Our kits this month were just brimming with goodies, so I had lots left over to make an extra layout using a photo of my DD and her friends at the zoo.

I used the gesso and the stencil to create this design on the paper. I then rubbed it with inks and stickles. It is a very similar design to one of the transparencies I used.

Products used:

My Mind's Eye Lost and Found 2 paper collection

My Mind's Eye Lost and Found 2 embellishments

Prima brown flower ribbon

Stickles - copper

Crafters Workplace stencil

Gesso

Misc. lace and transparencies and inks

This week I made a card and a little matching box with my gorgeous Lost & Found Two paper collection from My Mind's Eyes. They were PERFECT for this project!!

If you like my little box, you can pick up the template (it's in a pdf format) right HERE.

The papers made this set so chic!!

And if you are going to use your left overs, like I did, why not add on the inside? There's nothing to it and it adds to the card!

And the back too!! Why not?

Supplies:

My Mind's Eye Lost & Found Two collection (Rosy)

I went around and around in my head with this one. I just could not get past the grid thing. So, that is what I did with this one. I figured it was my brain trying to tell me something.

Supplies:

My Mind's Eye Lost & Found Two Collection (Breeze)

Distress Ink (Walnut Stain)

I played around with the design a bit and leveraged a chipboard package as a sort of mask for this layout to mimic the colourful design of the inspiration piece:

Design Team Monday!

The Design Team is back for another reveal using the gorgeous new Lost & Found Two collections from My Mind's Eye!

Stamping is our technique for this month!! There is so much you can do with stamps and there are so many incredible stamps out there.

A lot of people associate stamps with cardmaking but we are here to show you that you can add the perfect touches to your layouts with them as well!

I used Plum Cat's Eye Chalk ink with my Stamp (My Mind's Eye - Lost & Found Two Collection) and I used it repetitively to create more texture and a bit of a frame for the vertical papers (see the word «BEAUTIFUL» here and there on the layout). It's a simple technique that can be quite efficient. You could create an entire frame on the background this way or even around your photo(s).

You can use any colour too. The colour you choose will either make it stand out or be more subtle on your layout.

Papers: My Mind's Eye - Lost & Found Two Collection (Blush)

Inks: Plum Cat's Eye chalk ink and brown and white pens for the hand written text.

Ornaments: Glitter Chipboards, brads, buttons, paper banners and lace ribbon as well as a beautiful frame transparency (over the photo), are ALL from My Mind's Eye - Lost & Found Two Collection, including the stamp!

The first technique I used was stamping then heat embossing on a button. You have to be careful when stamping because it is very easy to slide on a button.

Tip: When heat embossing, make sure you put a heat resistant tray or trivet down under your button. I learned that the hard way and have the scorch marks in my carpet to prove it. 
 

The second technique is combining stamping & die-cutting. I stamped this banner image then die cut it out.

 
For the third technique I stamped the heart image and then covered it in Glossy Accents.

Supplies:

My Mind's Eye Lost & Found Two Collection (Breeze)

Fancy Pants Filter Flower Embellishments
Glossy Accents
Seafoam White Embossing Powder
MFT Die-namics
Circle & Scalloped Circle Punches

Here is my take:


I used the My Minds Eye, Lost and Found 2 Rosy stamps and also Studio Calico letter stamps. I am NOT a stamper - it scares me! So for this challenge I stamped on white cardstock then trimmed out the shapes and incorporated into my layout:

You read it right - we're having another baby!

Supplies here are all My Minds Eye Lost and Found 2 Rosy with the exception of the ribbon which was leftover from a gift and the kraft which was a re-used paper bag.
