TGF & Lifestyle Crafts Birthday Card

Hello everyone,

Today I have a card and a video to share. I made this card for my niece that's turning 7 soon. Last year I made her a card and the girl had blonde hair and she got insulted since she's got red hair. LOL! This year I made sure that I gave the girl on her card some fiery red hair.

                             

My Card

                                       

I did use Copics to color her in but I'm not an expert in Copic coloring so I didn't film that. I figured there are some real professionals out on YouTube land that will guide you better if you were looking to learn how to use them.  I'm still a true beginner. The rest of the making of the card is on the video.

Hello,
I figured I'll do a little Series of Valentine Crafts. I've seen some things online I've liked and some things I've thought of on my own so why not share.  I'll be posting videos on Tuesdays and Thursdays for the next three weeks. That way you still have a week before Valentine's incase there is something you would like to try.  For today's video I made heart shaped crayons.  They came out super cute if I do say so myself.

MFT card

Hello,
For today I have a card I created using MFT stamps for their weekly sketch. For more info click HERE.

Here is the sketch:

My take of it:

I used MFT's Maid For You stamp set. The card base is cut with The Paper Company's kraft cardstock, found at Joanns, cut at 5x10 scored at 5 inches to make a 5x5 card. The pattern paper is from My Mind's Eye Life Stories A Daily Dose Line collection 2. I colored my image with Prismacolor Pencils, PC 1065 Cool Gray 70%, PC 935 Black, PC924 Crimson Red, PC901 Indigo Blue, PC949 Metallic Silver, PC946 Dark Brown, PC911 and PC938 White. Added Glossy Accents to the TV screen and Cotton Ball White Fun Flock to her skirt ruffle and duster. To make the wood floors I just simple added a line in the middle and lines going up and down with 4 dots to signify the nails. Cut the scallop with some red scrap paper with Quickutz Scallop Edges die. Added some seam binding, a black button and a small red bell to the center of the bow. Stitched around the layers with my sewing machine. For the sentiment I used MFT's Twisted Sentiments stamp set with Versamark embossed with a la mode white embossing powder. Finished with a square black button that reminded me of Santa's buckle. That's all for today.

My baby girl

I had taken my daughter with me to get my son's pictures taken when he was 9 months old. Well she can't help herself she always loved to have her picture taken and they took this shot of her.  It was my absolute favorite.  She was dancing! It truly does capture her fun spirit.  

The breakdown and supplies:
 I took a piece of 12x12 paper from My Minds Eye Life Stories collection 2.  I Die cut a frame with Sizzix's Frame, ornate #3 with a piece of Core'dinations Core Couture paper in Elegance.  Took the frame and ran it through the Cuttlebug using the Swiss Dots Embossing Folder. Took my Making Memories sanding block and went over the top gently so that the dots would pop a little more. I had a piece of left over transparency so I cut the center oval out of that to be able to cut the picture to fit within the frame. Well I liked the way it looked. Made it look like a picture frame so I left it on the picture.  Popped the whole thing up with pop dots.  I added a strand of Prima Bling ( I purchased it a while ago at Michaels). On top of the bling I added a Recollections Boutique Fleur (It's the Michaels line of scrapbooking supplies). Through out the vine I also added some Prima Mini Roses and Recollections Mini Roses. Cut a few Butterflies with Martha Stewart 3 in 1 classic butterfly punch with some of the Core'dinations Core Couture paper in Elegance.  On the right hand side of the layout I used Papertrey Inks Dies to match Banner Builder Collection to cut the two rows of banners with Core'dinations Core Couture paper in Elegance for the bottom layer banner and some brown scrap cardstock for the top layer banner. Stitched some ribbon from Making Memories Vintage Findings Trim.  Added some more of the Recollections Mini Roses and Prima Mini Roses and some of the Martha Stewart 3 in 1 Classic butterfly punch to complete the layout.




That's it for today. Thanks for stopping by:
