MFT June Mid-Month Release Is Now Live!




















Hello and welcome to
MFT’s June Mid-month Release!! It’s time! All of the lovely red rubber backgrounds and stamps you’ve been seeing for the last several days are not available for purchase in the MFT Online Boutique!





For this card I’m using Lavish Lilies. I heat embossed it with gold detail embossing powder on the smooth side of Ranger Watercolor Paper then colored with

Faber-Castell Albrecht Durer Watercolor Pencils. Once that was done, I matted the panel with Gold Shine card stock and popped it up on an Orange Zest card stock base with foam tape.
























The sentiment, from Essential Sentiments Stamp Set, was also heat embossed on Jellybean Green card stock cut with Fishtail Flag Trio Die-namics and popped up on foam. I finished off with some gold glitter enamel dots.

Thanks so much for stopping by today! After you shop, be sure to stop by the MFT Blog for more inspiration from the Design Team.

MFT June Mid-Month Release, Countdown, Day One!


















Welcome to the last day of previews for
MFT’s June Mid-month release!! Today we’re previewing Fine-Lined Floral, Coral Flair Background, and Harmonious Hibiscus Background. Release is tomorrow, June 23rd, at 10am Eastern. Be sure to stop by the MFT Blog for all the details and more inspiration.




I thought the Coral Flair Background looked like shells, which reminded me of those frames you can buy that are covered in shells—know which ones I’m talking about? So, I thought a frame cut out of this background would be pretty cool for a tropical underwater scene. To begin, I stamped the background on Kraft card stock with Versa mark and heat embossed it with clear detail embossing powder. Next I cut out the center, leaving a nice wide frame.

I created a watercolor wash underwater back ground, adhered it to a Sweet Tooth card stock base, and popped the frame up on it with foam tape.

























The schooling fish were stamped with Extreme Black hybrid ink, and the images were stamped on No Line Coloring card stock with Extreme Black hybrid ink, cut out with the coordinating Die-namics, colored with Copic markers, and added to the scene with foam tape. The sentiment was heat embossed with white detail embossing powder and adhered with foam tape for the finish!

Thanks so much for stopping by! See you back tomorrow for MFT’s June Mid-month release!!

Two Days Until MFT June Mid-Month Release




Hi there, and welcome to Day Two of
MFT’s June Mid-month Release countdown! Release is on June 23rd at 10am Eastern so make a note :) Today we’re previewing Floral Fantasy, Corner Blooms, Fanciful Roses Background, and Floating Petals Background. Be sure to stop by the MFT Blog for all the details and more inspiration from the Design Team.



I’m using Floating Petals Background for this card. Again, I heat embossed the background but this time I did it on Ranger Watercolor paper with clear detail embossing powder and then applied a wash with some Ken Oliver Color Bursts. Once that was dry I splattered with clean water and black acrylic ink. Next I matted the panel with Silver Sparkle card stock and adhered it to a Grape Jelly card stock base with foam tape. Then I cut A2 Rectangle Frames Die-namics from Silver Sparkle card stock and popped them up on the card front, lapping one over the other.




















Next I cut Lush Lagoon card stock with Little Notes Sentiment Strips and heat embossed a sentiment from Little Birthday Notes Stamp Set with silver detail embossing powder and popped it up on foam. To finish off, I cut Scripty Smile Die-namics from Black Licorice card stock and twice from white scraps then adhered them together before popping it up on foam tape as well.

And there you have it for Day Two of MFT’s June Mid-month Release! Thanks so much for stopping by! See you back tomorrow for the final day of previews.

Three Days Until MFT June Mid-Month Release













Hello and welcome to the first day of previews for
MFT’s June Mid-month Release! We have a bunch of gorgeous red rubber backgrounds and stamps to show you so let’s get started! Today we’re previewing Magnolia Blossoms, Lavish Lilies, Flower Field Background, and Loosely Lined Flowers Background. Be sure to stop by the MFT Blog for all the details and to see more samples from the amazing MFT Design Team. Release is on June 23rd at 10am Eastern so mark your calendars.



I’m using Flower Field Background for my card today. I though it would look really awesome on a black background so I heat embossed it with gold detail embossing powder on Black Licorice card stock and colored with Prismacolor pencils.




















Once the coloring was done I matted the panel with Gold Shine card stock and adhered it to a Tangy Orange card stock base. The sentiment, from Bitty Thanks & Gratitude, was also heat embossed on Black Licorice card stock and popped up on a couple of strips of Tangy Orange and Gold Shine card stock. I finished off with some gold glitter enamel dots.

Thanks so much for stopping by today! See you back tomorrow for another day of previews for MFT’s June Mid-month Release!

The Party Has Arrived–MFT June Birthday Project Challenge

























It's just not a birthday unless there's a party involved – even if it's of the paper variety! This month, our talented team is sharing projects that feature a party scene — grab a single set, or mix and mingle characters from a variety of collections to create a festive atmosphere perfect for celebrating the lucky birthday boy or girl.




Did you say party???? Nothing says party better than MFT’s Penguin Party Stamp Set and Die-namics! It has all you need! I stamped the penguins, streamers, and balloons using colors (see below) from Over the Rainbow Paper Pad after adding some of the patterned paper to the bottom of a Sweet Tooth Card Stock base. Then I added the card front, with the sentiment stamped on it, on more Sweet Tooth card stock cut with Stitched Scallop Basic Edges Die-namics and adhered with foam tape.
























After all that was prepped it was just a matter of arranging the stamped elements and adhering them, directly and with foam tape for the finish.

Now, it's your turn. You have until Wednesday, July 15th, at noon EDT to add your link and be eligible for the prize of $50 in MFT Cash to be spent in the MFT boutique. Winners are chosen at random, so everyone has a chance!


And that’s it from me today—thanks so much for stopping by! See you soon!
