MFT New Product Launch - Cheetah Background!

Hi there! It's time for the MFT New Product Launch! That means that all of the stamps and Die-namics you've seen peeked all week long are now available for purchase in the MFT Boutique!

Before you run to place your order, why not hop along with the MFT Design Team to find even MORE inspiration using the new sets you've got your eye on? Make sure to head on over to the MFT Blog for a direct link to each designer.

I've got three cards to share with you tonight that feature the new Cheetah Background. If you're a frequent reader of my blog, then you know how much I LOVE the new red rubber background stamps from MFT, and the Cheetah Background will be used again and again on my cards. It's awesome! 

Below each card, you will find a link to all of the MFT products I used on that particular card. Enough of the chit chat. Let's get started!

The first card uses a color combo that I fell in love with after seeing it used on a card Joanne made: Spearmint, Nightshift Blue, and Smooth White. L.O.V.E. these colors together. The Cheetah Background is featured as the main print in the background and on the Mini Hybrid Heirloom Rose. The sentiment is two different stamps from the new Friend Request and was stamped on a Stitched Circle STAX. The beautiful corner element was cut with one of the new Four Corners Die-namics (Free with $60).

I used the same colors on my second card and was once again inspired by Joanne and the frames she's been creating on her cards.

This card uses the Cheetah Background in Spearmint Ink on the Large Hybrid Heirloom Rose. So pretty. I love creating patterned flowers. I also used the new Wildcat Stencil to dry emboss the Spearmint layer. It adds just enough subtle texture. The sentiment is from Simply Fabulous Sayings. The navy stripes were done with the new Striped Background.


The finished inside:






My third card uses the color combination of Nightshift Blue, Primitive White, and Natural. So pretty together. The Cheetah Background is used here as the background and as a print on the Leaf-Filled Flourish. I stamped the Mini Hybrid Heirloom Rose with the Striped Background. The sentiment is from another fave new set, Simply Fabulous Sayings. Oh, and do you see the lacy card stock peeking out from behind the rose? That was made by cutting two of this month's Free with $60 Four Corners Die-namics.
