mini valentine pockets & tags.

.[mini Valentine pockets & tags].

As I was wasting too much time on Pinterest yesterday, I so a pin that inspired me to make these mini pockets & tags. It was french bread in a translucent bag-so I grabbed my new MFT's treat pocket die and some vellum. It's not like I haven't seen little projects done like this before, but it was something about that pin that inspired me to do it. And now I think I need to buy a pillow box die-I really want to make little pillow boxes made from vellum. Don't you just love the way you can see a hint of what inside?!

MFT Guest-Christmas cards.

.[MFT Christmas cards].

Today-I have these Christmas cards on the MFT's Blog. Once I started making one Christmas card I really got into the holiday cheer and made quite a few! It was nice playing with the chalkboard look-I thought I didn't have the right stuff on-hand...so I used white embossing powder and some really old Pebbles chalking set-viola! I was so happy that I didn't need to buy stuff to do the chalkboard look!

halloween signs.

.[halloween signs].

Hello, Happy Monday...

This weekend I was able to make something! This is a play off a Valentine love signs I did last year, I thought I would do a Halloween version(and soon a Christmas one). The signs are double-sided with a different version on each side. It has a modern clean look, I really want to make a few more! I also made the skull/butterfly banner last week.

Hello Keisha, I love your card making style and the way you show them on your blog. Had to choose one of them as the inpiration card over at the liftchallenge blog. If you like to see our cards based on your card, please visit liftchallenge.blogspot.com. Have a nice day and keep inspiring us, thanks a lot for sharing your beautiful creations!

Thank you Nadine! I took a look at the blog to see what you all created-they were wonderful!! I am so glad you all lifted one of my most favorite cards.

Liz H said:

I love these, Keisha! That's a good idea, too. My husband always asks me at the last possible to minute to make cards for him, but they're not even half as good as these! I especially love the gold butterflies and feathers. How did you make them?!?

Reply | Edit | View | 4 days ago on whatever cards.

Hey Liz...thanks!!! Those butterflies were made using Stampin Up 'beautiful wings' die(tiny butterflies), 'beautiful butterflies' die(larger butterflies), Memory Bx 'moonlight' butterfly. And the fethers are My Favorite Things.

whatever cards.

.[whatever cards].

This week I made some cards that can be used for whatever the situation might call for-to have on-hand. I can add whatever sentiment to them when needed. I like have extra cards around just in case I need it-sometimes my pre-made bday card might be too colorful...or I might have used all my 'thank you' cards. It's good to have a few cards that don't have a specific sentiment already on them stashed away!

I used TCD's Memorabilia paper line for these cards.

fun cards.

.[fun cards].

I made a few cards this morning with the new TCD's Family Stories line. I just love the pattern papers and the sequins-it's good that I have more choices with the sequins! The first card has a few white sequins scattered on the embossed dots.

Wow...I love this color combo!!! I would love to know how you did the cut-out hexagons in the background...also what brand is the yellow patterned paper? I have been looking for some pretty yellow paper but haven't found anything I like yet. Beautiful cards!!!

Hi Mary...Thanks!! That paper I am not sure who makes it, it was some scrap I had leftover-sorry. The hexagons were made with MFT's die...

I have been MIA(sorry) spending time with my family-lots of couch time with LaVaughn. We went through 2 seasons of The Killing and the first season of House of Cards on Netflix.

Today I went into my studio and made two cards with new TCD's Masquerade and Memorabilia lines...I LOVE the skeleton stamp,I was a bit heavy on the inking-oops!

pink paislee guest designer.

.[pink paislee guest].

Yesterday these projects were featured on the Pink Paislee blog! It was so nice to do a guest spot for them and it was very cool to have a chance to play with their new lines-Luxe & Cottage Farms. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the Luxe papers-I LOVE them. Graphic patterns of black/white and metallics-perfection! It was killing me waiting for my guest spot to post, because I wanted to keep using the Luxe papers for everything. Now I can use what bits I have left- freely!
