MHKDesigner Inspiration: Mynn

Hi, friends! I hope your November treated you well! Mine started out a bit rough, but it got better! I am back today to share about my month and a digital mixed media, triple time stamped card and I made using products from the MHKDesigns Etsy shop. Take a peek...

I am extra grateful for a lot of things in my life today. I had to undergo emergency surgery at the end of October and the recovery took up about half of November. I am so grateful to everyone who helped me during that time, so I thought I'd share a card with a thankful theme! :) This card uses a sentiment from the Thankful Thoughts digital stamp set and images from the I've Been Framed, Chicken In, and Fabulously Fall digital stamp sets.

I printed the panel I created in Photoshop three times so that I could die cut them to create a triple time stamped focal panel. A few pearls and paper leaves finished this off. I LOVE the way it turned out! What do you think? I would 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! Don't forget to head over to the MHKDesigns blog for more inspiration and join in our *NEW* challenge tomorrow for your chance at winning some digital goodies from the MHKDesigns Etsy Shop! Until next time, HUGS and happy {digital} stamping, friends!

Hello Readers,

Today I would like to show you how you can use your MHKDesigns digital stamps, photo-editing software, and traditional colored pencils to create a scenic card. But before we get to that here is my card for today, enjoy!

The sky was done digitally by using the gradation feature on my software
then I just plucked in some stars using my paint tool in various sizes.

MHKDesigns vintage images work so well with each other.

the versatility of stamp sets and variety of digital papers we have to offer

_____________________________________________

The witches, berry bush, and sky were all printed out I then added my own color
using colored pencils. It all came together to form a fantastic Halloween card.

The sentiment is actually black but all it took to change the text 
was the color bucket feature on my software. Also notice it is not white but a light blue. It is meant to make the eye go to the moon then the sentiment.

So don't be afraid to electronically color backgrounds, images, and even sentiments then print it out. Afterwards, you can use traditional methods to enhance your design.

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

Hello Readers,

As promised, I am here to show you more uses for your MHKDesigns digi stamps. Here is my card for today, enjoy!

Fall is in the air! Nothing says fall to me then apple picking. So naturally I used the apple from the Beginnings & Endings stamp set. The apple scene was created by using the same image multiple times. By rotating, flipping, and resizing it can look like a 'natural' apple tree branch.

I decided to work with the power of three. First, I divided the scene into thirds. Then I took the first third and split that panel into two sections, leaving the last two-thirds alone. 

The background paper was an old sheet of resume paper I had from ten years ago. I thought it would be perfect for this application. And let's not forget the apple blossoms which are depicted around the very fitting sentiment.

So keep stopping by the MHKDesigns blog to see more inventive ideas from our design team, play along with our monthly challenge, or just enjoy a bit of eye candy.

Fabulous Butterfly

Hi, friends!  Mynn here, and I'm super excited to be sharing some inspiration with you today that uses some of my favorite products from the MHKDesigns Etsy shop!  I went with a warm color scheme this time around...take a peek...

This beautiful butterfly is from the Butterfly Wisdom set.  I colored it with Spectrum Noir markers and added some Stickles to the center for added shine.

The sentiment is from the Fabulously Fall set.  I printed it on to vellum and then added it to the card by tucking it under and over papers so that the adhesive wouldn't show. ;)

The papers I used come from the Autumnal Accents pack and the Very Distressing pack.  I added some sequins and gold card for added shine and elegance.

I really love how this card turned out, and I hope you do, too! I can't wait to hear your comments about it below--I love hearing your feedback. :)

Thank you so much for stopping by today, friends!  That's all I have for you today, but I will be back later this month with inspiration for our February release, as well as our next challenge.  Until then, I hope you join in the fun of our CURRENT CHALLENGE, and take a trip to the MHKDesigns Etsy Shop to grab these goodies!  HUGS and happy {digital} stamping, friends! :)
