MFT February Release Countdown, Day Five

Hello and welcome to Day Five of MFT’s February Release Countdown!!! FYI, release is on February 7th at 9pm, EST. Be sure to check out all the details at the MFT Blog. Today we’re previewing Lots of Hugs, Twice the Hugs Die-namics, Friends Furever, Friends Furever Die-namics, Friend Die-namics - Previous Free with $60, Roses All Over Paper Pack, and Premium Dye Ink Cubes – Sets 5, 19, and 20.

Both of my cards are CAS and I’ll walk you through how I made them. For my first one, I started with a Sweet Tooth card stock base and added a piece of Roses All Over Paper Pack across the bottom. Next I sponged some Sweet Tooth card stock with, top to bottom, Coral Crush dye ink, Orange Fizz dye ink, and Persimmon dye ink and cut Twice the Hugs Die-namics from it. I adhered a couple more copies cut from Sweet Tooth card stock and popped it up on a Sweet Tooth card stock panel for the front—on which I stamped the sentiment from Lots of Hugs, then popped the whole thing up on foam on the base.



Next I stamped the two birdies from Friends Furever on X-Press It Blending Card with Black Licorice hybrid ink, colored them with Copic markers, and popped them up, as well. To finish off I added some enamel dots.

My second card uses Friends Furever, too.



I started with a Sweet Tooth card stock base, stamped the sentiment, and added a strip of Hearts & Stripes Paper Pack. On a panel of Smooth White card stock, I sponged a background using Sour Apple dye ink and Blue Breeze dye ink, tied around some baker’s twine, and popped it up on the base with foam mounting tape.



I stamped the image from Friends Furever with Black Licorice hybrid ink, cut it out with the coordinating Friends Furever Die-namics, colored it with Copic markers, and popped it up as well.

And that’s it for Day Five of MFT’s February Release Countdown! Thanks so much for stopping by—see you back tomorrow for Day Four!

I Think You’re Spectacular–MFT Wednesday Sketch Challenge #318

Hi, everyone, I’m back with this week’s MFT Wednesday Sketch Challenge! Are you ready? Here’s this week’s sketch. All of the details about the sketch challenge are available on the MFT Challenge & Inspiration blog as well as in the weekly newsletter. The MFT Design Team will be on hand to provide plenty of inspiration to get you started.

I hadn’t played with LLD Geek is Chic and LLD Geek is Chic Glasses Die-namics in a while so I thought it was time to get them out for some love. Using a Sweet Tooth card stock base with some Sweet Celebration Paper Pack down the side. The card front features molding paste applied through Jumbled Letters Stencil and was popped up on foam mounting tape.



The sentiment was stamped on Blu Raspberry card stock with Tropical Teal dye ink and also popped up on foam, then I added the glasses, cut from the same patterned paper pack and popped up on foam as well. The accents on the glasses were cut from Silver Shine card stock and I finished off with some enamel dots.

And there you have it! Remember, you can get all the details by visiting the MFT Challenge Blog. You have the chance to win a $20 in MFT voucher. One winner is chosen at random each week!

Thanks for stopping by! See you soon!

I Heart You–CTD #428

Hey, everyone, it’s time for another Color Throwdown Challenge! Lynn has a sweet color palette for us to work with based on this equally sweet inspiration piece.




How about a little Pure Innocence for these colors? I’m using PI Heart Bouquet for the image and PI I Heart You for the sentiment. I stamped the image directly on a panel of X-Press It Blending Card with Black Licorice hybrid ink and colored it with Copic markers.



Next I tied around some baker’s twine, added a strip of Hearts & Stripes Paper Pack down the side of my Sweet Tooth card stock base, and popped the card front up on foam mounting tape.

And that’s it from me! Remember, you do not have to have the exact colors to play the Color Throwdown challenge. If you don't, just use the closest you have. So, c'mon over to the Color Throwdown blog and play along with us this week. Please use the link service to post your card and please link directly to your card so we can find it easily. And please include a link in your post to the Color Throwdown. If you upload your card to a public forum, please use the keyword CTD428 so we can see your beauty all in one place, and use #ctd428 and #colorthrowdown on social media. Hope to see you there! Be sure to check out what the other team members have come up with this week, including our incredibly talented February Guest Designer, Donna Mikasa!
