Die-namics Design - Cover Up Craze

It's time for another Die-namics Design Challenge. This month we are working with the Cover-Up Die-namics. I LOVE working with the Cover-Up Die-namics, they often add just the thing that your card needs.

For this first card, I used the Cloud Cover-Up Die-namics. I cut a smaller section of the Cloud Cover-Up in Berrylicious card stock. I paired the die-cut with a piece of vellum and a black Stitched Rectangle Frame Die-namics. I added a few sequins and a touch of glitter to the inside of the shaker. I created a fun rainbow background with colourful strips of paper.


On the inside of the card, I stamped a sentiment from the Blue Skies Ahead stamp set.


For my second card, I created another fun shaker card. For this card I used the Sun Ray Die-namics. I die-cut the sun rays in Kraft card stock. I used some Foam Mounting tape and I created sections for each of the sun rays and the centre if the sun.


I filled each sun ray section with gold glitter and the inside of the sun with yellow glitter. On the inside of the sun I added a few Little Letters. I finished off the card with a Stitched Rectangle Frame.


On the inside of the card, I stamped a sentiment from the Blue Skies Ahead stamp set.

Stylin' with Stencils

Stencils may not get the same recognition as stamps and dies but believe me, they simply can’t be beat in terms of versatility. Their flexibility and durability make them the perfect choice for adding color and texture with any number of mediums and with close to 70 different options in two different sizes available in the MFT shop, you’re sure to find the perfect design for your next project. This month, our team is inspiring you to play with stencils.



For my first card I sponged ink over the Equalizer Stencil to create this fun background. I used Lemon Chiffon, Daffodil, Lemon Drop, Orange Fizz, Tangy Orange Premium Dye Ink. The fun Headphones were die-cut in Black Licorice card stock.



On the inside of the card, I stamped a sentiment from the Keep on Rockin' stamp set and I added another small Headphones Die-namics.


 For this second card, I embossed the card front with the Square Tiles Stencil. Embossing is one of my favourite techniques to do with stencils.


The flowers are from the new Lisa Johnson Circle Scribble flower. The flowers were stamped on Ripe Raspberry and Lemon Chiffon card stock, the leaves on Limelight card stock. The Totally Happy sentiment was stamped on Stitched Fishtail Flag.


On the inside of the card, I stamped a sentiment from the Totally Happy stamp set. I also added another Circle Scribble flower.

Creative Construction with Blueprints - Wonky Panels

It's time for another Creative Construction with Blueprints challenge. This month we are working with Blueprints with wonky panels, Blueprints 15 and Blueprints 18.



For my first card I combined elements from Blueprints 15 and Blueprints 18.  These two sets work together so well! I stamped the large wonky panel with the Happy Birthday Background, the stitched main panel was stamped with the Grid Background. The sentiment is from the Totally Happy stamp set.

On the inside of the card I stamped a sentiment from the Birthday Greetings stamp set.


My second card is based on one of the Blueprints 18 sketches. You can find all of the sketches here. I used the same colour for this card as I did the first one. I stamped the Lemon Drop with the Grid Background, the Persimmon was stamped with the Spotlight Sentiments.


On the inside of the card, I stamped a sentiment from the Totally Happy stamp set.
