MFT Product Launch...

It's time to do some shopping over at MFT! The July release is now available. I have one card to share today using the most adorable little speech bubbles.

I did a watercolor rainbow wash in the background and then simply added in the bold sentiments in black ink. The dies that come with these Birthday Speech Bubbles are a lot of fun. They work to cut out the speech bubbles perfectly, but also the negative of the die, cuts out a stitched border.

Head on over to the MFT blog to see lots more about this release. Thanks for stopping in!

Right at Home Blog Hop...

Hi there crafty friends! I am so excited to joining the design team girls over at Right at Home for the next couple months! Nicole has the most adorable stamps and I am excited to get to play along. This July release has some fun new sets, including the 2 sets I used today, Banner Alphabet and Banner Alphabet Add-on.

To make this card, I did a little Copic Airbrush in the background. I used the banner string stamp across the front of the card, and then added in the banner to say "happy day". I finished the card off with the clouds and sun, after adding in a little grass along the bottom.

I will have some more Right at Home creations this month, so stay tuned! If you stop over to the Right at Home blog you can see more about this months release. A big thank you to Nicole for having me! :)

Moments Inked Newsletter...

So by now, you have lots of fun planner stamps to use with your planner. I thought I would stop in and share a non-planner project for your kiddos. I have 2 and chores are kind of a big deal around here. My kids do best when they have a list....like their mom...and so I thought I would make it more fun and create a colorful chore clip board.

(All supplies are listed at the end of the post.)

First, I used the Headliner Alphabet (my absolute favorite alpha die set) and created a rainbow title on the side.

I used the 3x3 post its, available in the PTI Store, to create to do lists where I can add things that need to be done during the week. I also added in a coordinating initial of their names.

I used the 3x6 post its to create the chore lists. The numbers come in the set, along with the 3x6 lines, called Posted II. The circles are in the Posted set and make the perfect place for the kids to check off their chores.

These post its are so handy to have around. I love the white post its! They are so easy to add color too and coordinate well with your planner colors.

Now I am off to fill this thing out and get the chores going for the day! I appreciate your stopping in! Hope you have a great day!

MFT Release Day 2...

It's Day 2 of the MFT July Release. So many fun things released this month right? I have a fun 2 card combo to share with you today, using the new Happy Birthday To You Die-namics.

For this first card, I did a little color blending with some distress inks and then added in some flicks of water. I love that reaction with the inks. Next, I die cut the sentiment so the white card base would show through. Last, I added in some rain drops for a little extra detail.

For this next card, I used the sentiment cut outs from the first card....

I scored the card front and then die cut the sentiment. I lined up the ink blended sentiment on the card base using Press n Seal, of course, and then added the top, scored card front to the card base.

Here is a quick shot of the 2 card together...

The MFT Blog will have lots more to see so head over there! Thanks so much for stopping in!

Pig Time!

I am stopping in with a CAS card using the new set from MFT called Hog Heaven. I have seen the DT girls using this and I just had to pull out my Copics and play too.

I die cut each piece using those fabulous open dies and the colored each piece. I attempted some shading and even some woodgrain on that little fence. Definitely a quick and simple card with all that fun white space.
