Paper Pursuits: Geek is Chic–MFT August Release Countdown, Day Six

Thursday, August 07, 2014

Hello, and welcome to Day Six of MFT’s August Release Countdown! Today we’re previewing Geek is Chic Glasses Die-namics, LLD Geek is Chic stamp set, Eye Charts stamp set, and Jumbo Polka Dot Stencil. These sets are so CUTE! And I’ll bet you know JUST the person to send a card to using these, am I right? Stop by the MFT Blog for all of today’s details, and don’t forget, release is on August 12, at 10pm. Be there.

My card started with a Sweet Tooth card stock base. Then, on a trimmed-down piece of Sweet Tooth card stock, I stamped the retro girlie glasses frames from LLD Geek is Chic over and over with Steel Gray hybrid ink. I had a pair of glasses just like these—actually a couple of pairs, LOL! Wow. Anyway, then I matted that with Razzle Berry card stock and popped it up on foam on the base. I stamped the sentiment, also from LLD Geek is Chic, on a strip of Sweet Tooth card stock with Steel Gray hybrid ink and Razzle Berry hybrid ink and popped it up on foam. I cut the glasses from Geek is Chic Glasses Die-namics using Razzle Berry card stock, added some clear acetate for the lenses, and some clear gems at the corners. No, mine didn’t have rhinestones but I remember seeing some that did ;-) I popped them up on the sentiment strip with tiny bits of foam.

On the inside is another sentiment from LLD Geek is Chic and another pair of Geek is Chic Glasses Die-namics, cut from Razzle Berry card stock.

And there you have Day Six of MFT’s August Release Rewind. I’ll be back later with this month’s MFT Color Palette Challenge.
