Made this sympathy card for a church member, who lost her husband to cancer. I was happy to use my new MFT kit items, but sad that I had to make a sad card with it.
UPDATE: I FINALLY WON A CHALLENGE !!! WOOT!!! 😃🎉 Made this sweet, simple card using an oldie, but goodie. Love these adorable birds and their cages!

I needed a baby card, so I opted for something really simple. I swear, with everything that's going on right now, I'm thisclose to having a mental breakdown. Not even kidding. Thank goodness for cute dies that basically do the work for me.

For my "innovative" card, I decided to shop my supplies and use something in a different manner than it was intended. I knew I wanted to make a music themed card for my son's piano teacher, so I set out to find a way to make piano keys. I thought about just cutting strips of paper, but I really wanted the corners to be rounded, just like real keys. Finally, it clicked while I was looking at MFT's Speech Bubble Die-namics. Just cut the little "arrow" part off and boom -- piano keys! They were too perfect! I first stamped my background for the top portion of my card using a light gray ink. Then I die cut out all the keys using black and light gray card stock. I carefully adhered all the white keys to a black strip of card stock, making it look like bottom of the keyboard itself. Then I popped up the back keys using foam tape accordingly. (I double checked with my son, who says I laid them out correctly. =) ) I then die cut the "thank you" sen...
