Thank You Mynn Blog Hop

It's the first of the month which would usually mean 

it's time for a new challenge at

MHKDesigns and also a new set release.

But sadly, Mynn, the very talented owner of

MHKDesigns and card creating genius,

has made the very tough decision to close the blog

in order to focus on what's important to her, her life as a teacher.

The news came as quite a shock to me and the other DT members,

but it's a decision we totally support.

And because most of us already had our cards created for today,

we've decided to do a Blog Hop to say thank you to Mynn

for all she's done for us. 

Mynn was the first to ever leave a comment

on my blog when I started it in 2013

and enter my very first challenge.

Then I noticed at the end of that year

that there was a Design Team call for 

House of Cards Challenge Blog and I applied.

Mynn invited me to join the team and I did!

She gave me a chance, and I have always been, and

always will be inspired by her. and when she started MHKDesigns

I was thrilled and flattered that she invited me to be part of her DT.

Mynn is truly one of the most

talented, kind, caring, organized and, just overall, inspiring people 

I have ever been acquainted with.

So Thank You Mynn for all you do and have done!

The kids you teach are so lucky to have you

as is anyone that knows and have had the pleasure of working with you!

I hope you'll visit the other DT's blogs,

see their beautiful creations with this MHKDesigns set,

Majestic Medallion,

and read what Mynn has meant to them.

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!

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!

MHKDesigner Inspiration

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!

MHKDesigns November Inspiration

Good morning everyone!

Today is my day to share some inspiration at

MHKDesigns!

With the holidays quickly approaching 

I decided to make a set of holiday cards.

I used "Deck the Halls" for the tree image

and the sentiment is from "Santa's Sleigh".

I colored the image with metallic pencils, gel pens and stickles.

My paper is from Recollections.

The sentiment was cut with a Taylored Expressions label die.

Check out these sets and all the others available at

MHKDesigns

MHKDesigns Inspiration

Hey there!

I'm on the 

MHKDesigns Blog

sharing a little inspiration today.

I love the set

"The Write Stuff"

and thought some of the images n the set

would work great for a set of

easel desk calendar/sticky note holders.

These easel style projects are easy and quick to construct.

Each one takes an 8.5 x 11 inch piece of yardstick

and a couple pieces of coordinating DP.

I printed the images and die cut.

You adhere a mini calendar and 3x3 inch note pad.

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!

MHKDesigns!

If you would like to join us, we provide an inspiration photo

to use for your creations or if you use at least 1 MHKDesigns product

Here's the photo.

I focused on the teapot in the photo

 as my inspiration for my DT card.

The image and sentiment I used is from

Stitched Tea Party.

I colored the image with Spectrum Noir markers.

The sentiment was printed and die cut.

The papers are from Recollections.

We'd love to have you join us!
