MFT Teaser, Day Two - à la modes in You Are Unrepeatable

 

So, what did you think of yesterday's girlie? SQUEEEEEEELLLLL, right? OK, we've got another one just as cute for today :) I know, such enablers ;-) Today's is à la modes in You Are Unrepeatable. How fun is that!? Be sure to stop by the MFT Blog to see who else has a sample to show you.

I stamped the image on a Perfect Paper Panel (out of stock) with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored it with Copic markers. The music paper is from MFT's digi Take Note paper, cut with the Large Simply Scallops Die-namics die. I used the Music Notes Die-namics die for the, well, music notes ;-) Some red gingham ribbon finished it off.


Here's the inside, which doubles as a holder for a gift card for some tunes and with another sentiment from the set, cut out with a ribbon die from the First Place Award Ribbon Die-namics set.

A Rainbow Is a Promise

I finally got a chance to play around with the fabulous Rainbow Die-namics die just released by MFT! I had this card in my head and it turned out pretty much like I envisioned it. I love it when that happens ;-)

I went with the traditional rainbow colors, but you can use this die, which cuts 7 separate "rings", for any color combo you want--including patterned papers :) As you can tell, this card was done totally with Die-namics dies and a little stamping--the sentiment is from Great Outdoor Sentiments.


I wanted to show that the sun was chasing all those storm clouds away, so I added some gray clouds on top of the white ones, all over a sweet little meadow.

Here's the inside, with another sun-chasing-the-clouds scene and another sentiment from the set. Doesn't this make a fabulous encouragement card?








Thanks SO much for stopping by! I'll be back tomorrow with this month's first à la mode. Cuteness, that's all I can say :)

Your generosity...C4C #92

Welcome to another Crazy 4 Challenges day! Today's challenge is to use baker's twine on your card or project. OK, NOT too hard for me ;-) Also today, my sweet friend and CTD team mate, Laura Pryor, is our sponsor. Her up-and-coming stamp company, Lil' Inker Designs, has polymer stamps and steel dies that are so cute! Check out the C4C blog for all the details. 

I'm using two of Laura's dies today: Sentiment Flag and Pinwheel Die and Stamps. I think the card construction is pretty simple so I won't bore you with those details ;-)

Flourishes Friday–Thanks a Bunch

Hi all, it’s time again for Flourishes Friday and I have another card using the FABULOUS Zinnias set. I decided to go more CAS with this one but I still wanted to color up those blooms. I’m CASEing myself with this card—I made a card similar to this one in the past using some other flowers but I’m changing this one up a bit. 

fridayzinniaswtmk_2011jun17

First of all I stamped the single zinnia image on Classic White card stock and Memento Tuxedo Black ink, colored them with Copic markers in the Poppy Collection, Gerber Daisy Collection, the Sunflower Collection, and the Evergreen Collection, then I cut them out. I thought these hot colors would look good on a piece of black paper but it looked a little plain so I added a strip of clear glass glitter for a little contrast. And you can’t see it in this picture, but I embossed an outline of a Labels Seventeen Nestabilities die on the Classic White. Finally, I stamped the sentiment and popped it all up on a black layer and then the base card using Classic White. 

Be sure to check out what the rest of the design team has for your today. And check out THIS blog candy that Christine has going on. 
Remember, today is the last day to take advantage of the June New Release Bundle. Get all the details HERE. 

That’s it for me today—thanks so much for stopping by!

~Supplies~
Stamps: Zinnias (Flourishes)
Paper: Classic White (Flourishes); Basic Black (SU!)
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black
Accessories/tools:
