MFTeaser - Happy and Merry Christmas

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

Today I have two cards to share and they're completely different from each other. These are cards number 23 and 24 for Project Christmas 2013. Yay!

All the new products will be available in the MFT Boutique on October 8th at 10pm EDT.

I'll start out with my Happy Christmas card using Pure Innocence Happy Christmas.

I absolutely adore how this card turned out. You know when you make something and it just makes you smile? Well that's how I feel about this card.

I started with a Sweet Tooth card base then added a layer of Sno Cone. Next I used the Swiss Dots Die-namics to cut out the Sweet Tooth background. I love how the holes show a peek of Sno Cone underneath and it looks like falling snow. I used one of the sentiments from Pure Innocence Happy Christmas, stamped with Black Licorice Premium Dye Ink, stamped in the bottom right corner.

For the image I stamped her with Memento Tuxedo Black onto X-Press It Blending Card then coloured her with copic markers. I used a yellow Spica glitter pen on the star for a little sparkle. I fussy cut around her and mounted her on foam tape for dimension.

The background trees were fun to create. I started with the Tree Lines Die-namics and cut it from Sour Apple card stock. Then I cut it again from Sweet Tooth and trimmed off the white trees. I stitched the two layers together, leaving just a peek of green along the top of the white hill.

On the inside I stamped another sentiment from Pure Innocence Happy Christmas then I stamped the girl again with Pink Lemonade Premium Dye Ink.

**********
Next up I have a clean and simple Christmas card that uses FTL260, but I flipped it to make a wide card instead of a tall card.

I started with a Primitive Cream card base then built the card on a layer of Kraft.

The sentiment was created by using the Christmas Greetings Die-namics to cut out Paver Red card stock. Then I simply adhered it to the Kraft layer.

I used the new More Washi Patterns stamp set to create the two vertical line patterns. I did it by creating a reverse mask. I used the Washi Patterns Die-namics to cut out two strips of plain copy paper, then I used the cut openings as a mask for the stamped images. The two patterns were stamped with Kraft Premium Dye Ink and Nightshift Blue Premium Dye Ink. I added a Timber Green button tied with Hemp Cord for a dimensional accent.

MFTeaser - Dreams

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

Today I created a clean and simple card using the gorgeous new Fancy Butterflies Die-namics, among other new products. All the new products will be available in the MFT Boutique on September 3rd at 10pm EDT.

I started with a Sweet Tooth card base then built the main part of the card on a layer of Kraft.

I used the Fancy Butterflies Die-namics to cut out the butterfly from Cotton Candy and Steel Grey card stocks then I adhered them together along the body. I bent the wings up a little for dimension and added some pearls along the body. In the background I used the Large Scale Backgrounds (this month's Free with $60 stamp set) to add the polka dots with Kraft Premium Dye Ink.

I chose a sentiment from Winged Beauties and stamped it with Black Licorice Premium Dye Ink, then I rounded the bottom corner with my corner chomper. The layout for this card is FTL256 from the Clean and Simple blog.

Along the left edge of the card base I used the Textile Backgrounds, stamped with Steel Grey Premium Dye Ink, to add the patterned strip. I stitched a strip of Cotton Candy card stock to separate the Kraft layer from the pattern.

On the inside I stamped three more butterflies from Winged Beauties using Cotton Candy Premium Dye Ink, Kraft Premium Dye Ink, and Steel Grey Premium Dye Ink.
