My card today uses Get Down to Business and Get Down to Business Die-namics, along with Off the Grid Paper Pack. I started with a Sweet Tooth card stock base, then covered the entire front with the notebook design from Off the Grid Paper Pack. Then I cut a bunch of the images from Get Down to Business from X-Press It Blending Card, stamped them with Black Licorice hybrid ink and images from Get Down to Business and colored them with Copic markers.

Next I cut Black Licorice card stock with Blueprints 20 Die-namics, stamped the sentiment with Versamark, heat embossed with white detail embossing powder, and popped it up on foam mounting tape on the card front. Then I added the colored images, popped them up here and there for dimension. I love that sentiment so much!!! I know just who to send this card to, LOL!

And that’s it from me today! Thanks so much for stopping by-see you back tomorrow for the last day of

What a CUTIE this PI is!! And her little critter friends! Adorable!! I wanted to use them all on my card and made it happen. I started with a Steel Gray card stock base. Next, on a piece of trimmed-down Ranger Watercolor paper, I did a watercolor wash with Peerless Watercolors and cut a circle out with Circle STAX, Set 1 Die-namics and framed it with the new Stitched Circle Scallop Frames STAX Die-namics cut from Sweet Tooth card stock. I backed the opening with Tranquil Textures Paper Pack and popped it up on the base on foam mounting tape.

I’ve been wanting to make a pop up box card for a while and I thought this totally adorable marching band was perfect for one! This was my first one and took a while to make but once I understood the mechanics of it, it became lots of fun! I’ll be making more for sure!

I used
Kraft card stock for my base, created my box and decorated the inside back and the three flaps. I cut all the images with BB Strike Up the Band Die-namics from X-Press It Blending Card, stamped the images from BB Strike Up the Band with Black Licorice hybrid ink and colored them with Copic markers. The sentiment was stamped with Versamark on Black Licorice card stock and heat embossed with white detail embossing powder.

The sun was cut from Sunshine card stock with Radiant Sun Die-namics, the clouds from Sweet Tooth card stock with In the Clouds Die-namics and the grass from Sour Apple card stock with Grassy Fields Die-namics.

Here’s a side view from the top to show how the images were mounted. I arranged them as if they were marching in an “S” formation.

I decorated the outside with Dots & Stripes Neutral Paper Pack matted with Black Licorice card stock and simply stamped the images again with Black Licorice hybrid ink—I thought to keep the outside simple since so much was going on inside. To keep it semi-flat, I tied some black and white gingham ribbon around in a bow

And that’s it from me for Day Four of MFT’s March Release Countdown. Thank so much for stopping by—see you back tomorrow for more previews!
