I have a couple of cards for you today using a few of these totally awesome products. I went CAS with my first card using Sushi Date stamp set and Sushi Date Die-namics. I stamped the images on X-Press It Blending Card with Black Licorice hybrid ink and colored them with Copic markers.

I added a strip of Black & White Basics Paper Pack to the bottom of a Sweet Tooth card stock base then stamped the sentiment on more Sweet Tooth card stock. Before I popped the images up on foam mounting tape I added a simple background with Copic markers.

For my second card, I went a little scrappy ;-)

I added strips of Black & White Basics Paper Pack to the sides of a Sweet Tooth card stock base then added a panel of Sweet Tooth card stock. Next is some Red Hot card stock stamped with Mesh Background and Black Licorice dye ink, adhered at a wonky angle. Next is more Sweet Tooth card stock dry embossed with Scrolled Background Stencil, also adhered at a wonky angle but popped up on foam mounting tape.

Then I created my Chinese Takeout Die-namics, cut from Sweet Tooth card stock with a Silver Shine card stock handle. I stamped the images from Good Fortune stamp set with Red Hot dye ink and popped it up on foam. The chopsticks were cut from White Birch Wood Adhesive-Backed Sheet and the sleeve cut from the same patterned paper as the side strips. The fortune cookie was cut from Biscotti card stock and popped up on foam. The “fortune” slips in through a cut in the cookie and there’s a die to cut a coordinating slit into the card stock below so the entire fortune strip is hidden—except for the “Pull” sentiment. How clever is that?! My design allowed me to just slip it under the takeout box so I didn’t need to do that.

And that’s it for Day Four of
MFT’s March Release Countdown! Thanks so much for stopping by! See you back tomorrow for Day Three!

  7. Barbara, both of your cards make me hungry for Chinese! I love the black and white paper you used in both cards. I love that you stamped the temple onto two layers of paper, and the fortune cookie with the fortune that actually pulls out is brilliant! Thanks for sharing.
