Hi there everyone! It's Sweet Sunday Sketch time and Karen has an awesome sketch for us to play with this week. I was feeling a bit rusty because I hadn't stamped in in what seems like forever, but was actually only a little over a week!

Because I was feeling a little rusty, I used some of my favorite stamps, Die-namics, and card stock colors from MFT to get me in the stamping mood. You'll find a complete link list for all of the products I used on my card at the end of this post.

Here's my card:

MFT December Release Rewind - Day 1

Hi everyone! It's time for the first day of the Release Rewind from My Favorite Things! The design team is here to give you one more dose of inspiration before all the new December Release goodies arrive at your door! Make sure you head on over to the MFT Blog for all of today's participating designers.

I have two clean and simple cards to show you today that use the new Whimsical Wishes from Lisa Johnson Designs. I literally whipped these cards up in about 30 minutes.....a FIRST for me. I love the background-building possibilities with this set. And the sentiments are fab. I couldn't resist a couple of the new colors either. You'll find a complete link list at the bottom of this post.

Here is the first card. The color combo here is Wild Wisteria and Blueberry.

MFT December New Product Launch - Giraffe Background & Zebra Background

Hi there everyone! The time has finally come! It's release time at My Favorite Things! Everything you've seen peeked over the last five days is now available for purchase in the MFT Boutique! We've got one more round of inspiration for you so make sure you head on over to the MFT Blog for a direct link to each designer!

My cards focus on the new Giraffe Background and Zebra Background. You know how I LOVE the background stamps. I haven't missed buying patterned paper because I can create my own fun backgrounds with the plethora of designs that MFT offers. I'll keep the chit chat to a minimum and get right to the cards.

First and foremost, my philosophy is that you can use any color you wish with a background. Have fun and experiment. I chose to go neutral with my backgrounds instead of a dark brown (Giraffe) or black (Zebra) because I CAN ;) The color combo I used on both cards is Kraft, Primitive White, Peach Bellini, and Limelight.

Here is the first card. On this card I used the Giraffe Background and Go With It. The Mini Hybrid Heirloom Rose is even stamped with the Giraffe Background in Peach Bellini.

And the finished inside:

The second card I made uses the Zebra Background and a sentiment from Friends Like Us. The Mini Hybrid Heirloom Rose and the Leaf-Filled Flourish are both stamped with the  Zebra Background with the coordinating ink.
