Final Countdown! One Day Until MFT's July Release!



Hello and welcome to Day Two of MFT's April Release Countdown! Release is in two days, April 13th, at 10am Eastern so make a note! And be sure to stop by the MFT Blog for ALL the details! Today we're previewing Bunch of Happiness Stamp Set, Bunch Of Happiness Die-namics, Just Roll with It Stamp Set, Just Roll with It Die-namics, Happy Birthday Party Die-namics, and Polka Dot Party Background Stamp.





How cute is this little roller skater??? I knew I wanted her skating outside to I set her in a nice grassy park.




To begin, I sponged Sweet Tooth card stock with Lazy Day dye ink and Micro Cloud Edges Stencil and adhered it to a Sweet Tooth card stock base with foam tape. Next I cut Sour Apple card stock with Grassy Hills and, along with a strip of Cement Gray card stock for the sidewalk, created the landscape, complete with the stamped sentiment.




The image was stamped on No Line Coloring card stock with Extreme Black hybrid ink, cut with the coordinating Die-namics, colored with Copic markers, and popped up in the scene with foam tape for the finish.

And that’s it from me today! Thanks so much for stopping by! See you back tomorrow for the July MFT and Friends Feature!

Are You Ready? Two Days Until MFT's July Release!

 


Hello and welcome to Day Two of MFT's April Release Countdown! Release is in two days, April 13th, at 10am Eastern so make a note! And be sure to stop by the MFT Blog for ALL the details! Today we're previewing RAM Sweet Surprise Stamp Set, RAM Sweet Surprise Die-namics, RAM Beautiful Birthday Girl Stamp Set. RAM Beautiful Birthday Girl Die-namics, Happy Birthday Stamp Set (Free with $60), and Happy Birthday Die-namics.





How cute is this little mouse jumping out of a cake??? Totally adorable, and I decided to pair this image with Happy Birthday Stamp Set.




To begin, I stamped the image on No Line Coloring card stock with Extreme Black hybrid ink, cut it out with the coordinating Die-namics, and colored it with Copic markers. The background was created by sponging Strathmore Bristol Smooth paper, cut with A2 Double Stitched Rectangle STAX, with Broken China and Hickory Smoke Distress ink, then spattered with clear water and black acrylic ink.




Once dry, Happy Birthday Stamp Set was stamped on the background with Extreme Black hybrid ink then adhered to a Black Licorice card stock base with foam tape, then the colored image was popped up on foam tape as well. To finish off, I added a few glitter enamel dots.

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

Halfway to the Big Day--Three Days Until MFT's July Release!

 


Hello and welcome to Day Three of MFT's July Release Countdown! Release is in three days, July 6th, at 10am Eastern so make a note! And be sure to stop by the MFT Blog for ALL the details! Today we're previewing Something to Squawk About Stamp Set, Something to Squawk About Die-namics, Summer Safari Stamp Set, Summer Safari Die-namics, and Leafy Layer Cover-Up Die-namics.





This set has some lovely tropical birds and I wanted to try to recreate what I saw when we were in the jungle in Belize several years ago. Looking up through the tall tree canopy, you could see the sun peeking through and monkeys and birds filled the trees. This card takes me back there.




I started with a Lazy Day card stock base, cut Leafy Layer Cover-Up from Prickly Pear card stock and adhered it to the card front with spray adhesive. Just before I stuck it down, I added an A2 Circle STAX Die-namics sun cut from Lemon Drop card stock. Next I stamped the images from Something to Squawk About Stamp Set on No Line Coloring card stock with Extreme Black hybrid ink, cut them out with the coordinating Die-namics, and colored them with Copic markers.




The images were then popped up on the card front with foam tape, as was the sentiment, heat embossed on Black Licorice card stock cut with Fishtail Foundations Die-namics. I really love how this tuned out.

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

I do love these new Watercolor Wash Stencils!! For today's card I began by applying Broken China and Pumice Stone Distress Inks through Watercolor Wash Free Form Stencil on Strathmore Bristol Smooth paper. Once that was dry, I stamped part of a sentiment from SY Penguin Party Stamp Set with Extreme Black hybrid ink then adhered the panel to a Sweet Tooth card stock base with foam tape.
