MFTeaser - You + Me

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

My card today uses both of Laina Lambs new sets, Document It - Off the Chart and Journal It - For the Record, along with the new Accent It - Labels and Tags Die-namics.

I started with a card base of Whip Cream then added a layer of Steel Grey and patterned paper from the Bo Bunny Love Letters collection. The layout started out as Mojo272, but I deviated a little with the ribbon placement.

I cut out a rectangle of Kraft cardstock and embossed it with my polka dots embossing folder. Then I used the Accent It - Labels and Tags Die-namics to cut out the Berrylicious, Bubblegum, and Whip Cream cardstocks for the main part of the focal panel. I stamped the "you" and "me" from Document It - Off the Chart with Wild Cherry ink. The plus sign is also from the same set, and I used the smallest size of the Hearts STAX Die-namics to cut out the Wild Cherry Heart.

The word "complete" is part of a sentiment from Journal It - For the Record. I used the Rustic Hearts Die-namics to cut out the patterned paper heart then added a Berrylicious button tied with Hemp Cord. I added a strip of Wild Cherry grosgrain ribbon underneath the Kraft panel then I used the new Keys and Locks Die-namics to cut out the Steel Grey lock and key, and tucked them under the button.

On the inside I stamped another sentiment from Document It - Off the Chart and used the Boy Meets Girl Die-namics to cut out the little Kraft people.

Cheers! Let's Celebrate {MFTWSC105}

It's time to get sketchy with the MFT Wednesday Stamp Club and sketch 105.

Seems I'm still celebrating New Years since I used à la modes Cheers for today's sketch.

I started with a Kraft card base then added a layer of Tangy Orange and patterned paper from the Basic Grey Lucille collection. I used the Circle 1 STAX Die-namics to cut out the two Whip Cream circles and embossed them with the polka dots embossing folder. I used the Dizzy Border Die-namics to cut out the Berrylicious accent and backed it with another strip of Tangy Orange.

For the image, I stamped her with Memento Tuxedo Black onto X-Press It Blending Card and coloured her with copic markers. I couldn't resist paper piecing her gorgeous dress, then I fussy cut around her. I added a couple coats of clear glaze pen to make the champagne flute shiny. I used the Say What? Die-namics to cut out the Berrylicious chat bubble then stamped Cheers! from the set. The Kraft background was embossed with the modern wallpaper embossing folder.

I used the Flower Medley Die-namics to cut out the flower. The base layer is Berrylicious felt (backed with Berrylicious cardstock for added stability) and I topped it with a Tangy Orange button tied with Hemp Cord.

I kept the inside simple by stamping the image again with Memento Potter's Clay then I added another sentiment from à la modes Cheers.

MFTeaser - I Heart You

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

Today is all about hearts with the new Lisa Johnson Designs sets Homespun Hearts and Hearts and Stitches. The new Rustic Hearts Die-namics coordinate perfectly with the hearts in Homespun Hearts.

I created a clean and simple card using these new products, and the layout is FTL221.

I started with a base of Whip Cream cardstock then added a layer of Bubblegum and Kraft. I stamped the stitches from Hearts and Stitches with Versamagic Cloud White ink all around the edges of the Kraft layer. Next I used the small heart background stamp, also from Hearts and Stitches, to stamp the three rows of hearts. The stamp is longer than what you see on my card but I didn't want the hearts to overlap the stitching, so I simply masked the sides of the Kraft layer using two post-it notes. Once the white ink was dry I stamped the sentiment from Homespun Hearts with Memento Tuxedo Black. In hindsight I probably should have used black embossing powder to make it stand out a little more. Doh!

I used the Rustic Hearts Die-namics to cut out three hearts from Bubblegum and Wild Cherry card stocks, then I stamped them with the coordinating stamp from Homespun Hearts. I used MFT Wild Cherry Ink to stamp on the pink heart and Versamagic Cloud White to stamp on the two red hearts. I placed foam tape under the pink heart for a little dimension and finished it with a Berrylicious button tied with Hemp Cord.

On the inside I combined more stamps from Homespun Hearts to created the little scene.
