MFT Stamps - Sketch Challenge!

Hi there everyone! Welcome to our weekly new Sketch Challenge at MFT Stamps! Every wednesday we have a fun new sketch up for you! Join us to have a change at winning a $ 50 gift Voucher at MFT Stamps! I created a fun card for you today with the amazing You're Super stamp set!

I started this card with a white card base in A2 size and then added a piece of grey patterned paper from the Wallpaper Patterns Paper Pad. I then created a front panel, for which I diecutted a piece of white cardstock with a die from the Stitched Rectangles A2 Stax Die-namics. 

To match the sketch I added another piece of grey patterned paper from the Wallpaper Patterns Paper Pad. I just love the brick pattern on this paper! I diecutted this piece with two rectangle dies, to create a frame in the middle, where I started working on a fun background!

I stamped the city block twice to create a city skyline on the bottom of my scene. I then blended the lights above the city and the night sky, adding some rays on there using the Ray of Light Stencil. I then added three circles at the side, with the small images from the stamp set and as my vocal point of this card, the super tough but still adorable supergirl!

Create cards, layouts, home decor, treat containers, mixed media, etc. using this week's sketch for a change to win a gift voucher at My Favorite Things! You can add your project to the InLinkz that are up at the MFT Stamps Blog! Good luck!

Thank you so much for watching today, hope to see you next time!

Hi there everyone! Just one more day to go to the June Vault Release at MFT Stamps! We are bringing back some retired Birdie Brown stamp sets this month, I'm so excited! Just love these sets! I'm sharing a card today featuring the amazing You're Super stamp set! Just one more day to go, these stamps will all be available in the store tomorrow!

I started this card with a white card base in A2 size. I then added a front panel which I diecutted with the largest die from the A2 Stitched Rectangles Stax. I started blending a fun background for the cutest super hero ever! 

I blended a sky using blue colours and yellow, to mimic a city with lights at night. I added some rays of light, shining into the sky featuring the Ray of Light Stencil. I then blended the bottom and stamped the fun buildings from the set directly on to my background using black ink. I then stamped the amazing girl and text cloud, diecutted them and coloured the girl with Copic Markers.

Stampin with Liz Design: You're Super Card!

Hi everyone! Welcome today at a new blog post from Stampin with Liz Design! As you probably know, I do love entering card challenges, especially sketch challenges. So when the new sketch challenge at Mft Card Challenges went live yesterday, I sat down to create a fun card!

I love using sketches as a starting point for a card. It takes you places sometimes you normally wouldn't think about when you start creating. For this card I started thinking about the layout first and then decided which stamp set I was going to use for it. Mostly I work the other way around. I then pick a stamp set and start from there.

So for this card I created a background first. I diecutted a piece of white cardstock with the largest die from the Stitched Rectangles Die-namics from Mft. I then blended my background with two colours of ink from Stampin' Up, Blueberry Bushel and Pacific Point with a blending tool. I covered the upper part with a mask that I created by diecutting post it tape with a die from the Stitched Cloud Edges, so it would leave a nice white cloudy space on top. I added some stars from the stamp set You're Super with Versamark ink and white embossing powder. I heat setted this with a heat tool.

I then diecutted white cardstock with the fun new die from the Tag Builder Blueprints 7 and blended this with a blending tool and Spun Sugar Distress ink from Ranger. I used the Radiating Rays stencil to apply rays of Sunshine by again using a blending tool and Picked Raspberry Distress ink. I used this piece as a shaker frame by placing some window sheet behind the circle and placed some sequins behind this, attaching it with dimensionals on to my card.

I then stamped and diecutted the cute Super Girl from the stamp se You're Super and started colouring my image with Copic Markers. You can see which markers I used in the photo below. I stamped the city image twice and fussy cutted this image to place at the bottom of my card, diecutting is first with the same stitched rectangle die to make it fit my background perfectly. To finish this fun card, I stamped the tekst 'Never Fear, Your Birthday is Here' that came from the stamp set Super Dog. I used black cardstock and Versamark ink and white embossing powder for this as well. I just love the embossed touch!

Thank you so much for watching today, hope to see you next time!
