My Card

DETAILS:  All card stock used is Neenah Solar White 80# and 110#.  Image was fussy cut using my Silhouette Portrait.  The clouds were created in Paint Shop Pro and then exported to my Silhouette to cut them out.  The tiny hearts were made using a die and then I colored them with a Wink of Stella Brush in Hot Pink.  All the clouds got a coat of clear glitter using a Wink of Stella Brush.  The colored background and sentiment was done using Paint Shop Pro and printed out.  The image and clouds were attached to the card with 3-D Foam Squares for dimension.  Then I added just a little more glitter to the image using Stickles in the color yellow.  If you click on the photo you will get a larger view to see the card in more detail.  I added a little more dimension to Honey and Boo’s noses using a Glaze Gel Pen in black and Pink.

Card Recipe:  You probably know me by now that my favorite go to paper is Neenah.  And that is the card stock I used for the card, card base, printed card stock and sentiment.  The printed card stock came from the Gingerbread Digi Paper Pack.  For the first time I experimented with Distress Crackle Paint (clear rock candy) on the red and white gingham background paper.  Then I used Distress Ink (frayed burlap) to fill in the cracks.  I also used frayed burlap on the diagonal stripe scallop borders, the edge of the sentiment label and on the ribbon.  The button is from my stash and I covered it with Fran-tage using Aged Scarlet and Red Tinsel Embossing powders.  Sprinkled some red, green, and cream sequins by Kelly Purkey.  And just a small amount of glitter on the red line and candy canes on the label using the Wink of Stella clear glitter brush.

I would love it if you stopped by the M5D Design Team Blog and check out all the other amazing projects.  Thank you!

Elegant Ornaments

 

Check out these gorgeous digital images.  The digital set is called Elegant Ornaments.  And you can purchase it at the McMahon Five Designs Online Store.

 

Elegant Ornaments (colored)

My Project

Details:  Neenah cardstock as the base of my card and colored it using three shades of Distress Ink (Tumbled Glass, Faded Jeans, and Broken China).  Dark blue card stock from my stash and cut using Spellbinders Label – LF-161 (Grand Nestabilities).  I chose the blue ornament for my card.  Although you cannot tell I cut the ornament out using my Silhouette and adhered to the card base. I used a Clear Glitter Wink of Stella brush on the entire ornament.  I also added stickles (Ice Blue) to the ornament.  In addition to the stickles on the ornament I placed stickle dots (Mercury Glass) on the blue card stock. The sentiment was also cut using my Silhouette and framed it with Ice Blue Stickles.  The white dots on the base of the card represents snow made from Snow-Tex Glistening Snow.  I used a template called Falling Snow to place the snow dots on the card.  I wish you could see the card in person because all the glitter really looks so much better than my photo. Its so hard to capture glitter with my digital camera.  But if you click on the photo you will get a larger image and you may be able to see everything better.

If you get a chance I would love if you stopped by the M5D Blog to see more beautiful creations made by the Design team.

 

Thank you for stopping and have a wonderful day.

Christmas Angel

 

One of today’s release for McMahon Five Designs is a Christmas Angel.  It just took me a matter of a few seconds to decide how I wanted to use this beautiful Angel.  Since the main focus is the Angel what better way to show her off then to make an Angel card.  And to make things easy for me I used the colored image from this digital package from Imagine That! Digis by Kris.

My Card

(click on photo to get a closer view)

Details:  The card base is made from Neenah card stock called Classic Solar White 80#.  I used the Print and Cut feature on my Silhouette to cut out the Angel (front of card) and the back of the card.  I used dazzling diamonds glitter on her wings.  The red trim, ornaments, hair, lips and fingernails were coated with a clear glitter using a Wink of Stella Brush.  The card measures 5”tall and 5” at its widest point. 

Thank you so much for stopping by and I hope I have inspired you in some way.  Please stop by the M5D Blog to see more creations by the M5D Design Team.
