Crafted Bliss Studio

Hello!  Welcome to my blog on this chilly Monday!

Today I am sharing a fun Christmas card that I made for the MFT Sketch Challenge.

This card features MFT Happy Pawlidays stamps. This set has the cutest furry babies all ready for the Christmas season.

I started with a white card base and inked it with some Distress Oxide Inks in Twisted Citron and Cracked Pistachio.

I die cut my speech bubble with MFT Stitched Speech Bubble Edges (retired) and stamped my Christmas bulbs and and sentiment. To make a sting of lights I hand drew the cord with my black pen. I colored the lights with Copic markers, added some shimmer with some Clear Wink of Stella, and covered the bulbs with Glossy accents. 

I colored this cute little dog from this same stamp set with Comic markers and added Glossy Accents to his little nose. He is popped up with some foam tape. 

To finish off my card I added a few clear sequins.

Here is the sketch for this challenge:

I really enjoy playing along with the challenge and with MFT stamps!

I hope you enjoyed my card for today!

Hi There! I am back to share a card I made for the My Favorite Things Sketch Challenge.

I am getting this in under the wire! (I will update this with a better picture. (
It is very cloudy today!)


(This picture is much better!)

It's my first time playing along and I had so much fun.

For my card I used My Favorite Things Beary Special Birthday stamps. I have had this set for quite a while and I am thrilled that I could play with them!

I colored my images with Copic markers.

For my background I used Distress Oxide Inks to go along with the colors I used for my bear and cake. For texture I pulled out an old embossing folder that I have had for ages. I love the effect it gave this card. For some sparkle I added some Clear Wink of Stella to the gifts and frosting on the cake, and a few random sequins.

Here is the sketch I followed:

Happy Columbus Day! I hope you all had a nice weekend.

Did you get to create anything for World Cardmaking Day?

I was able to get one card done and I absolutely love the way it turned out!

I used my time to play along with the Craftin Desert Divas October Social Media Challenge.

Here is the inspiration:

I think I was most inspired by the colors and the autumn elements.

I started with the cute scarecrow from Craftin Desert Divas Harvest Happiness stamps. I love this scarecrow and just had to color him up with my Copic markers.

I created a window for my background scene use a circle die from my stash. For the background I used CDD Fall Border Dies and I watercolored the trees with Zig Clean Color Real Brush pens. The grass and the sky were created with some Distress Oxide Inks. 

For my sentiment I used CDD Flag Banner Dies. I heat embossed the sentiment from the Harvest Happiness set and added another label under it. I had the card pretty much completed but it seemed to lacking something and them is when I decided to add a bit of white spatter on the front. I did that with a little white acrylic paint mixed with a little water. It was just what the card needed!

I have a little more to share with you this week so please come back!

Keep crafting!
