MFT Shop & Hop!

It's time! all those amazing sets and dies we've been seeing the last five days are available now at My Favorite Things! Thank you SO much for all your support and comments over my time as guest designer, it's been a blast and I'm so sad it's over. I've said it before - the MFT team is AMAZING and creating alongside them has been a dream come true.

If you're blog hopping along with us, you will have reached me via the ever-so-talented Melody, if you need to start at the beginning (and you don't want to miss a single project!) you'll want to click over to Kim's blog to start the hop. 

I've saved one last card for you (that's not really true, I have a couple more in the vault that I shared at the release party) and this one is my favourite of all the cards I created for the release. It uses the cute-as-a-button Flopsey Fishing set.
Isn't he adorable? I was a little nervy about colouring him, so I paper pieced and sponged instead. All the layers are sponged and distressed. The papers are from the MME Stella and Rose Gertie collection.  I've used a couple of the new Die-namics again - and see that sentiment layer? I used the new Fishtail Banner for that one too!

I cut two of the plain sided banners, taped them together and used them as a template to hand cut a solid piece for stamping on. If the join doesn't bother you, you could just use them as is. I cut two of the scalloped banners and taped them together to layer my sentiment on - voila, perfect sentiment banner!
Such cute sentiments in this set! I created my flowers with the Perfect Posies die by sponging, distressing, then using my soft piercing mat and the handle of my piercing tool to create an indentation in each petal.

Here are the Die-namics I've used:


Thanks again for stopping by - thanks for all the love, and happy shopping!!!
