Creative Construction with Blueprints - Wonky Panels

Welcome to the March Creative Construction with Blueprints Challenge. The MFT design team's task is two-fold: 1) follow one of the Die-namics Blueprints sketches exactly and 2) do a little free-styling by mixing and matching elements from any of the specified Blueprints sets. This month's sets include Blueprints  15 and 18.

My first card features the new Totally Happy stamp set along with elements of both Blueprints 15 & 18.

Card number two features the adorable I Knead You, Circle Grid Stencil and an exact Blueprints 18 sketch. Sweet, simple and I meow-meow it!

 Inspired to pull out your Blueprints and do some mixing and matching, or whip up a quick card using one of the Blueprints sketches? I sure hope so! Complete details and more inspiration can be found at the MFT Blog along with direct links to all designers playing along.

Creative Construction with Blueprints - Lucky Me!

Hi, and welcome to the February Creative Construction with Blueprints Challenge. The MFT design team's task is two-fold: 1) follow one of the Die-namics Blueprints sketches exactly and 2) do a little free-styling by mixing and matching elements from any of the specified Blueprints sets. This month's sets include Blueprints 2, 16, 17 and 19.

 

I really like the contrast of the gold layers on my first card - a smooth fishtail from Blueprints 19 contrasted with the embossed woodgrain of the Blueprints 17 strip.

The flower die from Blueprints 19 makes for the perfect shamrock.

I double cut the 'shamrock' for more dimension.

Freestyle with Blueprints 16, 17 & 19.

My second card features an exact sketch card from Blueprints 19 minus the button.
You can find all of the sketches HERE.

I stayed with the St. Patrick's Day theme on this one as well.

The sentiment is from Document It - Bingo.

The shamrock stem was made from the negative cut of the Blueprints 16 slit die.
I just ran it between my fingernails to give it a bit of a 'bend'.

MFT Creative Construction with Blueprints

Welcome to a brand new challenge hosted by the folks at My Favorite Things. The challenge is all about reconnecting with the Die-namics Blueprints, and this month's focus is on Blueprints 1 and Blueprints 2. 

Complete challenge details can be found at the MFT Blog.

My first card uses a narrow strip die from Blueprints 2 and a wider strip die from Blueprints 1 in a rainbow  of colors: Blueberry, Wild Wisteria, Blu Raspberry, Sno Cone, Persimmon, Peach Bellini and Banana Split.  After arranging the wide and narrow strips on Primitive White card stock in a wonky fashion, I die cut the entire layered panel with the large stitched edge panel from Blueprints 2 for a finished look.

I was going to stop there but decided to die cut the entire layered panel with Love Centerpieces and then stacked 3 more layers of the Love Centerpieces beneath the rainbow layer I'd cut first. Make sense?

I used the same technic on the top right corner, mixing in a fishtail tab from Blueprints 1.

My second card is by the book, completely following one of the sketches provided with Blueprints 1. When you're just not in the mood to mix and match, the sketches give you all the love and guidance you need! And since my sketch called for lots of layers, I kept things clean and simple by using just two colors: Kraft and Paver Red.

I added a little extra to the pair of hearts from I Love You More by coloring them with Copics and topping them off with Glossy Accents. You can also see the Paver Red base layer is stamped with the gorgeous new Damask Background stamp in Paver Red dye ink.

Ok, now it's your turn to mix and match with Blueprints 1 and 2, or simply follow along with sketches provided with each of the Blueprints Die-namics. 

Can't wait to see what you come up with!
