Be Strong

Hi and welcome to Day 1 of MFT Teaser Time.  Today, we are featuring the gorgeous Who's that Girl Chooses Hope stamp set.  This set was part of the VIP Collection (which sold out in about 12 hours).  I was feeling quite inspired so I made three different things for today's post, all using the same Crate Random patterned paper pad.  What can I say, I'm a creature of habit.  LOL  :)


On a recent trip to Staples I found a bunch of breast cancer awareness products including some pink pencils and a set of 6 paper clips with an attached pink ribbon charm (for only $1.99).  I was bound and determined to use that cute charm and the pencils.  I came up with a box to hold 4 pencils, and adorned it with the cute charm.  I am planning to do a tutorial video later this week, so stay tuned for that.  



For the pencil treat box, I adhered the picture of the single Who's that Girl and used the Mini Ticket Strip to stamp the word "strong" on. 



I sanded all the edges of my patterned paper to make them stand out against the black box.  Her shirt was paper-pieced using the gorgeous patterned paper.



The charms came attached to the paper clips, but I just had to slip them off.  Easy peasy (and cute).



I made a coordinating card.  I didn't want to add any more patterned paper and wanted to coordinate as closely to the box as I could, so I jazzed it up by adding another stitched box inside the outer layer.  It gave me just enough "stuff" I think.  :) The perfectly matching brads are from my stash from pink hedgehog.   The image is matted on the Open Scallop Doily Duo.  I added some Simply Scallops Medium in pink.  The sentiment is stamped on the Ticket Tab Die-namics.




Here is a peek inside the card:



I wanted to make another card to show the other main image included in the stamp set.  The girls' outfits are paper-pieced and I added a huge flower "pin" to one of their shirts by using the flower die from the Notched Tag Die-namics and white felt.  In the center, I adhered a Swarovski Crystal.  The image is matted on one of the doilies from the Open Scallop Doily Duo Die-namics (say that five times fast).  I stamped the sentiment using Brilliance Black and then clear embossed to make it stand out more against the patterned paper.



Here is a peek inside this card.  I used a sentiment from the set and one of the accessory ribbons that can be stamped on the girls' shirts.  :)




*Whew* that was a a LOT of pink, and a lot of flowers.  I hope you like both of those things as much as I do.  LOL
