MFTeaser - Under the Weather

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

Today I've gone a little country with the new Life's Direction stamp set and the Chicken Wire Die-namics. All the new products will be available in the MFT Boutique on May 7th at 10pm EST.

I started with a Whip Cream card base then added a layer of Nightshift Blue. I used the fun Chicken Wire Die-namics to cut out the Whip Cream panel. I used the new Insert It - 3x4 Notepad Die-namics to cut out the Natural panel for the main image.

I stamped the weather vane from Life's Direction using Red Hot Premium Dye Ink and added a Red Hot button tied with Hemp Cord.

Along the bottom I stamped one of the sentiments rom Life's Direction with Steel Blue Premium Dye Ink then created the dividing element by using the Dotted Scallop Border Trio Die-namics to cut out the Steel Blue strip. It needed a little pop of colour though so I trimmed a narrow strip of Red Hot cardstock and added some Star Dust Stickles for sparkle.

On the inside I used the Fishtail Flags Layers STAX Die-namics to cut out the Steel Blue flag then stamped a sentiment from Western Sentiments using Steel Blue Premium Dye Ink. I added a strip of Red Hot just like on the front of the card. I finished the inside by stamping the horse from Life's Direction with Kraft Premium Dye Ink.

MFTeaser - Make a Wish

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

Today is all about our newest stamp designer...our very own Mona Pendleton has designed some amazing products: Dandelion Wishes stamp set, the coordinating Dandelion Stems and Toppers Die-namics, and the Distressed Background Blocks. All the new products will be available in the MFT Boutique on May 7th at 10pm EST.

I used the new Mini Album Square Scallop STAX Die-namics to create the card base from Steel Blue card stock.

Then I set to work distressing the card base by first stamping the circles from Distressed Background Blocks with white chalk ink, then I stamped the chicken wire with Steel Blue Premium Dye Ink. Who am I kidding though, it really wasn't work at all getting this distressed look since all the distressing is built right into the stamps. Sweet! Thanks for DE-stressing the distressing process Mona!

Then I created the main image panel by trimming a rectangle of Sno Cone and stamping it with the chicken wire image from Distressed Background Blocks using Sno Con Premium Dye Ink. Then I used my edge distressing tool to rough it up even more. I used the Dandelion Stems and Toppers Die-namics to cut out the Smooth White cardtsock for the flower. I stamped the stem with Factory Green Premium Dye Ink and stamped the dandelion bloom with Lemon Drop Premium Dye Ink. I used the two bloom images...the first one was stamped off onto scratch paper first to get a lighter yellow for the main impression, then I stamped the second image at full strength yellow, so there's a little definition in the flower.

For the sentiment I used the Label 4 STAX Die-namics to cut out the small Kraft label and stamped a sentiment from Dandelion Wishes with Black Licorice Premium Dye Ink. I added a Steel Blue button tied with Hemp Cord to finish it off.

Make a Wish {MFTWSC122}

It's time to get sketchy with the MFT Wednesday Stamp Club and sketch 122.

I used the brand new Pure Innocence Make a Wish stamp set, which will be available on May 7th at 10pm EST. Because she's facing towards the left I used the mirror image of the sketch so she'd be looking into the center of the card.

I started with a 5 1/4" square card base of Sweet Tooth then added a layer of Black Licorice and a layer of Kraft. The patterned papers are from the Fancy Pants Park Bench collection.

I stamped the girl with Memento Tuxedo Black onto X-Press It Blending Card then coloured her with copic markers. I paper pieced her dress with two contrasting patterns. I used the Circle 1 STAX Die-namics to cut out the Sno Cone circle then I stamped the girl again onto the circle to get the dandelion puffs. I fussy cut around her and adhered her to the circle.

For the horizontal element I used the Scallop Ribbon Die-namics to cut out a strip of Black Licorice then adhered a thin piece of patterned paper along the center.

The sentiment was fun to create using a small size of the Circle 1 STAX Die-namics and Black Licorice Premium Dye Ink. I placed the sentiment on a flower which I cut out using the Perfect Petal Trio Die-namics. I added a loopy Hemp Cord bow behind the flower to help it stand out a little.

On the inside I stamped another sentiment from Pure Innocence Make a Wish.

Here are all the sketchy details:
