MFTeaser - Sassy Pants and New Puppy

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

It's Pure Innocence day and I've used two of the six Pure Innocence sets being released tomorrow night. Let's start with Pure Innocence Cute-a-tude, shall we?
Pin It

She's the sassiest little Pure Innocence girl I've ever seen and I adore her!!! Just look at her with her hands on her hips and her little leg kicked out!!! I used the Chat Bubbles Die-namics for the sentiment and wrapped some buttercream twine around the Fossil card stock layer.

I stamped her with Memento Tuxedo Black and coloured her with copic markers. I paper pieced her dress and the flower in her hair with papers from the My Mind's Eye Miss Caroline Howdy Doody 6x6 pad. The layout is Mojo229.

I used the Royal Rose Die-namics to cut out three flowers from patterned papers, rolled them up and added a rhinestone to the center of each. These are the prettiest rolled flowers with the scallopy edges of each petal!

On the inside I stamped miss sassy pants again with Memento Cantaloupe ink then added another sentiment from the set. I used the Mini Monarch Border Die-namics to cut out the yellow patterned strip.


Next up is Pure Innocence Puppy Girl, another total cutie pie in my opinion!!

I used the Mini Monarch Border Die-namics again to cut out the white strip in the background and the paw from the Pet Charms Die-namics seemed like a perfect accent for this image. Did you know that MFT now carries gorgeous grosgrain ribbon in colours to coordinate with the card stock? I used some kraft ribbon to make the sweet bow, which coordinates perfectly with the Kraft card stock base layer.

I used the Oval STAX set 1 Die-namics to cut out the yellow oval then layered it onto an oval of Hot Fudge card stock which I cut out with the Oval Open Scallop Doily Die-namics. The patterned papers are all from the My Mind's Eye Miss Caroline Dolled Up collection.

On the inside I created my own sentiment stack by using the large banner from First Place Award Ribbon Die-namics, the large circle from Behind the Camera Die-namics, and the Oval STAX set 1 Die-namics. I added another charm from the Pet Charms Die-namics, cut from woodgrain paper.

MFTeaser - True Friends

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

It's à la modes day and I made a fun card for another of my best friends that helps me weather difficult times. I used à la modes The Rainbow Will Come. I love her giant umbrella!!!
Pin It

Her coat and boots are perfect for paper piecing so, of course, I indulged. The patterned papers are from the Echo Park Walk in the Park paper pad and the image is layered onto Blue Raspberry card stock. I used the new Photo Corners Die-namics to cut out the blue patterned paper and added one of the corners to the top left corner of the image as fun accent. The Mini Monarch Border Die-namics was perfect for cutting out some Hot Fudge card stock to accent the horizontal strip. I finished the horizontal strip with some Caribbean Teal twine. The layout is FMS24 from Freshly Made Sketches blog.

I couldn't resist adding a couple coats of clear glaze pen to the puddle to make is shiny. Isn't it purty!!!

On the inside I stamped the image again with teal ink then added the sentiment onto the Sour Apple card stock strip.

MFTeaser - Friends are like Rainbows

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

My card today is quite fitting. I used the new Umbrella stamps and Die-namics set and I was creating this card yesterday as we were under a severe storm and tornado watch. If you know me, you know I'm a total weather wimp...it scares me! But luckily my BFF Dana knows me all too well and stayed on the phone with me for a couple of hours during the height of the storms. She basically kept me sane...thank you for being my rainbow! Thankfully we were spared from the worst weather, but my thoughts go out to everyone who was affected by the severe storms and tornados the past few days.
Pin It
So I made this card in honour of our friendship. The Umbrella Die-namics die is so fun with the different layers. I cut it out of patterned paper from the Paisley Road paper stack and layered the panels onto Hot Fudge card stock. The large circular pink layer was cut out using my Coluzzle (had to blow the dust off of it first) and Razzle Berry card stock. I cut out the orange oval using the Oval STAX set 1 Die-namics. The layout is FTL177 from the Clean & Simple blog.

I added heart accents to both the front and inside of the card using the Hearts a Plenty Die-namics to cut out English Toffee and Blue Skies felt.

The sentiment on the inside could really be changed to "during" the storm in my case, LOL! I used the Rainbow Die-namics to create the bit of rainbow falling into the heart shaped clouds.

MFTeaser - BIG Impact

Welcome to day three of seven fabulous days of MFT teaser!

Today I'm sharing a project I created with this month's Triple Scoop Set, Big Greetings. This is a fun set in typewriter font and covers a range of different occasions. The sentiments are big enough to take center stage on a card, which is how I used it here.
Pin It
I cut out the main panel from Fossil card stock using the Oval Decorative Doily Die-namics and stamped the sentiment with Memento Tuxedo Black. I wanted to highlight the word "BIG" so I stamped it again onto patterned paper and cut it out then added it to the sentiment. I used the largest size of the Oval STAX Set 2 Die-namics to cut out the Hot Fudge oval then embossed it with the polka dots embossing folder. Isn't it wonderful how the new Oval STAX Die-namics layer so perfectly with the oval doilies!!! The patterned papers are from the Bo Bunny Gabrielle collection and the layout is SC374, with a little addition of the horizontal strip, which I cut from Fossil card stock using the Mini Monarch Border Die-namics.

The gorgeous flower was cut out using the Royal Rose Die-namics and I added a brown brad to the center. I few loops of fine hemp cord are the perfect accent behind the flower.

On the inside I stamped another sentiment from Big Greetings and added some pretty scallop photo corners, which I cut out using the Photo Corners Die-namics.

In case you don't know, the Triple Scoop is a full size stamp set which changes monthly, and it's yours FREE with a qualifying order!!

MFTeaser - Butterflies

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

I have a beautiful card today showcasing the previously released Inspired by Butterflies set and the NEW coordinating Inspired by Butterflies Die-namics.

Pin It
This new set of three Inspired by Butterflies Die-namics dies are perfect for cutting out the butterflies in the stamp set. I decided to make a patterned paper butterfly so I pulled out pretty papers from the My Mind's Eye Blush paper pad. The layout is the Deconstructed Sketch 38, but I used the mirror image of the sketch.

I cut the butterfly out of patterned paper then stamped the image with black ink. The polka dot background oval was cut out with the new Oval Stax Set 2 and I layered it over a pink scallop oval which I cut out with the Oval Open Scallop Doily Die-namics.

For the flower accent I used the Royal Rose Die-namics cut from one of the patterned papers.

On the inside I used the Oval Stax Set 2 again to cut out the cream oval, the stamped the butterfly in pink and the sentiment in black.
