MFTeaser - Cool Beans

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

Today the design team is introducing a fun new line called Doodle Garden. The images are adorable and I know you'll love them as much as I do. This month there are three new stamp sets in this line, Doodle Garden Far Out, Doodle Garden Sweet Friend, and Doodle Garden I'm Raptor Round Your Finger. I had good intentions of inking up all three of them for today's post, but I'm under the weather with a nasty cold and it took me all day to make just one card (but I LOVE it!).

I used Doodle Garden Far Out and some fun bright colours. This little darling really reminds me of one of my nieces...she has blonde hair and wears glasses, and I know she's going to love receiving this card in the mail. I started with a card base of Whip Cream then added layers of Orange Fizz and Blu Raspberry cardstock. The patterned papers are from the My Mind's Eye A Mother's Love collection, and I added a strip of Orange Fizz grosgrain ribbon to separate the two patterns. The layout is SSS191 from the Sweet Stop Sketch blog.

For the image I stamped her with Memento Tuxedo Black onto X-Press It Blending card then coloured her with copic markers. I added dimension to the image by popping the heart and the flower in her hair on foam tape, and I gave her glasses two coats of clear glaze pen for a glassy look. I used the Rectangle 1 STAX and Rectangle 2 STAX Die-namics to cut out the Whip Cream and Orange Fizz layers then I embossed the orange one with my polka dots embossing folder.

For the flower accent I used the two bottom layers of the new Mini Hybrid Heirloom Rose Die-namics to cut out Orange Fizz felt and orange patterned paper. Then I added a Blu Raspberry button tied with Hemp Cord.

On the inside I simply stamped the girl with Memento Tangelo ink and added a sentiment from the set, stamped with the new MFT Black Licorice ink. I still use Memento Tuxedo Black to stamp images that I'll be colouring with copic markers, but the Black Licorice ink is my new "go to" for any other black stamping. The coverage of the new MFT ink is amazing!!

Congratulations

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

I hope you're ready for pure cuteness because today is Pure Innocence day. I've used the super sweet Pure Innocence Home Sweet Home for my card.

I want to point out how MFT Die-namics dies often yield a bonus cut, like a negative piece that has a fun shape. I used the Squiggle Border Die-namics to cut out the pink lemonade strip which I placed under the image panel, but then I used the negative cut to line the top of the striped paper layer. It's like a two-for-one Die-namics die!!

The image was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black and coloured with copics. I paper pieced her jacket and skirt with patterns from the My Mind's Eye Howdy Doody 6x6 pad. I used the Rectangle STAX 1 and Rectangle STAX 2 Die-namics to cut out the image and the grey mat. I used the new Mini Royal Roses Die-namic to create the flower accent from banana split felt and used the ticket tab Die-namics for the sentiment.

On the inside I used the fishtail flags STAX Die-namics to create an area for the second sentiment and stamped the image again with Memento Angel Pink ink.

I worked with Inspired By Lighthouses. Can you say GORGEOUS!?!?! The images in this set are soooooo pretty and I can't help but mention how easy they are to colour since the shading is built right into the stamp.

I stamped the image with Memento Tuxedo Black and added some colour with copic markers. The layout is the Sweet Stop Sketch SSS144. I cut out a chat bubble Die-namics from light blue card stock for the sentiment and added a flower using the upsy daisy Die-namics and a grey corduroy brad. The patterned paper is new MME Miss Caroline Dolled Up.

On the inside I stamped another of the lighthouse images with light blue and a sentiment in black. Then I added the yellow border which I cut out using the new monarch border Die-namics.

Here are the Die-namics I used:

Happy shopping!

The image is stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black and coloured with copics. I paper pieced the wrapper to break up all the solid colours. The patterned paper is from the Authentique Splendid 6x6 collection.

The sentiment, Chocolate = Happiness is stamped onto a blue piece which I cut out with the file tab die-namic. You can also see a new die-namic tucked along the bottom....the jumbo monarch border die-namic. The layout is Sweet Stop Sketch 138.
