MFT New Product Tour!

Hi there!  It's time for the My Favorite Things New Product Tour!  Everything we've teased you with over the last 7 days is now available for purchase in the MFT Boutique!

Head on over to the MFT Blog for a link to each designer!

My daughter is going to a slumber party this weekend so I needed a girly birthday card.  For my card I used the new Life's Direction, Blueprints 3 Die-namics, Dotted Scallop Border Trio Die-namics and a couple loved favorites of mine, Western Backgrounds and Spring Backgrounds.


I stamped the adorable bow from Blueprints 3 with the Houndstooth background from Spring Backgrounds.


Here's the finished inside, stamped with Western Backgrounds.

MFT Teaser Day 6 - Cheerful Blessings

Hi there!  We're at day 6 of Teasers for the My Favorite Things May Release, and today we've got some GREAT things to share with you!  Head on over to the MFT Blog for all the details. While you're there be sure to leave a comment for your chance to win a $75 coupon code to the MFT Boutique!

Okay. Let's get to my card.  I pulled out Blueprints 3 Die-namics, Cheerful Blessings, Peaceful Wildflowers, Wildflowers Die-namics, and Dotted Scallop Border Trio Die-namics and got to work. I also used my favorite Western Backgrounds and Spring Backgrounds for some pattern on my card.

I used one of the Blueprints 3 sketches for my card.  The Houndstooth background from Spring Backgrounds was stamped in Red Hot ink.  The flowers were cut from Smooth White card stock and stamped in Red Hot and Sour Apple inks. The main image sentiment from the AWESOME Cheerful Blessings, was stamped on the perforated circle die from Blueprints Die-namics 3 in Black Licorice ink.

MFT Teasers - Day 4!

Hi there!  It's the fourth day of Teasers from My Favorite Things and today we've got some GREAT things to introduce!  Head on over to the MFT Blog for all of today's details!  While you're there be sure and leave a comment for your chance to win a $75 coupon code to the MFT Boutique!

If you read my blog regularly (thank you, by the way), you might know that as of late I have a CRUSH on the color combo orange, and kraft, with a little green thrown in for good measure.  I couldn't let this release go by without making SOMETHING with this color combo.  I'm also in LOVE with Lisa Johnson's new set, Peaceful Wildflowers.  So I combined my CRUSH and my LOVE together and came up with these two cards!  HA!

I also used the brand new Dotted Scallop Border Trio Die-namics, plus another fave, Western Backgrounds.


You know what else I love?  The new Wildflowers Die-namics.  I love when sets have matching dies, giving you even more versatility.  And these are so easy to line up. EASY.  The flowers are inked up with Orange Fizz and Sour Apple ink.


The sentiment circle is from Blueprints 3.  I originally stamped the sentiment directly on the card front, but it wasn't straight, so I had to cover it up. Blueprints 3 stitched circle to the rescue :)


Same layout, just horizontal with a different sentiment :)
