Go Confidently in the Direction of Your Dreams

Hello!  I have a card for this week's MFT Wednesday Stamp Club.  Hop on over to the MFT Blog for details on how you can play along to win up to $20 in MFT spending money.

This sketch had lots of wonky panels in it, so you have to embrace the asymmetry and just roll with it.  :)

I used the new Life's Direction stamp set for the sentiment, which was stamped in Black Licorice on Natural Card Stock.  I stitched on the sentiment with Hemp Cord.  It was layered over a 3 X 4 Insert, which was stamped with the houndstooth from Spring Backgrounds.

I added a Red Hot feather from Feathers and Arrows, and accented with a Kraft Button threaded with Hemp Cord.

In the background, I added layers of Open Scallop Doily in Smooth White, a Kraft Fishtail Flag that was crimped with my paper crimper and a plain layer of Steel Blue Card Stock.

Remember, you can get all the details by visiting the MFT Blog and the MFT forum on SCS (look for the most recent WSC thread).  You'll need to upload your card in the SCS gallery using the keyword shown on the sketch. You will have the chance to win up to $20 in MFT money. One winner is chosen at random each week!

Go get sketchy with MFT!

May Release Rewind

Hi all and thanks for stopping by today.  Have you filled your shopping cart with MFT goodness?  The Brand Spankin' New Release is available NOW, right HERE.  :) 

I had a lot of fun using the new products, and wanted to explore more uses for Lisa Johnson's Cheerful Blessings stamp set.  I paired it with Blueprints 3 and used the sketches that are digitally provided on the MFT site HERE.  It makes quick work of stamping and I love having all the parts and pieces I need in one handy package.  

On this card, I used the Rainbow Die-namics to create a rainbow and I tucked it behind a "frame" created with a couple pieces from the Blueprints 3 Die-namics.  A sentiment from Cheerful Blessings was stamped in Black Licorice.  The sky was airbrushed with my Copic markers in BG10 and BG11.

I added a couple Flat Bottom Clouds at the base of the rainbow, and a Lemon Drop Sunshine Die-namics in the upper right corner.   The border was created using another piece of Blueprints 3 in Lemon Drop.

I had a lot of fun with the quick and easy card.  I went super literal and defined the sentiment with a couple die-cuts.  The sentiment was stamped on a Smooth White circle cut using Blueprints 3, in Black Licorice ink.  I added a Red Hot heart from Hearts a Plenty and then added a teeny Lemon Drop sun from Notched Tag Die-namics.  SO easy, but this card makes my heart happy.  :)

A few border strips cut from Lemon Drop are tucked behind, adhered to a Kraft layer.

Thanks for stopping by.  Please head over to the MFT Blog for a full list of participating designers.  You'll find plenty of inspiration.  :) 

And remember, the new MFT products are available NOW, right HERE.
