MFTeaser - Happy Holidays

Welcome to day seven of seven fabulous days of MFT teasers!

It's almost time to shop!! All the new products will be available in the MFT Boutique tonight at 10pm EDT. Hooray! Hop over to the MFT Blog to download your October shopping list, then you can check it twice, because everything is nice, nice, nice! Ha Ha! Sorry...silly humour.

I have another quick and easy Christmas card to share, number 25 for Project Christmas 2013. The layout is CTS48 from the CAS(E) This Sketch blog.

I started with a Sweet Tooth card base then added a layer of Nightshift Blue. I used the Sheet Music Background, stamped with Nightshift Blue Premium Dye Ink, to add pattern to the background layer.

I used the Splendid Snowflake Die-namics to cut out the three Smooth White snowflakes. I stamped them with Pink Lemonade Premium Dye Ink, Sno Cone Premium Dye Ink, and Grapesicle Premium Dye Ink. Then I added a coordinating button to each one, tied with Hemp Cord.

The sentiment is from Cheerful Christmas Greetings, this month's Free with $60 stamp set. That means you'll receive it absolutely free with a qualifying $60 order. Sweet!!! I stamped the sentiment with Sweet Tooth Pigment Ink then heat embossed it with white powder to make it stand out even more.

A+ Thanks

Happy Friday the 13th! Does that freak you out at all? I kinda like it, because my favorite number is 13.

I made this card to give to my sister-in-law, using supplies from My Favorite Things. Towards the end of each school year she always asks me for thank you cards for the kids' teachers, so this year I'm getting a jump on it before she asks.

The layout is CTS44 from CAS(E) This Sketch, well it's a loose interpretation of the sketch. Wink! I started with a Kraft card base then added  a layer of Electric Red. I built the sentiment cluster on a layer of Smooth White.

I stamped 'thanks' and 'you're the best' from Sending Thanks using Limeade Premium Dye Ink and Black Licorice Premium Dye Ink. Next I stamped a portion of the dashed image, also from Sending Thanks, using Sno Cone Premium Dye Ink. The A+ element is from Document It - School Days, stamped with Electric Red Premium Dye Ink, and I used the Accent It - School Days Die-namics to cut out the Kraft shape.

I like that this card can be used for female or male teachers.

Merry Christmas

When I saw this week's CAS(E) This Sketch, CTS#30, I knew exactly what I wanted to do with it. A Christmas card of course. What?!?! Don't you immediately think of Christmas card-making in June? :-)

This is card #9 for Project Christmas 2013. I went with a non-traditional colour combo and I adore how it turned out. I started with a Sweet Tooth card base then added a layer of Razzleberry. I built the rest of the card on another layer of Sweet Tooth.

I chose a sentiment from Clearly Sentimental about Christmas, from My Favorite Things, and stamped it with Black Licorice Premium Dye Ink onto a strip of Sweet Tooth. I added a snowflake from Christmas Ornaments stamped with Razzleberry Premium Dye Ink, then I stitched the white strip to a piece of Pink Lemonade.

For the flag elements on the sketch I went with ornaments. I used the Christmas Ornaments Die-namics to cut out three ornaments from Razzleberry, Sour Apple, and Berrylicious card stock. Then I stamped the patterns on each of the ornaments with the coordinating inks, Razzleberry Premium Dye Ink, Sour Apple Premium Dye Ink, and Berrylicious Premium Dye Ink. I added a rhinestone to the pink ornament then coloured it with my RV17 copic marker and finished the ornaments with Hemp Cord.

On the inside I stamped another sentiment from Clearly Sentimental about Christmas then added some of the smaller elements from Christmas Ornaments.
