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, June 12th, at 10am Eastern so make a note! And be sure to stop by the MFT Blog for ALL the details! Today we're previewing Sweet Treats Stamp Set, Sweet Treats Die-namics, Number Fun - 4 Stamp Set, Turtley Awesome Stamp Set, Turtley Awesome Die-namics, Happy Happy Birthday Stamp Set, and Happy Swish Die-namics.

I went totally CAS with this card and made my first every infinity shaker card! Woohoo!! And I love it! I'll have to make more of these--they're so fun and easy!

To begin, I stamped the HAPPY image on Copic-friendly card stock with Extreme Black hybrid ink and colored the letters in a rainbow palette. Once done, I stamped the "birthday" image under it. To create my shaker pouch, I used a medium stamp packing pouch, added my matching sequin filler, and closed it up with Scor-Tape for security.

The shaker pouch and card front were then adhered to a white card stock base and it was done!! 

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 12th, at 10am Eastern so make a note! And be sure to stop by the MFT Blog for ALL the details! Today we're previewing Joyful Giraffes Stamp Set, Joyful Giraffes Die-namics, Inside & Out Birthday Greetings Stamp Set, Stitched Flowers Die-namics, Wildflowers Patterned Paper Pad, Wish Big Die-namics, and Sweet 16 Stamp Set (Freebie).

I'm always excited when we get new patterned paper so I HAD to use this new designer paper right away! It coordinates wonderfully with the new Stitched Wildflowers Die-namics so of course I used them, too, along with the birthday freebie, Sweet 16 Stamp Set.

To begin, I cut and assembled the flowers, coordinating the colors in the patterned paper (listed below). Next, I added a wide strip of patterned paper down the side of a white card stock card base. The sentiment was stamped with Eiffel Tower Dye Ink and adhered to the card base with foam tape.

To complete the card. I arranged the assembled flowers like I wanted and adhered them to the card front--with hot glue and foam tape.

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!

Hello and welcome to Day Four of MFT's July Release Countdown! Release is in four days, July 12th, at 10am Eastern so make a note! And be sure to stop by the MFT Blog for ALL the details!

Today I'm using Farm-tastic Friends Stamp Set, Farm-tastic Friends Die-namics, and Windmill Die-namics for a cute little scene. I found the sponged sky strip on my desk and decided it was perfect for creating this little vignette. I was created on white card stock with Lazy Day dye ink and Mini Cloud Edges Stencil and adhered directly to a white card stock base.

Next I added grassy hillsides by cutting Sour Apple card stock with Stitched Snow Drifts Die-namics, sponged the edges with Sour Apple dye ink, and popped them up on foam tape. Windmill Die-namics was cut from Silver Shine card stock, assembled, and adhered directly to the cloud strip.

The images were stamped on Copic-friendly card stock with Extreme Black hybrid ink, cut out with the coordinating Die-namics, and colored with Copic markers.

The colored images were popped up on the card front with foam tape and I finished with a sun, cut from Lemon Drop card stock with A2 Circle STAX Die-namics and Cutest Clouds Ever Die-namics cut from white card stock.

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

Sweet Birthday Wishes - Color Throwdown Challenge #700

 

Hey there, welcome to a brand new Color Throwdown Challenge! This week Wanda is our hostess and she has a yummy color palette picked out for us! Hope to see you playing along with us this week!

I was totally inspired by the inspiration piece for this card. To begin, I covered a white card stock card base with Poppin' Polka Dots Patterned Paper. Next I sponged some Strathmore Bristol paper with Kraft and Orange Zest dye inks, stamped the sentiment from Sugar-Coated Sentiments Stamp Set with Vintage Timber dye ink and popped this panel up on the card base with foam tape.

Next I cut Frosted Cupcake Die-namics from Orange Zest, Butterscotch, Kraft, and Vintage Timber card stocks, assembled it, and popped it up on foam tape.

To finish off I added some glitter enamel dots and was done!

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 #CTD700 so we can see your beauty all in one place, and use #ctd700 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!
