Funky Fall Foliage

And here is my card set~

I used Photoshop to create a foliage background using images from the Funky Fall Foliage set before adding a sentiment to match the colors on top.

I added faux stitching and glittery dots to the focal panels and backed them with a variety of digital papers. What do you think? I would love to hear your thoughts in the comments below!

Hello Everyone,

I'm a bit behind due to an illness that caused me to sleep for forty-eight hours straight, but all is well and I'm ready to show you some inspiration using your MHKDesigns digital stamps. Here is my card for today, enjoy!

Any nautical image on a card, for me, invokes a personal journey.
This card would be a perfect card for any occasion.
The soothing blues and muted grays are such a pretty combination.

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 the variety of digital papers we have to offer

______________________________

Embossing the base card really adds a lot of movement and texture.
I also used the emboss resist technique using my new star stamp and Oxide Inks. 

The black words and border visually make these elements the center of attention, allowing the anchor to be in the background of the card. Such a large and dominant image needed a balance and I thought these black elements were a perfect addition.

Since you are here, I encourage you to browse our blog and see more inventive ideas from our design team. It is our hope that you can play along with our monthly challenge. If not, 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.

All the best,

      Digi stamps don't have to be just for making cards, having made a batch of quince jelly this week I needed to label it. What could be better than home grown fruit made into home cooked jelly, in recycled jars with a hand crafted label.

      I used a frame from Easter Blessings and turned it green, then I typed my own description in green and printed it out on 120gsm paper. Then I put double sided sticky sheet on the back and die cut them.
      Before removing the die I used some pale green ink to colour the paper, once the die is removed you have a lovely white border.
     All that remains now is to find where I've put the pretty holly fabric I bought a few months ago and I can put a nice cover on them before Christmas.
     If you would like to know how to change the colour of a digi image then pop over to You Tube and watch our very own Mynn show you how in this video.

Easter Blessings

And here is my card~

I used Photoshop to create a night time background before adding an image and sentiment and image from the Celestial Elements set on top in white. I decided to frame my focal panel with glitter, mat it in black, and add it to a silver and glittery card base. What do you think? I would love to hear your thoughts in the comments below!

Hey there!

It's Judy here

sharing a little inspiration today.

I love the set

"The Write Stuff"

and thought some of the images n the set

would work great for a set of

easel desk calendar/sticky note holders.

These easel style projects are easy and quick to construct.

Each one takes an 8.5 x 11 inch piece of yardstick

and a couple pieces of coordinating DP.

I printed the images and die cut.

You adhere a mini calendar and 3x3 inch note pad.

I hope I've inspired you just a little

and that you'll check out all the

fabulous products MHKDesigns has to offer!

Until next time 

Happy Crafting!

Good morning, friends! Welcome to another month of MHKDesigner Inspiration blog posts. Every month our Design Team will showcase a project featuring products available in the MHKDesigns Etsy Store.

I'm kicking off our October series with a card featuring a digi from MHKD's October release set called Celestial Elements. It's already available for purchase in MHKD's Etsy store.

Here's my card - 2 interlocking moons with the perfect sentiment. With few tiny blings and some twine, my card is ready to fly off to a special person.

Come back soon for more inspiration from the rest of the design team. And don't forget to join in our MHKD October Challenge. You have until 31 October 2017 to link up your projects for a chance to win the lovely Tick Tock digital stamps and Fabulously Fall digital paper pack.
