Swinging Miss Daisy

Hello! Happy 4th to those of you in the U.S.A! I am back to share a tag using an image called, Daisy. It seems that Miss Daisy is a very popular girl as I am the third Mo DT to share a creation using her in a row! It is a perfect summer/spring image!

Here is my tag using this carefree image from Mo's Digital Pencil!

I have used Maja paper and some new Spellbinders dies for the tag shape- Decorative Labels 28. I've added some WOC flowers and a few that I have from LLC. The butterfly is a cut off from a Whimsy Butterfly Border Die. Oh, and the leaf flourishes come from another new to me Spellbinders die- Sprigs! Some Walnut Stain Distress Ink and Viva Pearl Pen finish up the embellishments!

Have a wonderful weekend!

Happy Birthday, Punk!

Hello! I have a super quick and fun birthday card to share using Little Punk from Mo's Digital Pencil. It comes with a cute sentiment of which I have used half.

I love how easy it is to make a handmade card for someone using just a fabulous Mo image and, Voila!,your done! Now there's no excuses not to whip up a last minute card!

For my card I have used To School, so I could make a thank you card to my son's teacher for the wonderful job she has done as all three of my boys' kindergarten teacher. Hopefully, my daughter will be lucky enough to be in her class in a year! Yes, my kids are still in school. I feel like we are the last district to still be going!

The image reminds me of my youngest son as if he is ready and confident to go off to first grade! 

I love the paper! It's Prima's School Memories. It has so many fun elements to cut out and embellish with.

Everything but the button and paper clip are from the paper.  Your next stop is Kaly! Happy hopping!

It's Always Tea Time!

Hello! It's Danielle, here, to share another card I have created using Tea for Three, which you can find at Mo's Digital Pencil for download. I love this set as you can use one girl, two or or all three and even change up their props! So cute!! I decided to make a scene with two of the girls and the tea set.

The sentiment isn't really clear, but it says "It's always tea time". I have used the 6x6 Pad of Marion Smith's Mad Tea Party for the background paper and cut outs. I love all the images in her papers that allow for fussy cutting!
Until next time, have a wonderful weekend!

Baby Fairy Purl

Hello! It's Danielle to share my latest Mo card with you all! I have used one of the newer images called, Baby Fairy Purl. You can find her at Mo's Digital Pencil.
I'm a sucker for babies and fairies, so when I saw this one I just had to have her.

I have used Marion Smith's Garment District 6x6 paper for this card and trim from my stash.

I was inspired by this image to try crocheting again, so I bought a small hook and yarn and made the heart to add to my card. I hope you like my efforst, lol!

Thank you for stopping by and have a great weekend!

For My Tiny Dancer

Hello, ladies! I have a mini book to share. It is really a fancy sticker book for my daughter. She gets a sticker after every dance practice and I thought I would make book to hold them all as she is very proud of them and loves her dance class!

I have used the Tiny Dancer Elements from Mo's Digital Pencil shop. I had a hard time choosing between the six images you get, so I used two! Had I thought before binding the book I would've printed an image on each inside page of the book. Ah well, next time;)

Hope you like it! Have a wonderful weekend!

Naunet

Good afternoon! It's my turn this week to share my card using a fun Mo's Digital Pencil image and today I have colored up the beautiful, Naunet!

I have used an old Prima paper pad, Alla Prima. The flowers are Wild Orchid Crafts as well as the strung pearls. The pearls I bought a while back and didn't know what to do with them until this card. They reminded me of bubbles, which I thought was perfect for my tropical mermaid! I dyed some seam binding with Distress Ink Evergreen Bough. I muted the Yellow Orange flowers with gesso and I think I would've been happier with an extra layer. My Martha Stewart punch around the page for my shell border. I usually like more muted colors but I think the bright colors suit Naunet perfectly! Thanks for stopping by!

Fairy Needle in the Garment District

Hey there Mo fans! Today I would like to share a card I have made using sweet Fairy Needle from Mo's Digital Pencil.

I have used the gorgeous Garment District 6x6 papers by Marion Smith Designs! All her papers are fabulous! I did a whole lot of fussy cutting. Marion's papers are great for that!. Everything I embellished with was from the paper except for the seam binding, sentiment and wooden spool! How great is that! I did use some glitter and Frantage to add some interest, too.

Splash

Hi there! I am sharing a card today using the image called, Splash, by Mo's Digital Pencil.

I have had her for awhile and thought it fitting to get get her on a card while we are in the month of April- April showers. Although, here in Southern California were are going through a drought. Maybe this will be a good luck charm to bring on the rain!

I have used an old MME paper pad: Indie Chic 'Nutmeg'. The flowers are my go to Wild Orchid Craft flowers and the enamel dots are from the Prima Princess Brads package. Another go-to embellie is seam binding which I have dyed with Wild Honey Distress Ink.

Little Walker

Hello! I am back with my Mo's DT card to share! I am suffering from the flu, so it is a bit of a miracle I was able to get it done! I used the adorable Walker from Mo's Digital Pencil. 

Luckily I had this cutie colored up a few days ago, so all I had to do was the card base. I used Maja Vintage Spring papers and various embellies from my stash.

Home Sweet Home

I'm back! Today I would like to share a card I made using the adorable Kansas by Mo's Digital Pencil, inspired by Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz. I have also used one of the Mini Chalkboards 1 sentiment stamp set from Whimsy.

 I have used Maja papers of course and beautiful flowers from Live and Love Crafts that I won a while back. I love the pop of red in this blue card and I had to glitter up her shoes to make them pop even more!

I thought I'd try adding some extra pictures and work on my camera skill, lol!

Extra, Extra!

Hi!! I am here to share a BOY card using Extra from Mo's Digital Pencil! I have such a hard time with boy cards which is terrible since I have three boys!

But a few well placed embellishments make it easier;)

I love using the Tim Holtz Filmstrip Ribbon for masculine cards! It works well with feminine cards, too, I have seen on other cards. The vintage light bulb is another fun embellie to add. I used Tim Holtz' Tattered Florals die to make a flower to match the Prima Printery paper I used and made a newspaper tied with twine from some of the paper's cutouts. My six year old got a kick out of it and had to have one for himself! I used the Magnolia Doohickey die again- can't get enough of it! I cut out and made 'Happy Birthday 2 U' from the papers to put on the tag.  It's a small card so it couldn't fit too much which I think is good for a masculine card. Men/ boys are simple, right?

Bossy Birthday Girl!

Hi! I am back today with a fun birthday card using the adorably bossy, Bossy from Mo's Digital Pencil.
Can anyone relate to a bossy, demanding birthday girl? I wish I could get away with it, lol!

I have used a MME paper Pad called Bramble Rose and some Prima embellishments.

The gorgeous Prima flower already came distressed with white, which is perfect! The 'Beauty" brad on my tag and the coral dots are from the same embellishment pack from the Prima Princess Collection. The crown is also Prima. The smaller flowers are WOC. The ribbon and crochet lace is from my stash. I added some stitching and more gesso to finish it off.  Below I will link the items I have used if you are interested.

Be Mine

Happy Valentine's Day to everyone! In honor of today I have made a card using Full Heart from Mo's Digital Pencil. I had colored her previously using Copics for this card, but for this one I went with Distress Inks. 

I used Maja Designs paper again, yay! Love Maja! I used both sides of Vintage Summer Basics-1924? I think. The year is glued down as I used the bottom strip of the paper on the card above my crochet lace which you can barely see, poo. I used a Cheery Lynn flourish and Wild Orchid Craft flowers which I sponged with Victorian Velvet. 

I stitched around the layers and image and added flat back pearls and pearl trim to frame the image for the Cheerly Lynn challenge. I also used Walnut Stain to distress my edges.

I used a wood heart that I gessoed and glued on some letters from a Prima paper pad for my sentiment.

Distress Inks used:

Skin- Tattered Rose, Vintage Photo, Worn Lipstick

Hair- Antique Linen, Walnut Stain

Dress- Victorian Velvet, Black Soot

Hearts- Fired Brick

Have a Happy Valentine's Day!

I'm Seeing Purple

Good afternoon! I have a card I am tickled purple about! I absolutely love coloring and crafting with purple and to top it off I am using Maja Design papers for the very first time! Can you believe it? I have loved the papers but never got around to making a purchase. I have been making do with what I have had in my hoarder's stash, lol! I have used Spring Basics 8th of April and 10th of April.

You may be wondering who the lovely fairy is and she is the ever curious Teen Fairy Pia anticipating opening her present! You can find her and her just as gorgeous sister Teen Fairy Mia at Mo's Digital Pencil.

I drew a present and colored it with Copics and framed it with a mini frame from my stash. I gessoed the Wild Orchid Craft flowers and added a scalloped envelope and tag made using my Silhouette. I totally forgot I had the pearl hearts from WOC and was so happy to rediscover them that I had to add some to my card.

 Skin- E000, 00, 13, 24, R20, 22

Fairy Sleepy Boy

I have for you all today a mini album with the sweet Fairy Sleepy from Mo's Digital Pencil. as my focal image. This time I have colored it to be more boyish to go along with the album cover I have made using a Quick Quotes album kit that I won a month back!

Previously, I had colored Sleepy Fairy up more girly in this post for a card. 

I had fun playing with the kit and coloring up the image to match. I think this will make a wonderful gift to an expecting mom to mark the milestones of baby's first year. Time flies by and it's always nice to have something pre-made to use. I always thought I would get to it with my kids and now my oldest is 9 and I haven't done a thing and now it's hard to go back and remember all the exact times all four of my kids reached their milestones. So this is something I think is a great gift for a family.

I used my Copics this time and Vintage Photo to distress everything. Everything on this album besides the image and distress ink, came with the kit! So easy and fun!

Thanks for visiting and have a wonderful weekend!

Little Momma

I am so in love with this precious image by Mo Manning. Kady can be found at Mo's Digital Pencil. She is a new stamp and you must get her. Kady is so fun to color and look how sweet she is. I am sure we all know a little girl who is the best little mommy to her dolls. Sometimes I wish I would have another baby just because I know what a sweet little helper my daughter would be, but I let my common sense prevail, haha!

I uses MME's Love Me 6x6 paper pad and some Recollections corrugated cardstock for my layers. I gessoed and used Shabby Pink Frantage on the corrugated cardstock and a bit of gesso around the card. Wild Orchid craft flowers and Decorative Pins were my embellishments. I used Spun Sugar DI to pinkify the Carnations and I cut out a butterfly from some Maja paper, also. The wonderful sketch I used was from The Sketchy Challenges.

I hadn't colored with Distress Inks in a while because I didn't like the yellow, rough paper I had purchased on sale that I was using previously. So, I splurged (with a coupon, lol) on Canson paper. I've never heard of it before but it was the best in Michael's that was still a decent price. It's whiter and much smoother than the Strathmore.

For sweet Kady, I used the following Distress Ink Pads:

Skirt- Victorian Velvet

Sweater and Leggings- Black Soot

Hair-Antique Linen and Walnut Stain

Skin-Tattered Rose, Vintage Photo and Worn Lipstick 

Ground- Frayed Burlap

Background- Weathered Wood and Black Soot
