44927069243852214692012-02-05T13:43:00.000-08:002012-02-05T13:46:27.438-08:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-B7UWgKkNpRg/Ty72Ym4_mzI/AAAAAAAAGlc/L-4okUQ4rjQ/s1600/IMG_6959.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-B7UWgKkNpRg/Ty72Ym4_mzI/AAAAAAAAGlc/L-4okUQ4rjQ/s400/IMG_6959.jpg" width="310" /></a></div>&nbsp;Today's "Sunday Snap" is picture that I took of my daughter and then made into a sweet 8.5x11 layout. This is where my daughter loves to create....it is on our piano :)<br /><br />This is a pretty combo of<a href="http://melissafrances.com/"> Melissa Frances</a> papers and resin and my<a href="http://affiliates.copicmarker.com//jrox.php?id=104_1_bid_4"> Copic Airbrush system</a>. This layout was actually in the copic booth this CHA. If you look closely the damask stencil I airbrushed with V99 over the patterned paper and the picture itself.<br /><br />I had the canvas work "Create" and decided to match it to my color scheme. I airbrushed them first with G24 and then laid my damask stencil (from the<a href="http://www.google.ca/url?sa=t&amp;rct=j&amp;q=crafter%27s%20workshop&amp;source=web&amp;cd=1&amp;ved=0CCoQFjAA&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.thecraftersworkshop.com%2F&amp;ei=bfguT9KkJeSiiQKJ1eS2Cg&amp;usg=AFQjCNEI8Iu7RnmWd8K9OWVWMy4rkK0IDQ&amp;cad=rja"> Crafter's Workshop</a>) over the letters and sprayed some V99.<br /><br />The resin piece was also airbrushed...these all come in white and are just begging for color. I have some new resin pieces and look forward to coloring those up to show you soon!<br /><br /><br /><br />Enjoy your Sunday afternoon and I hope you find time to.......<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-YtfR73AZUAQ/Ty72cLwC6fI/AAAAAAAAGlk/OZ1pv-6XCJs/s1600/IMG_6961.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="123" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-YtfR73AZUAQ/Ty72cLwC6fI/AAAAAAAAGlk/OZ1pv-6XCJs/s400/IMG_6961.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1698968979707489176-4492706924385221469?l=sherrie-cardcreme.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Sherriehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17247659960117718993noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1698968979707489176.post-42170296442183664742012-02-04T21:00:00.000-08:002012-02-04T21:00:02.473-08:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-lB9zIVX6lKo/TyxCvPXu9BI/AAAAAAAAGlM/PKbnFUeuyMs/s1600/applegirl.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-lB9zIVX6lKo/TyxCvPXu9BI/AAAAAAAAGlM/PKbnFUeuyMs/s1600/applegirl.jpg" /></a></div>&nbsp;I am an "apple girl"....when I see an "electronics" image I think apple. I whipped up this cute shaped card on my cricut.

They turned out SO CUTE! After I was finished creating them I decided that they would be great little gifts/favors and prettied up some packaging.<br /><br />I used one of the brand new Melissa Frances paper lines! Love the sassy, glamourious women.<br /><br />To create the clips, I simply used silver bobby pins and tied a flat button on the end. I covered the button with Ranger glossy acccents and then covered them with Vintage Glass. SOOOOO EASY! <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-P_QNjF2WeWc/TywqTfg4MXI/AAAAAAAAGjs/J3uteBn2PDs/s1600/IMG_6158.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-P_QNjF2WeWc/TywqTfg4MXI/AAAAAAAAGjs/J3uteBn2PDs/s400/IMG_6158.jpg" width="396" /></a></div>&nbsp;Here are the three colors I chose....but I still really need to do a pink pair and a red pair too!<br />Below are some shots from the Melissa Frances Booth at CHA.....<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-CnfSS3G-YFo/TywqaMZ49VI/AAAAAAAAGj0/w1-WAnerV2k/s1600/IMG_7035.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="375" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-CnfSS3G-YFo/TywqaMZ49VI/AAAAAAAAGj0/w1-WAnerV2k/s400/IMG_7035.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>&nbsp;Melissa Frances is going to start carrying some home decor items.....yay!

This is "Water Lily" Pure Innocence girl from MFT. I colored her up with my copics and created a little pond for her flowers using my copic multiliner pen. It was fun to draw such a simple little scene for her!<br /><br />Last day for me here at CHA! It has been a great show!

Melissa Frances has a brand new paper line....inspired by the "Thankful" collection comes "C'est la Vie"! You can visit the <a href="http://melissafrances.typepad.com/my_weblog/2012/01/new-cest-la-vie-collection-launching-at-cha.html">Melissa Frances Blog</a> to see the collection.<br /><br />Part proceeds from the sales of this paper collection will be donated to<a href="http://breastcancer.org/"> breastcancer.org</a>. <br />So many pretty papers! For my project I used "aqua doily" paper for my layout. Some other Melissa Frances goodies on this layout....the fun mica flakes inside my shaker card. The beautiful resin snowflakes too! Be sure to visit the Melissa Frances booth at #1991!<br /><br />I will be demoing at the <a href="http://affiliates.copicmarker.com//jrox.php?id=104_1_bid_3">copic </a>booth and this project is for that booth....can you guess which product it show off?<br />This is highlighting X-press it Foam Mounting Tape. I decided to make a big shaker box for my snowy layout and nothing does this better than great foam tape! I also popped up all the letters on foam tape as well. <br /><br />I used a <a href="http://www.mftstamps.com/index.php?route=common/home">My Favorite Things</a> Die-namics <a href="http://lm.inlinkz.com/go.php?i=45138&amp;c=8973">"Wonky Scallop Border"</a> to create my frame. I used the <a href="http://www.mftstamps.com/by-the-letters-die-namics?filter_name=letter">"By the Letters" </a>Die-namics to create the sentiment too.<br /><br />If you are heading to CHA, make sure you stop by the copic booth and say 'hi' ! You can see this layout in person too.....things always look better in real life :)<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1698968979707489176-1309594381305657391?l=sherrie-cardcreme.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Sherriehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17247659960117718993noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1698968979707489176.post-24135275253709088642012-01-25T09:00:00.000-08:002012-01-25T09:00:00.454-08:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-TtW66W1S2Jg/Tx8z2l5UCkI/AAAAAAAAGg8/_qs8rLDuXBw/s1600/MFTWSC56.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-TtW66W1S2Jg/Tx8z2l5UCkI/AAAAAAAAGg8/_qs8rLDuXBw/s1600/MFTWSC56.jpg" /></a></div>&nbsp;Time to get my hands a little dirty with technique. This was fun for Wednesdays' Sketch challenge with My Favorite Things. I decided to do the "Faux Linen" technique and color up this beautiful flower with a copic technique. Here is the picture-by-picture....how-to!<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-pv3ad7BbMg4/Tx8z48-xD4I/AAAAAAAAGhE/tzi5cagNodc/s1600/1fauxlinen.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-pv3ad7BbMg4/Tx8z48-xD4I/AAAAAAAAGhE/tzi5cagNodc/s1600/1fauxlinen.jpg" /></a></div>&nbsp;First cut out the glossy paper with the "Oval Decorative Doily Die-namics". I used the cracked glass image from the "Vintage Cameo" set&nbsp; and stamped with memento ink.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-bECDCBZUnwo/Tx8z5jBVJmI/AAAAAAAAGhM/u5lpNGY8lpw/s1600/2fauxlinen.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-bECDCBZUnwo/Tx8z5jBVJmI/AAAAAAAAGhM/u5lpNGY8lpw/s1600/2fauxlinen.jpg" /></a></div>&nbsp;Take your sanding block and sand in both horizontal and vertical directions.

You can see the score lines in the photo and then I added some patterned paper side panels too. <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-gI16aMIE-TE/Tx3VJ6Alf-I/AAAAAAAAGgs/veNUmaRFM9A/s1600/IMG_6752.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="383" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-gI16aMIE-TE/Tx3VJ6Alf-I/AAAAAAAAGgs/veNUmaRFM9A/s400/IMG_6752.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>Here is a close look at the sweet lil' card that goes with it.

We have had everything from lots of falling snow, to blowing snow, to freezing rain and finally the big thaw. This was captured at the beginning of the week where the snow was light and fluffy.<br />The first shot is Marie blowing the snow and then tasting it!<br /><br />Now our yard is a big soupy mess and not nearly as pretty. I am actually looking forward to the California sun at CHA!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1698968979707489176-9214766291809959788?l=sherrie-cardcreme.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Sherriehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17247659960117718993noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1698968979707489176.post-43025120004947800582012-01-19T12:16:00.000-08:002012-01-19T12:16:55.844-08:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-qsNY2BeTAc0/Txh2-NehuMI/AAAAAAAAGfk/ruWPO_3pQ8U/s1600/holdyouinmyheart.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-qsNY2BeTAc0/Txh2-NehuMI/AAAAAAAAGfk/ruWPO_3pQ8U/s1600/holdyouinmyheart.jpg" /></a></div>Have you had a peek at <a href="http://www.moxiefabworld.com/2012/01/moxie-fab-stamp-of-approval-my-favorite.html">Moxie Fab World </a>today?

This month there are another 2 adorable Pure Innocence sets plus a sentiment set and a new Die-namic too! I am showing off the new "Violin Girl". I have a sweet little niece that plays so this will get tucked away for her.

This is our family mantra for the next few months. Our son Daniel has really taken a love for sports and is in the throws of basketball season, meanwhile, club volleyball has started up too.<br /><br />A dim gymnasium can be one of the hardest places to get good clean photos....so I am discovering. The combination of dim light, high speed action (requiring a fast shutter speed), sitting up in the stands, not being able to use a flash and maintaining to cheer while behind a camera... proves to be a challenge.<br /><br />For the photogs that follow my blog...these were taken with these specs:<br /><br />70mm, F2.8, ISO 800 and shutter 1/200<br /><br />Go Eagles!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1698968979707489176-1447534516243523564?l=sherrie-cardcreme.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Sherriehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17247659960117718993noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1698968979707489176.post-156173856572963752012-01-13T07:48:00.000-08:002012-01-13T07:48:58.390-08:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-J2KjU-LEk7k/TxBMz2lUnXI/AAAAAAAAGeM/2k6sFnHJEh4/s1600/strawberrytea.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-J2KjU-LEk7k/TxBMz2lUnXI/AAAAAAAAGeM/2k6sFnHJEh4/s1600/strawberrytea.jpg" /></a></div>Friday! I have something sweet for you today. How about a little strawberry tea? It is one of my favorites (if I have to have tea). I included a few photos for the "how-to" portion and my supply list is at the bottom of the post.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-YtOGhD0vCNk/TxBNIGR3z8I/AAAAAAAAGeU/O6VrbmTUgpA/s1600/IMG_6716.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="255" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-YtOGhD0vCNk/TxBNIGR3z8I/AAAAAAAAGeU/O6VrbmTUgpA/s400/IMG_6716.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>I made sure I cut the berry box from red paper that had a white core. I then sanded the "seeds" a little to reveal the white paper core. <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-IHe8kxXP6FY/TxBNN-JhJ8I/AAAAAAAAGec/rxScBG2Jlbw/s1600/IMG_6717.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="351" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-IHe8kxXP6FY/TxBNN-JhJ8I/AAAAAAAAGec/rxScBG2Jlbw/s400/IMG_6717.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>Ahhhh, my strawberry tea.

These are clear ornaments from <a href="http://melissafrances.com/">Melissa Frances</a> that you can use anytime of year for decor. These ones I made just before Christmas. They were featured on the <a href="http://melissafrances.typepad.com/my_weblog/2012/01/tinted-glass-globes.html">Melissa Frances Blog</a> yesterday.<br /><br />For the color tinting:<br />I used Modpodge with a few drops of <a href="http://affiliates.copicmarker.com//jrox.php?id=104_1_bid_4">Copic reinker</a> mixed in (BG13 for the aqua and R43 for the peach) and then painted the modpodge on the surface of the ornament with a paintbrush and then let dry.....very easy and it gives a pretty frosted look. I also think it adds to the "vintage" of the glass.<br /><br />Finished off with a few other Melissa Frances goodies on the insides these would make great occasional gifts! <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ib3OHIm-8W0/Tw23_B0G1aI/AAAAAAAAGeE/sp0lWbd0Rmk/s1600/IMG_6164.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ib3OHIm-8W0/Tw23_B0G1aI/AAAAAAAAGeE/sp0lWbd0Rmk/s400/IMG_6164.jpg" width="273" /></a></div><br /><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1698968979707489176-6220960338786502041?l=sherrie-cardcreme.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Sherriehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17247659960117718993noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1698968979707489176.post-86869912826139177892012-01-09T21:00:00.000-08:002012-01-09T21:00:01.004-08:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-d0dIzyLTKo8/Tws-Ndx9w5I/AAAAAAAAGds/FjbzQGleHnM/s1600/januarycreativechallenge.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-d0dIzyLTKo8/Tws-Ndx9w5I/AAAAAAAAGds/FjbzQGleHnM/s1600/januarycreativechallenge.jpg" /></a></div>This one is for the men! In particular....my man. Do you find cards for guys the most difficult to make? You are not alone, this is really tough for me too. Since most of my images are really geared for females I decided to make a very "stampy" card for my guy. This month<a href="http://www.stampedbyhand.blogspot.com/"> Joanne</a> has challenged the MFT team to make something for the guys....you will want to check out all this testosterone inspiration on the <a href="http://www.mftstamps.com/blog">MFT blog</a>!<br /><br />I love this newly released set by MFT <a href="http://www.mftstamps.com/brand-spankin-new/at-the-movies-die-namics-and-stamp-set">"At the Movie's Die and Stamp Set"</a>. This set is great for guys of all ages! I love the filmstrip die so I decided to frame my sentiment with it. The little ticket....well, you could get it to say almost anything you want with the sentiments in the set. I know my hubby would love to get a little romance ticket on his birthday :)<br /><br /><div style="color: #134f5c;"><span style="font-size: large;">SUPPLIES:</span></div><br /><div><table border="0" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0"><tbody><tr><td><div style="display: table-cell;

Some of you who know me have figured out that I have caught a bit of the photography bug. I was blessed this Christmas with a new lens for my camera and have been playing with it quite a bit....<br /><br />I do not normally post papercrafting items on my blog on Sundays so I thought it would be a neat slot to post a "thought" or a "favorite photo" from that week. I will title it "Sunday Snap" for the benefit of those who may not want to see a non-papercrafting post. These snaps will give you a little insight to my heart, my family and those things around me.<br /><br />This month.....I have been inspired to read through the Bible this year with <a href="http://southabbotsford.com/quick-links/bible-reading-plans/">THIS</a> reading plan. I was encouraged today that my daughter decided to make her own cute little bookmark and follow my husband and I in this challenge.....this leads to today's service at Church. We had the pleasure of a guest speaker,<a href="http://www.jameshoustononline.com/"> James M. Houston</a>. He is 90 years young and TOTALLY inspiring to listen to.&nbsp; He spoke on prayer today. I bought one of his books <a href="http://www.amazon.ca/Transforming-Friendship-Guide-Prayer/dp/1573834467">"The Transforming Friendship"</a> and I wanted to share the link with you too. Prayer starts with the heart.....and the quote in the photo above resonated with me today.<br /><br />The actual door is the one in the "hub" of our home. The door that my husband and father-in-law installed. This was an old, used door picked up from a second hand shop as well as the pretty glass knob.

I adore making Valentine's Day cards...because I can use them all year round too, just to say "I love you" to someone. I thought of all my Aussie friends when I was coloring up this card. This is an ADORABLE image from Paper Smooches!<br />I stamped directly on my kraft cardstock and used the copic colors E21,23,25,29,97 and my blender to color. After coloring I came in with a soft yellow prismacolor pencil to blend in some areas of light and an aqua pencil to color in some area of shadow.<br />I used my little scorepal to frame off my sentiment and some of my favorite Die-namics for the trim.<br /><br />I am hoping our weather brightens up a little so I can get outside with my new camera lens....This card made it bright inside :)<br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #cc0000;">SUPPLIES</span></span><br /><div><table border="0" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0"><tbody><tr><td><div style="display: table-cell;

Hopefully you have been inspired all week and now have the chance to shop :)<br /><br />I get to show off the newest precious little lamb <a href="http://www.mftstamps.com/brand-spankin-new/precious-little-lamb-fill-my-heart-with-joy">"Fill my heart with joy"</a>.&nbsp; I took the "heart" theme and ran with it! I used a collection of heart dies from the Die-namics line as well. A good oldie <a href="http://www.mftstamps.com/index.php?route=product/product&amp;filter_name=heart&amp;product_id=948">(Hearts a Plenty)</a> and a good newbie <a href="http://www.mftstamps.com/brand-spankin-new/layered-heart-die-namics">(Layered Heart)</a>. That skinny outlined green heart is by cutting the larger Layered Heart FIRST then cutting the smaller Layered Heart from the middle.<br /><br />The whole inspiration for this little bookmark project actually came from <a href="http://southabbotsford.com/">church</a> this past week. Inspired to read through the Bible in a year I made this bookmark for January. You can find the whole Bible reading plan<a href="http://southabbotsford.com/quick-links/bible-reading-plans/"> here.</a> I desire to be intentional about this....so making a new bookmark every month is a neat papercrafting goal I can set for myself as well. Feel free to join me :)<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-aDmurXa4F5U/TwIuZPM9mbI/AAAAAAAAGc4/BDzezn8u3MI/s1600/backsidebiblebookmark.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-aDmurXa4F5U/TwIuZPM9mbI/AAAAAAAAGc4/BDzezn8u3MI/s1600/backsidebiblebookmark.jpg" /></a></div>Here is the backside of my cute bookmark.

The trees are quite pretty with all the little jewels and Christmas frames acting as ornaments.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-mOOlJINUlMM/TvS5nXmPkEI/AAAAAAAAGZw/XW_7swmKFo0/s1600/blogtreeduo.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-mOOlJINUlMM/TvS5nXmPkEI/AAAAAAAAGZw/XW_7swmKFo0/s1600/blogtreeduo.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-6T0EQcumtJ4/TvS5YlW3sCI/AAAAAAAAGZk/gkaC-q4iVLM/s1600/blogclosemerrychristmas.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="361" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-6T0EQcumtJ4/TvS5YlW3sCI/AAAAAAAAGZk/gkaC-q4iVLM/s400/blogclosemerrychristmas.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>Wishing all my readers....a Very Merry Christmas!

Can I admit that it was nice creating something non-Christmas for a change? Tonight there are 2 Pure Innocence character sets in the <a href="http://www.mftstamps.com/brand-spankin-new/Pure-Innocence-In-the-Air-VIP-Collection">VIP KIT.</a>...plus an awesome extra sentiment set to go with them and a fabulous Die-namic!<br /><br />I used "Plane Amazing" and decided to make a shape card. I cut out a cloud on my cricut to the size of a standard card....once in my patterned Cosmo Cricket paper and twice in white card stock for my base. You see the little scoreline at the edge of the card? That is where all my layers are adhered to open the card.&nbsp; I also used the <a href="http://www.mftstamps.com/index.php?route=product/product&amp;filter_name=cloud&amp;product_id=996">Flat-Bottom Clouds</a>, <a href="http://www.mftstamps.com/first-place-award-ribbons-die-namics?filter_name=first">First Place Award Ribbon</a> and <a href="http://www.mftstamps.com/by-the-numbers-die-namics?filter_name=numbers">By the Numbers</a> Die-namics to complete the card.<br />Below are the copic markers I used to color up this cutie image. <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-AgmkMeZxtjM/TvEejPjOEII/AAAAAAAAGYc/1uYnGvtk5hM/s1600/copicsplaneamazing.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-AgmkMeZxtjM/TvEejPjOEII/AAAAAAAAGYc/1uYnGvtk5hM/s1600/copicsplaneamazing.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.mftstamps.com/brand-spankin-new/Pure-Innocence-In-the-Air-VIP-Collection" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-HKUDUuYL6mw/TvEenP-iRrI/AAAAAAAAGYk/clRMkHhRPSY/s400/MFT_Dec2012VIP_Preview.jpg" width="328" /></a></div>So here is a look at what is all included in the <a href="http://www.mftstamps.com/brand-spankin-new/Pure-Innocence-In-the-Air-VIP-Collection">VIP kit</a>! <br /><br />Make sure you go and check out all the inspiration with this brand new collection from the MFT design team!

Add cornstarch and flour while the mixer is going. Put a teaspoon size ball of dough on a cookie sheet. (I have one of those nifty scoopers that I fill and squeeze the handle to drop out the dough). Squish a toblerone piece of chocolate in the center and bake at 375 degrees for 14 minutes.

If you look at the sketch (at the bottom of my post) it is crying out for a sentiment based card...well....I didn't feel like doing a sentiment based card but I still wanted to play. I laid the sketch on its' side so that I could do an image based card...because I wanted to color :)<br /><br />I love this little "Christmas Caroler" mainly because I get to play with a radial light source. You will notice in my copic coloring that the objects closest to the candle flame are the lightest in value and as the objects are further from the flame they increase in value (get darker). I took a photo of the marker colors for you to see. The Y21 next to the Y23 is a custom blend marker (1 part Y21 and 1 part blender).<br />The full list of supplies is at the bottom of my post. <br /><br />I will point it out...a little oopsie with my R89. I didn't let my background coloring dry before going in with my R89 to do the cast shadow on the shoulder of her dress. As soon as that R89 touched the wet background it wanted to spread! Lesson learned....again....be patient when working with reds...they are volatile! <br /><br />Another sweet Christmas card to add to my stash :)<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-9WcfCnnMGeU/TuecuvojtMI/AAAAAAAAGXU/0ZAd1VGdCxY/s1600/colorsmftwsc50.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-9WcfCnnMGeU/TuecuvojtMI/AAAAAAAAGXU/0ZAd1VGdCxY/s1600/colorsmftwsc50.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Drp7cV5eNYY/Tuecv1PKhII/AAAAAAAAGXc/_Q6JcU2MSIY/s1600/MFTWSCSketch50.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Drp7cV5eNYY/Tuecv1PKhII/AAAAAAAAGXc/_Q6JcU2MSIY/s320/MFTWSCSketch50.jpg" width="247" /></a></div><br />Here is the sketch so that you can play along.

Mine have been wishing for it this week. I think it helps in the Christmas mood creation too.&nbsp; This looks like the last BUSY week before Christmas so I have something quick to share with you today and then I am back to "checking my lists" and doing some more prep for Christmas!<br />No snow on the ground here yet, but I created some in my studio today! This is a newly released Pure Innocence snowman from My Favorite Things. All the links are at the bottom of my post.<br /><br />This picture to the left show you one of the sentiments that are in this stamp set and I made a little North Pole sentiment with the mini pennants Die-namic die. I layers it up a little to make it more dimensional.<br /><br />I cut the main circles for the shaker card with some circle and scallop nestabilities that I own. The plastic front is some recycled scraps from packaging that I found in my garbage can.<br /><br />I love this new wonky scallop border too! I cut it out of felt and then added some silver glass flakes.<br /><br />Enjoy your monday!<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-W1o5-_9eE-Y/TuaHvqW04yI/AAAAAAAAGW8/tB6Kl1CRkqs/s1600/shakensnowmuch.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

This is "Fred Bear Takes a Hike" from My Favorite Things.<br /><br />I created this little scene using my copic airbrush system. I stamped Fred Bear first then masked him off. I tore the bottom of a post-it note to create a rough ground and then sprayed the ground. Remove the post it note and spray some sky spritzes.<br /><br />For Fred, I colored him random spotty style with the E11,13,25 and E57.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />&nbsp;Here is the full list of copic colors that I used:<br /><style><!-- /* Style Definitions */p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal {mso-style-unhide:no;

I have literally cooked something up for you to see. This soup is a turkey one using the leftover frame from turkey dinner. My kids love this vegetable/noodle soup.<br /><br />Do you know anyone a little under the weather right now? Seems like the sniffles are spreading like wild fire here...myself included. This new "Fred Bear Gives Comfort" image is perfect for dressing up a canning jar full of homemade soup. I colored him up with my copics and then used some of my favorite Die-namics to finish the little project.<br /><br />Make sure you get around the whole tour. Each product has a spectacular sample for you to see! The whole list is on the <a href="http://www.mftstamps.com/blog">MFT blog</a>. Now I am off to medicate myself with a little bowl of my soup :)<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: red;">SUPPLIES</span></span><br /><br /><div><table border="0" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0"><tbody><tr><td><div style="display: table-cell; float: left; height: 164px; text-align: center;"><div style="display: table-cell; height: 79px; vertical-align: middle; width: 82px;"><a href="http://lm.inlinkz.com/go.php?i=45133&amp;c=7241" target="_blank" title="Fred Bear Gives Comfort MFT"> <img src="http://lm.inlinkz.com/thumbs/20111206/12244/75/1323201589.02" /> </a> </div><div style="line-height: 1.1; overflow: hidden; text-align: center; vertical-align: bottom; width: 82px;"><a href="http://lm.inlinkz.com/go.php?i=45133&amp;c=7241" target="_blank" title="Fred Bear Gives Comfort MFT"> Fred Bear Gives Comfort MFT<br /> </a> </div></div></td><td><div style="display: table-cell; float: left; height: 164px; text-align: center;"><div style="display: table-cell; height: 79px; vertical-align: middle; width: 82px;"><a href="http://lm.inlinkz.com/go.php?i=39954&amp;c=7241" target="_blank" title="You're It Die-namic"> <img src="http://lm.inlinkz.com/thumbs/20111122/12244/75/1321995100.17" /> </a> </div><div style="line-height: 1.1; overflow: hidden; text-align: center; vertical-align: bottom; width: 82px;"><a href="http://lm.inlinkz.com/go.php?i=39954&amp;c=7241" target="_blank" title="You're It Die-namic"> You're It Die-namic<br /> </a> </div></div></td><td><div style="display: table-cell; float: left; height: 164px; text-align: center;"><div style="display: table-cell; height: 79px; vertical-align: middle; width: 82px;"><a href="http://lm.inlinkz.com/go.php?i=45136&amp;c=7241" target="_blank" title="Solid Bracket Border Die-namic"> <img src="http://lm.inlinkz.com/thumbs/20111206/12244/75/1323201742.37" /> </a> </div><div style="line-height: 1.1; overflow: hidden; text-align: center; vertical-align: bottom; width: 82px;"><a href="http://lm.inlinkz.com/go.php?i=45136&amp;c=7241" target="_blank" title="Solid Bracket Border Die-namic"> Solid Bracket Border Die-namic<br /> </a> </div></div></td><td><div style="display: table-cell; float: left; height: 164px; text-align: center;"><div style="display: table-cell; height: 79px; vertical-align: middle; width: 82px;"><a href="http://lm.inlinkz.com/go.php?i=45138&amp;c=7241" target="_blank" title="Wonky Scallop Border Die-namic"> <img src="http://lm.inlinkz.com/thumbs/20111206/12244/75/1323201825.8" /> </a> </div><div style="line-height: 1.1; overflow: hidden; text-align: center; vertical-align: bottom; width: 82px;"><a href="http://lm.inlinkz.com/go.php?i=45138&amp;c=7241" target="_blank" title="Wonky Scallop Border Die-namic"> Wonky Scallop Border Die-namic<br /> </a> </div></div></td></tr></tbody></table></div><div><a href="http://www.inlinkz.com/" style="color: #bbbbbb; font: normal normal normal 10px/normal arial; text-decoration: none;">InLinkz.com</a></div><img height="0" src="http://lm.inlinkz.com/cimp.php?c=7241" style="border: none !important; margin: 0 !important; padding: 0 !important;" width="0" /><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1698968979707489176-3066807617732422157?l=sherrie-cardcreme.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Sherriehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17247659960117718993noreply@blogger.com16tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1698968979707489176.post-89247377332422640492011-12-04T21:00:00.000-08:002011-12-04T21:00:06.658-08:00<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-F-rRTStpjAQ/TtqjgmdnwdI/AAAAAAAAGWE/HV7PyNMQvHY/s1600/closelittlelambmanger.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-F-rRTStpjAQ/TtqjgmdnwdI/AAAAAAAAGWE/HV7PyNMQvHY/s400/closelittlelambmanger.jpg" width="268" /></a></div>I am LOVING the little lamb series in the Pure Innocence collection from MFT. This one goes straight to my heart as Jesus is often described as the "Lamb of God", so how fitting it is that a little lamb is in a manger.<br /><br />First off I wanted to show you this close shot of the lambs' clothing. I fabric pieced it from some white sticky back canvas and colored it with my <a href="http://copicmarker.com/">copic markers</a>. Peeled the canvas off its' sticky backing and adhered it to my stamped image. I love this touch and feel texture it adds to my card.<br /><br />You can also see in this close up shot the "spotty" copic coloring I did for the lambs. I used E40,42.43 and R20. <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-CNKhQQPfBaY/TtqjaGuovYI/AAAAAAAAGV0/k5wkoKjUY5s/s1600/littlelambmanger.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-CNKhQQPfBaY/TtqjaGuovYI/AAAAAAAAGV0/k5wkoKjUY5s/s1600/littlelambmanger.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5gYi-ku-8ec/TtqjfXP2ueI/AAAAAAAAGV8/iRB-CSiJuIQ/s1600/insidelittlelambmanger.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5gYi-ku-8ec/TtqjfXP2ueI/AAAAAAAAGV8/iRB-CSiJuIQ/s400/insidelittlelambmanger.jpg" width="362" /></a></div><br />I didn't want to go with colorful patterned paper as I wanted to keep it muted like the image...so I pulled out some music paper from the <a href="http://lm.inlinkz.com/go.php?i=32828&amp;c=5599">Melissa Frances "Deck the Halls" collection</a>.<br /><br />A little peek at the inside too. I stamped just the manger and the DARLING sentiment that comes with this set. Just added a little bit of color with my pencils. <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-BrgvBpbUveE/TtUUiowARYI/AAAAAAAAGVM/JVuMcTI0dFg/s1600/TeaserTime_FullSize.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="209" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-BrgvBpbUveE/TtUUiowARYI/AAAAAAAAGVM/JVuMcTI0dFg/s320/TeaserTime_FullSize.jpg" width="320" /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">&nbsp;</span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Here are the details about the upcoming release on December 6 at 10 PM EST:</span></div><ul><li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">You can attend the New Release Party on December 6th from 8-10 PM EST <a href="http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/forums/my-favorite-things-f164/">HERE</a> in the MFT forum, where you can enjoy fun, games, and PRIZES!</span></li><li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The MFT release, including all new stamp sets and Die-namics, is on December 6 at 10 PM EST. &nbsp;You'll find all the newest products <a href="http://www.mftstamps.com/index.php?route=common/home">HERE</a> at release time.</span></li><li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The guest designer contest is ON! &nbsp;Check out the <a href="http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/forums/my-favorite-things-f164/">forum</a> for details on how YOU can win $200 in stamp sets and Die-namics, and play along with the MFT Design Team for a month.</span></li><li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">If you'd like to see all the teasers for today, please click on over to the <a href="https://www.mftstamps.com/blog/">MFT Blog</a> NOW. &nbsp;Be sure to leave comments as you go for the chance to win one of 2, $10 gift certificates given away daily. &nbsp;The winners will be posted on December 6 just before the release party, on the <a href="https://www.mftstamps.com/blog/">MFT blog</a>.</span></li></ul><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1698968979707489176-8924737733242264049?l=sherrie-cardcreme.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Sherriehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17247659960117718993noreply@blogger.com37tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1698968979707489176.post-58871767417354963532011-12-03T21:00:00.000-08:002011-12-03T21:00:07.792-08:00<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-x4-5TN2VApI/TtqiEEpkNMI/AAAAAAAAGVs/9xNOhznKrcY/s1600/snuggletime.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-x4-5TN2VApI/TtqiEEpkNMI/AAAAAAAAGVs/9xNOhznKrcY/s1600/snuggletime.jpg" /></a></div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-BrgvBpbUveE/TtUUiowARYI/AAAAAAAAGVM/JVuMcTI0dFg/s1600/TeaserTime_FullSize.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="209" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-BrgvBpbUveE/TtUUiowARYI/AAAAAAAAGVM/JVuMcTI0dFg/s320/TeaserTime_FullSize.jpg" width="320" /></a><br />It is "hot cocoa" time of year! Another peek at this weeks' coming release from MFT. I LOVE her oversized mug...so I decided to mimic that in my card. I cut the new oval open scallop doily from cardstock then laid in one of my plain oval dies so that I was left with just the frame. This made a perfect little handle for my mug card.<br /><br />There is a set of 4 new tab die-namics being released as well. Perfect for sentiments! I cut this tab twice and that gave it a little matted look.<br />Colored up with my <a href="http://copicmarker.com/">copics</a> and a little white liquid applique for the marshmallows.<br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Here are the details about the upcoming release on December 6 at 10 PM EST:</span><br /><ul><li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">You can attend the New Release Party on December 6th from 8-10 PM EST <a href="http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/forums/my-favorite-things-f164/">HERE</a> in the MFT forum, where you can enjoy fun, games, and PRIZES!</span></li><li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The MFT release, including all new stamp sets and Die-namics, is on December 6 at 10 PM EST. &nbsp;You'll find all the newest products <a href="http://www.mftstamps.com/index.php?route=common/home">HERE</a> at release time.</span></li><li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The guest designer contest is ON! &nbsp;Check out the <a href="http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/forums/my-favorite-things-f164/">forum</a> for details on how YOU can win $200 in stamp sets and Die-namics, and play along with the MFT Design Team for a month.</span></li><li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">If you'd like to see all the teasers for today, please click on over to the <a href="https://www.mftstamps.com/blog/">MFT Blog</a> NOW. &nbsp;Be sure to leave comments as you go for the chance to win one of 2, $10 gift certificates given away daily. &nbsp;The winners will be posted on December 6 just before the release party, on the <a href="https://www.mftstamps.com/blog/">MFT blog</a>.</span></li></ul><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1698968979707489176-5887176741735496353?l=sherrie-cardcreme.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Sherriehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17247659960117718993noreply@blogger.com27tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1698968979707489176.post-29522385779497565572011-12-02T21:00:00.000-08:002011-12-02T21:00:05.871-08:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-4nNU9la9Z6s/TtZxLobl5FI/AAAAAAAAGVc/yahNFcAwYo0/s1600/hospitalitea.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-4nNU9la9Z6s/TtZxLobl5FI/AAAAAAAAGVc/yahNFcAwYo0/s1600/hospitalitea.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4NZJ1mlwEd8/TtZxMZgZ38I/AAAAAAAAGVk/pS7EpQaiL2o/s1600/insidehospitalitea.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="343" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4NZJ1mlwEd8/TtZxMZgZ38I/AAAAAAAAGVk/pS7EpQaiL2o/s400/insidehospitalitea.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><br />Time for another great teaser! This is the new "Always time for tea" stamp and Die-namic set. I love the option of either making a pretty patterned paper teapot (using the Die-namics) like I did on the card front.... or using the stamp set to create my own teapot like the inside of the card. Fabulous sentiments in the stamp set too!

First up is this beautiful "Who's that Girl/Guy" set called "May I have this dance?"<br /><br />So pretty and timeless. I paired it up with some Lily Bee papers and felt trim. Notice a new Die-namic? That is the skyline border. On the card front I cut one in vellum and one in black. I liked it so much that I added it to the inside of my card too.<br /><br />I put together a series of photos to show you how I colored the image with my copics too.....enjoy!<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-76s54l_9MSc/TtUUYSJbu9I/AAAAAAAAGUk/DZ--8ngT2Ls/s1600/1dancing.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-76s54l_9MSc/TtUUYSJbu9I/AAAAAAAAGUk/DZ--8ngT2Ls/s1600/1dancing.jpg" /></a></div>I started with the skin and I tried adding my BV31 shadow undertones first. I am liking the results when I apply this first.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-vm70_H_HNi8/TtUUaFF8Z4I/AAAAAAAAGUs/s8HVosnAixM/s1600/2dancing.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-vm70_H_HNi8/TtUUaFF8Z4I/AAAAAAAAGUs/s8HVosnAixM/s1600/2dancing.jpg" /></a></div>Here are the skin colors that I used.

Blacks can be tricky as I wanted his tux to be black and not appear gray. I wanted his tux to have that fabric finish look to it but his lapel was more of a satin finish so it would be shiny and catch a few light reflections. <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-xz-Z9TIvF8Y/TtUUcSApiqI/AAAAAAAAGU8/O6cRcxbrqcg/s1600/4dancing.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-xz-Z9TIvF8Y/TtUUcSApiqI/AAAAAAAAGU8/O6cRcxbrqcg/s1600/4dancing.jpg" /></a></div>I paper pieced her beautiful dress....I want one! I also added some shading and shadows with my toner grays on her dress. Everything else has shape so her dress needs it too!<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-VrgOG98v3iw/TtUUdvrYZBI/AAAAAAAAGVE/yA5_jhS-2eE/s1600/5dancing.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-VrgOG98v3iw/TtUUdvrYZBI/AAAAAAAAGVE/yA5_jhS-2eE/s1600/5dancing.jpg" /></a></div>Lastly, I colored in the background.

I am...and I am TOTALLY excited with what I have to share with you today!<br /><br />These are sweater cozies for some old vases that I have. The smallest one is actually a frappacino jar.<br />I recycled some sweaters by using the arms of the sweater to cover my vases like a sleeve.<br /><br />I have included some photos of my process, you know I had to pair up this project with "Knit Happens" from My Favorite Things as well as 3 beautiful flower dies. Let me show you how!....<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-PpiEAObl7hk/Ts6vx63MhlI/AAAAAAAAGR8/dyuyCWijvq8/s1600/1vase.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="270" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-PpiEAObl7hk/Ts6vx63MhlI/AAAAAAAAGR8/dyuyCWijvq8/s320/1vase.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>&nbsp;Ok, these are the sweaters. The two on the outside are too small for my daughter and the one in the middle I have had for a decade and it needed to be retired. I figured that out when my daughter chose to wear it for "tacky sweater day" at school....groan.<br />I used the sleeve portion of the sweaters, slipped them over the vases having the finished cuff edge at the top. I then used my pinking sheers near the bottom (left about 2 inches) and then glued it in place to the bottom of the vase.....EASY PEASY! <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4ttMuF3RW6Y/Ts6v_UmnbuI/AAAAAAAAGSE/gzSc0agbn_g/s1600/2vase.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="148" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4ttMuF3RW6Y/Ts6v_UmnbuI/AAAAAAAAGSE/gzSc0agbn_g/s400/2vase.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>&nbsp;The flowers were really fun to make. I wanted them to be in the sweater material to match. First up is the new Loopy Bloom Die-namic Die.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-i-voWx9gqKw/Ts6wKiZaliI/AAAAAAAAGSM/K12UezxCmmE/s1600/3vase.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="152" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-i-voWx9gqKw/Ts6wKiZaliI/AAAAAAAAGSM/K12UezxCmmE/s400/3vase.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>&nbsp;This sweater cut no problem because it is thin.

Things are switched up this month for fun and it is a couple of the winter Pure Innocence cuties that are in the kit this month....BONUS!<br /><br />I had fun doing a vintage spin on this Holly Girl. Look at this precious oval die-namic that is also in the kit...perfect for all your little pure innocence characters. I combined her with Melissa Frances patterned papers and accessories.<br /><br />You know I colored her up with my copics I envisioned her standing in a dimly lit room up against a wall. Her shadow on the wall mimics her shape. I tried something new with her in coloring....a tip I picked up from a <a href="http://www.copiccolor.com/MarkerGuru">sweet girl (MarkerGuru)</a> in one of my intermediate classes that I thought I would try out.<br /><br />Take a look at the photo below. I laid in some base shadows using BV20 to give the cool undertone to the shadows. I quite liked the results and it gave me the opportunity to think out all my shadows before coloring.<br />When you look at my finished product it is not like you see "purple in her skin" but rather a natural cooling of color as I go into shadow. <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-b60xHcnieW4/TrlvAqKmj4I/AAAAAAAAGP8/OZ8UTanldDU/s1600/shadowsvip.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-b60xHcnieW4/TrlvAqKmj4I/AAAAAAAAGP8/OZ8UTanldDU/s320/shadowsvip.jpg" width="254" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-golWFNtbhQc/TrlvIgWvuwI/AAAAAAAAGQE/46YzjGQeekU/s1600/F100337408.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-golWFNtbhQc/TrlvIgWvuwI/AAAAAAAAGQE/46YzjGQeekU/s320/F100337408.jpg" width="272" /></a></div>So here is a look at what is in this month's <a href="http://www.mftstamps.com/brand-spankin-new/Pure-Innocence-Winter-Cuties-VIP-Collection">VIP kit</a>....can you say CUTENESS!<br /><div></div><div><b>Pure Innocence Winter Cuties VIP Collection $37.95</b></div><div>Pure Innocence Ice Princess stamp set</div><div>Pure Innocence Holly Girl stamp set</div><div>Winter Cuties Sentiments mini&nbsp;(VIP exclusive stamp set&nbsp;- will never be offered for sale or be available again $9 value, FREE)</div><div>Oval Open Scallop Doily Die-namics Die</div><br /><br /><br /><br />Make sure to see the complete list of designer samples over on the <a href="https://www.mftstamps.com/blog/">MFT blog</a>!

I have done a tutorial on coloring white resin pieces. On my blog you get to see the finished product photos, but if you want to see the step-by-step production check out the Melissa Frances blog <a href="http://melissafrances.typepad.com/">HERE</a>.<br />This tree gets so much dimension with a little bit of color! This is a special little altered tin that I made to hold a special tree ornament<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-b1dntM97W5w/TrWnEMMoRsI/AAAAAAAAGNg/T8fj40FUEm8/s1600/closeinsidecoloredresin.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-b1dntM97W5w/TrWnEMMoRsI/AAAAAAAAGNg/T8fj40FUEm8/s1600/closeinsidecoloredresin.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-s7Se5nuUtdM/TrWm5jQ7GtI/AAAAAAAAGNY/QfoFUhXYCpI/s1600/insidecoloredresin.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-s7Se5nuUtdM/TrWm5jQ7GtI/AAAAAAAAGNY/QfoFUhXYCpI/s400/insidecoloredresin.jpg" width="360" /></a></div></div>Here is a shot of the ornament inside. I have photos of Maries' younger years on my tree but this year I thought I should add an older version of her. I colored the resin on this a little differently than the tree (you can see that in the tutorial too).<br /><br />Enjoy your day!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1698968979707489176-1217992804641693015?l=sherrie-cardcreme.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Sherriehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17247659960117718993noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1698968979707489176.post-47708904871911958652011-11-10T21:00:00.000-08:002011-11-10T21:00:00.177-08:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_RbP-MVP9AI/TrqyrHEEGjI/AAAAAAAAGQM/p4hlO3iLU-U/s1600/MerryChristmasduoblog.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_RbP-MVP9AI/TrqyrHEEGjI/AAAAAAAAGQM/p4hlO3iLU-U/s1600/MerryChristmasduoblog.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-zvz3uu4G-BI/TrqztLvFPLI/AAAAAAAAGQc/mw2mTsCmUYw/s1600/Christmastinblog.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-zvz3uu4G-BI/TrqztLvFPLI/AAAAAAAAGQc/mw2mTsCmUYw/s400/Christmastinblog.jpg" width="187" /></a></div>&nbsp;A fun little altered project to share with you today. I recycled an old hot chocolate powder tin to make a cute little Christmas tin that I can use for gift giving. I could use it as a teacher gift then they could use it as a pen container or regift it :)<br /><br />Using all Melissa Frances products I have links at the bottom of the post to the specific papers.<br /><br />I also used my airbrush system to alter some of the resin and flower pieces. The green star and the sprig were originally white. Just a few sprays and voila! They were custom colored for my project! <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-31h2EFkuVCI/TrqzuSY5oTI/AAAAAAAAGQk/3ab4-W9LhHA/s1600/postcardblog.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-31h2EFkuVCI/TrqzuSY5oTI/AAAAAAAAGQk/3ab4-W9LhHA/s1600/postcardblog.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-lrE9UjO58pE/TrqzwVhq8tI/AAAAAAAAGQs/sU-Vs6jmmgI/s1600/closechristmastinblog.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-lrE9UjO58pE/TrqzwVhq8tI/AAAAAAAAGQs/sU-Vs6jmmgI/s400/closechristmastinblog.jpg" width="286" /></a></div>&nbsp;Here are some close ups of each item. Love that the image on the card matches the large die cut image I used for the tin lid.<br /><br />Just for fun/cute factor I did a fringe of ribbon around the perimeter of the lid. I also ran a bead of glue around the base of the container and sprinkled it with glass glitter. <br /><br />Soooo....no stamping today (a rarity), but it sure was a fun way to make a cute container out of something I was going to throw away!<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Our Design Team Creative Challenge is a new monthly feature, where we challenge our design team to explore their creative side using a specific theme, product or technique. This month, we're exploring the lush vintage style. Please visit the <a href="http://www.mftstamps.com/blog">MFT Blog </a>to see exactly what we've been up to, you'll find a full list of designers that have taken up the challenge!</i><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-XFM5bm9_YbA/TrgQor61AQI/AAAAAAAAGOs/Wam6JQwktqE/s1600/vintagecreativechallenge.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-XFM5bm9_YbA/TrgQor61AQI/AAAAAAAAGOs/Wam6JQwktqE/s1600/vintagecreativechallenge.jpg" /></a></div>&nbsp;Welcome to my take on the Vintage MFT challenge.....truthfully I LOVED this challenge as I tend to go to the vintage style quite often. I did a few fun techniques in today's card so I thought I would include some step-by-step photos for your interest.<br />I am using one of MFT's newest releases "Inspired by Christmas". <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-9Z_9GpPhwdI/TrgQuLQ2DgI/AAAAAAAAGO0/3V-cJtfC87k/s1600/vintage1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="256" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-9Z_9GpPhwdI/TrgQuLQ2DgI/AAAAAAAAGO0/3V-cJtfC87k/s320/vintage1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>I cut out the "Jingle Bells" music from the 12x12 patterned paper sheet of Melissa Frances. I then stamped my bells image from my stamp set in Memento Ink.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-GDBYnk8BkuA/TrgQuhZ-jTI/AAAAAAAAGO8/7TU5IA5arXg/s1600/vintage2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="208" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-GDBYnk8BkuA/TrgQuhZ-jTI/AAAAAAAAGO8/7TU5IA5arXg/s320/vintage2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>I stamped my sleigh in versamark ink and clear embossed it.

In a ziploc bag add a few drops of copic color reinker, blender solution and add the seam binding. Squish the bag so all the binding gets dyed and then pull out of the bag and scrunch in a paper towel to dry. <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/--apPzU8z_G4/TrgQyjwIRHI/AAAAAAAAGPk/G2wASS33MSA/s1600/vintage7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/--apPzU8z_G4/TrgQyjwIRHI/AAAAAAAAGPk/G2wASS33MSA/s320/vintage7.jpg" width="284" /></a></div>Last step was adding a little touch of gold to my bells. I used the copic spica pen in gold.

I know that Americans still have Thanksgiving to look forward to but in our house once Halloween is finished.....let the Christmas tunes begin!<br /><br />Listening to a little Bing Crosby today while I played in anticipation of the new Michael Buble album that we will buy this year. I really enjoyed coloring up this Holiday Hugs Snowman from My Favorite Things....and guess what.....it released Tuesday! Yay!<br /><br />A couple of coloring things I wanted to point out. Did you know that it is so much quicker and easier to get a large, smooth colored background with copics if you soak your paper with your blender pen first. It "primes" the paper for your color.<br /><br />I love the blue/green colors combined with the yellow/greens for winter. My sentiment was musical so I rolled up some old sheet music for the backdrop of this card. That beautiful yellow/green background paper is from Melissa Frances.<br /><br />Here is the list of copic marker colors that I used:<br />T0,2,5,8,10&nbsp; YG61,63,95,97&nbsp; E000,50,53,31&nbsp; YR20,15,18&nbsp;&nbsp; BG09 and the blender pen for the spots in the background.<br /><br /><span style="color: #134f5c; font-size: large;">SUPPLIES</span><br /><br /><div><table border="0" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0"><tbody><tr><td><div style="display: table-cell;

I get to show off an "oh so fabulous" vintage set called "Vintage Cameo". This set looks great paired up with some shabby chic Melissa Frances products.<br /><br />My cameo was coated with 2 layers of UTEE and then put in the freezer for 10 minutes. Out of the freezer I bent the little oval piece to crack the UTEE layer. This is called the cracked glass technique.<br /><br />I used the new vintage cameo die-namic to cut the large frame and stamped that frame with gray versacraft ink.<br /><br />The seam binding ribbon was died with my RV10 copic marker refill in a ziploc bag.<br /><br />The broach was a goodie that was in an old button jar from my grandmother. I loved the turquoise hues in the jewels to match my patterned paper.<br /><br />A peek of the inside shows you another frame and sentiment that are in this set.<br /><br />Make sure you visit the <a href="https://www.mftstamps.com/blog/">MFT blog</a> to see the full list of designer links to the tour products!<br /><br /><span style="color: #ea9999;

I am loving the newest "Precious Little Lamb Upon a Star"! I colored it up with my <a href="http://copicmarker.com/">copics</a> using a "spotty" style of coloring with my E40 series of markers.<br />I paired up the little lamb with Melissa Frances Christmas paper in the background (you can see the pretty subtle snowflake pattern if you look close).<br /><br />I also used that nifty new "Clearly Sentimental" Die-namics label. I cut up some cord pants of my daughters with this Die-namic. I thought I should mention that I still only use a cuttlebug as my die cut machine and these dies cut through fabric without a problem :) I stamped on the fabric with versacraft ink in black.<br />The little embellishments are a combination of Basic Grey brads and a wooden Studio Calico button.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Here are the details about the upcoming release on November 1 at 10 PM EST:</span><br /><ul><li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">You can attend the New Release Party on November 1st from 8-10 PM EST <a href="http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/forums/my-favorite-things-f164/">HERE</a> in the MFT forum, where you can enjoy fun, games, and PRIZES!</span></li><li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The MFT release, including all new stamp sets and Die-namics, is on November 1 at 10 PM EST. &nbsp;You'll find all the newest products <a href="http://www.mftstamps.com/index.php?route=common/home">HERE</a> at release time.</span></li><li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The guest designer contest is ON! &nbsp;Check out the <a href="http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/forums/my-favorite-things-f164/">forum</a> for details on how YOU can win $200 in stamp sets and Die-namics, and play along with the MFT Design Team for a month.</span></li><li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">If you'd like to see all the teasers for today, please click on over to the <a href="https://www.mftstamps.com/blog/">MFT Blog</a> NOW. &nbsp;Be sure to leave comments as you go for the chance to win one of 2, $10 gift certificates given away daily. &nbsp;The winners will be posted on November 1 just before the release party, on the <a href="https://www.mftstamps.com/blog/">MFT blog</a>.</span></li></ul><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1698968979707489176-6182104651604465011?l=sherrie-cardcreme.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Sherriehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17247659960117718993noreply@blogger.com36tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1698968979707489176.post-24579637520832954092011-10-28T21:00:00.000-07:002011-10-28T21:00:03.384-07:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-1CwNcm-iK-U/TqrS1bMVFwI/AAAAAAAAGMY/HTmqKF4Qxl0/s1600/IMG_5227.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-1CwNcm-iK-U/TqrS1bMVFwI/AAAAAAAAGMY/HTmqKF4Qxl0/s400/IMG_5227.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>I am just getting home today from a wonderful few days with some of my favorite people!

All the details for this months' release you will be able to find at the bottom of this post.<br />This new image called "Fred Bear Catches some ZZZZZ's" inspired me to create a little pillow envelope for my card. A simple little fabric envelope was quick and easy to create and I added one of our new die-namics to the front of this envelope in the form of a pretty felt strip:)<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-LLK0HAg3JEs/TqeB2p-cawI/AAAAAAAAGLY/Y0eH3qetVfw/s1600/hibernating.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-LLK0HAg3JEs/TqeB2p-cawI/AAAAAAAAGLY/Y0eH3qetVfw/s1600/hibernating.jpg" /></a></div>When you pull on the little tab (also a new release Die-namic) you can see my Fred Bear was "hibernating". The cute sentiments were embossed with vanilla embossing powder.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-WLHgvBTFykU/TqeB30yIzbI/AAAAAAAAGLg/--jP_dE8NKs/s1600/closehibernating.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="305" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-WLHgvBTFykU/TqeB30yIzbI/AAAAAAAAGLg/--jP_dE8NKs/s320/closehibernating.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>Here is a close up of Fred that I colored up with my copic markers and used an old towel to create the texture on the bear (before coloring the mouse).

Whew, this week seems like a blur as I am getting ready for the Intermediate Certification in Langley tomorrow and then off to Oregon next week!<br />Getting everything done, photographs taken and edited but only have one little card to show you (out of the 7 I photographed)..... But it is a CUTIE!<br />We are in full pumpkin season here and the fall colors are so pretty! My daughter was going through her "fall" wardrobe and found these cord pants that didn't fit her anymore (plus they were worn out in the knees). I chopped them up and used them on todays' card. I wish you could stroke this card with me. I even fabric pieced her own cord pants!<br /><br />The colors in the bucket are what I used for copic coloring my image. The original markers I used for airbrushing the sentiment tag and a bit of the background.<br /><br />Enjoy your weekend! I will be having lots of coloring fun! Will see you all next week with the start of MFT teasers!<br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #b45f06;">SUPPLIES</span></span><br /><div><table border="0" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0"><tbody><tr><td><div style="display: table-cell;

I looked at this sketch and shuttered a bit at first glance. Look at all those crooked panels! I wasn't too sure how things would turn out so I went with the "style" of the sketch. I saw it as very vintage :) Vintage is one style in which you can throw together a collage of elements and it doesn't usually come off as "too busy".<br />Recognize the file folder? Yup, I had used the other piece to make my list holder on Monday.&nbsp; I paired up my Melissa Frances papers with the "Just my Type" stamp and die-namic set from My Favorite Things.....ah....a little vintage loveliness:)<br /><br />Please go and check out what the other girls came up with...especially with such a unique sketch! You will find the list on the<a href="http://www.mftstamps.com/blog"> MFT BLOG</a>.<br />Enjoy your day!<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #0b5394;">SUPPLIES</span></span><br /><div><table border="0" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0"><tbody><tr><td><div style="display: table-cell;

My kids know this about me and are very good at WRITING DOWN important info. Today I felt crafty just for the fun of it so I decided to make a little pretty list holder. I had cut up a basic file folder for another project (which I can't show you yet) so I had this section left....which led to the base of my holder.<br />I attached a little clip for a pen (that will HOPEFULLY stay with the list).<br /><br />Happy List Making Monday!<br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #6aa84f;">SUPPLIES</span></span><!-- inlinkz code start --><div><table border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=2><tr><td> <div style="display:table-cell;text-align: center;float:left;

This is "Little Witch" from the Pure Innocence collection at MFT! You will notice a new feature on my blog. Instead of posting all the links in my text I will be providing a supply list at the bottom of my post. I thought it was cute with all the little thumbnails attached :)<br />I wanted to color this cutie on kraft paper so I colored her with my copics and then added a few white highlights after I was done. Notice the fun pattern in her dress (done with the blender pen) to match the background paper.<br />I also made her fun little broom with some string and then swiped it with my copics to match.<br />Another little detail....swiping around the edges of my kraft paper with my black copic marker...and her little paper pieced tights :)<br /><br />Enjoy your day!<br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #b45f06;">SUPPLIES</span></span><br /><br /><div><table border="0" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0"><tbody><tr><td><div style="display: table-cell;
