Heartfelt Thanks Nurse Cards

Hello all!  Today is finishing off Nurse's Week.  It is always the first full week in May.  I am a nurse, so when I saw the BB Call the Shots stamp set from MFT, I knew I had to grab it!  I also purchased the set with the male nurse on it (my husband is also a nurse) called BB Super Hero in Scrubs.

These poor cards have been finished for a long time, I just never took the time to photograph them.  Therefore, I am not counting them in my UFO postings/counting because technically they were finished already, but I am happy to have them off my crafting area all the same.  The patterned papers are from The Paper Studio's Watercolor Daydream paper pad.  I used Totally Sky and Totally White Trendy Twines on the blue cards and Pink Midnight Trendy Twine on the pink cards.

Stitched heart dies were cut and adhered to the card next.  The white heart was popped up with foam tape.  I stamped the nurse from BB Call the Shots with Scrapbook.com hybrid ink, cut them out with my Brother Scan N Cut, and colored them with my Artify Alcohol markers.  The sentiment was actually from the BB Super Hero in Scrubs set and was also stamped with black ink.  Additional adhesives used include Bearly Art Glue, and ATG.  A single red gem inside one heart was the finishing touch.

Here is a look at all the cards I created.  I had fun making different looks just by changing what colors of markers I used.

I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!

Blue and Lime Nurse Card

Hello all!  I needed some crafting therapy time, so I decided to play along with the current My Favorite Things Challenges: Color #184 and Sketch #582.  This card was the result!

Products used include: MFT Call The Shots, MFT Superhero In Scrubs, Scrapbook.com hybrid black ink, VeraMark ink, white embossing powder, Artify Markers, Echo Park Paradise Beach 6x6 paper, Cottage Cutz stitched rounded rectangle die, corner chomper, GMD Sophisticated enamel dots, ATG, Bearly Art glue, and foam tape.  

P.S. I just realized this is the very first project I have posted to my blog all year so far that didn't have pink in it!  I love pink, but maybe I should be broadening my color palette a bit LOL!

I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!

Valentine's Day Card

Good morning and Happy Valentine's Day!  This morning my 3 year old daughter asked me to make her a Valentine's Day card.  I had given all the kids a small gift this morning, but apparantly she appreciates my cards more than I realized 😄.  Here is the result of that request...

Background paper is from Teresa Collins' Gold Glam 6x6 paper pad (a gift from Kendra...Thank you!!)  I added a die cut heart, then used MFT's All About You stamp set and die for the sentiment.  The stamping was done with VersaMark and heat embossed with gold.  The finishing touch was a trio of GMD New Years Sparkle enamel dots.  Adhesives used were ATG, Bearly Art precision glue, and foam tape.

I'm happy to report that my daughter loved her card!

I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!

Happy Birthday to YOU

 Hello all!  I am popping in quick to share this card I just finished for my niece's birthday.

I used two shades of gray cardstock, patterned paper from Echo Park's 6x6" Summer Dreams paper pad, and MFT All About You stamp set and die for the main parts of this card.  Additional products used include CC stitched circle dies, Totally Limeade Trendy Twine, GMD Watermelon Color enamel Dot, SB.com Havana Red hybrid ink, VersaMark, white embossing powder, Bearly Art glue, foam tape, and ATG.  The 16 was cut out with a font built into my Brother Scan N Cut.

Nurse Heartfelt Thanks Card

Hello all!  I am back to share one of the nurse themed cards I just created.  There will be several more in the future!  I am looking forward to sending some of these out to nurses in the family to know how appreciated and loved they are.  This pandemic isn't for the faint of heart in the medical profession, my husband and I know that first hand!

The stamps I used are all from My Favorite Things and include: Abstract Roses Background, Call the Shots, and Super Hero in Scrubs.  The background was inked with Scrapbook.com Candy Shop Pink ink.  The nurse from Call the Shots was stamped with Scrapbook.com hybrid black ink, colored with Artify alcohol markers, and cut with my Scan N Cut before adhering it to the focal rectangle with Bearly Art Precision Glue.  The sentiment from Super Hero in Scrubs was stamped in VersaFine and heat embossed with a glitter black powder.  An enamel dot and a small red heart were the only embellishments I added to this card.

I am entering this card into the following MFT challenges:

You Are Amazing Card

Hello all!  I recently was gifted a $100 certificate to My Favorite Things, which was amazingly generous of them!  I was able to purchase several of their wonderful products and they arrived today.  I couldn't wait to get creating, so I decided to jump into their challenges (Sketch 576 and Color Challenge 181) with both feet using some of the new products.  Here is what I created.

The stamp set I used was MFT All About You and the die cut is by the same name.  I die cut the "you" first, then stamped it so make sure it was centered well.  The "are amazing" was embossed with clear embossing powder.  The background was created by ink blending Picked Raspberry and Candied Apple Distress Oxides, then I heat embossed with clear embossing powder on those areas, making a fun shiny texture.  I splattered with black acrylic paint, then die cut with a GMD stitched rectangle die.  The gray was cut with a GMD Eyelet Elegance die.  To embellish, I added a few black pearl pen dots.

I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!
