Hello there and welcome to Day Three of MFT’s July Release Countdown! Today we’re previewing PI Happy Birthday to You Stamp Set, PI Happy Birthday to You Die-namics, PI Happy Cake Day Stamp Set, PI Happy Cake Day Die-namics, Happy Birthday Circle Frame Die-namics, Circle Shaker Pouches (previously released), and Maze Shapes – Rainbow. Don’t forget that release is on July 11th at 9pm, Eastern and be sure to stop by the MFT Blog for more samples from the MFT team and all the details.
I have cards using both of this month’s Pure Innocence sets—I couldn’t decide which one to use so I did both! First up is PI Happy Birthday to You. I stamped the image on No-Line Coloring Card Stock with Black Licorice Hybrid Ink, cut it out with the coordinating PI Happy Birthday to You Die-namics, and colored it with Copic markers, then paper pieced the ribbon and bow with paper from Sweet Celebration Paper Pack.
For the background, I applied a watercolor wash with Peerless Watercolors on Ranger Watercolor Paper, splattered some clean water with a Mini Mister, and stamped the sentiment. Then I added some strips of paper from Itsy Bitsy Polka Dots Pastels Paper Pack and Sweet Celebration Paper Pack a couple cut with Blueprints 12 Die-namics and Blueprints 16 Die-namics and adhered it to a Sweet Tooth card stock base with foam mounting tape, popped up the stamped and colored image, and was done!

My second card uses the adorable PI Happy Cake Day.
I stamped the image with Black Licorice Hybrid Ink on No-Line Coloring Card Stock and colored it with Copic markers. It’s hard to see, but I used some white Puffy Paint on the cake icing for some texture. Then I adhered Proper Pinstripes Pastels Paper Pack to the bottom of a Sweet Tooth Card Stock base and popped up more Sweet Tooth card stock on foam mounting tape. Before I did that, though, I cut the center with Inside & Out Stitched Oval STAX Die-namics and the edge with Stitched Scallop Basic Edges Die-namics. I added Black Licorice card stock cut with Stitched Basic Edges Die-namics along the edge and added more patterned paper behind the oval, along with a piece of Translucent Vellum to lighten the color a bit.
Then I added some strips of Roses All Over Paper Pack, Black & White Basics Paper Pack, and Tiny Hearts Pastels Paper Pack and the sentiment, stamped with Versamark on Black Licorice Card Stock and heat embossed with white detail embossing powder. A few scattered Sparkling Clear Mix Sequins finished it off.
And that’s it for today! Thanks SO much for stopping by! I’ll be back tomorrow with Day Two and I hope you’ll join me!
