I adore these lemons!!! I can’t wait to use them again and again—perfect for Summer time, don’t you think? For this card I sponged some Broken China Distress ink on Strathmore Bristol Smooth paper then stamped Circle Celebration Background at a wonky angle with Cement Gray dye ink then popped it up on a Sweet Tooth card stock card base trimmed with patterned paper from Tiny Check and Black & White Stripes Paper Packs.

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 before being adhered with foam tape.

This set has the SWEETEST flowers in it!! Perfect for Mother’s Day or any other day of the year for that matter. They are just adorable! I love the arch on the image I used for this card—perfect for the top of the background I sponged through Oval Extraordinaire Stencil using Broken China Distress ink on Strathmore Bristol Smooth card stock. The sentiment from Mother’s Day Bouquet Stamp set was stamped with Extreme Black hybrid ink then the panel was adhered  with foam tape to a Sweet Tooth card stock base covered with Party Patterns paper pack.

The images were stamped with Extreme Black hybrid ink as well, cut out with the coordinating Die-namics, colored with Copic markers and popped up on foam and I finished off with some sequins.

Halfway To the Big Day—Three Days Until MFT’s May Release!

Hello and welcome to Day Three of MFT’s May Release Countdown! Release is in three days—May 5th at 10am so make a note. And be sure to stop by the MFT Blog for all the details. Today we’re previewing Happy Hummingbirds Stamp Set, Happy Hummingbirds Die-namics, Dandelion Greenery Stamp Set, Brilliant Butterflies Stamp Set, Brilliant Butterflies Die-namics, and Foiled Frames - Circle Die-namics (Hot Foil).





These little hummers are so dainty and adorable! I thought this one in particular looked very demure and perfect for a “sorry” card. The base was cut from Sweet Tooth card stock with A2 Stitched Circle STAX with a hinge and the front covered with Black & White Dots patterned paper. Then I used Foiled Frames – Circle Die-namics with hot pink foil and cut it out with A2 Stitched Circle STAX so that the foil circle framed the little scene that was created with the hummer.

Here’s a view to show how the foil shimmers. In the past I’d had trouble getting a good foil impression on Sweet Tooth card stock so for this card I tried Smooth White and magic happened! The smoothness, I assume, made the foil transfer perfectly! Game changer!! I’ll never hesitate to do foiling again!

The sentiment and image were stamped with Extreme Black hybrid ink, the image cut with the coordinating Die-namics and colored with Copic markers. The foiled circle was sponged with Broken China Distress ink and popped up on the card base with foam as was the colored image. I finished off with matching sequins.

Thanks so much for stopping by today! See you back tomorrow for Day Two of MFT’s May Release Countdown!

Stay Tuned! We Have More in Store--Four Days Until MFT's May Release!

Hey there! Welcome to Day Four of MFT’s May Release Countdown! Release is on May 5th at 10am so mark your calendars! And be sure to stop by the MFT Blog for all the details. Today we’re previewing Always Bring a Smile Stamp Set, Always Bring a Smile Die-namics, Grande Greenery - Solid Die-namics, Grande Greenery - Outline Die-namics, Circle Celebration Background Stamp, and All the Feels Die-namics.

I really love this new Circle Celebration Background. I think I’ll be reaching for this background often in the future. For today’s card, I heat embossed it with silver detail embossing powder and then did a watercolor wash with a couple of Ken Oliver Color Bursts. Once dry, it was adhered to a Sweet Tooth card stock base.

Next I cut the mat for All the Feels Die-namics from Translucent Vellum and the actual work dies from Silver Sparkle card stock, adhered them together and popped them up on clear foam tape for some dimension.

I thought some clear sparkle sequins was just what this card needed to be finished so once they were added it was done.

Thanks so much for stopping by! See you back tomorrow for Day Three of MFT’s May Release Countdown!
