Sending Smiles

Hi everyone!  Today is MFT Pure Innocence Teaser Time... a fan favorite.  :) 

I chose to work with the Poppy stamp set.  I love how the dress is drawn to mimic the flower.  SO cool and clever!


She is colored with Copic markers and I drew in the ground with Prismacolor pencils.  I added some Warm Highlight Glitter Ritz glitter to the center of the flower.  I added a tiny 2 mm Swarovski crystal to her shoe. 


The sentiment was stamped on the new Bracket Tab Die-namics die.  I LOVE cutting a bunch of tabs and just having them sitting on my stamp desk.  It's SO handy for sentiments. :)

I See...

Hi all and thanks for stopping by today!  I'm excited to show you one of the newest à la modes stamp sets, I Spy.  Isn't she adorable?  I love how a portion of her face is magnified.  SO cool and clever!  :)


I used this "floofy" Prima flower I found in my stash.  :)


She is colored with Copic markers.  I drew in the ground with Prismacolor pencils.  I cut the Simply Scallops Medium border with some corrugated cardboard to add a bit of texture.  There is a cute sentiment stamped inside:
  • Sunny Days Ahead

I filled in the eye piece of the magnifying glass with Diamond Glaze.

August Teaser Time - Day 1

Hi all and thanks for stopping by today!  It's that time of the month again... MFT Teaser Time!  In 5 short days the new release will take you by storm, so get ready for the ride.  :)

My first card today features Clearly Sentimental about Sympathy.  You have a few more days to earn this set for free.  Read all the details HERE.  OR, you can wait until it's for sale on release night, August 2nd, at 10 PM EST.


I highlighted some of the words with a Copic marker to add some pizazz.  I slotted a piece of ribbon through the sentiment panel.  I had this sketch jotted down from a long time ago, but it wasn't labeled, so I have no idea where it came from.  I added a strip of Simply Scallop Medium scallops to the bottom of the card.


I used the pretty, new Dizzy Doily Duo.


I added lots of pretty crystal flourishes to dress up the card.


I also finished the inside:

I used the Simply Scallops Medium Die-namics die.






Here is the sketch for you.  I hope you'll play along.  :)

I added the sentiment from the Sunflower Sentiments set that you'll get FREE with the purchase of the VIP Collection to the File Tab Die-namics die-cut.  I love that thing for sentiments.  It's SO cute!


She is colored with Copic markers.  I used the embossed center from the Upsy-Daisy Die-namics die for the center of the sunflower.  It fits PERFECTLY and was such a happy accident.  LOVE it.  I matted her on a larger circle and then on the Open Scallop Doily Duo Die-namics, which also comes in the VIP Collection.

It's Sew Easy... Sketch #28

Hello ladies!  It's time for MFT Wednesday Stamp Club #28.  As promised, I haven't missed a single one, and I hope you are playing along as well.  :)

Today, I used the newly released Sew Nifty Die-namics and Stamp Set.  It comes with several dies, and a large stamp set.  It's super easy to use and make quick(ish) and cute cards!  I love the dressform and spool cut out with the Creative Imaginations wood paper.  Coolio!


I cut the spool Die-namics out with Creative Imaginations wood paper.  I wrapped May Arts twine around it and used an actual needle as an embellishment.  LOVE that.  LOL  The measuring tape is actually patterned paper I cut apart.

I decided to leave the dress form plain and not stamp on it.  It was too pretty just as is.  That is what I love about MFT Die-namics.  Much care is taken when designing products so they are versatile and fun to stamp with.  Along the bottom of that panel I staggered Simply Scallops die-cuts.  I needed to add some girly frill.


Check out the FIVE dies and the stamp set.  A super fun group of products!

I am in LOVE with the File Tab Die-namics.  It's so fun for sentiments.  LOVE.  Must. Have.


Here is the sketch for you.  I hope you'll play along.  :)

MFT Designer Creative Challenge - On a Roll

Hi all and thanks for stopping by today!  It's time for the monthly MFT Designer Creative Challenge.

In 2011, MFT is working harder than ever to inspire you, and we have come up with something we think you'll really enjoy. Our Design Team Creative Challenge is a monthly feature, where we challenge our design team to explore their creative side using a specific theme, product or technique. This month, we're On a Roll! Visit Kim's Blog for a full list of designers that have taken up the challenge!

I went "literal" with this challenge and used the Rolled Rose Die-namics die and some white felt to create a luscious felt flower embellishment.  I also rolled up the edges of the Simply Scallops Medium Die-namics die, and rolled up the edges of my patterned paper on each layer.



I used one of my all-time favorite stamp sets: Own Your Story and the accompanying Four Point Frame Die-namics die.






Thanks for stopping by!  I'll see you very soon!
