MFTeaser - Give it a Whirl

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

Today I'm sharing a fun card I made using the new Fred Bear and the Pinwheel. Doesn't he look like he's having sooooo much fun! I picture him in a field with a summer breeze blowing.

I stamped him with Memento Tuxedo Black and coloured him with copic markers. I paper pieced the pinwheel with one of the patterns from the My Mind's Eye Life of the Party paper pad. Check out that gorgeous big tag...that was cut out of Blue Raspberry card stock using the new Traditional Tags STAX Die-namics. I used the Fresh Cut Grass Die-namics to cut out two green polka dot grass layers for him to walk through.

Here are the new Hexagons Die-namics again...I ❤ them! I cut out two base hexagon strips from Hot Fudge card stock and adhered them to the Fossil card base. Then I cut out the inside pieces from patterned paper and layered them onto the base hexagons. I used an extra patterned hexagon folded over the top of the tag under the button.

BFF {MFTWSC74}

It's time to get sketchy with the MFT Wednesday Stamp Club and sketch 74.

I used the fun Girly Graphic Tee stamps and Die-namics set, and made a card for my BFF Dana. And I used her favourite colour, orange. The papers from the My Mind's Eye Stella Rose Mabel paper pack were perfect for this card.

I cut out the t-shirt twice, once from cream card stock and again from Orange Fizz card stock. Then I cut off the sleeves, around the neck, and the hem from the cream shirt and glued it onto the orange one. I combined a few stamps from the set to create my sentiment and inked the letters with Memento Rich Cocoa, but I inked the heart with Memento Potter's Clay. Then I covered the heart in orange Stickles, and once that dried I coated it with glossy accents. I used the circle STAX 1 & circle STAX 2 Die-namics to cut out the background circles then stitched them together. I used the little open scallop strip Die-namics to cut out the Hot Fudge card stock strip and added some orange rhinestones for a little bling. The Tangy Orange card stock layer below the striped piece adds a touch of contrast and the strip of hot fudge ribbon is topped with a corduroy button.

Here are all the sketchy details:

There's a prize each week for one participant, chosen at random. You may use any stamps and supplies that you wish. Each week a keyword is assigned to the sketch, and this week's keyword is MFTWSC74.

MFTeaser - Miss You Already

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

Today the design team is showcasing Who's That Girl? Godspeed. It's perfect for the military man (or woman) in your life.

On the front of the card I used the girl image and paper pieced her dress with one of the patterns from the My Mind's Eye Indie Chic Saffron paper pack. The layout is Jen's May Sketch For You To Try...I'm squeaking in under the wire this month.

I used the new Notched Border Die-namics die to cut out the grey strip under the image, then saved the "negative cut" and used it a little lower on the card. I stitched a sentiment tab, which I cut out using one of the Mini Tabs Foursome Die-namics dies. I paired the patterned paper with Pink Lemonade card stock.

On the inside I used the other image from the set and another sentiment, along with the fabulous new Hexagons Die-namics...swoon!

Here are the details about the upcoming release on June 5 at 10 PM EST:

• You can attend the New Release Party on June 5 from 8-10 PM EST HERE in the MFT forum, where you can enjoy fun, games, and PRIZES!

Best Things in Life {MFTWSC73}

It's time to get sketchy with the MFT Wednesday Stamp Club and sketch 73.

I used one of the amazing sentiments from the Vertical Greetings II Stamps and Die-namics set for my card today. I love how these sentiments make you see things differently in life...they're so inspiring!

I chose patterned papers from the Teresa Collins Fabrications Canvas pad and paired them with Fossil and  Whip Cream card stock. I used the Vertical Greetings II Die-namics die to cut out the sentiment panel then used the woodgrain fence Die-namics die to cut out the fence. The leafy flourish Die-namics was perfect for an accent behind the flowers, which I cut out using the flower and leaf trio Die-namics.

Here are the sketchy details:

There's a prize each week for one participant, chosen at random. You may use any stamps and supplies that you wish. Each week a keyword is assigned to the sketch, and this week's keyword is MFTWSC73.

My card is fun and cheery, just like the sweet Pure Innocence Hula Girl I used. She's stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black and coloured with copics. I chose papers from the Cosmo Cricket DeLovely paper pad and used one of them to paper piece her top. Love that little bit of belly she's showing. The image was cut out with the rectangle STAX 1 Die-namics and I used the mini tabs foursome Die-namics to cut out the Lemon Drop tab for the sentiment. By the way, the layout is this month's guest designer sketch challenge and you'll find all the details in this post. You should play along!

Here's the gorgeous Hibiscus Die-namics die cut flower. The impressions in the flower petals and the leaf add so much detail and depth. I also used the Notched Border Die-namics die to cut out the green patterned paper strips. The leaf was cut out of Sour Apple card stock and the background is Razzleberry card stock.

On the inside I stamped one of the sentiments from the Fun in the Sun Sentiments Mini set.
