Congratulations...

Hi all and thanks for stopping by today.  It's day 6 of MFT Teaser Time and it's Pure Innocence Day!  


My card today uses the soon-to-be-released stamp set, Home Sweet Home.  Her sweet "grown up" outfit is adorable.  I stamped the sentiment on the Ticket Tab Die-namics because I wanted to add a sentiment, but didn't have room anywhere on the card front.  



She is colored with Prismacolor Pencils.  I dress in the grass and added some subtle shading behind her.  I love the new Mini Royal Roses.  They are SO sweet!




I added a strip of Simply Scallops Large in green to tie in all the colors in the patterned paper.  I did lots of stitching on this card as you can see in this picture.  LOL

UR Fabulous

Hi all and welcome to day 5 of MFT Teaser Time!  à la modes are one of my favorite stamp lines from MFT and I just ADORE the new set I've Got UR Back.  Those big bold letters are SO fun to paper-piece.  I love her looking over her shoulder... I just LOVE this whole stamp set!  *swoon*



She is colored with Prismacolor Pencils.  I paper-pieced the UR letters with patterned paper.  I added the word "Fabulous" on a Mini Oval Tab.  I kept the embellishments to a minimum and opted instead for a more clean look.



I drew in the grass and added some bold shading behind her.

Girly Graphic Tee

Hi all!  It's day 3 of MFT Teaser Time.  I am SO excited about the new stamp set and Die-namics combos being released!  Today, I used Girly Graphic Tee Stamp Set & Die-namics.  I just love all the big, BOLD, graphic elements.  It is perfect for quick and cute cards!  


I went with some bold, graphic patterned paper from Authentique for both of my cards today.  First up a card for my Mom.  I used the MOM stamp and paired it with the of the YEAR stamp to create this cute sentiment.  You can mix and match and stamp in lots of different familial names. I love that the tee has fun emboss lines to show detail.



I layered the tee over circles cut with the Circle STAX Sets 1 & 2.



I added dimension with Black Dimensional Boosters and added a couple small black brads.



I made another card using another of the graphic sentiments in the set.  This one is perfect for any runner in your life.  It seems like everyone is running nowadays.  I feel like I should take it up... perhaps some day.  :)   I accented the card with Fishtail Flags ( I LOVE those dies).



I added some pierced holes to jazz it up a big.  The stamp is "distressed" so those holes in the stamped sentiment are intentional.  Just so you know... :) 



I popped up the tee with Black Dimensional Boosters to add dimension to the otherwise simple card.



Check out the fun embossing on the tee.



This is the Girly Graphic Tee Die-namics die.  The grey lines are emboss lines.



Here are some examples of things you can do with the Stamp Set & Die-namics combo.



Here is a better look at the stamp set!

Working Together Is Success

Hi all and thank you for stopping today.  It's day 3 of MFT Teaser Time and we are getting sentimental today.  I used the Clearly Sentimental about Anniversaries stamp set.  It was available for the past month as the Triple Scoop Set and now will be available for purchase, for those of you who didn't earn it for free.  :)



The sentiment was stamped on the soon-to-be-released Vertical Greetings II Die-namics die.  I added an eyelet to each edge and "anchored" the sentiment using Linen Thread from Stampin' Up.  To add the decorative strip to the sentiment panel, I cut the shape from patterned paper and used my paper trimmer to slice off a decorative strip to adhere under the sentiment.  I added a couple small Fishtail Flags under the sentiment panel and hand-stitched them on.



Here is the peek of the inside, stamped with another sentiment included in the set.

Grow

Hi all!  It's time for day 2 of MFT Teaser Time and I have a clean and simple card for you today using the new stamp set, Inspired by Trees.  Sometimes, more realistic stamps with lots of detail can be scary.  I like to take a different approach to them and stamp them in a solid color, like white, brown, black etc.  


Here, I stamped the tree in brown craft ink and left the details simple, to allow the stamp to shine.



I added some machine stitching to add detail to the otherwise simple card.  The two Fishtail Flags were cut from patterned vellum.



I used the Mini Scallop Edge to make a dainty and unassuming border.  The tree was cut out using the Circle STAX Set 1 Die-namics.

Your Smile Is like Sunshine

Hi all!  It's time for another MFT Wednesday Stamp Club (#69)!  


I whipped out Puddle Jumper, which conveniently comes in a circle and works with the sketch beautifully.  :) 



Who's that Girl is colored with Prismacolor Pencils.  She is cut out using scissors and matted using Circle STAX Set 1 Die-namics.  I added a bling circle (Michaels) around her to add some pizazz.  The buttons on her coat are 2 tiny brads (Michaels).  I added plenty of silver brads to the corners of the layers to add some sparkle and shine.  A strip of faux suede ribbon was added to add *just* a little something extra.



I finished off the inside with a sentiment from the stamp set.




Here is the sketch for you.  I hope you'll play along.  :)





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!
