My Favorite Things - June Outside the Box Challenge: Oceans of Love!

Hello again!

I'm back today to share a project that was inspired by this month's Outside the Box Challenge! This month's challenge is to craft an underwater adventure scene! I pulled out the Shadow Box Die-Namics and a few of my favorite sea-themed stamp sets and got to work!

I tried my best to include the amazing depth that is almost always achieved with any of the Outside the Box Die-Namics! I used the Wavy Lines Stencil (AGAIN!) to create my ocean, ink blending several colors to achieve the differences in the wave colors! I used the Ocean Waves Die-Namics to cut the ink blended panels at the top! I adhered the panels to the bridge die cuts that are included in the Shadow Box Die-Namics and then adhered those to the the assembled Shadow Box card! I stamped the whale, hearts and the schools of fish from the Friends With Fins Stamp Set, and the coral and seaweed from the Best Catch Ever Stamp Set! I blended some Summer Splash Ink around all of the die cuts so that the white borders weren't so stark. I've listed and linked all of the MFT products that I used below!

My Favorite Things - Outside the Box Challenge: The Great Outdoors!

Hello Friends!

I'm back today with another fun project that was inspired by the Outside the Box Challenge! I so love card challenges to get my creative juices flowing, especially when I'm in a creative slump! I LOVED this challenge because I had a ton of ideas for it! But in the end, I executed one of those ideas, and was pretty darned happy with the result! This month's Outside the Box Challenge is "outdoor scenes!" MFT has so many wonderful products that are perfectly suited to that theme! I pulled out my Sunny Vibes Stamp Set (because cute Love Bug Van!), and paired it with the Outside the Box Level Up, Outside the Box Snow Drifts (that I made into sand dunes), and the Outside the Box Waves Die-Namics.

I mean, come on! If this isn't the sunniest outdoor scene you've ever seen, then I'll eat my hat! And I had a blast creating it! I did a bit of masking on the background layer, and ink blended some sun rays and sky using the Sunrise Radiating Rays Stencil and some Lemon Drop, Razzle Berry and Summer Splash Dye Inks! I stamped, colored and die cut the images from the Sunny Vibes Stamp Set, and attached them to the sand dunes. I stamped the sentiment using the new formula of Milk Chocolate Dye Ink! People: I LOVE the new dye inks! They are so delicious! You MUST try them! I've listed and linked all of the MFT products that I used below.

My Favorite Things - December Outside the Box Challenge!

Hello again!

I'm popping in again today with another fun challenge project, this one for the Outside the Box Challenge! I tell ya what - these box cards are addicting and so much fun to create! This month's challenge was to create a box card with a winter scene. I used the Outside the Box - Level Up Die-Namics, and the Outside the Box Snow Drifts to create my wintery scene, and added some holiday penguins and accessories from the Polar Penguins Stamp Set!

I am seriously so in love with creating these box cards. They have some serious dimension which just adds up to an incredible wow factor! And it folds to fit inside an A2 envelope! How cool is that?! Here's a side view of the dimension!

My Favorite Things - A Brand New Challenge: Outside the Box!

 Hello friends!

I'm so excited to be sharing a project that I've created for the brand spankin' new Outside the Box Challenge! This challenge has been added to the amazing family of MFT Challenges, and I can tell you it will be a fun one! This month the theme is "anything goes", but future Outside the Box Challenges will have a theme, so get ready for some fun inspiration for using the Outside the Box Die-Namics!

I wanted to use the Little Town of Bethlehem Die-Namics to create a beautiful holiday scene inside my box. So, I die cut three of the four dies from the Little Town of Bethlehem Die-Namics borders from Grout Gray card stock and layered them inside the box by adhering each piece to a shelf piece from the Outside the Box Die-Namics - that way, each piece had tabs to adhere to the inside of the box. I used the Starry Night - Horizontal Die-Namics to die cut the back layer piece from After Midnight card stock. I die cut the star from the Little Town of Bethlehem Die-Namics from Silver Sparkle card stock. The sentiment is from the Snow Globe Sentiments Stamp Set, and I stamped it onto After Midnight card stock using embossing ink, heat embossed it with silver embossing powder, and die cut it using the Stitched Sentiment Strips Die-Namics. I inked up the English Brick Wall Stencil on the smaller box layer pieces using Grout Gray Dye Ink, and adhered them to the outside of the box. I've listed and linked all of the MFT products that I used below.

Please click on through to the MFT Design Blog to be linked to the other fabulous creations that my fellow teammates have designed for your inspiration! And while you're there, why not link up a design of your own using the Outside the Box Die-Namics for your chance to win a $50 Gift Voucher to the MFT Online Boutique! It's a random draw, but you can't win if you don't play!

That'll do it for me today, my friends! I'll be back in a few days with more crafty stuff. Until then, thanks for stopping by and have a great day!
