Creative Construction....
Hello there! Today I am stopping in with a card for this month's Creative Construction with Blueprints over at MFT. Blueprints feature many innovative designs that make it so easy to add interest to your projects without a lot of unnecessary effort. Frames that feature multiple openings allow you to compartmentalize and feature numerous images and sentiments without the monotony involved in aligning a variety of dies. This month, we’re shining a spotlight on Blueprints that include these fantastic elements.
I have a fun halloween card today, showcasing the frame from Blueprint 29 and the new set called Spooky Sweets.
I die cut 5 frames and stacked them up together for some dimension. For the background, I did a little ink blending on each of the negatives that came out after cutting the frame die. I stamped the sentiment ahead of time too. Next, I adhered that frame panel on the front of the card. After stamping and die cutting all the pumpkins....including a black pumpkin attached behind with foam tape, I added each pumpkin to the frame with more foam tape. This card is definitely a 3D card!
There will be lots more Blueprint Framed creations to see over at the MFT blog. Head over there for a list of links.
Thanks so much for stopping in today! Have a great day!

Moments Inked Newsletter...
Hey there planner friends! I am here today with the Moments Inked Newsletter for Papertrey Ink. I have something fun to share today. I have been seeing lots of foiled planner inserts on Pinterest and I realized how easy it would be to make with some supplies we already have on hand. First off, here is my faux foiled planner insert....
I used the large Basic Page Die, Paper Clippings: Oh Happy Day die with the Gold Foil Adhesive sheets to create this fun look. (All supplies linked below)
Here is a way to make it lay flat, easily and quickly.
I die cut the intricate die and then grabbed the Press n Seal to pick up the die.
I flipped it over and peeled off the adhesive backing, while the main part of the die stayed stuck to the press n seal.
I used a push pin to weed out all the centers of the die, before laying it down to the large basic page. And that is it! Super simple and such a fun, and trendy look!
I thought I would share my set up for next week, while I was at it. I just love the Planner Banner Stamps and die. Such an easy way to keep track of activities.
I used the layout colors for the month of August. There is a page on the front inside cover of your planner that shows all the PTI colors used for each month. For my daughter, I used Berry Sorbet and for my son, I used Simply Chartreuse. A color coordinated system helps keep everything organized for the week.
On a clear dashboard, I have my to do list stamped out on the 3x6 white post it notes, available at PTI.
Next, I have my grocery list ready for the week, as well. And one more shot of the end of the week....
After years of planning, and decorating pages, and using stickers, I have found that I like to keep it simple. I still use this green pencil so my entries are easy to erase if needed. The banners are also removable so I can change things around.
I hope you have enjoyed today's post! I am so glad you stopped in. Hope you have a great week!

MFT Chibi Light Up Card...
Hey there! I am here today with a fun post. A little MFT and a little Chibi. Have you heard of Chibitronics? Its a fun element to add to your card....lights!
I used the Make a Wish stamp set and dies to create this simple card front. I added the Chibi lights in behind to make a circuit that lights up the candles.
The lights lay behind and below each of the flames.
And then with a press of the card front....they light up!
There will be lots more Chibi to see over on the MFT blog! Head over there to learn more about them too! So glad you stopped in today!

I did another impression using all the dies and then cut out the panel with the scalloped stitched rectangle.
