DT Project By Paula Featuring My Minds Eye

We had a fab kit of My Minds Eye papers, stamps and embellishments.....the collection is called "Kraft Funday/ Everyday Fun" -Ive made 8 cards that I'll be showing over the next few days.

I just want to take this opportunity to say a big 'Thank You' to Val and Don for asking me to be a part of their Design Team - Ive had a terrific time but due to personal circumstances I've had to step down....also a big thank you to everyone who has taken the time to comment on my projects, it's been very much appreciated.

So, on with the cards....

Card One

I've used the MME paper called 'Ziggity', the dots are a stamp from the 'Everyday Fun' stamp set, the wording is a stamp from the 'Happy Days' stamp set and finally, the brad is from the decorative brad set but Ive coloured the zigzag edged circle it came with, with white paint...also Ive edged the paper with white paint too.

Card Two

Ive used the dotty stamp again but with Versafine 'Smokey Grey' ink, as well as using the words 'Celebrate' and 'Today' which also come from the 'Everyday Fun' stamp set, plus Ive used 3 brads from the 'Decorative Brad' set.

DT Project By Lesley Featuring My Mind's Eye Kraft Funday products

Good morning Everyone,

Well, this is probably my last post for 2011 on the Snazzy DT blog and this month the selection we were sent to work with were fabulous products from My Minds Eye Kraft Funday Collection . This includes a wonderful selection of double sided Kraft papers with matching brads, buttons and clear stamps and today I have two cards to show you.

The first, as you can see is an easel card. I cut the main image from one of the 12" x 12" papers using a Nestability die and enhanced the figures by colouring a little with Inktense Pencils and then matted first onto a red corrugated card and then an ivory card both cut with scalloped Nestabilities.

The scallop edged strips were punched from another of the Kraft papers and edged with black Versafine ink. The banner, words and stars are images from the clear stamps and I used Versafine to stamp with before cutting them out.

I attached the main image and the strips with double sided tape and the stars with 3d foam pads.

For this second card I cut a 6" x 6" square from one of the plain Kraft papers to cover the front of a card base. I cut an aperture from the front of the card of approx 3.25" square using a Nestability die and then stamped with the stars and spots using Archival Coffee before dry brushing with a little Viva Inca Gold metallic paint. I tied some paper cord through three of the chipboard 'banner' buttons and attached them to the card at the top left corner and three buttons to the bottom right.

I cut a 9" x 3" strip from another of the paper designs and made a 3" square concertina. Using the Coffee Archival I stamped some of the clear stamps and some quotes from a Tim Holtz set. I covered the inside back of my card with blue pearlescent card and adhered the concertina to this so that it was centred in the aperture. I mounted the 'star' brad onto a scalloped circle die cut from the blue pearlescent card and placed this and the two die cut flourishes onto the front of the fold out concertina.

I'd like to take this opportunity to wish all our visitors a very happy and peaceful Christmas and all the very best for the New Year. See you all in 2012!

Hugs

Lesley Xx

DT Project 2 Featuring My Minds Eye ....

Hello everyone, I'm back with my 2nd DT project featuring these wonderful goodies from My Minds Eye.

I started out by making a simple Birthday Card. Cover white cardstock with a sheet of Coredinations in black, then simply cut and layer co-ordinating papers of your choice. I used "Admit One" and "Picnic" to create the rosettes. The "Happy Birthday" quote is from Funstamps UK. The embellishments are from the Kraft Fun - "Everyday Fun" Decorative Brads set & "Everyday Fun" Button pack. The kisses stamp is from the "Everyday Fun" Stamps set.

I then covered the front of a size #5 Manilla Tag with more of the "Admit One" paper, distressing the edges with Distress Inks (Walnut Stain). Using various Ideaology pieces, Swivel Clasp, Jump Rings, Philosophy Tag, Baubles to create a Handbag Charm as the birthday gift. The locket is from my own stash, which has decorative brads adhered on the inside and the outside (adhered using Glossy Accents) from the "Everyday Fun" set.

The reverse of the size #5 tag has been stamped with Archival Inks (Jet Black, Coffee & Manganese Blue) using stamps from the "Happy Days" set & "Everyday Fun" set.

Well that's all from me today, I do hope you liked the projects. I will be back at the weekend with another project using this kit. TFL x

(Edited to say that my next project will be on the 19th Dec and not this weekend)
