MHKDesigns Inspiration post

Happy Christmas week Monday!!  I'm here to share a little MHKDesigns inspiration with you all...well, I'm here to share a sneak peek and then send you over to the MHKDesigns Blog...

There it is...your sneak!  I can tell you it is not a Christmas card but something we all need occasionally.  I hope you'll head on over the the MHKDesigns blog to check it out!

I did use a sketch from Paper Play Sketches (I hope the PPS design team will hop on over to the blog to check out the full card!).

Day 5 MHKDesigns New Release - The Write Stuff

And here we are...our last day of the release.  I hope you've had a wonderful week checking out all the designers amazing projects!  Now...onto the new set The Write Stuff:

 I can see SO many uses for this set...I love that old phone and typewriter...fun!

I think this image and sentiment are perfect together to send to my elder relatives so I made up a card to throw in the mail in January when everyone is ready for some fun mail!  Again, this is just paper I had in my stash, a few enamel dots and it is ready to put in the mail.

Now make sure you hop on over to the MHKDesigns blog for a chance to win not only this gorgeous digital stamp set but all of the sets we'll be releasing this week!  Don't forget that we also have a challenge going on as well...check that out HERE!

Day 4 MHKDesigns New Release - Fanciful Feathers

Here we are on day four of our new release and today is Fanciful Feathers.

 What a fun set this one is, huh?  The feathers are so gorgeous and so many uses for this set and the sentiments.  I went with a little bag for treats:

I've had these bags hanging around my croffice forever so I pulled one out to make this card.  The sentiment is recolored from the set and the paper is actually a pad of Christmas paper but I think it is perfect for a warm little gift for a friend.  A little big of vanilla/gold twine, some enamel dots and it is ready for giving!

Now make sure you hop on over to the MHKDesigns blog for a chance to win not only this gorgeous digital stamp set but all of the sets we'll be releasing this week!  Don't forget that we also have a challenge going on as well...check that out HERE!

Day 3 MHKDesigns New Release - Stitched Tea Party

Woohoo...here we are at day 3 of our new release!  Today's new set is Stitched Tea Party:

I just love how sweet this set is and the sentiments are so fun!  Once again I decided to make a Christmas card with this set.  I started with some kraft paper and embossed it with an embossing folder.  I used my COPIC markers to color in just the poinsettia flowers.  The merry sentiment is a die that I have and then I used some seam binding for the bow.

Now make sure you hop on over to the MHKDesigns blog for a chance to win not only this gorgeous digital stamp set but all of the sets we'll be releasing this week!  Don't forget that we also have a challenge going on as well...check that out HERE!

Day 2 MHKDesigns New Release - Realistic Roses

Welcome back to day 2 of our new release week!  Today's new release is Realistic Roses!

 Ummm...seriously...is this just gorgeous!  I absolutely LOVE this set!  

I have seen some gorgeous red roses at Christmas time and these roses reminded me of them so I decided to go with a Christmas card for this release project.  The Merry Christmas sentiment is from the Perfect Poinsettia set.  I also LOVE this card made with this fabulous set!

Day 1 MHKDesigns New Release - Pretty Petunias

Good morning and welcome to post 1 of 2 today.  I'm excited to share with you about our first December new release over at MHKDesigns.  Check out the card I made with Pretty Petunias:

 First, here is the lovely full digital stamp set.  Isn't it gorgeous with such wonderful sentiments?

For my card sample I used one of the sentiments and paired it with some pretty, patterned papers that I've had in my stash for awhile.  The white paper for the base is actually shimmery paper.  I've added some pearls for a bit of a more vintage feel.

Friendships...

Hello and welcome to the new MHKDesigns monthly challenge! Please note this will be our last challenge for this year.

We are going to keep it super simple this month with a photo/color inspiration.  You choose what you're inspired by!  My card has MHKDesigns products but you are still welcome to enter!

So here is this month's inspiration photo that you can follow if you decide not to use an MHKDesigns product:

This month I was inspired by the tea cup in the photo and just decided to make a super pretty card using non-traditional colors for this time of year.  I've used the set Stitched Tea Party and some papers I have in my stash here at home.  I printed the flower part a second time and added that to the top corner.  Finally a couple of pieces of bling to finish it off. 

Head on over to the MHKDesigns blog to see all of the rules for our challenge and check out what all of the team members made!

 So...here is the great thing about MHKDesigns challenges...if you use an MHKDesigns image you can enter anything you make with it without having the follow the gorgeous prompt below.  Obviously my card did not work out to go with the prompt (even though I really did try!) but I gotta tell ya...I LOVE it!  It is a fun, kinda retro tree with a clean and simple layout.  The image and sentiment are from the Deck The Halls digi set and the papers from the Simply Seasonal paper set.

MHKDesigns New Release Day #5 - Last Day :(

Ack, it is the last day for the new release!  What a fun set to end our releases with though...check it out!

Don't ya just love this fun New Year's set?!?!  And our design team hit it out of the park with the fun creations with this set too so you MUST go take a look at what they've done!  This set is aptly named, New Years Greetings.  For my sample today I've made a candy holder perfect for those New Years parties that you'll be going to this year!  (True confession time here...I've never been to a New Years party...I've only ever just celebrated with my family!)  Just adding a bit of ribbon, gold/silver on the hat, and a few pieces of bling really makes this a fun little thank you gift for your host!

MHKDesigns New Relase Day #4

Hello!  And here we are back for day #4 of the October new releases!  Once again, I'm excited to share what I made with you so lets get it going!

Oh my goodness...isn't this set just lovely? It is called Perfect Poinsettia and can be used for so many wonderful projects this Christmas!  Each year one of our local schools sells beautiful poinsettia's as a fund raiser and I always buy three from the first person that asks me.  I keep one for myself and give the other two away.  This tag is going to go on one of the plants that I give away.  For this tag I ran some patterned paper through my printer and then fussy cut it out to make this poinsettia look perfect, I added the perfect sentiment on a banner, used yellow pearls on the inside of the flower, and a little bit of bling to bring it all together.  This was a fun tag to make!

Okay, make sure you head on over to the MHKDesigns blog to check out what the other design team members made and make sure you comment as much as you can on all the blogs for a chance to win the new sets!

MHKDesigns New Release Day #3

Here we are one day #3 of the MHKDesigns new release!  I really love today's set (well, the next three days honestly!) and the card I've made as a sample today!  Ready?

Oh yes! Now we are getting into some fun holiday releases!  I simply adore this wreath and the wonderful things you can make with the set, Wonderful Wreath, and the papers that I've used with it called Deck The Halls!  The wreath is just so beautiful and I love that the bow on the wreath isn't perfectly tied...that would SO be me!

MHKDesigns Challenge Time!

Good morning friends and welcome back to the MHKDesigns challenge day!  I'm excited to have you here for this September challenge.  Here is our challenge prompt for this month:

 So, so gorgeous, right?

 I absolutely love the colors for this challenge and when I saw this Mum's The Word  set and Fabulously Fall digi papers I knew I had to put them together!  A lot of times when I'm going to color a flower or a particular 'something' I'll Google it to find a color palette I like and that will work for my card.  I Googled mum and the first photo I saw was a mum with a gorgeous red inner and yellow outer bloom...I loved it so I decided to try and replicate it.  I really feel like this came out just wonderful and I can't wait to send it out to the recipient!

Now I know you want to play along so hop on over to the MHKDesigns challenge post to find out all the information.  I hope to see you there!
