Today you'll see samples created using the awesome new Monogram Alphabet  and At the Movies stamps and die-namics set.

I ended up using both sets on one card! It didn't start out that way but the two sets just seemed to fit together perfectly once I had the front done. The front of my card features Monogram Alphabet.

I stamped the circles with Memento London Fog ink and the letters with Memento Rose Bud. The white squares measure 1 3/4" so that gives you an idea of the size of the circular border. Instead of just stamping an "o" I used the hearts a plenty die-namics to cut out a strawberry ice cream felt heart and topped it with a fuchsia button. The patterned paper is from the Echo Park Be Mine collection from last year.

On the inside I featured just one of the fabulous sayings from At the Movies stamps and die-namics. And look at those fabulous dies!!! The gorgeous big negative is perfect for the large sayings in this set and the movie elements like the reel and camera are perfect accents!!

Here are the die-namics I used:

Today is all about sentiments since we're featuring Clearly Sentimental Pearls of Wisdom and Clearly Sentimental about Romance.

You might recognize CS Pearls of Wisdom from last month's release since it was the Triple Scoop set, but now it's available for purchase. Clearly Sentimental about Romance is this month's Triple Scoop. What's the Triple Scoop you ask? Well, it's a full size stamp set that changes each month and it's yours FREE with a qualifying $60 order (before taxes and shipping). All you need to do is add the set to your cart and it'll arrive with the rest of your order.

I used Clearly Sentimental about Romance for my card today, along with plenty of die-namics.

I started with the new Layered Heart die-namic and cut it out of red and cream card stock. Then I pulled out the circles from first place award ribbon and sweet stack labels die-namics to create the circular element. The sentiment is stamped with Memento Tuxedo black onto a piece of sahara sand that I cut out with the large banner from first place award ribbon die-namics. I needed a pretty backdrop for this heart so I pulled out my high tea doily die-namic. I honestly can't recall the last time I used this die, and I don't know why because it's so detailed and pretty. The patterned papers are from My Mind's Eye Love Me 6x6 paper pad.

Here are the die-namics I used:

Today you'll se projects created using Bunch of Hearts Flopsey and he's so darn cute!!!

I started by stamping Flopsey onto sahara sand card stock then I added some shading with grey markers. I wanted the hearts to be bright and cheery so I stamped them on cream card stock and coloured them with copics.

But bright hearts just wasn't enough...I needed dimension too. To achieve this effect I stamped the hearts three times, coloured them, then cut them out and layered them with foam boosters. I adorned the top heart even more by coating it with a layer of stardust Stickles, then a coat of glossy accents once the Stickles was dry.

Check out that giant heart, cut from patterned paper thanks to the new Layered Heart die-namics. I used the largest heart to cut out the patterned paper, then I used the layered heart as a template to add the perfectly spaced rhinestones. To create this effect, simply line up the layered die onto your cut out heart and use a mechanical pencil to mark the holes (because the pencil lead is thin enough to fit into the pokey holes). But if you don't have a pencil with a small enough lead, just cut out the layered heart and you'll be able to used the card stock heart as a guide, and the holes will be bigger.  :-)

The patterned paper is My Mind's Eye Love Me and I used the first place award ribbon die-namics to cut out the double ended banner for the sentiment. The dainty dots border was perfect for cutting out some strawberry ice cream felt and stitching it to the bottom.

Here are the die-namics I used.

XO {MFTWSC52}

It's time to get sketchy with the MFT Wednesday Stamp Club and sketch 52. Can you believe we've already gone through an entire year of sketches?!? Well fear not, because the weekly sketches will continue in 2012. Woo Hoo MFT!!!

I pulled out Pure Innocence Love You with all my Heart for today's card. She's such a cutie holding that big heart!!!

She's stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black and coloured with copics. I paper pieced her dress with one of the patterns from the My Mind's Eye Love Me 6x6 pad. The super sparkly heart was first coloured with a pink copic marker, then I covered it with Fruit Punch Stickles and set it aside to dry.

I used the by the letters die-namics to cut out the X and O from patterned paper (and the pattern on the paper is X's and O's). The tiny little scallop along the image panel is one edge of the scallop ribbon die-namic. It coordinates so well with the little open scallop strip die-namic I used to cut out the grey scallop edge. And finally, the larger banner from the first place award ribbon die-namic was perfect for the horizontal strip.

Here are the sketchy details:

There's a prize each week for one participant, chosen at random. You may use any stamps and supplies that you wish. Each week a keyword is assigned to the sketch, and this week's keyword is MFTWSC52. All you need to do to enter is upload your card to the gallery at Splitcoast and enter the given keyword in the keyword box during the upload process. After the deadline (noon Eastern on Tuesday) we randomly choose a winner from that week's entries and the winner will receive a $15 gift voucher. If the winning card uses MFT stamps, the participant will earn a $5 bonus, for a total of a $20 gift voucher!

Be sure to head over to Kim's Blog to view the entire list of design team participants...there's plenty of inspiration for you with today’s sketch!

Today we're going to Paris with Who's That Parisian Girl?. She's so stylish walking down the street in her pretty top and patterned skirt, with the Eiffel Tower in the background.

That Eiffel Tower image is a separate stamp in the set, so you can also have her walking down the street without the tower in the background. I coloured her with copic markers and paper pieced her skirt. I used the larger of the new Oval Decorative Doily Duo die-namic as a layer behind the image.

The flower is the gorgeous new Scallop Rolled Flower die-namic with a rhinestone in the center. I stamped the "merci" sentiment onto one of the new Mini Wavy Pennants and tucked it under the flower. A little pleated seam binding adds texture and the faux crochet border die-namic cut from black card stock coordinates perfectly with the decorative oval. The patterned papers are from the My Mind's Eye Lost & Found Sunshine 6x6 pad.

On the inside and stamped the poodle from the set and cut out the tower with the new Eiffel Tower die-namic. I added another "merci" on a different Mini Wavy Pennants die-namic and 'flew' it from the top of the tower.

Here are the die-namics I used:
