  • The May Hop and Shop will begin at 10:00pm May 3rd, with the hop also starting at the MFT Blog.
Soooo, here's my card for today. This card is also for the Guest Designer Challenge, which is Blue Jeans and Bling. How cool is that?!

I decided to make a masculine card for my project. I'm using a border stamp and sentiment from Well-Worn Greetings, and all three pieces of the coordinating die set. This is one fabulous die set! Love the shapes! You'll be seeing this one often!


See that denim trim? I picked that up at Hobby Lobby MONTHS ago--just because it's so cute! I knew it would come in handy sometime, and now's the time. So, OK, there's no real *bling* on it, but I'm considering those beads "boy bling". Work for you? A little distressing and a few brads finish it off.

And here's the inside. I created the sentiment using last month's Typewriter Alphabet (temporarily out of stock) set and stamped some stars from Well-Worn Greetings.




OK, that's it for me, today. I'll be back tomorrow with another amazing new set and die. LOVE.
