MFT October Creative Challenge - Cork

Hi there everyone! It's time for the October Creative Challenge from My Favorite Things! This month the MFT Design Team was challenged to use the Cork Sheets that are offered in the MFT Boutique. I forgot how fun cork is to use while creating! Make sure you head on over to the MFT Blog for direct links to each participating designer.

MFT's cork sheets are so versatile. First and foremost, they can be cut with any of our Die-namics with ease. They can also be stamped, painted, misted, etc. For one of my cards I sponged a pattern with the Moroccan Tiles Stencil and Sweet Tooth Pigment Ink and it looks awesome!

There is a complete link list at the bottom of this post.

Here is the first card. I love the look of stenciling on the cork.



Here is my second card. On this card I used the cork with my favorite Mini Hybrid Heirloom Rose and Leaf-filled Flourish and they cut and rolled BEAUTIFULLY. I also used a different background stamp on each circle. Background stamps are my favorite stamps. I love having the ability to make any pattern combination with the plethora of background choices from MFT.

Very Happy Crochet Birthday {SSSC242}

Hi there everyone! It's Sunday and that means it's time for Karen's Sweet Sunday Sketch! I was a rebel again this week and flipped the sketch on its side. I also left off the little round element because everything I tried just didn't fit with my card.

I used this week's sketch to make a birthday card for my Mother-in-law. I chose the colors based on the blanket I am currently in the process of crocheting for her. The colors I used are Olive, Grapesicle, and Primitive White. The other MFT products I used on my card are Fine Check Background, Linen Background, Mini Hybrid Heirloom Rose, Leaf-Filled Flourish, Rectangle STAX, and Horizontal Stitched Strips.

Here is my card:


You can see a little more of the blanket in this picture. It's got a scalloped edge ;)

Jingle All the Way {SSSC241}

Hi there! It's time for Karen's Sweet Sunday Sketch! We have a TERRIFIC sketch for you to play along with this week.

I went the winter route with my card today. I'm diggin' these new Pierced Snowflake Die-namics from My Favorite Things. They are so beautiful. I've paired them with the Wood Plank Background, Plaid Background Builder, and Pinstripe Background. The colors I used are Steel Blue, Pink Lemonade, and Sweet Tooth.

Here is my card:
