MHK Designer Inspiration: Lorie

Happy Sunday all!  I'm on the blog today to share a card that I've made with the Wonderful Wreath set.  This is really one of my favorite sets of our October release simply because you can make a whimsical card or a super fancy card with it or in my case somewhere in between! Here is the set in it's entirety:
 And below here is the card I made with it: 
I have pulled out all of my Christmas/winter themed papers and decided to use this lovely, almost vintage colored paper.  Can you see Santa's face just peeking on the bottom of the largest circle?  :)  I did use a sketch (I used to think it was cheating to use a sketch but now a days I know I won't get a card made if I don't follow a sketch...anyone else like me?) for this card and added a couple of extra layers to it to give it somewhat of a luxurious feel.  I love using pearls or bling of some sot on my cards so I added some pearls here to play on the vintage feel. 

Make sure you check out all of the wonderful MHKDesigns sets HERE and join us in our challenge for the month HERE.  

Have a wonderful Sunday everyone!

MHKDesigner Inspiration: Jessica

Hello friends!

It's Jessica here with another Designer Inspiration!

I decided to work with a stamp set called "Wonderful Wreath" and I used the Digital Paper "Deck the Halls". I went a little glitter crazy ;)

Designer Inspiration: Jerrie

Hi crafty friends!  This Wonderful Wreath was released in October and it is paired with another great image Friendship to create this Christmas card.  Deck The Halls paper is also used.

I love the cow and the cat peeking through the center of the wreath.  Red bling was used for the berries to add some sparkle.




Hope you have fun making your Christmas cards and get your creativity flowing!!

MHK Designer Inspiration | Katie Skiff

Hi crafty Friends!  It's Katie Skiff here today to share a fun card with you!! 

When I first saw the Wonderful Wreath set, I really wanted to make this card, but didn't get a chance too.

MHK October Challenge

For mine, I went with some heavy brown cardstock and I ran it through my Big Shot with my wood grain embossing folder.  A wood grain stamp would be great for this effect as well.    I decided I wanted more of an inlay look, so I used my rectangle dies to cut out the middle portions, and matted that on another piece of cardstock.
I hung the wreath with some twine and an enamel dot.  Then I created the door knob with some glitter paper (it was on my desk) and another dot.  Super cute!!
Be sure you grab this super cute set  - Wonderful Wreath - and use the fun wreath image!!

While I didn't get all of the colors, I did use this image from our October Challenge to get inspiration from.  How perfect is this set for this challenge!  Check out our challenge details HERE.

Thanks for letting me share today!  Enjoy your Monday!
