Bunch of Hearts Flopsey … MFT New Product Tour!

Hi everyone,
It’s release day over on MFT Stamps, which means it is time to join the MFT Stamps Design Team for our New Product Tour! All the new products are available NOW, right HERE, in the Brand Spankin' New category of the MFT Stamps store.

Head on over to the MFT blog so you can go on the tour and see the list of Design Team members and which of the new products they will be showcasing for you today.

Today I am featuring the new Bunch of Hearts Flopsey, isn’t he just so adorable!!!!!  First up my card … I cut Flopsey out and layered him onto the Die-namics Layered Hearts die which is also being released tonight. I love the holes that are in the smaller of the two hearts and for my project today I used Blossom Twine to stitch all away around the outside of the heart.

I have also used the Die-namics Small Scallop Border to divide the two designer papers on the base of my card. The “I Love You” sentiment is stamped on one of the pennants from the new Die-namics Mini Wavy Pennants.

Here is the inside of my card, the sentiment is stamped and layered onto the Ribbons from the Die-namics First Place Award Ribbon. The border along the edge of the heart designer paper is the Die-namics Small Scallop Border. I also used two of the hearts from the Die-namics Hearts a Plenty die.

The box is created using the Die-namics Layered Hearts die. I have created a video on how I made this which you can see below.

Here is another view of the my heart box, this is so easy to make.

Here you can see my box open. The box section part of is created using two pieces of card … 3 7/8 inches square for the lid and 3 3/4 inches square for the base.

Well that is about it from me for today, don’t forget to visit Kim's (MFT Lady) blog so you can check out all the wonderful creations the other MFT Design Team have created.

Hey Buckaroo!

Hi everyone,

It’s time for another Pretties Wednesday Challenge over on the Paper Pretties Blog. This week the challenge is to include brads or eyelets on your card.

For my card today I used Paper Pretties Cowboy Cooper, I just love this little guy! When I was deciding what to do for one of the challenges a couple of weeks ago, I had colored a couple of images using all the grey colors and this was one of them so I decided to make use of that image for my card  today.

As I often use brads on my cards and neglect all those eyelets I have in my stash I decided to use the eyelet option for the challenge today. I used larger eyelets which I added near the bottom of my card and then threaded the twine through the eyelets.

Here is the inside of my card, I used another of the sentiments included in the set.

How to Enter: If you would like to play along with us, all you have to do is create a card/project using the above challenge and upload it to your blog and/or to your SCS Gallery using the keyword PWC187.

Don’t forget to include a link to your card on the Paper Pretties Blog, so everyone can see it too. You don’t have to use Paper Pretties stamps to play, but of course if you have them we would love to see you use them. One random participant will receive a Paper Pretties Stamps set … see the Paper Pretties Blog for more details.

For my project today I created a card, basket and strawberries using the MFT Stamps PI Berry Sweet Stamp set and the MFT Die-namics Strawberry die, both are being release tonight.

Let’s start with my card which is a Slit Latch card, the top and bottom layer of the right side of my card have slits in them so that they interlock together.

Here you can see the slit in the top right corner of the front of my card. the slit goes to the middle point of the card about 1inch in from the edge and on the inside the slit is on the bottom.

I love this little PI’s dress as it resembles a strawberry, this was paper pieced using designer paper.

The image is layered onto the MFT Stamps Die-namics Oval Decorative Doily die. I have also used the new Die-namics Rolled Scallop Flower and one of the pennants from the Die-namics Mini Wavy Pennant die.

Here is the inside of my card, I used one of the sentiments from the PI Berry Sweet stamp set. The oval is from the Die-namics Sweet Stack Labels die and this was layered onto the Die-namics Decorative Doily Duo Die which is another of the new Die-namics to be released tonight.

One of the new Die-namics which is to be released tonight is the Die-namics Strawberry Box. I am so excited that this die is being released it is lots of fun. You can pop a few treats inside the strawberry before closing up the box.

I needed something to hold the strawberries that I created, so I decided to make a basket to hold them.

Here is another pic of my basket so you can see the sides of my basket.

And one more photo so you can see all the strawberries I created in the basket.

Make A Wish!

Hi everyone and Happy New Year! I hope you are all enjoying your weekend.

It’s day 5 of the MFTeasers and I have one more Teaser to share with you! Today the MFT Stamps Design Team are featuring more of the new sets that are to be released by MFT Stamps on Tuesday 3rd January.

The sets being shown today are “à la modes Chocolate Bar” and “à la modes Genie”.

For my card today I used the à la modes Genie stamp set … how cute is she!!!!!! Perfect for birthdays and other occasions!

I have used 5 MFT Die-namics on the front of my card. There is the MFT Die-namics Jumbo Monarch Border. I combined  the MFT Die-namics Mini Wavy Pennants with the pole from the MFT Die-namics Mini Pennant Die, this gives you many more options of the type of pennant you use. I have also used the MFT Die-namics Vintage Flourish. And finally I used the new MFT Die-namics Rolled Scallop Flower, you may notice that this flower is a little fuller then normal, this is because I decided to join two die cuts together before rolling them so I could get the fuller flower .. here is a quick video to show you how I did it.

Here is the inside of my card, using one of the sentiments from the à la modes Genie stamp set. I have used two MFT Die-namics on the inside which are MFT Die-namics Oval Decorative Doily Duo and the MFT Die-namics Jumbo Monarch Border
