My Favorite Things - World Card Making Challenges - 4 for 4!

Hello again friends!  

Did you get some good crafty card making time 

in yesterday for World Card Making Day?  

I was able to make three of my DT cards for 

an upcoming October release (which will be revealed

next week) and I also made four - yes FOUR - cards

so I could play along with the WCMChallenges at

MY FAVORITE THINGS.  I'm pretty proud of

myself because I haven't made that many cards in

one day in a very long time :o)! So much fun!

All my cards are much more CAS and simple than

I usually do but I was pressed for time and wanted to play 

along.  I surprised myself and really like how they turned out!

Challenge #1 was to use the colors of the rainbow

Here's my first card for the 9 am challenge ROYGBIV

(Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Violet - I don't know what 

the I stands for :o)) using the fun mixing bowls from 

Kitschy Kitchen and a sentiment from You Bake Me Happy.

My background was colored with Distress ink oxide.

I thought about splattering it but decided I liked it clean.

The second challenge of the day was Die-namics Designs

to use 100% die cuts on the card.  Here's my card using 

Roses in Bloom.  

The third challenge of the day was By the Numbers 

and incorporate a # on your card.  

I used the sweet Baby Onesie die to make a 1st birthday card

And the fourth challenge of the day was to MAKE and MAIL

a card to someone. This one will be going to a friend that

I haven't had the pleasure of seeing for awhile.  We need to

"dish" and catch up on lots!  I had stamped a bunch of the little

bowls while I was deciding on my rainbow theme so decided to 

use them on this last card too.  

Stamps used are from Kitschy Kitchen, and You Bake Me Happy.

Thanks for visiting me today.  I apologize for the 

poor quality photos.  I was pretty late when I took the

pictures of the cards and didn't have time to redo them this

morning before I'm off to my volunteer clean up day

for the Lions Club.  Have a fantastic day peeps!  

Hugs! D

My Favorite Things 2017 Card Design Superstar Contest - CAS Birthday

hello friends!

I was so excited to see this fabulous contest happening

at My Favorite Things - did you see it too???

In case you missed it I'll quickly fill ya in.

MFT is holding a contest for an opporunity to 

be a Card Design Superstar and there are (of course) 

absolutely AMAZING PRIZES

 - more than $4,000 for the FIFTEEN winners!  

The contest ends tonight at 10PM EST.

There are 3 different categories to participate in:

CLEAN and SIMPLE Genius

COLORING VIRTUOSO

INNOVATION MASTER

I love MFT products and have quite a

stash (many of which I haven't inked up or used yet)

but life has been a tad (okay more than a tad) bit crazy 

for me lately and I wasn't sure I was going to have a 

chance to participate.  Well...I stayed up late last night

and was able to get at least one card made to enter.

I decided to stretch myself and go with the CAS category

since that is the one style I make the least amount of 

cards with.  I made a card that I was so super excited about

BUT... as I picked it up from my craft table I somehow had 

gotten my finger and thumb in some red ink and left two

not so lovely fingerprints right on the card. UGH!  

I was so disgusted with myself that I just had to go to bed.

This morning I got up and decided I was going to make a

another card but a little differently (didn't want the bad juju again).

Here's what I came up with 

I used the following MFT products:

Make a Wish stamp set (sentiments)

Die-Namics Birthday Candles

Subtle Plaids Paper Pack (6 x 6) for the candles

So...thanks for visiting me and please wish me good luck!

It would be so amazing to win.  There are some unbelievable

entries so far.  I'm really glad that I don't have to choose :o)

You can find my card and many other awesome CAS creations by

little town scene were sponged with distress inks (die cut
