Washi Meets...MHK Designs - Furs & Paws + Decorate to Celebrate #107

(I have another post today...if you're looking for my Word Art Wednesday project, please click HERE)

Hello, crafty friends!

I have lots to share today! This is the second post AND I have 2 projects, one using Washi Tapes (are you still addicted?)...I didn't want to split it, otherwise I would have 3 posts!!!

OK, so the first is for Decorate to Celebrate #107: Anything Goes.

Create anything 3-D for a chance to win a prize from Rhonda!

This was my first attempt at an (explosion) box card. This one is more simple, just "one layer"...

Closed...

Opened...

I used Mini Books Cricut cartridge for the box.

I love the 3-tier cakes that I see on Pinterest, but for this one, I ended up using my Artiste CTMH Cricut cartridge for the hexagon cake, flowers and the square lid.

*********************************************************************************

And the second project is for MHK Designs! 

My friend Mynn started an Etsy Shop and she has digital stamp sets and patterned papers for sale!

I'm showcasing Fur & Paws today!

Here's the stamp set:

And here's my card:

I used washi tapes...as my patterned papers. I found some wide ones at Michael's on clearance!

I colored the dog with Copic markers...hum...I just realized I didn't add a shadow for the dog...oh, well, too late! I already took the picture...

And I added a black enamel star (CTMH) near the sentiment. 

Thanks for stopping by!!!

Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog DT Challenge #258: Campout!

 Happy Monday and welcome to another FCCB Monday challenge!

Challenge #258-Camping
Create a project that features camping activities.

This Weeks Sponsor

And the prize is:

 This is a FUN PACKED full of pretty flower & leaf dies. It includes a total of 18 dies.  All of the flower dies include outside stitching on the negative portion. This die set is valued at $24.99!

To qualify for the prize, be sure to use at least 1 Cricut cut on your project and if it's not obvious, let us know what cartridge you used. If you use a Cricut Explore machine, at least one cut must be from the Cricut catalog of images.

So...we don't really camp here...well, sometimes we camp in my in-laws' field with friends. And they have a lot of deer and wild animals there...I love watching them pass by!

So, here's my funky card...you can say I was experimenting...

Challenges:

1. Artistic Inspirations #138: Anything Goes

2. Dies R Us #31: The Great Outdoors

I had started to make a tri-fold card for this challenge, but somehow I "lost" it...I'm pretty sure it's right in front of my nose, but I can't find it! (Can you tell my desk is a mess? I have like "thousands" of projects going on...)

Anyway...I used Artfully Sent CTMH Cricut cartridge for the deer and bunny. I colored them with gel sticks (aka Gelatos for kids) and blended them with a wet wipe. Some details were done with a Copic marker.
I stamped the eagle and clouds (CTMH), and "sun rays" (Stampabilities). I also colored the clouds with gel stick, blending it with my finger.
I added sequins on the eyes because I didn't like what I'd done with a black pen...(they look like they're scared, though...). Oh, well! Like I said, I was experimenting... =)

Have a nice week! And thanks for stopping by!

French Dies {Fri}: Seahorse Bubbles Card

Happy Friday!

Time to use my die cut machines...

I used Artfully Sent CTMH Cricut cartridge for the card. And my ScanNCut for the shapes (starfish and shell).

I inked the shapes with ink pads and added texture (dots) with Glossy Accents and pearls on the shell.

For the back panel: I drew random circles using a blue gel stick (aka Gelato for kids) on green cardstock and blended with a wet wipe.

Sea Horse stamp is from Creative Vision Stamps. It was colored with Copic and adhered with foam dots. 

Seashell and tiny starfish were also adhered with foam dots.

I finished it up with scattered pearls.

Challenges:
1. City Crafter Week #274: Mood Board by Ros
2. Die Cuttin' Divas #228: Nautical
3. The Male Room #16: Theme - Vacation/On the Beach
4. {Pin}spirational #146
