It’s Pure Innocence!

Hi everyone,

I have two more MFTeasers to share with you all today in readiness of the MFT Stamps new release to be held this coming Wednesday 3rd February.

Today the MFT Design team are featuring the “Pure Innocence” range, there will actually be 3 Pure Innocence stamps sets that will be released this week!

For my first card, I have used “Blooming Good Day”, I used the copic airbrush and a scallop oval scrap to create the sky. I also paper pieced the girls dress.

The layout of this card using the Mojo Sketch challenge from 18th January.

Here is the inside of my card, using the sentiment also included in this set.

Stamps: Blooming Good Day – MFT Stamps

Paper: White; Orange; DP – Basic Grey

Other: Black Ink; Oval Nestabilities; Grosgrain Ribbon; MS Spring Border Punch; Orange Candy Dots; Circle Punches; Foam Tape; Copic Airbrush; Copics

For my 2nd project today I used the new “Make The Grade” set and decided to alter a mini lunch tin. Because the tin had purple and pink trims I used this purple/pink designer paper, normally these colors would be the last colors I would use when creating something school related.

Here is another view of the front of the tin at a different angle. The ruler on the right side of the tin is actually a button.

And finally the inside of my tin, I used the sentiment that is also included in this stamp set. I filled the tin with colored pencils etc.

Don't forget! The MFT February Guest Designer Challenge - Think Spring! Your chance to win all the stamp sets for the March release and to join the design team for the March Release! You can find all the details here.

Hoo- Ray!

Hello and Hoo-Ray!

It’s time for another CCEE Stampers challenge today!

This week our challenge is a supply challenge. Tosh who is the October Challenge Hostess sent each of us this cute little mini lunch tin with the instructions to decorate and fill! Not too hard :)

I used the stamps and designer paper from this months MFT Stamps Kit of the month called Thinking of Hoo! Of course anyone who knows me knows I love owls so of course I couldn’t wait for my kit to arrive.

I stamped the owl and speech bubble onto MFT Stamps White Perfect Paper Panels and cut them out and attached them over the designer paper that I covered my tin with using foam tape.

 

Here is the inside of my tin. I lined my tin with the same designer paper that I used on the front of the tin and added the speech bubble and sentiment to the lid. I filled my tin with chocolate kisses … that was the easiest part hehe!

Well after playing with the owl set to create my tin, I just couldn’t stop there. I just had to make a card using the items from the kit. I used the same designer paper as I decorated my tin. The kraft scallop card was also included in the kit as was the wide brown ribbon.

Don’t forget to check out the CCEE Stampers blog (goes live 12 AM EST) to see the rest of the creations the CCEE Stampers created this week.

Oh before I go ….. with the holiday season fast approaching and everyone getting very busy the CCEE Stampers have decided to take a little break from our challenges. So today’s challenge will be our last until after Christmas. Have no fear we will be back in January ready to play again.

Let’s Picnic!

Today is the start of the MFTeasers …. MFT Stamps will have 3 new stamps to release after the release party this Wednesday 3rd June.

For my first project today I have a card using the new "who’s that girl” set for this month which is called “Let’s Picnic”.

I paper pieced the dress and the picnic blanket. Each of the food items are individual stamps which I stamped and cut out and then attached to the picnic blanket … I love how they are all individual as this gives you more options. Of course you can’t have a picnic without ants ….. right! so I stamped the ants at the bottom of the picnic blanket.

For my second project I decided to decorate a tin using this set … the colors and paper piecing are similar to the card I created using this set which I featured on Sunday.

Here is another view of the outside of my tin. I used designer paper to wrap around the bottom of my tin and grosgrain ribbon to go around the edge of the lid … I also added a bow.

And now for what’s inside my tin …. you can’t have a picnic without ants right!!!!!!!! Just wouldn’t be the same *giggle*. Anyway I remembered buying these plastic ants many years ago so I figured it would be fun to use them in my tin. Now this tin would be a great addition to the picnic hamper cause if you discover there are no ants where you go picnicking you at least have your own you can use hehehehehe!

Would you like the chance to win this month’s “One-Click Collection” of stamp sets that will be released this Wednesday 3rd June. Head on over to the MFT Member forum to find out details on the new MFT “One-Click Contest”, some lucky person will be a winner!

Don’t forget that the My Favorite Things release party will be held on Wednesday, June 3rd from 8-10 PM EST over on the MFT Member Forums.

My Paper Dolls!

Hi again!

Yesterday I shared a card with you using the new "Dress Up Hanna" set that will be released by Hanna Stamps after their release party on Monday night 2nd March. Today I have another project to share with you using this stamp set. As I have mentioned before I love paper doll stamps .... and I love this set. Isn't Hanna looking gorgeous!!!!!!

I created a magnetic paper doll set. I stamped all the images onto sheets of good white paper and after coloring my images I layered this onto thin magnet sheets and cut out all the pieces. I also decorated the tin to hold the collection of paper dolls.


Here is the inside of my paper doll tin, it isn't the greatest photo but it was the best I could get. I think you get the idea though. I made two Hanna paper dolls and stamped the dresses on plain paper as well as designer papers.

You're a Doll ... Let's Blog Hop!

Hi everyone and welcome to my blog ... I hope you are all enjoying our MFT blog hop today. If you didn't hop onto my blog from Cindy Haffner's blog then you might want to go back to Kim's blog so you can start at the beginning.

My MFTeaser today is another project using the new Isabelle Paper Doll set which is to be released later today (Wednesday 3rd December) by MFT Stamps.

I just love paper dolls so was very excited when I discovered that MFT Stamps was planning on releasing this set. I decided to create a Paper doll set that could be kept all together in a altoid tin.

First I covered the tin, and then I stamped Isabelle & the dog onto white card, cut them both out and attached these to the front of the tin. I computer generated the sentiment and attached it to the middle of the flowers that I attached to the front of my tin.

I also attached a handle to the side of my tin to make it easier for a little girl to carry it around.

I then stamped two paper dolls and all the clothes onto white photocopy paper, colored them and attached these all to adhesive magnet sheets. Once I had cut everything out I placed them inside the tin. Being magnetic the dolls and clothes attach themselves to the tin so they don't fall out and you can place the clothes onto the doll and again they don't fall off.

You can even place one of the pieces of clothing onto the front of the tin if you want to dress that doll up too.

Here is another view of the inside of my paper doll tin.

My Favorite Things (www.mftstamps.com) is having a New Release Cocktail Party tonight Wednesday, December 3rd from 9-10 p.m. Eastern time. This month there are THREE new sets being released including a TOTE-ally awesome Who's that Girl set!

Head over to the MFT forum on www.splitcoaststampers.com to find out all the details and to find out how YOU can be the next MFT Guest Designer. We hope to see you there on Wednesday night.

Well now it is time for you to hop off my blog and continue on the blog hop by hopping onto Jessie Rone's blog. Hope you enjoy your journey and thanks for visiting.

Tricking the Tooth Fairy!

I am still playing with Melanie Muenchinger's "What's in your tin" sets ... these are so fun to play with and so easy to use to decorate those little altoid tins. This set is avail from Gina K Designs.

Now I liked the ides of a tin for kids to leave their teeth in when they fall out so that the tooth fairy can easily come and collect it and replace it with money ... so much easier then when my kids were little and you used to leave it in a glass of water or under the pillow!

My problem is though that I don't have little kids anymore ... my children are adults and as yet I don't have grand kids either .... so why would i need a tin for the tooth fairy. Then this morning while chatting to a friend and creating another tin ... I remember about those fun teeth lollies that you can get here .... not sure if you guys get them up in the US or not ... but they have been around for years here so I figured why not make a tin for the tooth fairy and place one or two of those teeth lollies (candy) in the tin and see if the tooth fairy will come to me ... bwahahaha!

Here is my tin opened with the teeth lollies (sweets or candy... whatever you call them where you live) .... I heard recently that the price for one tooth is quite high these days ... well there are lots of teeth here so I should make a fortune ;)

I used the label stamp from this set to create my label for the top and inside of my tin .... but for this particular tin I decided to stamp on the back of my DP and used that as a guide to cut around .... so that my DP was all DP with no stamped borders .... I like how I have so many options with these sets.

I surfed to find a template of a tooth as I don't have a stamp of one (another hole in my stamp collection hehe). Oh and I even stamped thanks on the inside of the tin for when the tooth fairy leaves me all that money ... hahaha!

Life is Sweets!

Here is another tin I created using the "What's in Your Tin" sets designed by Melanie Muechinger and available through Gina K Designs. This time round I decided to make a lolly/sweet tin which would be suitable to give to someone.

To decorate my tin I started with the pretty in pink DP in the new Designer Prints Pack ... I stamped one of the labels from the set onto my pink DP and cut it out around the edge of the stamped image. I stamped the sentiment towards the top of the label so I had room to add my prima flowers which I embellished with raindrop accents.

I attached ribbon to the side of the lid and added some of the larger rain drops around the side of the base for something different.

Here is the inside view of my tin with the goodies/sweets! As you can see I stamped "guilt-free goodies" but then crossed out the guilt portion using a black pen .... I figure it I was giving these to someone ... they would classify as free goodies ... right!
