Today we’re previewing Blueprints 19 Die-namics, LJD Out on a Limb, LJD Out on a Limb Die-namics, and Proof Positive Cover-Up Die-namics. Release is September 16th at 10pm—be sure to check by the MFT Blog for all the details.

For my first card I went pretty CAS--this would be an easy card to mass produce. I started with a Kraft Card Stock base. On Primitive White Card Stock, I stamped the tree images from LJD Out on a Limb using Versamark for the top and heat embossing with green embossing powder. The trunk was stamped with Chocolate Brown Ink, then the panel was matted with Gumdrop Green Card Stock and popped up onto the base with foam.

The sentiment was stamped on a Dimensional Banners Die-namics, cut from Primitive White Card Stock, with Chocolate Brown in and popped up on foam. I finished it off with some enamel dots.

Then inside has another sentiment from LJD Out on a Limb, also stamped with Chocolate Brown Ink.

My second card is using Blueprints 19 Die-namics, LJD Out on a Limb Die-namics, and a couple of new backgrounds being released this month: Burlap Background and Fine Check Background.

I’m using a Steel Gray Card Stock base, then Berrylicious Card Stock stamped with Fine Check Background and Berrylicious ink. The frame was cut from Kraft Card Stock which was stamped with Burlap Background and Natural Ink, then popped up on foam. The tree leaves were cut from Jellybean Green Card Stock, stamped with Jellybean Green Ink and Burlap Background and the trunk was cut from Chocolate Brown Card Stock. The sentiment was stamped with Versamark and heat embossed with tan embossing powder. I finished off with a hemp cord tied Jellybean Green Button.

The tree and trunk, along with another sentiment from LJD Out on a Limb, were stamped on the inside with Jellybean Green Ink and Chocolate Brown Ink. This card is also for this week’s Color Throwdown Challenge.
