MFT January Countdown Day 3...

Today is a fun day over at MFT....because....new rainbow dies and unicorn stamps!  Whoop!

Check it out...

To create this card, I did a little ink blending in the background so I would have a light cloud background. I die cut the clouds and rainbow all in white and then colored the bows with copies.  I used those same topics to color up the unicorn in fun rainbow fashion.  Last, I added in the sentiment and popped up the unicorn and rainbow dies on foam tape.  

Release Day is Tuesday, January 8th at 8am CST so you have time to create that wishlist before shopping day!  :). 

Head over to the MFT Blog to see more peeks of the new release.  Thanks so much for coming but today.  Come back for Day 2 tomorrow.  Have a great day!

MFT January Countdown Day 4....

Day 2 of the MFT January Release Countdown starts today.  There are lots of new goodies to see today.  Remember these are all peeks this week and everything that you see will be available on Tuesday, January 8th at 8am CST over at the My Favorite Things Shop.  

I am using 4 new items on today's card.  

Lots of Hearts Die-namics

Spin and Slide Channels Die-namics

Slider Elements

PI So Much Love Stamp Set

These things combined created this clean and simple card...

To create this card, I die cut the font card panel with the longest Spin and Slide Channel.  I added the slider elements to small white circles and then attached the other side to the back of each heart die cut.  

I added the entire card front to a white card base with foam tape so the slider elements could move freely.  Last, I used a sentiment from the new PI set which you will see more of a in a couple days.  Easy peasy and clean and simple!  :)

Stop over to the MFT Blog to see more of today's peeks.  Thanks for coming by today!  Have a great day!

MFT January 2019 Release Countdown...

You guys.  I loved Christmas.  It's my favorite holiday.  But now we are on to my next favorite for card making.  Valentines.  I love pink and red.  I love clean and simple cards with a heart.  Or some stripes.  I just love the possibilities of the Valentine card.  This MFT Release has some Valentines stuff.  And I love.  :)

So I have the most clean and simple little treat gift today.  I used theses new supplies to create this nugget treat....

Treat Tag Die-namics

Nugget Label, Window & Frame Die-namics

Sweet Celebration Stamp Set

Nugget Trio Shaker Pouch.

The possibilities are endless when it comes to this Nugget Box.  Colors, Stamps, make it on a card, make for place settings....the ideas go on and on.  I wanted to share just a quick and simple treat box made out of all pink.  I die cut 3 nugget labels and then added that adorable heart on the center of each label.  They were so easy to wrap the Hershey's nuggets.  I finished off the treat box with red ribbon and some red twine.  

These definitely can be simple or decorated up so easily!  The rest of the MFT Design Team will have lots more to share.  Head on over to the MFT Blog to see more!

Thanks for stoping in today.  Come back again tomorrow for another countdown day!

Hooray!!

I had to stop in right quick and share my little party treats. We had a New Years Eve Party and I wanted to make a little treat for the kids.  These were SO easy to make!

I used the MFT set called Uncorked to create these super easy tags.  I die cut 12 tags and stamped the bottom word with Gold Delicata Ink.  Then moved up and stamped the top 2 in black in.  

I filled the bags with Hershey's kisses and a little horn noise maker.  I was SO glad that we didn't pass these out until midnight because there were definitely loud!  :)

I finished off each bag with a black ribbon and curled each tail.  I was happy they turned out so cute but they were just so easy to make!

Thanks so much for stoping in today!  Happy New Years!  

Altenew Build-A-Flower: Hyacinth Release Blog Hop...

There is a gorgeous new Build-A-Flower today over at Altenew.  The Hyacinth!

I am joining in this hop today with the girls at Altenew.  You can check out the full blog hop list below.  This new build-a-flower is so easy to line up and stamp.  And it makes for an easy clean and simple card.  I have 2 of those to share with you today!

Here is my first card...

To create this card, I stamped the stem in 2 shades of green and then the flower in 3 shades of purple.  The yellow centers stamped to perfectly in yellow.  I kept this a one layer card by stamping the sentiment from More Than Words set along the bottom.  I added the card front to a card base.  I lined the edge of the card base with black and white striped washi to give it a little extra detail. 

Here is the layering guide for the stamp set.  I love how easy it is to line up!

To create this next card, I used the third step stamp of the hyacinth to make a soft background.

I covered the card panel with the details hyacinth image using a light gray ink.  I went in and blended a little more of the ink around the edge of the panel.  Next. I die cut the thank you in coral and added it to the card front.  I attached a few dew drops on the card front too, for a little extra detail.  

Here is the bundle for this gorgeous new Build-A-Flower....
