Christmas Series 2018 _ Day #9 Little Secret Santa

Happy Wedensday!  I am bakc to share the ninth video in my 2018 Christmas Series!  This one took a while to create and then to edit the video but I am so happy with the way this turned out.  Originally, I was inspired by this project that I created last year for my December Daily album. It is still one of my very favorite projects! When I saw these new images from MFT Stamps, I knew that I had to create this scene for my album this year! Once again, this project is a mix of old and new products from different companies that somehow all come together to look like a perfect match-up!

I had planned on creating a double-paned window so that we could peek in and see both the children and Santa hiding behind the tree.  I then had the idea to add Whimsy Stamps new Kinetic Dies so that I could have a hidden slider incorported into the page for a super cute surprise!  I think this is such an awesome way to add an interactive component to an album page or a card!

In the video, I will take you through the steps of making both pagers and include tips and tricks to adding the slider component to the page. Once you see how it is done, you will realize that it is actually pretty easy! I don’t include all the coloration in the video….it would have been way too long!  I do, however show how to color up the tree and all the copic markers that I used for the rest of the images are listed below!  Just check any of my coloration videos to see my coloring technique!

Mermazing Card Set | MFT stamps + Video Tutorial

Happy Monday! I hope that you are having a great day and week so far! I have a new card set to share with you today that features some of the new May release from MFT Stamps! This project was so much fun to create! You will find a how-to video after the photos below and in it, I will take you through the coloration process for the images as well as show you how I created the backgrounds!

I am a HUGE fan of the Birdie Brown line from MFT Stamps and when I saw that there was a new Mermaid set, I just was giddy with excitement. I have paired up the Mermazing Set with the new Exquitiste Ocean set and I love how much versatility you get my changing up the different element combinations!

I have listed all the Copic markers that I used for each image below. Although the colors stayed roughly the same for each mermaid, a few change ups and different coloring orders made each mermaid unique!

A Novel Birthday | MFT & Mama Elephant

Happy Thursday! We have finished digging out after that massive snow storm! I think there might be some potential skiing this weekend. In fact, if we are’t able to head up to one of the mountains, I think I will break out my cross-country skis and spend some time in the woods over at the local ecological center! I can’t pass up what is probably my last opportunity!

I have a birthday card and how-to video to shre with you today. This card was made a month ago for my sister. We ended up having to cancel our origianl birthday plans for her as both families were pretty sick. Of course, I had to wait until she had actually received her card before actually sharing this on my blog.

One of the things that I really enjoy about card making is that I can personalize the card for the recipient. In this case, my sister is an avid reader and loves to curl up in her comfy chair with a good book. She also has a sweet dog and a recently taken in cat that are part of her day. With this stamp set, I was able to create a little scene that was so exactly her. The sentiments were spot on as well.

If you want to see how I created my card, you can watch the video below which takes you through the process from start to finish!
