MFTeaser–Pure Innocence

Hi everyone,

I have another couple of MFTeasers to share with you all today in readiness of the MFT Stamps new release, this coming Tuesday 5rh June.

Today the MFT Design team are featuring the “Pure Innocence” range, and this month there will be six brand new Pure Innocence sets to be released … you are going to love them!!!!!! The PI’s to be released include: PI Soldier Boy; PI Soldier Girl; PI Lady Liberty; PI Hula Girl; PI Sprinkler Girl and PI Mouse in the House Blessed Mouse.

For my first card today I used the MFT Stamps PI Sprinkler Girl, this is such a sweet stamp set. I paper pieced the little girls togs that she is wearing. I have used the new Die-namics Square Stax 1 & 2 for the main image and also for the three square panels behind the main image. I have added the Die-namics Hibiscus on the top left hand corner of my card and have added some Pink Sorbet Twine and button in the centre of the flower. The sentiment is stamped onto the smallest tag from the Die-namics Traditional Tags Stax.

Here is the inside of my card. I added two squares which I created using the Die-namics Square Stax 1 & 2 dies.

Paper: White; Pink; Beach Babe DP – Fancy Pants

Die-namics: Square Stax 1 & 2; Tag Stax; Hibiscus – MFT Stamps

For my second card today I used the new PI Soldier Boy. I used a recent Sweet Sunday Sketch challenge (SSSC159) for the layout of my card.

As you can see I have used a number of Die-namics on this card. To start the boy is layered using the Die-namics Square Stax 1 & 2; I have used the Die-namics Notched Border along the bottom of the striped designer paper. I have used the Die-namics File Tab for the sentiment, and finally the Die-namics Fishtail Flags STAX for the top left corner of my card.

I have also added some Cappucino Twine around the square panel.

For the inside of my card I stamped the sentiment onto a panel cut using the Die-namics Fishtail Flags STAX

MFTeaser–à la modes

Hi everyone and happy Sunday! 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 5th June.

The sets being shown today are “à la modes Firecracker” and “à la modes Go for Gold”.

I have two cards to share with you today, for my first card I used the à la modes Firecracker set. For the layout of my card I used the sketch from this month’s MFT Guest Designer Challenge, of course I can’t enter the challenge as I am already on the design team, but I just had to play with the sketch and it is such a cool sketch. You still have time to enter if you haven’t already.

I have used the Die-namics Traditional Tags Stax for my main image, I used one of the larger tags for the width but cut it down as I didn’t need it that long. To keep the embossed border on the end I just scored along the bottom, but it would probably be easier to just put the tag back in the die and get the edge that way. I paper pieced the girls dress using designer paper.

For the sentiment I used the Die-namics Mini Tabs Foursome . The two panels going across the card have been edges with the Die-namics Notched Border. For the star I used the Die-namics Star Stax and added some Lemondrop Yellow Twine through the button on the top of the star.

Here is the inside of my card. I have used one of the stars from the Die-namics Star Stax for my sentiments. I also added the Die-namics Notched Border along the edge of the striped designer panel.

Stamps: à la modes Firecracker – MFT Stamps

Paper: White; Black; Life of the Party DP – Basic Grey

Die-namics: Traditional Tags Stax; Star Stax; Notched Border; Mini Tab Foursome – MFT Stamps

Other: Black Ink; Button; Lemondrop Twine; Foam Tape; Copics

For my second card I used the à la modes Go for Gold stamp set. The Olympics are coming up in July, I love watching all the talented athletes. Of course living in Australia I cheer for the Aussies, so for my card today I have colored the girl using Australian official colors.

I have used a number of Die-namics on my card, first up the Die-namics Notched Border which you can see on the diagonal panel. I have used the Die-namics Mini Tabs Foursome for my sentiment. I have combined the Die-namics Star Stax and also the Die-namics Stacking Stars for all the stars around my image.

Here is the inside of my card, this time round I have used the Die-namics Traditional Tags Stax for my sentiment and image. I have also used the Die-namics Star Stax for the stars.

Hi everyone,

It’s day 4 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 5th June.

Today the Design Team are featuring the Masculine Graphic Tee Die-namics and Stamp set and Vanity License Plate Die-namics and Stamp set.

For my card today I have used the Vanity License Plate Die-namics and Stamp set. Of course I love this new Die-namics and Stamp set, you can create fun messages on your license plate just as you would on those real vanity license plates we see on cars. There are tons of messages you can use with this set, by using the alphabet stamps in the stamp set.  As many of you know I do a rebus swap once a month with a couple of friends and this is a form of rebus too.

The circle underneath the sentiment was created using the Die-namics Circle STAX Set 1 and Die-namics Circle STAX Set 2 . I have also used the Die-namics Notched Border along the edge of the vertical panel. To finish off the card I embellished with some Die-namics Butterflies. I also used some Lilac Twine on my card.

The layout of my card using this week’s MFTWSC74 sketch again, this time turned on it’s side.

It’s also challenge time with the “Crazies” over on the Crazy 4 Challenges blog. Being a new month we have a new challenge hostess which is Silke Kittman. Silke has challenged us to include butterflies on our card/project.

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.

Here is the inside of my card, this time round I used another of the sentiments from the Complimentary Greetings set which we shared with you yesterday. I also added another Die-namics Butterflies.

• You can attend the New Release Party on June 5 from 8-10 PM EST HERE in the MFT forum, where you can enjoy fun, games, and PRIZES!

Today the Design Team are featuring two of the new stamp sets that will be released, these are Clearly Sentimental About Art and Complimentary Greetings (which will be June’s Triple Scoop set).

For my card today I used the Complimentary Greetings stamp set, this is such an awesome stamp set which some fun sentiments on it. I have used the Die-namics Designer Labels 2 Stax for my sentiment. I have embellished my card using the Die-namics Hibiscus, love this new flower die.

Here is the inside of my card. I have used another sentiment from the Complimentary Greetings set. I have again used the Die-namics Designer Labels 2 Stax for my sentiment. The border along the edge of my designer paper is the negative part from the Die-namics Notched Border which is also being released. I love how you can get two different looks from one border die.

Hi everyone,

It’s challenge time over on the Alota Rubber Stamps blog, this time it is Birgit Edblom’s turn to host the challenge.

Birgit has given us a sketch to play with this week, now everyone knows I LOVE sketch challenges

For my card this week I used Alota’s Bugs in Easter Basket. Ok  so I know Easter is well and truly over by now, but when I first selected this image I wasn’t thinking of those Eggs being Easter Eggs, but berries a bit like the other Alota image Bugs full of Blueberries which is what I made the eggs on my card … they are blueberries for today .

Do you want to play along???? you can use any stamps you want, although if you have Alota Rubber Stamps we would love to see them on your cards.

You have until the 15th June to complete this challenge, you can enter as many entries as you wish for a better chance of winning!!! You have a chance of winning some wonderful stamps if you card/project is selected randomly from all the entries received.
