Teasers Day 7 - Pep Rally!

Now that we've teased and tempted you all week long, it's almost time for you to shop for your favorite Brand Spankin' New products from MFT. But first... it's time for our Die-namics Feature and Pre-Release Pep Rally!

Our Design Team has been busy creating jaw-dropping and inspiring projects for you, and we've saved the best for last. We've taken an in-depth look at this month's Die-namics, while re-visiting the amazing sets being released tonight at 10 PM EST RIGHT HERE in the MFT Boutique. And while we are at it, how about we make your life even easier with a "cheat sheet" of all that's new?  Head over to the MFT Blog to print out a shopping list.

 
I wanted to create a simple, elegant thank you card that focused on those AMAZING Oval Dainty Doily Duo Die-namics (try saying that three times fast!) I just love all the details in this Die-namics range! I've paired the Die-namics with the new Finishing Flourishes set. I stamped the background and also stamped the panel behind my sentiment. A little edge sponging ties it all together and I used a big satin bow for a rich feel.

The papers on this card are Madame Boutique by Kaisercraft.

Teasers Day 6 - Purrfect

Yippee, it's Pure Innocence day! I just love these little cuties from MFT, and the one I have used today, Purrfect, might be my favourite ever! I'm a total cat person, we have two very spoiled "fur babies" so this stamp was begging to be inked up.

I've used this fun kraft based designer paper so I could add lots of pop with solid cardstock and accessories. The image was coloured with copics and cut out leaving a little border. My sewing machine is on the blink (eek!) so I pierced a border around the base layer.

Inside my card I have curved the sentiment on my clear block to make it fit within the confines of the layer - it was too large otherwise.

Making Way for Baby...

Kiwi stampers....I'm having a HUGE clean out of my stamping supplies. I have a bunch of Stampin' Up! sets (including some current sets and punches) Hero Arts, Inkadinkado, SU punches and other items for sale on TradeMe. Most sets are barely used, with maybe one or two stamps having been inked. There are quite a few brand new sets as well.

Once everything sells, I'll have a few hundred more listings go up - we're making room for our bundle of joy! If you'd like to sneak a peek, you can visit my listings here. Punches in particular are selling fast and some stamp sets have already gone this morning.

For my international readers, thanks for putting up with my advertising! *hugs*

Thanks for stopping by!

 

Teasers Day 5 - Girl Talk

It's time to show off the new, sassy a la mode stamps out this month! I've used Girl Talk for my card, she's adorable with her not-so-little iPhone!

I sponged the layers of my edges rather than matting, and kept everything off kilter for a fun layout! You'll spot the gorgeous Botanical Beauty Die-namics again, I just love that huge flower!

Teasers Day 4 - Vertical Greetings

It's day four of teasers for the upcoming MFT release, and I think this day is fast becoming my favourite of the month! Today we're previewing the stamp set and Die-namics combos, which I always LOVE!

I have a card for you using Vertical Greetings - this is my must have pick for the month, love the Die-namics and I love the stamps!

I made a long and tall card to highlight the Vertical Greetings. The card front measure 3.5" by 5.5". I've used some Basic Grey paper in a blue and brown colour scheme - I love these colours for masculine cards.

Inside my card I've used another awesome sentiment from the set! When I adjusted the colours on this it made my stamping look patchy - it looks much better in real life!

Teasers Day 3 - Kiss Me Goodnight

We're almost halfway through MFT teasers already - this release is amazing, as always! Today I have a giftbox decorated with the GORGEOUS Botanical Beauty Die-namics and a sentiment from Clearly Sentimental about Romance. This would be a great little Valentine's treat!

That sentiment was just perfect for pairing with some Hershey kisses! I made a vintage glittery flower using a few steps. I first cut the flower in cream cardstock, scrunched and sprayed with chocolate glimmermist. The edges were inked with distress inks and I layered on the sparkle using stickles, larger flecks of glitter and small rhinestones. The Botanical Beauty Die-namics really has that WOW factor!

If you look closely, you'll see a hint of the new Monarch Border Die-namics cut from vellum and peeking out from under the lace.

Teasers Day 2 - Up Up and Away

Up, Up and Away is a gorgeous stamp set from My Favorite Things, and this month it's getting a new life with matching Die-namics! I just loved creating a little scene with this wonderful pairing!

For my card I cut out the hot air balloons, then stamped the images on the die cuts. I coloured with copics and used pop dots to layer them on my backing piece. This was cut with the new Vertical Greetings Die-namic which you'll see more of later in the week! My focal layer was sponged and clouds were stamped with Antique Linen distress ink. I've also added some felt clouds with the Flat Bottomed Clouds Die-namics.

Inside I've used paper scraps, stitching and a sentiment from the set to finish off the card.

WSC 57 - Fill my Heart

Whew - hubby fixed my camera! Just in time for WSC 57! I took this one in a reasonably clean and simple direction after being initially scared of that zig zag panel!

I've used the adorable PI- Fill My Heart With Joy.

I've paper pieced the little outfit on this cutie, and coloured the lamb with warm gray copics.

I've kept the inside layout really clean too. The large heart is the Layered Hearts Die-namics.

Be sure to check out Kim's blog for all the designers playing along this week - you won't want to miss their gorgeous creations!

We're kicking off Feburury in style, with the first day of My Favorite Things teasers!

Today we have the newest in the Who's That Girl line - Let's Chat!

This set has such a lovely large image, it makes a stunning focal point! I've paper pieced and coloured the image with Copics. You can see just a peek of the new Monarch Border Die-namics behind my layers.

Inside my card I've used the Monarch Border Die-namics again, and also the very cool Chat Bubbles Die-namics!
