Snowflake Grove

Just in time for the holidays, Stacey Yacula presents Snowflake Grove, a new

collection of adorable images you've come to know and love.

I created a couple of tags with a cute little guy named Snow and the new
Holiday Marquee Sentiments. The sentiments were white embossed on
watercolor card stock and colored over with Zig markers and a waterbrush.

Snow was stamped with permanent ink and the images were die cut with a tag die.

Ribbon was threaded through the tag and a few clear sequins finished them off.

Snowflake Grove goes on sale today exclusively at Purple Onion Designs,
and for a limited time, the ENTIRE collection of 30 unmounted images 
is on sale for $100.00. You can find all new stamps here.

and guest designers. There's so much to see and love!

Here's CAS(E) this Sketch 146, brought to you by Chrissy.

And here's my take on it.

I inked up MFT's brush strokes and spatters in pigment ink. The bold sentiment
is from the exclusive STAMPtember set. I die cut the panel with the rectangle
element from Blueprints 24 and adhered it to a gray card base.

Hope to see you in the gallery!

Harvest of Blessings

Just popping in to share a card that I made with MFT's Layered Leaves.

They were out of stock for a while and when I finally got my hands on them, 

it was just in time for an autumnal card.

I brushed several colors of Peerless watercolors on watercolor card stock
and after it was dried, I die cut several sizes of leaves and spattered them
with white ink. Kraft card stock was stamped with the wood plank stamp in
Versamark ink then cut with the rectangle element from Blueprints 25.

The panel was adhered to a kraft card base and I adhered the leaves with glue dots. 

For a bit of interest, I popped out some leaf segments and left some intact.

The sentiment is from Harvest Mouse and a few enamel dots finished off the card.

I started off thinking about making a wreath after seeing the awesome

Virginia Lu's wreath here, but went with a...you guessed it...deconstructed one!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

CAS(E) this Sketch 145

CAS(E) this Sketch 145 is brought to you by our teammie Leigh.

Here's my take on it.

Gotta love a maitai lovin' penguin! Peerless watercolors were

painted on watercolor card stock and cut with the rectangle element

from Blueprints 24 after it was dried.

I stamped the sentiment repeatedly over the watercoloring and

colored the penguin with Copics. He was die cut with the matching dies

and adhered to the panel. The panel was then adhered to a Grout Gray card base.

Hope to see you in the gallery!

(Note: The brand of watercolor paper that I used is Master's Touch. Thank you, Kay!)

MFT Handcrafted Holiday Celebration

Do you follow My Favorite Things on Facebook and Instagram? I hope you do!
All this week we're celebrating the joys of a handcrafted holiday, from cards to tags
and everything in between! We want to hear what you're creating and how you're
coping with the holiday rush. And of course, there are PRIZES up for grabs!

Today we're featuring tags, and My Favorite Things has a variety of tag Die-namics
so you can whip up a ton of them to add to gifts, or stick them on to a card.
Here's some that I whipped up.

 I used the Stitched Traditional Tag STAX and die cut the new Calm and Cozy Chevron
patterned paper and backed it with coordinating card stock to give it some heft.

I added the jolly Santa who was colored with Copics and cut with the matching dies,
and popped him up on the tag base. The sentiment was white embossed
and the banner was cut and adhered to the tag. The final touch was adding
a jingle bell and some twine through a punched out hole.

And just for fun--since I had him colored--here's a blue Santa.
No, he's not sad--he's cool! (Wink!)

For more tag-alicious inspiration, visit My Favorite Things, and get all the deets

on how you can win some new MFT goodies! Thanks for stopping by!
