MHKDesigns April Inspiration

Happy Friday!

Today it's my turn to share a little inspiration

using this month's New Release Set from

MHKDesigns!

Caring Crocus

I used a classic black and white color scheme

for my card and love the way it turned out.

I started with a 6.5 x 5 inch white card base.
I chose 2 coordinating  designer papers.
One of the papers was cut to 6 x 4.5 inches
and matted with a 6.25 x 4.75 inch piece of black card stock.
The other designer paper was cut to a smaller rectangular shape and matted.

The image was printed and die cut in a circle shape.


I adhered a black paper doily to the card and added the die cut image.
I printed one of the sentiments from the set and die cut.
This die cut was popped with foam tape.
A black satin ribbon was added to complete.

I hope I've provided you just a little bit of inspiration today!

Blessed Lily

Once again, this is a great set that is appropriate for many occasions.

I created a simple Easter card with clean lines.

I colored the lily with SN markers and fussy cut.

The background white pearl paper was dry embossed.

I printed the sentient and die cut.

The finishing touches are a bow and some glittered sticker dots.

MHKDesigns Valentine Roses

Hello all!

Today is my day to share a little designer inspiration on the

MHKDesigns Blog

using this month's New Release Set

"Valentine Roses".

This is a beautiful set that, like most of the products

available in the  MHKDesings Etsy Shop,

can be used for a multitude of occasions.

My card is a simple design but, I think, effective.

I colored the image with alcohol markers and fussy cut.

The sentiment was printed on the white card stock

before I did the embossing. This way I could have it
placed right where I wanted it! I then matted the

panel with the sentiment and embossing with black card stock.

To finish, I popped the fussy cut image with foam tape on the matted panel.

I hope I've provided you just a little bit of inspiration today!

MHKDesigns January Release

Hi there!

It's my day to share a project I created with 

this month's New Release Set from

Framed Favorites 

I created a card using one of the images and sentiments, 2 different

patterned papers and a couple of enamel dots.

I colored the image with pencils and cut with a circle die.

 I framed the die cut with a scalloped circle die cut.

The circles were adhered to the patterned paper background.

The sentiment was printed and hand cut into a banner shape.

I finished with the enamel dots.

Hello!

Today's my day to share some inspiration on the

MHKDesigns Blog!

Since it's December and we're into the holiday mode

I created a gift bag using one of my favorite

MHKDesigns sets.

Simply Santa

I love this vintage Santa image and it dresses

up a plain white gift bag perfectly for gift giving.

The tag was created using one of the greetings from the set.

I colored the image with pencils, fussy cut

and adhered with foam tape to a rectangular mat

of designer paper and solid card stock.

Coordinating designer paper was used behind the mat.

I hope I've inspired you 

to create something for the holiday season!

Until next time,

I wish you and yours Happy Holidays and Happy New Year!

Hello there!

I'm here today to share some inspiration for

MHKDesigns!

I created a Thank You card.

This was a pretty quick and easy project.

I used the floral image from

Fabulous Flowers

and the sentiment is from

Thankful Thoughts.

I started with a kraft card base.

The image was colored with pencils.

I matted the image with ivory card stock.

A doily was place behind the image.

I printed the sentiment and matted.

I hope I've inspired you just a little

and that you'll check out all the

fabulous products MHKDesigns has to offer!

Until next time 

Happy Crafting!

MHKDesigner Inspiration

Hello!

It's my day to share a little inspiration at

MHKDesigns!

This month all of the designers are celebrating

"Christmas in July".

So let's get those Christmas projects started

if you haven't already because the holidays

will be here before you know it!

I created a card using

Season's Greetings.

This is just one of many great Christmas/Holiday themed sets at

MHKDesigns.

I started by printing the image twice. 

One was colored with markers and fussy cut.

Next I fussy cut the 2nd image and cut apart

the colored image. I adhered the colored image to the uncolored one

 to give a little dimension with some foam tape.

I chose a background paper, cut into a panel and double matted

with solid card stock and adhered to card base.

I added a die cut circle to back the image.

The sentiment was printed, cut, matted

and placed near the bottom of the card.

I added some pearls to finish.

I hope I've provided just a little motivation you need to get

started on your holiday cards!

Until next time

Happy Crafting!

MHKDesigns My Inspiration

Hello everyone!

Today I am sharing a little inspiration at

MHKDesigns!

I created a set of tags using one of the newer sets

Sea Creatures.

I cut some tag shapes out of cream colored card stock

and covered with a DP  from the Paper Studio.

 I had some paint chip samples laying around

and repurposed them on the tags as the background

to the images that were colored with pencils and fussy cut.

The sentiments are from

Eat Your Cake.

I added some mesh, buttons and ribbon.

It's so easy to create great projects with these products.

Until next time,

Happy Crafting!

MHKDesigner Inspiration for April

Hello there! 

It's my day to share a little inspiration at

MHKDesigns.

A few months back I created a note card set using

Blossoming.

So for my project this month I

decided to expand on that set

creating coordinating post it note book,

a tag

 and a gift bag.

I added the note card set from before in the photo below. 

I thought this set would be nice for gift giving 

for Mother's Day, Birthday, Thank You or Just Because!

I hope you'll check this stamp set out at

MHKDesigns

along with all the other products available there!

Until next time,

Happy Crafting!

November inspiration at MHKDesigns

Hi there!

Today's my day to share my inspiration post at

MHKDesigns!

I've been working on making items to sell

at craft shows and decided to do some

quick and easy gift card holders

using the Deck the Halls  Stamp Set

&

Christmas Past Paper Set

I started by printing the stocking image 4 times,

colored with pencils and fussy cut.

Then I added some stickles for a little sparkle!

Cut a 3 1/2 x 8 1/2 inch piece of solid

card stock and a 2/1/4 & 3 1/4 inch piece of 

printed paper for each holder.

Take one piece of 3 /12 x 8 1/2 inch paper and score

2 inches from one end and 2 1/2 inches from the other.

Attach the printed papers to each end.

Glue the 2 1/2 inch scored end on each end 

to form the pocket to place the gift card in.

Decorate the outside as desired.

I die cut some ovals to pop my fussy cut stockings on and

glued to the top flap ( 2 1/2 inch end).

As the last step glue velcro to the inside of the top

flap and top of the bottom piece.

And, there you have it!

Quick and easy!

Until next time,

Happy Crafting!
