MFT November Release Countdown, Day Two = a Video

Hi, everyone, thanks for joining me today for Day Two of MFT’s November Release Countdown! It won’t be long now! Release is on November 3rd at 10pm—be sure to check out the MFT Blog for all the details. Today we’re previewing LLD Hug in a Mug, LLD Hot Cocoa Cups Die-namics, Bold Diagonal Stripes Background, Basic Stitch Lines Die-namics, Stitched Star STAX Die-namics, and Stitched Cover-Up Companion Horizontal Die-namics.

 

I have a card and a couple of home décor projects for you today, along with a short video. First up, the card. I started with a Sweet Tooth card stock base, then, on a piece of Ranger watercolor paper, I did a watercolor wash with Daffodil dye ink, Tangy Orange dye ink, and the new Chili Powder dye ink. Chili Powder is fast becoming a favorite of mine. Then I splattered some clean water and stamped the sentiment, from Hand Lettered Holiday, with Versamark and heat embossed with gold detail embossing powder. I must say, this is the first time I’ve used the gold embossing powder that MFT carries and it.is.da.BOMB!!! Total smooth coverage, I’m sayin’!



Then I cut some Stitched Star STAX Die-namics from gold foil card stock, arranged and popped them up on foam mounting tape. I finished off with some gold Pretty Pink Posh sequins.

Next a couple of Christmas décor items.




I made a little video to show you how I achieved the dimensional look with Stitched Star STAX Die-namics and you can view it HERE in HD or click on the button below.



Once I got my ornament base made, I added some clear chunky glitter, punched a small hole at the end of a point, and tied on some silver baker’s twine for a hanger.

I also made a banner with a smaller die, using the same technique to create dimension. For this, I added some Warm Diamond Microfine Glitter and strung the stars on the same silver baker’s twine. Here’s a close up of how I did that, using hot glue.



And here’s the finished banner. I used nine stars and it’s about four feet long.



This photo shows the dimension you get.

 


And that’s it from me today! Thanks so much for stopping by! See you back tomorrow for the last day of MFT’s November Release Countdown!

MFT November Release, Day Three

Hello, and welcome to Day Three of MFT’s November Release Countdown! Today we’re previewing PI Season's Tweetings, PI Season's Tweetings Die-namics, Chunky Chevron Cover-Up Die-namics, Diagonal Quilt Square Cover-Up Die-namics, Let's Get Cozy, Homespun Stitch Lines Die-namics. Be sure to check out all the details at the MFT Blog and remember, release is on November 3rd at 10pm!

I have a couple of cards for you today, starting with this adorable Pure Innocence set, PI Season’s Tweetings. I started by cutting out some Neenah Classic Crest Cover, Solar White Smooth, 110lb with PI Season’s Tweetings Die-namics, stamping the coordinating image, and coloring it with Copic markers. The darling birds are separate and I did two of each. My card base is Sweet Tooth card stock on which I popped up some of the gorgeous new Chili Powder card stock cut with Chunky Chevron Cover-Up Die-namics.



Next, I cut Ranger watercolor paper with Stitched Rounded Rectangle STAX Die-namics on which I did a wash using the new Blue Yonder dye ink and Cactus dye ink. I popped it up on foam mounting tape, then popped up the PI image and the sentiment, stamped on Black Licorice card stock with Versamark and heat embossed with white detail embossing powder. The birdies finished it off. This card is also for this week’s Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge.

Next is a card using the new Diagonal Quilt Square Cover-Up Die-namics.



This card started with a Sweet Tooth card stock base. Then I added a layer of Sweet Tooth card stock that I embossed with the new Homespun Stitch Lines Die-namics. I love these!! I remember doing these kinds of stitch details with my sewing machine on almost every card not too awful long ago! Now I can have the look without the actually sewing! To add a little more interest, I did some splattering with watered down Black Licorice dye ink.



Next I created my quilt using Black Licorice card stock, Sweet Tooth card stock, and some stamping with Damask Background and Blue Yonder dye ink and Cactus dye ink. I popped it up on foam and added the sentiments from Let’s Get Cozy, stamped with Versamark on Black Licorice card stock, cut with Blueprints 12 Die-namics, and heat embossed with white detail embossing powder. I finished off with some enamel dots and it was done!

That’s it for today’s previews. Thanks so much for stopping by—see you back tomorrow for another day of November MFT Release Countdown!
