MHKDesigns: So Grateful


Hi, friends! I hope your November treated you well! Mine started out a bit rough, but it got better! I am back today to share about my month and a digital mixed media, triple time stamped card and I made using products from the MHKDesigns Etsy shop. Take a peek...


I am extra grateful for a lot of things in my life today. I had to undergo emergency surgery at the end of October and the recovery took up about half of November. I am so grateful to everyone who helped me during that time, so I thought I'd share a card with a thankful theme! :) This card uses a sentiment from the Thankful Thoughts digital stamp set and images from the I've Been Framed, Chicken In, and Fabulously Fall digital stamp sets.


I printed the panel I created in Photoshop three times so that I could die cut them to create a triple time stamped focal panel. A few pearls and paper leaves finished this off. I LOVE the way it turned out! What do you think? I would love to hear your thoughts in the comments below!


That's all I have for you today, friends! Thank you so much for stopping by! I always love to hear from you, so please do let me know your thoughts in the comments below! Don't forget to head over to the MHKDesigns blog for more inspiration and join in our *NEW* challenge tomorrow for your chance at winning some digital goodies from the MHKDesigns Etsy Shop! Until next time, HUGS and happy {digital} stamping, friends!

MHKDesigns: November Challenge


Hi, friends! I'm here to share some cards I made using the inspiration from this month's challenge at MHKDesigns! It's November, so that means it's the last challenge of the year so that our team can have a holiday break! I do hope you'll come and play along! Take a peek at this month's inspiration...


I am in love with the sweet vintage images in this inspiration AND the holly theme! I decided to make another card trio using the same layout in different color schemes. Here is the set...


I colored this image digitally in Photoshop. The original color scheme was a cheery traditional bright red and green like in the photo inspiration! I used the Deck the Halls set and paper from the Stars & Stripes paper pack for this CAS offering...


Next up I softened the colors and used papers from the Simply Seasonal paper pack. I just love that you can use so many different papers with the same layout to get a completely new feel!


Last but not least, I went for a nontraditional pink and green! I love the vintage feel of this card--I used distressed papers from the Fully Feathered paper pack for this one!


A sprinkling of rhinestones and black matting finished off this set! I think they will mail easily and pack a festive BANG when opened! What do you think? I would love to hear your thoughts in the comments below!


Thanks for stopping by, friends! Come join in the fun on the MHKDesigns blog for your chance to win some digi goodies from the MHKDesigns Etsy Shop! Until next time, HUGS and happy {digital} stamping, friends!
