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!

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!
