MFT Release Replay....

Hey Crafty Friends! I am stopping in today with the MFT March Release Replay. Today the Design Team is here to share another round of projects using this latest release. There are so many fun new stamps and dies, but I chose to use Bubble Over with Joy. These little bunnies are just so cute!

I created this simple card but masking off and flicking in some green Comics for a little grass. I colored and popped up the bunnies and then stamped the sentiment. I stamped the three bubbles in gray ink and then added some Glossy Accents and glitter on top. I finished the card off with a twine bow.

Check out the MFT Blog for more inspiration for this months MFT Release. Check out the whole release over at MFT by clicking HERE.

Thanks so much for coming by today! Have a great day!

{Concord and 9th} hello friend...

There is a new set from Concord and 9th that I am kinda smitten over. :) It's called Posie Fill-in. Its so fun! It has this fantastic grid for the background and then stamps to fill in for the flowers and different leaves. OR you can get the dies and created pop up flowers and the "friend" sentiment.

So here is my first creation....

I stamped the back with versa fine and then added in the leaves with different greens. Next, I die cut Orange, Pink and Yellow flowers and then added an orange layer in the background. I adore this flower die because there is an option of cutting out the center or leaving it closed so you can stamp the center. The possibilities are endless! I added in the Friend sentiment with black card stock and then did a black glittery hello die to complete the card.

Thanks for coming by today!

MFT Product Launch...

The MFT Release is live! Are you headed to shop? I have one last card to share using the new Pressed Flower set.

Its a very subtle look but I stamped the branch image in a light green all over a piece of cardstock. I used the Bold Stripes Cover Up and die cut the stamped paper. I added that to a white card base and then added a white hello on top of that. Definitely a clean and simple card!

Check out the MFT blog for more release details! Thanks so much for coming by today!

MFT Countdown Day 1....

Today is the last day of the MFT Countdown. All these goodies you have been seeing are going to be available tonight, March 6th, at 8pm CST. I have another card to share showcasing the Celebratory Banner...

I adore this banner as it creates a simple and fun card element. The stitched line lays down and cuts easily anywhere on your card. The banners cut out all at once, which is so nice. I used rainbow copies to color each individual banner. I zig zagged these across the front of the card and then added a simple white "hi" for the sentiment.

Stop by the MFT Blog for a list of stops to make to see all the creations using the new goodies. Stop back by tonight to see one last creation for the March MFT Release. So glad you stopped in today!

I have four cards using pieces from the Hero Arts kit but I have also added in several add-ons. This first card showcases the new Smile Stamp and Cut along with the Bold Graphic Confetti Die....

I did a little ink blending on the background, then added the Confetti die over the top in vellum. I added the "smile" die and sentiments on the card front with a few little dew drops for detail.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Every Which Way Stencil grabbed my attention and, of course, I saw it and thought it needed a rainbow....

I used some Distress Oxides to create the background and then added that gorgeous hello die cut to the front of the card. I grabbed a few more dew drops...well...because I want to use them on every card. :)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I adore the Hello There sentiment from the kit stamp set. I inked it up with a Hero Arts Ombre ink pad and then colored over the shadow with a black pen just for a different look.

I used the confetti image from the kit stamp set in a light gray in the background and then went back in with one of the stars inked up in black. I added a couple mats under the sentiment and then popped it up on fun foam to finish off the card.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Finally my last card...

I used the Alphabet Window Fancy Die with a pice of alcohol inked up yupo paper. I love all the color in this. This die would make the best teacher card so I added the "thank you" die in black cardstock.
