Hello!

Hi everyone,

I am back again today with another MFT card to share with you. This time for this week’s Wednesday Stamp Club sketch over on the MFT Stamps Member Forum of SCS.

This week I used the MFT Stamps Fred Bear - Oopsie Daisies to create my card. I just love this image!

I changed my card from a rectangle to a square so I had plenty of room to fit all the elements I needed to add from the sketch.

On the outside of my card I used three MFT Die-namic dies:

• Die-namics Say What Die & Stamp Set
• Die-namics Dizzy Border
• Die-namics Butterflies

Here is the inside of my card, I stamped Fred Bear and one of the sentiments from the set. I also added the Die-namics Dizzy Border along the top portion of my card.

To play along with us this week all you need to do is follow the sketch, upload your creation to SCS using the keyword MFTWSC11. Join us this week in the MFT forum for lots of chatter and fun! Be sure to check out Kim's Blog, she will have a full list of all the designers participating in today's challenge!

Today the MFT Design Team are featuring the à la mode You Mean The World To Me stamp set. I just can’t get enough of the à la modes.

For my card I used a recent SCS sketch challenge. I used the MFT Die-namics Say What Die for my sentiment.

Here is the inside of my card, using another of the sentiments in the set. The sentiment is actually a long one but I cut it apart so it would fit inside the circle of the Die-namics Sweet Stack Labels die.

March!

Hi everyone and happy Sunday!

My project today is my calendar page for March using the MFT Stamps Pure Innocence – Daffodil stamp set. This is one of 12 Pure Innocence stamps which represent the flowers of the Month …. March’s flower is the Daffodil.

The PI’s dress has been paper pieced. I used 4 MFT Die-namics to create this calendar page. I wanted to recreate the daffodil in my flowers so I used the the smallest flower in the new Die-namics Upsy-Daisy set and the smallest of the Die-namics MINI Rolled Roses. I also used the Die-namics Dizzy Border die. And finally the Die-namics Say What Die & Stamp Set

Sympathy!

Happy Saturday everyone!

It's challenge time with the "crazies" over on the the Crazy 4 Challenges blog. This week our challenge hostess Silke Ledlow has given us another fun challenge. International Earth Day is next week, so our challenge is to create a card project that has a tree on it.

My card today is actually a sympathy card using the new Paper Pretties Sympathy set! This is the type of stamp set that I am sure we all wish we never have to use, but unfortunately there are always times when you do need a set like this one.

I kept my card fairly simple! I got a new pad of designer paper recently and found this one with the tree which I thought would make a great sympathy card. I added some tiny rhinestones to the large flowers on the tree for added interest.

Don't forget to check out the rest of the “Crazies” cards over on the Crazy 4 Challenges blog and also their individual blogs for more details.

Happy Easter!

Hi everyone,

I have an Easter card to share with you today using the new MFT Stamps One Sweet Chick stamp set. I paper pieced the little girls dress using some red designer paper.  I used the MFT Die-namics Dizzy Doily die to layer my image.

Here is the inside of my card using one of the sentiments included in the set. I also added the little chick beside the sentiment, this is a single stamp so can be used anywhere you wish. I added the MFT Die-namics Dizzy Border along the bottom portion of my card.

Blues!

Hi everyone,
It’s challenge time with my friends over on the CCEE Stampers challenge blog. This week our hostess Joanne Grzelak, has given us another fun challenge. 
Joanne says we are all entering a time of bright blue skies (for us, spring…. for Hoots(that’s me), fall), so our challenge this week is to create a monochromatic card with BLUES (neutrals allowed).
For my card today I used one of Alota Rubber Stamps new mini stamps, this one is the Mini Windmill. I used the spotlight technique with this image. I stamped it twice onto white card, one I cut into a rectangle shape and the other I punched out just the windmill use one of my circle dies. I colored the windmill blue (and a little green too … but you need blue to make green right!).
The pleated strip along the bottom portion of my card was created using MFT Die-namics 3/8" Rosette die.
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. You can also see more details of their creations on their individual blogs:

Thank You For Bee-ing You!

Hi everyone,

I am back again today with another MFT card to share with you. It’s time for this week’s Wednesday Stamp Club sketch over on the MFT Stamps Member Forum of SCS.

For my card I used MFT Stamps new Claire Keay - Just Bee Yourself stamp set. As bees are normally yellow and black, I decided to keep with that color theme for my card. The bee is attached to my card using an action wobble so that when you touch the bee it moves.

I added the new MFT Die-namics Dizzy Border to the middle panel at the top of my card.

Here is the inside of my card using one of the sentiments included in the stamp set. I used the Die-namics Dizzy Border along the bottom edge of my card and also the Die-namics Sweet Stack Labels die to use for my sentiment.

To play along with us this week all you need to do is follow the sketch, upload your creation to SCS using the keyword MFTWSC10. Join us this week in the MFT forum for lots of chatter and fun!
