MFTeaser Day 3

Hi everyone,

Welcome to day 3 of the MFTeasers in preparation of the release of the new stamp sets which are all due to be released by MFT Stamps this coming Tuesday 6th March.

Today the Design Team are featuring three of the new stamp sets that will be released, these are: Clearly Sentimental About Pets; Big Greetings (which will be March’s Triple Scoop set) and Claire Keay Funny Bunny.

For my first project today I decided to use the Claire Keay Funny Bunny stamp set to create an Easter Gift Box which I created using my new Sizzix Eclips. This is the Tall Box from the Sizzix Eclips Albums, Bags & Boxes cartridge.

After I had created the box, I decorated it using a variety of MFT Die-namics, these include:

• Die-namics Mini Monarch Border
• Die-namics Fresh Cut Grass
• Die-namics Mini Pennant
• Die-namics Mini Wavy Pennants

Stamps: Claire Keay Funny Bunny – MFT Stamps

Paper: White; Green; Abbey Road DP – My Mind’s Eye

Die-namics: Mini Monarch Border; Fresh Cut Grass; Mini Pennant; Mini Wavy Pennants – MFT Stamps

Other: Black Ink; Sizzix Eclips; Sizzix Albums, Bags & Boxes Cartridge; Rhinestones; Foam Tape; Copics

For my second project today I created a card using the new Big Greetings stamp set, this is an awesome sentiment set which can be used for so many occasions. This time round I used a recent sketch challenge from TechnoStampers (TSSC208).

The sentiment is stamped onto the Die-namics Clearly Sentimental Label. The three narrow panels underneath the sentiment uses the larger ribbon from the Die-namics First Class Award Ribbon. I also added photo corners to the two bottom corners of the card using the new Die-namics Photo Corners Die.

Here is the inside of my card. I used two of the new Die-namics which are being released on Tuesday night. Die-namics Mini Monarch Border and Die-namics Photo Corners. I also added one of the sentiments from the Big Greeting stamp set.

It's Story Time!

Happy Monday everyone ... I have a ton of cards to share with you all today. I will also have two more posts to upload throughout the day, so don't forget to come back to find out what is happening over here.

Now I am not going to tell you any stories today ... well not this post anyway LOL. My cards all have characters from fairy tales or books so I figured that was an appropriate title.

All the images used here are digital stamps from The Greeting Farm formerly known as Pink Poison. I really love their Anya & Ian Stamps and have been purchasing a few and when I found out last week that they had these 3 characters available as a digital download I just had to add them to my collection. The only difference is that rather than having to stamp out my image I have to print it out using my computer and printer.

After I purchased these images I printed them all out and colored them and had them sitting on my desk waiting to be made into something. I ended up using them to create cards for various sketch challenges that were posted last week.

The first card posted here uses "Red" from Little Red Riding Hood, I used the Technostampers sketch challenge to create my card. I also used the Stephanie Fizer digital papers.


My second card uses Alice from Alice in Wonderland. For this card I decided to use Mercy's Tuesday sketch challenge. I am very happy with my card although I was unhappy while making this as I broke my Lace Doily punch while I was making it ... so I found an old fiskars one instead I will have to get this one out again soon. And no my punch can't be fixed boo hoo!


My third card ... have you guessed it ... is Dorothy & Toto from the Wizard of Oz. For this one I used last week's Mojo Monday sketch .... did you know that there is a new blog devoted to the Mojo Monday sketch now.

The Alice & Dorothy cards both use paper from the SU East Coast designer paper pack.

My final project to share with you this post is this cute little basket/bag using the top note die .... I used Cornish Heritage Farm's lattice background to create the background on my top note layer.

Here is a side version of my gift basket/bag ... you can see how I sandwiched a bag between the two top note layers to create my project.

Hi I am a little late posting my card for Spiral Whisper's stamp of the week ... my stamp only arrived yesterday hehe. This week the featured stamp is the cute "Funky Snowgirl" stamp, you can get this stamp all this week at a discounted price from Spiral Whisper.

If you want to see some more ideas using this stamp, you can check out what the other design team members did with it on the Spiral Whisper blog.

As I was getting ready to work on my card (I was also checking out the updated blogs on my Google Reader) the sketch for this weeks Technostampers sketch challenge came up so I took it as a sign that I was supposed to use that sketch for this card haha.
