Have A Ball!

I've had this gumball machine stamped and colored for a couple of months now, and finally was inspired to use it!  I created this card for MFT Camp Create Bonus: Gather 'Round the Campfire - Divine Dry Embossing.  I used one of my Spellbinders dies and embossing mat to create the white area behind the gumball machine.  It looks a little like a doily!  The other fun thing that I added was Stampin' Up Crystal Effects to the globe part of the machine to give it the look of gumballs inside the glass.  And you can't tell in the photo, but the pattern paper has some sparkle to it as well.  Can't wait to decide who to send this card to!

Besides entering this card in Camp Create, I also am submitting this for the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Use Patterned Paper.

Nature's Masterpiece

Day 5 of MFT Camp Create was Glitzy Glitter.  I love sparkle on my projects so I was thrilled!  This card is so simple, but it's probably now one of my favorites that I've created.  It's just calm and relaxing.  And I love when I start out on a card with no real ideas or designs in mind, and it just suddenly all comes together perfectly.  Have a great day!

Fore You Dad

Day 4 of MFT Camp Create was Sensational Sliders.  I created this Father's Day card (but really could be a birthday card, too) using the smartphone die from Lawn Fawn's Seflie Frames.  I was trying to give the illusion of swiping through photos on a phone.

After I took and uploaded the pictures of this card, I noticed the striped string shifted upwards a bit.  Grr... Oh well.

I am participating in My Favorite Things Camp Create Day 4, Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge: Let's Take a Vacation, and Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Use Patterned Paper.

Jawsome Dad

For day 2 of MFT Camp Create: Remarkable Resist I made 4 mini background squares.  I embossed using a stencil and Nuvo Glimmer Paste, then colored over the embossed areas with shimmer watercolors in blue and green to give it an ocean look.  I think it looks a little like ocean waves!  I then tilted the images as I adhered them to my card.  I stamped and colored the shark, and then stamped and colored two baby sharks (got this wonderful idea of creating baby sharks from Lawn Fawn's Yainea here: http://lawnfawn.blogspot.com/2017/06/lawn-fawn-video-6617-fathers-day-card.html).  Finally I put the finishing touches on the card by stamping the sentiments, adhering the sharks with adhesive foam squares, and adding a few iridescent sequins to look like bubbles.  I am so excited how this card turned out!  Can't wait for my kids to present it to my husband on Father's Day.

I am also entering this card in both the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge: Touchy Feely and Wednesday Challenge: Emboss It.
