MFT June Mid-Month Release Is Now Live!

Hello and welcome to MFT’s June Mid-month Release!! It’s time! All of the lovely red rubber backgrounds and stamps you’ve been seeing for the last several days are not available for purchase in the MFT Online Boutique!





For this card I’m using Lavish Lilies. I heat embossed it with gold detail embossing powder on the smooth side of Ranger Watercolor Paper then colored with

Faber-Castell Albrecht Durer Watercolor Pencils. Once that was done, I matted the panel with Gold Shine card stock and popped it up on an Orange Zest card stock base with foam tape.

The sentiment, from Essential Sentiments Stamp Set, was also heat embossed on Jellybean Green card stock cut with Fishtail Flag Trio Die-namics and popped up on foam. I finished off with some gold glitter enamel dots.

Hello there!! It’s time, it’s time!! MFT’s October 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!




I love the new Delightful Deer Die-namics so much! I decided to put them in a snowy woodland scene that would really show them off. To begin, I sponged the background on Strathmore Bristol Smooth paper with Berrylicious and Coral Crush dye inks and built upon it. From Sweet Tooth card stock I cut Stitched Snow Drifts Die-namics and Birch Trees Die-namics, added some Gravel Gray card stock behind them. I popped some up on foam the rest were adhered directly.



I cut the deer and the just as delightful Cardinal from card stock (see colors below), assembled them, and popped them up in the scene. The sentiment, from Trio of Trees Stamp Set, was heat embossed on Milk Chocolate card stock cut with Slanted Sentiment Strips Die-namics and also popped up on foam.

And that’s it! I hope I’ve given you some ideas for using YOUR new October goodies in some fun ways. Thanks so much for stopping by…and happy shopping!!

MFT September New Product Release

Hello there!! It’s time, it’s time!! MFT’s September 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!



I adore the new Happy Birthday Script Die-namics! You really don’t need anything else except a good background and a few simple embellishments to create a gorgeous card! This was probably the second alcohol ink background I created and couldn’t use it for what I was making it for. Imagine my surprise when I dropped some Slate (deep GRAY) alcohol ink on Yupo paper and started to work it! It developed into a gorgeous verdigris and copper pattern! So I set it aside and knew it would come in handy at some point and this is that point. I matted it with Tangy Orange card stock and popped it up on a Sno Cone card stock base.



Then I cut Happy Birthday Script Die-namics from Copper Sparkle card stock, layered it with a Tangy Orange copy and a Sno Cone copy and adhered it to the card front. To finish off I added some Metallic Copper Penny Nuvo Crystal drops and called it done! It came together really quickly since the background was already done.

And that’s it! I hope I’ve given you some ideas for using YOUR new September goodies in some fun ways. Thanks so much for stopping by…and happy shopping!! And don’t forget that MFT will be giving away TWO $100 vouchers—to have a chance to win one, be sure to comment on each of the designers’ blogs by end of the day on Thursday, September 6th.

I have a card for you using the new Fluttering Friends Stamp Set and Die-namics, Grand Greenery Die-namics, and Captivating Mandala Die-namics. I love those dragonflies!!! I started by doing an alcohol ink background with Aqua and Citrus inks and did my usual work with alcohol and a small brush. Once that was done I splattered it with copper Liquitex acrylic ink and popped it up on a card base with foam tape.



Next I cut Captivating Mandala Die-namics from Sweet Tooth card stock, laid it on the card front, and adhered some Grand Greenery cut from Sour Apple card stock. I stamped the images on No-Line Coloring card stock with Extreme Black hybrid ink, colored them with Copic markers, and popped them up on foam. The sentiment was stamped with Versamark on Black Licorice card stock cut with Essential Fishtail Sentiment Strips Die-namics, heat embossed with copper detail embossing powder, and popped up on foam as well.

I love this little tyke with his kitty, don’t you? But then, I love anything to do with kitties ;-) I kept it pretty simple to highlight him and his buddie. I sponged the background and included a border of Black & White Stripes Patterned Paper to tie things together.



The images were stamped on No Line Coloring Card Stock with Extreme Black Hybrid Ink, cut out with the coordinating Die-namics, colored with Copic markers, and popped up on foam tape. The sentiment was heat embossed on Black Licorice card stock and also adhered with foam tape.

I made this card to send to the vet who took care of one of our cats when she had lymphoma. She was in remission for almost two years, thanks to them, and they sent us a gorgeous potted hydrangea when she passed. This is a little thank you for all they did.

Mom–MFT April New Product Release

Hello there!! It’s time, it’s time!! MFT’s April 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!

Before I continue I have to tell you that I’m so excited to have a class for this month’s Release Classes. You can find it and more from talented MFT Designers HERE on the MFT site.

I’ve had this idea percolating since I got April product so I went through all my stamps to find just the right mom and baby images to use. I settled on BB Magical Dragons because these images look like they’re looking right at each other. I started by stenciling my sky background, then added Stitched Cloud Edges for a base. I stamped the images and colored them with Copic markers, stamped the sentiment from All About Mom Stamp Set and popped the images up on foam.



I cut Mom Die-namics from Silver Sparkle card stock, popped it up just above the stamped sentiment and finished off with some Puffy Clouds and a sun. I love this!

And that’s it! I hope I’ve given you some ideas for using YOUR new April goodies in some fun ways. Thanks so much for stopping by…and happy shopping!!
