World Of Michael Trent

  Hello everyone!  I hope your summer is off to a good start.  We are heading towards winter here in Sao Paulo and, sadly, it's a bit colder than normal.  At least we don't get snow here.  Yet!  Today, June 15th, starts a new QKR Stampede "Anything Goes" Challenge .   I need a few notecards to send to friends and, since mail from here to anywhere else in the world takes forever, I decided to use this snail digi image to reflect that.  LOL For this card I used Hitching A Ride ,  Hi , and Quote Balloon  - all available on the Want2Scrap website.  I started by importing Hitching A Ride, Quote Balloon, and Hi into Pages on my Mac. I sized it for an A2 card and positioned the "Hi" in the center of the Quote Balloon image.  Then I printed two of these on white cardstock. I fully colored one of the images and on the 2nd, I fussy cut the Quote Balloon with the Hi inside.  I also made a top-folding A2 card from white cardstoc...

  Hello everyone.  We are back!  The QKR Stampede Design Team had to take a month off because if you have not heard, Stamp On It sold their stamp lines to Want 2 Scrap and they needed time to get all of the fantastic images up on their site.  Not all the images are there yet and they are working their butts off - so keep checking back. My Design Team ideas for the new May 1st QKR Stampede "Anything Goes" Challenge are a 4th of July card and a simple 4th of July tag.  I really love making anything for the 4th of July / Independence Day.  I have color combo issues but, with a red, white, and blue color base, ideas are easy peasy.   Wanna make this card too?  Here's how to do it. I made a top-folding A2 card using white cardstock.   I printed one of the 4th of July Digital Papers that I bought from Bella Creative Design on Etsy , and die cut it using the largest die from the Stitched Rectangle Set 1 dies from  Pink & Mai...

  Hello hello hello everyone!  I hope y'all are doing great.  Today I am sharing my Design Team project for the QKR Stampede Blog .  On the 1st and 15th of each month, QKR has an "Anything Goes" card challenge.  You can use one of their images - or not.  But, you can also win free digi images from them if your card is one of the winners.  Not bad! Quick note: The QKR and Eureka brands have been sold and, at this time, are not available to purchase.  Once the new owner has her store up and running, I will update any images used here with current links.  So, check back if you love these images!   For my project, I made a birthday card using the Happy Birthday with Balloons digital stamp from Eureka! Stamps (link will be updated soon).  I printed the Happy Birthday with Balloons image on white cardstock in the size I wanted, which I then die-cut using a 3.75" x 5" stitched rectangle die from Pink & Main .  Next, I colored...

***Please note that right before this blog post went live, Stamp-On-It sold their stamp lines, including the QKR and Eureka digital stamps, and the links in this post will probably not work.  Once the new owner has the new website up and running, I will fix all the links in case you wish to buy these digis.    Hello everyone!  It's the 1st of the month and that means that there is a new "Anything Goes" card challenge over on the QKR Stampede Challenge Blog .   For my Design Team project, I decided to make one more Easter card because there is still time to make a few more.    And, heck, these digi images are $2 each.  How can you go wrong?  Right?     For this card, I used  Bunch of Eggs  for my main image and Happy Easter  for the sentiment.  Both are digital stamps by Eureka! Stamps .  I use Pages on my Mac with my digi stamps.  I imported both images to Pages on a card sized 4.5" x 5.5"....

  Hello everyone!  It's the 15th of the month and that means that there is a new "Anything Goes" card challenge over on the  QKR Stampede Challenge Blog .   Since Easter is fast approaching I decided to make an Easter card and fell in love with the Happy Easter with Bouquet Digital Stamp .  I knew this would make a beautiful slimline Easter card.   I printed the Happy Easter with Bouquet digital stamp - twice - on a sheet of white cardstock and colored one of them using some GRAF Duo alcohol markers and the Key Lime ultra fine-tip maker from BIC.    Next, I die-cut it using the smaller stitched slimline die from the Slim Stitched Rectangle Die Set from Pink Fresh Studio. Next, I made my card base, 3.5" x 8.5", using a sheet of dark pink/hot pink cardstock to which I adhered a piece of "Easterish" paper to the front and a piece of white cardstock to the inside for a message.   I also layered my Happy Easter on a piece of the sa...

  Hello everyone and welcome to March!  I hope y'all are doing well.  With all the rain we have been getting, I've been staying indoors a lot making cards, albums, folios, recipes, and a mess.  LOL. It's good to have something to do to pass the time.     Today is also a new Yes, It's A Holiday collaboration with my friends Debra ( @djdavison814 ) and L ori ( @mamakobs ), and we are celebrating  National Pig Day .  Today is also my first card for the QKR Stampede Blog and, to kill two cards with one stamp, I used the Christmas Pig digi and a Merry Christmas digi sentiment digi (link coming soon), both from the  QKR Stampede  store. And, they are only $2 each! But, if you love these images and want them as a physical rubber stamp, they have those too.  Click HERE for the Christmas Pig rubber stamp and click HERE for the Merry Christmas sentiment rubber stamp . I LOVE pigs.  I also love bacon but, please, don't tell the ...
