Hello, Pumpkin

Hi all!  If you've been wishing for MFT Teaser Time to start, you are in luck!  Today marks the start of seven days full of everything NEW.  New stamp sets, Die-namics, inks, and STENCILS.  Watch for all of the full stamp set and die reveals over on the MFT Blog from today through August 6th. 

I am kicking things off today with a clean and simple card using the precious new Pure Innocence Pretty Pumpkin and Plaid Background Builder. I paired the card with a treat box that matches her shirt.  It was made with the brand new Paper Bag Treat Box and Paper Bag Peek-a-Boos.  The clever treat box looks just like a real paper bag, complete with working score lines along the sides.

The background was stamped with Plaid Background Builder in Banana Split and Orange Fizz inks.  I'm in love with the Plaid Builder.  You'll be seeing that a lot over the next week.  :)

She was colored using Copic markers.  I stamped the accessory jack o'lantern face on her shirt and colored the eyes and mouth to look like they are glowing.

Here is a close up of the adorable plaid.

These products and many more will be available for purchase on August 6 at 10 PM EST.  Be sure to check out the MFT Blog to see what the rest of the team has come up with today.

Christmas in July

Hi all and thanks for stopping by today!  The MFT Design Team has been challenged to celebrate Christmas in July for the monthly Creative Challenge.  Be sure to check out what the rest of the team came up with HERE on the MFT Blog.

I tried to get in the Christmas spirit, but had pink on the brain, so both of my cards have feminine flair with the addition of PINK.  Pink is always ok... (I hope LOL)

My first card was inspired by my husband... UNINTENTIONALLY.  I often show him cards after I made them and ask him if he likes them.  So, one day I showed him THIS card and his reply was, "nice Christmas tree".  The problem is that it wasn't a Christmas tree, it was a Party Hat made with the super cute Jumbo Party Hat Die-namics.  On the plus side, with the Christmas in July challenge coming up, it inspired me to whip up this actual Christmas tree.  LOL

I trimmed it down to be a perfect triangle.  I created the trunk with a piece of Hot Fudge Card Stock and tucked the tree in some Snow Drifts.  I kept it nice and simple!

The gold garland was stamped with the wavy string from the Party Balloons stamp set.  The ornaments were stamped with the period from Monogram Alphabet.  

Next up is this card with an untraditional color combo.  I created a Poinsettia in pink and green with a gold center.  It was mounted on a Kraft Pierced Circle.  The sentiment is from Document It - December.  The background was stamped with Darling Dots.

Be sure to head over to the MFT Blog to see what the rest of the team came up with for this fun challenge.
