Tuesday with Toni - MFT Friends with Fins

Hello, everyone!  I cannot believe it's August already, can you? Just a few more weeks of warm weather so best be getting those summer cards in!

Today's card features MFT Friends with Fins. I love these whales and dolphins. Personally I think they will look so cute with Santa hats and scarves. Yes, I'm thinking about Christmas cards already!

My first step was to sponge Distress Oxides for the water with Ranger Mini Ink Blending Tools.  I then cut this panel using MFT Ocean Waves. I set that aside to dry thoroughly before embossing the sentiment with Versamark and Ranger White Super Fine Detail Embossing Powder.

In the meantime I sponged the MFT Ray of Light stencil using MFT Lemon Drop and a Picket Fence Studios Blender Brush. So cheery. I then stamped and colored the MFT Friends with Fins images using Copics.

Gray can be rather blah so I added lots of dots using Copic 00 and the darker grays.

Final touches including adding Ranger Glossy Accents to the spouting water and a Mini Action Wobble Spring to the dolphin. I tucked his tail behind the water so it looks like he's jumping right out at you. So very fun!

Friday with Amy: Sunny Studio Stamps | Flying by...

Hi and Happy Friday!  Today I'm sharing a card that features some fun new Sunny Studio Stamps!

I couldn't wait to ink up the new Plane Awesome set.  If you don't follow me on my social media accounts you might not know that my husband is a pilot.  It's his hobby and I'm so fortunate to be able to join him on trips.  So this particular set is right up my alley.  

I teamed it up with the new Fluffy Clouds Sunny Snippets and Frilly Frames Hexagon Sunny Snippets.  I was pretty pleased that the Broken China - Distress Oxide matched perfectly with the aqua cardstock I had on hand.  The interior rectangle has been inked up with Broken China.  Aren't the Fluffy Clouds awesome?

I coordinated my copic markers with the cardstock.  I do love the unexpected pop of lime from his flying goggles.  Do you see the 'movement' in the propellor?  So fun, love that little detail.  Here are the copics I used:

Tuesday with Toni: Mama Elephant Little Panda Agenda

Hello, everyone!  Are you ready for an absolute jumble of colorful cuties? I certainly am!

Today's card could hardly be simpler.  I stamped the Mama Elephant Little Panda Agenda images right from the plastic backing sheet onto Strathmore Bristol Smooth Paper. I used my MISTI and double-sided tape to hold it in place.

Note: I masked off the top and bottom of the card front before stamping so there would be an even white edge all around.

I watercolored all of those cute pandas using my brightest Zig Real Brush Pens.

I stamped the MFT Birthday Bear sentiment onto a black banner diecut using Versamark. I heat embossed it with Ranger White Super Fine Detail Embossing Powder and popped it up on the card front using Scotch Foam Tape.

Friday with Amy: Avery Elle | Sound the Alarm

Hello, it's Friday and I'm back with another project.  Do you always have a nice stash of birthday cards?  It seems like when I do, then they all go out at the same time leaving me without any.  I'm trying to be better about making several a month rather than scurrying around at the last minute.

Today I'm featuring a couple cute sets by Avery Elle!

I think the Peek-A-Boo Car along with all the Peek-A-Boo sets are so much fun.  For this project I used the Peek-A-Boo Summer Pals.

I started off with a kraft card base measuring 4.25 x 4.25.  I cut the My Favorite Things Stax Stitched Mini Scallop Square in white.  I fit a panel of My Favorite Things Tiny Check into the square using the My Favorite Things Stitched Scallop Basic Edges 2.  I wanted to leave a portion of the kraft exposed so it gives you the illusion that they are driving on the road.

I stamped the Peek-A-Boo Car onto white cardstock with black ink.  I did some quick masking and added the critters and gift into the car.  Everything has been colored with copic markers:

Car:

R21 | R22

Y04 | Y08

BG13 | BG15

V01 | V12

C00 | C1

T0 | T2

Critters:
G03 | G05
C7 | C9
Y04 | Y08
R20

I love how the cute frog has both 'hands' on the wheel while almost popping a wheelie.

I hope you have a wonderfully creative weekend!
