Welcome to Day Four of MFT's January Teasers! Today we're showing you At the Movies Die-namics and Stamp Set and Monogram Alphabet.
I decided to play around with Monogram Alphabet today. I have two cards, each very different in style. First up is a Happy New Year card. I stamped the letters for "happy" on some Mix & Match Banners Die-namics die cuts with black pigment ink and then heat embossed with black fine detail embossing powder. I cut out another shape banner and layered under the letters for a little contrast, then attached them to some silver cord and then to the card front, popped up on some foam. I cut the numbers from glitter paper with my By the Numbers Die-namics, also popped up on some foam.
My second card is a little more "vintag-y". Yep, that's a word ;-) I thought the letters would work well on a teacher card.
First, I cut out a piece of Kraft card stock with my Polka Dot Greetings Die-namics die, then I stamped the "a b c" with Versamark then over stamped that with a sentiment from Clearly Sentimental About Teaching. I added a Rolled Scallop Flower Die-namics flower with some Upsy Daisy Die-namics leaves, and used my Simply Scallops Die-namics die for my border.
Here's a close up of the sentiment panel.
And here's the inside with more Versamark letters and another sentiment from Clearly Sentimental About Teaching.
Here are the Die-namics dies I used for these cards:
