I was thrilled to see that MFT was offering a third session of
Camp Create
earlier this week and even more excited when Sage said she's play along with me!
So, today, I'm sharing the cards that we made for the week of camp.
I wanted to make a card to thank Denise, our slo-pitch
team's organizer and coach.
Since her favourite colour is pink, I knew this would be the
perfect challenge to make her a card.
I decided to use the stamps and dies from my Flashy Florals kit.
I started by partially stamping my background using the
MFT Scattered Surface Background stamp.
I stamped the flowers on their coordinating diecuts
and had fun stamping my leaves in pink, too!
I diecut the "thanks" die from white cardstock and blended ink
onto the bottom half of it before adhering it to my card with dimensional adhesive.
Sage used the same background stamp to make her card.
She blended ink onto white cardstock and diecut it
with the Soda Pop bottle dies.
She added the details to the bottles and stamped the sentiment
(also from Soda Pop) onto it.
We both earned this badge:
the same Geometric Grid stencil that she used.
We also both decided to use this challenge to create birthday cards
for my twin brother -- whose birthday is today!
Happy Birthday, Chris!
Sage created her card first.
You may know that Sage is new to ink blending -- not that
you can tell from the results on her cards!
But this was the first time that she blended ink using a stencil -- and she loved it!
She used four shades of ink to create her ombre effect.
She stamped the sentiment (from Soda Pop) and added some enamel dots.
Here's my card:
I used my new Clarity Stencil Brushes to apply Hawaiian Shores ink
to my white cardstock panel.
I, too, used the Soda Pop sentiment, stamping it onto strips of black cardstock
and heat embossing it in white.
I stamped the "Chris" using Hand Lettered Holiday (I selectively
inked the "Christmas" stamp) and added a trio of enamel dots to finish it off.
For this challenge, we earned this badge:
I used emboss resist three different times on my card.
I started by stamping the lines from the leaves onto a piece of
white cardstock in Altenew Forrest Glades.
Then, I stamped over top in versamark using the solid leaf image,
which I heat embossed in clear.
I blended Altenew's Frayed Leaf ink over top with my blending tool.
For my background, I heat embossed the Scattered Surface Background stamp
in white and blended Altenew Ocean Waves over top.
I diecut my Flashy Florals blooms and stamped them with Ocean Waves
in the centre and then a second time in versamark (using my MISTI).
I heat embossed these in clear and then stamped the blooms in yellow
over top, so the centres resisted the ink.
I added a Reverse Confetti All Framed Out diecut to frame my sentiment
(stamped in Forrest Glades using PTI's Phrases and Praises stamp set.)
Sage decided to use the Soda Pop set again to make her card:
She stamped the sentiments onto her card base and heat embossed them
in white before blending ink over top and spritzing it with water.
She blended ink onto white cardstock and diecut her bottles from it.
It's so bright and cheerful -- I love how it turned out!
Here's the badge we earned:
For my card, I used my Soda Pop stamp set and dies,
Here's my card:
I started by embossing a MFT Circle onto my background and trimming
a strip off of the side (I was planning on using something else for my border --
like a dark cardstock, impressed cardstock or patterned paper -- but in the end,
I just replaced the strip, with a bit of dimension for the card front.)
I blended ink onto my circle and adhered my pop bottles over top.
I stamped the sentiments (from Soda Pop) onto black cardstock,
heat embossed them in white and cut them into strips, which I adhered
with dimensional adhesive.
A few wooden stars finish it off.
Sage used the thanks die from the Flashy Florals kit to make her card.
She impressed the die and then diecut it from a post-it note,
which we used to create a mask (I helped her with this, since it was new to her.)
She used my Clarity Stencil brush to brush Hawaiian Shores ink
over the bottom half of the word.
She stamped the leaf from Modern Blooms in three shades of green to make a wreath.
We both earned this badge:
Next up was a bonus challenge on Thursday evening:
Sage was getting a little tire of making cards, so she decided to
make her previous "thanks" card for both the Dry-embossing Challenge
and for the Bonfire Craft Challenge, since it's a one layer card
-- we hope that's okay!
And here's my card:
I started by stamping my sentiment (from PTI's Phrases and Praises)
in versafine onyx black ink and heat embossing it in clear onto a piece of watercolour paper.
Then, I stamped the leaves from Flashy Florals in five different shades of ink.
I took a paintbrush dipped in water and "coloured" over my stamped leaves
to create a watercolour effect on my card.
Here's the badge we earned:
The store where I sell my cards wanted some anniversary cards,
so I decided, since I was using my MISTI to create my card for this challenge,
to make five cards in five different colours, using Modern Blooms.
I started by stamped in the flowers and leaves in Wplus9 white
and then moving my panel over slightly and down to stamp the colour.
I diecut the "happy" from PTI's Colour Pop Butterflies kit and trimmed off
the "so" that was attached by hand.
I stamped "anniversary" on a strip of smokey shadow cardstock
and heat embossed it in white (using PTI's Wet Paint stamp set.)
I adhered the strip using dimensional adhesive.
And here's Sage's card, using stamps from Flashy Florals.
Isn't it pretty?
I think she was getting a little tired of making cards, but decided
to persevere to earn all five badges.
When she was done with this card, however, she was saying
how much she enjoyed this technique. :)
It's always fun stamping with my best girl!
And here's the final badge we earned:
Okay, well, I know that was a lot of cards for one post
but I hope you'll indulge me -- it is my birthday after all! ;)
Thanks for looking!
