I’ll Always Be Here to Celebrate You—February MFT and Friends

All of our February Release products are available in the MFT Online Boutique NOW! Today our team and some friends are taking a fresh look at our most recent release with inspiring ideas and innovative takes on the complete collection. We love the opportunity to look at our products with fresh eyes, envisioning entirely new ways to showcase the possibilities they present. We can’t wait to share our ideas with you so be sure to also stop by the MFT Blog to see who else is participating!




I didn’t get a chance to use the adorable PI Birthday Besties during Countdown I’m using it today. The images were stamped on No Line Coloring card stock with Extreme Black hybrid ink, cut out with the coordinating Die-namics, and colored with Copic markers and paper pieced with Petite Plaids Paper Pack and Party Patterns Paper Pack. Next I sponged the background on Strathmore Bristol Smooth paper with Broken China Distress ink and adhered to a Sweet Tooth card stock base. Then I added some scenery: Grassy Fields Die-namics cut from Sour Apple card stock, Puffy Clouds Die-namics from Sweet Tooth card stock and Beach Scene Builder Die-namics from Pineapple card stock.

All of that was arranged around a A2 Rectangle Frames Die-namics cut from Gold Sparkle Card stock. The sentiment was heat embossed on Black Licorice card stock cut with Starburst Sentiment Strips.

And that’s it from me today! Thanks so much for stopping by! 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 posts linked on the MFT Blog by end of the day on Thursday, February 6th. The winners will be announced on the MFT Blog on Friday, February 7th. Good luck!!

Final Countdown, One Day Until MFT’s February Release!

Hey there! Welcome to the final day of MFT February Release Countdown! Release is tomorrow at 10am Eastern so set your clocks now! And don’t forget to stop by the MFT Blog for all the details. Today we’re previewing Birthdays Take the Cake Stamp Set, Birthdays Take the Cake Die-namics, Miss You Die-namics (Previous Free with $60), Candy Stripes Stencil, and Swirly Birthday Die-namics.

I’m using Swirly Birthday Die-namics for my card today, along with a few images from BB Birthday Buds Stamp Set and Die-namics and one from Little Birthday Notes Stamp Set. I sponged the background with Broken China and Frayed Burlap Distress inks then spatter it with some black acrylic ink and a small art brush. Next I cut Swirly Birthday Die-namics from Black Licorice card stock and adhere it to the card front with spray adhesive and stamped the little sentiment with Extreme Black hybrid ink. The birds and cake from BB Birthday Buds were stamped on No Line Coloring card stock with Extreme Black hybrid ink, cut out with the coordinating Die-namics, and colored with Copic markers.

After I decided where to put the birds, I stamped the music notes from BB Strike Up the Band Stamp set and adhered the birdies with foam tape. The cake was also adhered with foam tape and I finished off with some glittery enamel dots.

And that’s it from me for MFT’s February Release Countdown! Thanks so much for stopping by! See you tomorrow for this month’s MFT & Friends Feature.

Are You Ready? Two Days Until MFT’s February Release!!

Hello and welcome to Day Two of MFT’s February Release Countdown! Release is in two days, on February 4th at 10am Eastern. Be sure to stop by the MFT Blog for all the details. Today we’re previewing Happy Happy Happy Birthday Stamp Set, Sprinkled with Love Stamp Set, Mini Cupcake Maker Die-namics, You Take the Cake Die-namics (Free with $60), and Birthday Brights Patterned Paper.



For today’s card I made a shaker element from You Take the Cake Die-namics and filled it with seed beads to resemble sprinkles. Once that was done I popped it up on a Sweet Tooth card stock base covered with paper from Birthday Brights Paper Pack.

Then I created a cupcake with Mini Cupcake Maker Die-namics by cutting it from No Line Coloring card stock and coloring with Copic markers—I like my cupcake full, LOL, so I used all the things! I stamped a sentiment from Little Birthday Notes Stamp Set on the flag and popped it up on foam and it was done!

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

Halfway To the Big Day—MFT February Release Is in Three Days!

Hi there, it’s Day Three of MFT’s February Release Countdown—only three more days until Release on February 4th so make a note! And don’t forget to stop by the MFT Blog for all the details. Today we’re previewing PI Birthday Besties Stamp Set, PI Birthday Besties Die-namics, Number Jumble Background Stamp, Pumped-Up Alphabet Die-namics, Pumped-Up Numbers Die-namics, and Perfect-Fit Balloon Die-namics.



I love this alphabet! Reminds me so much of the mylar balloons you can get and I started to use some Silver Shine card stock but then decided to use card stock to match the new Patterned Paper, Birthday Brights, instead.

To begin, I cut the letters out to spell “Celebrate” using all the colors in the paper: Cotton Candy, Razzle Berry, Peach Bellini, Coral Crush, Orange Zest, Pineapple, Sour Apple, Blu Raspberry, and Lavender Fields and added strings cut from Primitive White card stock to resemble twine. Next I adhered a strip of the Birthday Brights Paper Pack across the bottom of a Sweet Tooth card stock base and popped up a trimmed Sweet Tooth panel on top after stamping the sentiment, from BB Birthday Buds Stamp Set.

Next I added the letters, cut from Pumped-Up Alphabet on foam for dimension, and to finish off I added a little image from BB Birthday Buds, stamped on No Line Coloring card stick with Extreme Black hybrid ink, cut out with the coordinating Die-namics, and colored with Copic markers.

And that’s it from me for today! Thanks so much for stopping by! See you back tomorrow for Day Two of MFT’s February Release Countdown!
