MHKDesigner Inspiration: Julie

It's Friday, my crafty friends!  This is Julie with you today, and I have a trio of Christmas cards to recap with you from this past year.    I've begun writing my Christmas cards this week, and these 3 are some of my favorites!

The first card uses the Christmas Frames digital stamp set and Simply Seasonal digital papers. 

The second card uses Deck the Halls digital stamp set and Simply Seasonal digital papers.

The 3rd card uses the Deck the Halls digital stamp set and Deck the Halls digital papers. 

You'll find all the MHKDesigns products, and many more great ones, in the MHKDesigns Etsy Store.  Mynn has been running some great sales, so check often!  

I wish you all a happy, healthy holiday season!

Hello, friends! As you know by now, this month we are celebrating Christmas in July! It's my turn to post, and I've got a fun tag that uses digital stamps from the MHKDesigns Etsy shop. Take a peek...

This tag uses an image from the Deck the Halls digital stamp set. I colored the image with various Sakura gel pens, including a metallic green pen to outline the leaf veins and a red Glaze pen for the berries. I love the shine and texture it adds!

The sentiment, also from the Deck the Halls digital stamp set, was punched out and layered, then some liquid pearls were added around the scallop circle matting. Some ribbon, a button, and some twine decorate the top of the tag. So fun!

I decided to add some eyelets to the holes punched in this tag to keep it from tearing and I also rounded the corners of the bottom of the tag to mirror the scallop matting of the sentiment. I am super happy with how this turned out! What do you think? I'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments below!

That's all I have for you today, friends! Thank you so much for stopping by! I always love to hear from you, so please do let me know your thoughts in the comments below! Also, don't forget to join in our challenge for your chance at winning some digital goodies from the MHKDesigns Etsy Shop! Until next time, HUGS and happy {digital} stamping, friends!

Shake, shake, shake!  Hi, friends, it's Julie here today sharing some Christmas season inspiration in the form of a shaker card.  I always think they are so fun!

 I used MHKDesigns Deck The Halls digital stamp set for the holly and the sentiment.  The papers, also from MHKDesigns, are Simply Seasonal Digital Papers.

     This month we are celebrating all things seasonal so I have chosen to make a special tag for a special gift. For this tag I have used two image sets, Season's Greetings and Deck The Halls, along with a paper set Christmas Past.
     To begin I covered a tag with a paper from Christmas Past and coloured the edges, then printed the stocking from Deck The Halls and Father Christmas from Season's Greetings. The stocking I die cut tag shaped, coloured and then used embossing powder to decorate the edge. Father Christmas was die cut on a circle and mounted behind a die cut frame.
    Father Christmas was stuck flush on to the large tag but the small tag was stuck on using foam pads, making sure the holes lined up. To finish I have added ribbons, twine and a gold bell.

Season's Greetings

     Don't forget our challenge gives you the chance to win some MHK Designs sets and you don't even have to use our images to enter, but of course we would love it if you did.

Happy Crafting,

Hi there!

It's Judy here sharing my inspiration

for the month of November!

I've been working on making items to sell

at craft shows and decided to do some

quick and easy gift card holders

using the Deck the Halls  Stamp Set

&

Christmas Past Paper Set

I started by printing the stocking image 4 times,

colored with pencils and fussy cut.

Then I added some stickles for a little sparkle!

Cut a 3 1/2 x 8 1/2 inch piece of solid

card stock and a 2 1/4 & 3 1/4 inch piece of 

printed paper for each holder.

Take one piece of 3 /12 x 8 1/2 inch paper and score

2 inches from one end and 2 1/2 inches from the other.

Attach the printed papers to each end.

Glue the 2 1/2 inch scored end on each end 

to form the pocket to place the gift card in.

Decorate the outside as desired.

I die cut some ovals to pop my fussy cut stockings on and

glued to the top flap ( 2 1/2 inch end).

As the last step glue velcro to the inside of the top

flap and top of the bottom piece.

And, there you have it!

Quick and easy!

Until next time,

Happy Crafting!

Hello MHKDesign Fans,

For today I have an inspiration card using your MHKDesigns digital stamps. Here is my card for today, enjoy.

A shaker card seemed to add an extra Christmas
touch to our adorable rocking horse.
Lightly sponged the edges gray to create a more subtle feel to the card.

MHKDesigns vintage images work so well with each other.
I invite you to check out her Etsy store and see for yourself
the versatility of stamp sets and variety of digital papers we have to offer

___________________________________________________

I used three sets from MHKDesigns stamp sets. These stamps are so versatile
and fun to play with. You can resize and flip the image which is something that is
nearly impossible to get this resolution when flipping an image with rubber/polymer stamps.
Digital stamps- no problem!

I will encourage you to stop by the MHKDesigns blog to see more inventive ideas from our design team, and then play along with our monthly challenge, or just enjoy a bit of eye candy.

There is a lot more to discover at MHKDesigns Etsy Shop! Stop on over and see what we have to offer. It is certain to spark the imagination. So, thank you for stopping by and hope to see you soon. Take care and happy crafting.
