Hello there!! It’s time, it’s time!! MFT’s February Release is now available for purchase in the MFT Online Boutique! Be sure to check by the MFT Blog for all the details and to see how you can have a chance to win free stuff!
What a great release, right? So many super fun products to play with :) I have a couple of cards for you tonight starting with an elegant but fun design using Magical Mandala Die-namics. I cut it three times from Black Licorice card stock and layered them, then adhered it to the Sweet Tooth card front, first stamping Distressed Patterns with Delicata Gold ink. The sentiment, from Anything-but-Basic Birthday Wishes Stamp Set, was heat embossed with gold detail embossing powder on Black Licorice card stock cut with Slanted Sentiment Strips Die-namics and layered on Brushed Gold card stock.
To add a bit of whimsy, I added three balloons from Party Animal, colored with gold watercolor paint and popped up on foam.
*****
Next up, a card we hate to have to send but one that means a lot to the recipient. We love our furry children and having someone understand that means a lot.
I began by stamping a Sweet Tooth card base with Paw Prints Background, then added a Sweet Tooth panel on which I scored a pattern for some texture. I added a Stitched Heart STAX Die-namics, cut from Wild Cherry card stock into which I cut Paw Prints Die-namics, tied around some baker’s twine, and popped the panel up on foam tape.
I added a pup from Canine Companions Stamp Set and Die-namics and heat embossed a sentiment from Critter Condolences Stamp Set.
And that’s it! I hope I’ve given you some ideas for using YOUR new February goodies in some fun ways. Thanks so much for stopping by…and happy shopping!!
