Recoloring a Digital Sentiment Tutorial

Hi, friends! I hope your September was wonderful! I'm back with another card using digital products from the MHKDesigns Etsy Shop today. Today I'm sharing a card that uses the Stitched Tea Party set. Take a peek...

This card is one layer, y'all! I had lots of fun using my Digital Paper Fill technique for the scene. I used papers from the Sunflower Sampler and Get Well Flowers paper packs. A few brown gems and some glitter add texture and shine!

I decided to deck out my sentiment, too! I recolored part of it to match with the color scheme I had chosen for my scene. For details on how I colored just part of the sentiment and tips on other ways to alter sentiments, check out my latest YouTube video!

I think this card is super fun and I hope you agree! I can't wait to hear your thoughts about my card 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!

MHDesigner Inspiration: Mynn Kitchen - Digital Emboss Resist Tutorial!

Hi, friends! I hope your August went well! I've got another creation to share with you today that uses products from the MHKDesigns Etsy Shop--and it's completely ONE LAYER! I have a video tutorial on my YouTube station on how to create this card and the digital emboss resist effect, so head over there to check that, too! Here's my completed card...

This card uses an image and sentiment from the beautiful Mum's the Word digital stamp set. I used Photoshop to create the watercolor/emboss resist feel and to layer the elements. The colors are inspired by the upcoming autumn season here in the Northern Hemisphere. :)

After printing the card, all I did was round the corners for a finishing touch. I really adore the way this turned out and hope you like it, too! I would love for you to leave me your thoughts in the comments below!

MHKDesigner Inspiration: Mynn + Video Tutorial!

Hello, friends! It's time for me to share another card using products from the MHKDesigns Etsy Shop! I have another video tutorial on how to create this fun one layer card, so hop over to YouTube take a check it out! Here's my creation...

This card uses the Rosy Elements digital stamp set and the French Country digital paper pack. I created the panel in Photoshop (see the tutorial for details) and then printed it out. Some glitter was added to the flower centers and a few enamel dots added for a bit of dimension.

The finishing touch was to round the bottom corners of my card. I love the way this turned out, and I am excited that it will be super easy to mail--with no extra postage! What do you think? I would love to hear your thoughts in the comments below! :)

Faux Quilted Background Tutorial

Hi friends! I hope your summer/winter (depending on the hemisphere!) has been great so far! I am really exited to share that starting this month, I will be sharing tutorials here on the blog each month on how to create one-layer digital cards with products from the MHKDesigns Etsy Shop that look like the have been cut and layered! I feel like a lot of the cards I make are never mailed because they get bulky, so this is a way I can ensure that some of them at least will make it out of my house! ;)  Take a peek at the first card I have to share with you in this series...

Isn't it pretty??? I love the way the papers are layered and look like a faux quilt! That's why I'm calling this digital technique "Digital Faux Quilted Background". The papers I used for this technique are from the Sunflower Sampler digital paper pack. The image (from the Stitched Sunflower digital stamp set) was not colored digitally, though. I colored it in with Spectrum Noir markers after it was printed. The burlap ribbon was also added for some added texture!

If you'd like to see a tutorial on how to create this technique, head on over to check out the video on the MHKDesigns YouTube channel!! The card I make for the tutorial is different colors and looks like this once it is colored and has ribbon added...

MHKDesigner Inspiration: Judy

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!

Hey, friends!  Before we get started, I want to let you know that we are looking for our 2017 team starting TODAY!  You can get ALL the details HERE, so stop by and apply!  I love seeing all your gorgeous work, and I can't wait to see who applies this time around!

I am super excited to share my card with you today!  This card uses some lovely digital products from the MHKDesigns Etsy Shop, and I've got a video tutorial on how I created the effect, as well!  Take a peek at the completed card...

Fun, right?!  I decided for this card that i was going to play around with the Triple Time Stamping technique, but with digis!  Here's a quick run down of what I did (video tutorial can be found HERE on my YouTube station):

1. Print out the image (mine from the Blossoming digital stamp set) three times, in the same size.
2. Die cut each panel using nesting dies in three sizes.
3. Color all images the same way.
4. Add sentiment (mine from the Pansy Corner digital stamp set) to the top panel. (Optional--you could also print the sentiment as part of your main panels, if desired.)
5. Layer with simple matting.

Totally simple, right?!  I used Spectrum Noir markers to color the image from the Blossoming digital stamp set.  I went with oranges and yellows, and I love the way the colors POP with the black matting!

The sentiment, from the Pansy Corner digital stamp set, was printed onto vellum, then added to the top panel before I adhered it in place.  I decided to keep this card flat, so I didn't use dimensional foam.  It will be PERFECT for sending in the mail! :)

Thanks so much for stopping by today, friends!  I hope you join the monthly challenge we have going on at MHKDesigns!  Grab these goodies from the Etsy shop, take a peek at the video tutorial I have on how to create this technique, and get crafting today!  I'll be back later this month with more crafty posts!  Until then, HUGS and happy stamping, friends! :)
