Hey Hey We're The Poppies!





Are you singing yet? When I stamp with this ADORABLE soon-to-be-released stamp set by MFT, I sing "Hey hey we're the Poppies" to the tune of "Hey hey we're the Monkees". LOL Remember that show? LOL No? HERE are the Monkees.


This stamp set, The Poppies, is one of the C-U-T-E-S-T stamp sets ever! It makes me break out into my cooing, school-girl squeal! When I showed it to my daughter Madeline, she had the same reaction, so I think this stamp set is good for girls of ALL ages. LOL



It will be released Wednesday night at 10:00 PM EST in the MFT Store HERE. Please join us for the release party HERE on Wednesday night from 8-10 PM EST. We'll be posting MFTeasers using the 3 new stamp sets as well as announcing the TWO NEW design team members that were plucked from the MFT Stamping Idol contest! Our Sweet Sixteen (MFT's 16 designers) will be on hand to answer questions, chat and get to know our fellow MFT Junkies! :) See you there!



On to the card details... In my mind, I envisioned a guitar shaped card with strings running up and down the entire length to mimic the guitar in the stamped image. Then I realized that a.) I cannot draw to save my life b.) I don't like to cut things out with scissors and c.) the idea was SO much cuter in my head! LOL So, I settled for an embellishment "cluster" to mimic the guitar strings. As a litmus test, I showed the card to my hubby and asked him, "do you get it?" He answered, "what, that the strings are like guitar strings?" DING DING DING and I called it a success. LOL



I drew in the checkered floor with a marker and colored it in with my Copic marker. Each square is 1 cm. I think cute rocker chicks perform in trendy places that have black and white checkered floors. LOL She was colored with Copic markers and I used a Spica silver glitter pen to highlight a couple areas on her guitar and amp. The sentiment is actually 2 separate sentiments combined. There are various stamps you can use with ROCK, like: birthdays, girls and the one I used. :) SO SO cute! Have I mentioned I am squealing? LOL This is one of those stamp sets that I CANNOT get enough of. :)

  8. Are you kidding me? You envisioned this cuter?! This is one of the cutest things I've ever seen! I LOVE the guitar strings accent. GENIUS! And I'm so jealous of your sewing. I busted my sewing machine on the last idol project and still haven't gotten it fixed!
