WWC215 – Donna\’s Feminine "Anything Goes" Challenge

April 3, 2019 Karen Brown4 Comments

Hello and welcome to Watercooler Wednesday\’s Feminine \”Anything Goes\” Challenge. Donna is our hostess this week.

Feminine cards are so fun to create and I really enjoyed making this one. My daughter is a scientist with the Environmental Protection Agency and I wanted to make a special card for her.

$Stamping Bella\'s Sage the Scientist stamp set on a handmade card.$

I started by stamping the image and sentiment from Stamping Bella\’s \”Sage the Scientist\” onto XPress It paper. I then selected fun bright Copic colors and colored away. I wanted the test tubes to stand out so I added a coating of Nuvo Crystal Glaze to each of them. I used MFT\’s Die-namics stitched die and then popped it on a bright green note card.

Head over to the Watercooler Wednesday Challenge website for all the details.

I am entering this card in Simon Says Stamp Animal AnticsChallenge. Aren\’t those little lab assistants adorable?

Thanks for stopping by!

Corgis are the Best

June 19, 2018 Karen Brown12 Comments

My daughter has the most adorable Corgi, so I wanted her birthday card to feature her beloved \”Newton\”. I recently purchased the MFT Lucky Dog set so that I would have a Corgi stamp. I thought a clean and simple card with just Newton colored (and emphasized) would be a fun look.

I am happy with the way the card turned out and am entering it in several challenges:

Casology \”Jumpy\”Challenge

Muse Challenge 271 (focusing on the dog, birthday and \”subjects in a row\” themes)

MFT Birthday Project Challenge

I have two daughters and I wanted to send them each a personalized card. My youngest has blond hair and lives with a 95 pound rescue dog named \”Tank\”.

GRAB OUR BADGE!

I used SSS Abby\’s Spring Showers for each of the girls and MFT Lucky Dog for both pups. I colored each card with Copic Markers. I also \”made my mark\” and colored in the sentiment for a brighter look.

Corgi Card for Terminally Ill Friend

May 12, 2018 Karen Brown1 Comment

I have been sending cards to a friend with cancer, but now that his prognosis is terminal, I have changed the type of handmade card I am creating. Get well cards are no longer appropriate, but I still want my friend to know I am thinking about him. My friend loves dogs (and dogs love him!) so I thought this cute Corgi would help brighten his day. I used the MFT (My Favorite Things) Lucky Dog stamp set with the great sentiment \”Just Bepaws I Care\”.

I am entering this card in the CAS on Friday Challenge #132 where the prompt this week is \”Cute\”. Very few things are cuter that a Corgi.

I Stamped the Corgi, colored him in with Copic Markers and then fussy cut the pup. Next, I embossed the sentiment on black card stock. I thought a clean and simple layout would work best so that the emphasis was on the dog and the sentiment.

UPDATE: Our cute Corgi Card was chosen as a \”Top 3\” for the CAS on Friday Challenge!
