MFTeaser - Celebrate

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

Today I made a sweet baby girl card using the new Bitty Banners and Bitty Banners Die-namics, part of the Lisa Johnson Designs line, along with the fun Laina Lamb Accent It - Celebrate Die-namics. All the new products will be available on July 9th at 10pm EDT, in the MFT Boutique. Be sure to hop over to the MFT Blog for a list of today's participating designers along with the amazing prize info!

I went the baby girl route because I wanted to use the colour combination from the Mixed Media Colour Challenge #2. Which also meant I needed to incorporate another medium besides ink. The layout is FTL245.

I started with a card base of Primitive White, then added a layer of Bubble Gum. I also added a blush layer and this is where the mixed media comes in. I used the new Petal Pattern Stencil along with some blended fibers paste to add texture to the blush layer. I sped up the drying process with my heat tool.

Along the top of the card I used the Accent It - Celebrate Die-namics to cut out the Primitive White strip and stamped "welcome baby" from Bitty Banners with Bubble Gum Premium Dye Ink.

Then I incorporated Banana Split card stock and the new Banana Split Premium Dye Ink for the banners. I cut them from Smooth White and Banana Split using the Bitty Banners Die-namics, then stamped patterns from the Bitty Banners stamp set using Banana Split Premium Dye Ink and white chalk ink.

The flower accent was fun to create using the bloom from the new Blueprints 5 Die-namics, cut from Bubble Gum card stock and topped with a Banana Split button tied with Hemp Cord.

On the inside I used more elements from Blueprints 5 Die-namics and stamped two more of the flag images from Bitty Banners.

Here are the supplies I used:

Dare to Dream

I did something a little different on today's card and dove into the world of Mixed Media with molding paste and a stencil. Eeeks!!! I kinda had no choice because I wanted to play along with the new Mixed Media Colour Challenge and that meant using more than just ink...I had to use two types of media. Mediums? Media? Not sure which is the correct word, but you get the picture. The layout is FMS90 from the Freshly Made Sketches blog.

I made this card with Maddy in mind and I'm sending it to her. You can participate in the card drive too. Click HERE to read all about it on the Simon Says Stamp blog.

I started with a card base of Primitive White card stock then added a layer of Steel Grey and a layer of Pink Lemonade. For some reason when I looked at the colour challenge image I saw Steel Grey, not black. Hmph...I hope I don't get kicked out of the challenge. LOL! ;-)

I used the Graduated Diamonds MIX-ables stencil from My Favorite Things and some light molding paste to create the diamonds on the Steel Grey strip. I did that part first then set it aside to dry, and once I was ready to assemble the rest of the card the paste was completely dry. Sweet!

I created the main square by stamping roses from Blooming Roses onto a square of Primitive White. I used Pink Lemonade Premium Dye Ink and Razzle Berry Premium Dye Ink for the flowers, and Factory Green Premium Dye Ink for the leaves. I wanted one of the flowers to be popped up for dimension so I used the Rose Bouquet Die-namics to cut out the large flower from Smooth White, then cut the leaves from Factory Green. I adhered the main flower with foam tape and inked the edges of the square with versamark ink, then heat embossed it with silver powder.

Then I created the sentiment flag by stamping the sentiment from Dandelion Wishes with versamark onto a strip of Steel Grey, and embossing it with silver powder.

On the inside I simply stamped another sentiment from Dandelion Wishes with Razzle Berry Premium Dye Ink, then I used the Faux Crochet Border Die-namics to cut out the pretty lacy piece of Steel Grey.
