MFP Stamp Shop Blog Hop.

Easy Leaf Card Background
 By Sandy Hentzel

Item needed:
Watercolor Paper
Flower Punch
Watercolor medium:
(I used Distress Markers)
Water
Water Brush/ Paint Brush
Fine Tip pen
Adhesive
(heat gun optional)

Step 1: 
Using your markers, scribble color randomly all over the watercolor paper. 
The messier, the better.

Step 2:
Blend all the colors together with water and your water brush. 
This will look like a hot mess but once it is dried, it will look great!
(air dry before continuing or use your heat gun to dry faster)

Step 3:
With your flower punch, you want to punch out as many flowers as you think you will need. 
I always punch a little extra to save for a later project.
(any flower punch can be used)

Step 4 and 5:
Cut the flowers into individual petals 
and start to line the veins of the leaves with your fine point pen.

Step 6:
Glue down all your leaves on your card stock. 
I normally don't use glue sticks, but for this technique;
I want to make sure all the leaves are covered with glue.
(so go raid your kiddos' art boxes!)

Step 7:
Start to decorate your card. For this card, I did a border with the cardstock and border punch. Then using fine detail embossing powder, I stamped and embossed my sentiment.

Extra Tip: 
The embossing powder I have is fine detail for little letters but it is soooo white and this card is Fall colors. So I used my TH Distress Marker in Vintage Photo, and I colored over the letters to get a more cream color vs the bright white.

Finished Card:
Lastly, using the same markers, I applied the ink to the leaf stamp and fussy cut the leaf. I used TH Tea Dye ink and distressed the leaf so it wasn't so white.  As you can see below, this is my favorite Fall stamp set by MFP Stamp Shop.

Up next is Sue!
Here's the Design Team if you want to follow in order.

Building Block Graduation Card

By
Hello, everyone! Melissa here on to share a "building block" style card with you. I made this one graduation themed, since there are a ton of graduations going on right now. Hope you enjoy this card, and are inspired to try it out yourself. Here is the tutorial I followed from Split Coast Stampers. To make it easier, I will give you all the measurements, here. It looks harder than it is, I promise. Start with a piece of cardstock in your desired color that is 5.5 x 10.5. Put the 10.5 inch side along the top of your score board or paper trimmer, and score at 3.5 inches and 7 inches. Fold the first score line in a mountain fold, and the second in a valley fold. You should end up with a "z" fold card. The next part can get a bit tricky, so make sure you watch the video to fully understand what I am about to explain. On the back side of the "valley" fold, take a ruler and pencil and mark these measurements: 3/8 1 3/8 1 5/8 2 5/8 2 7/8 3 7/8 ...
