Today I'm featuring the Martinis on Me a la mode. How adorable is she sitting in the big ol' martini glass??? I could use one that size right about now but that's another story! She was colored with copics. Not sure why, but I felt that she needed to be a blonde. Ha! I added stickles to the rims of both glasses. Some pretty ribbon, a button and some bling complete the front.

For the inside I added some glass die-namics from the Let's Toast die-namics and more chevron stripes.

Did you notice the round corner accents on the front?? The sketch is the SSS152 and it called for circles layers in the corners. I wanted to do something fun with the chevron stripes so I cut out several in coordinating colors.

Once I laid them out, I adhered them to a circle I cut out using the Circle Stax, then just cut off the excess. Once all the excess was cut off, I matted it onto a larger Circle Stax die.


Thanks for stopping by!!!

Today, we are featuring the Let's Toast Die-namics and stamp set. OH MY!!! What a set it is!! How often have you bought a bottle of your favorite adult beverage as a gift for a friend or hostess? Now it will be a breeze to add your own decorative touch to such gifts and look like a crafty genius! Here's a wine tag and 3x3 card set I made.

The tiny "You" banner was made using the smallest die from the Jumbo Banner Day Stax and alpha stamps from the Let's Toast stamp set. I also added some of the Chevron Stripes die-namics and the Mini Doily Circles die-namics. Don't you love that wine glass die?!?!

On the card, I've used more of the same dies. The sentiment and star are also from the same set. Don't you love that font?!?!

Here's a pic of them together. Pic isn't the best but I wanted you to see them together.

Thanks for stopping by! Have a great day!

Hi and TGIF!!! Welcome back for day 3 of MFT Teasers! So, what are your must-haves so far?!?! Dumb question, right?! Ha! Ok... moving on ;)

Today we are featuring Clearly Sentimental about Anniversaries. This set comes with 7 sentiments in a lovely mix of fonts. Once again, I used the new Circle Stax and the Fishtail Flags Stax. I can't say enough about these!!! I also used one of the new Mini Doily Circles, as well as the new Pinking Edge die-namic. There's also one of the Dizzy Doily Duo die-namics peeking out under the circle layer (part of it is cut away because the sketch, DS45, called for it) and I just had to use the Royal Rose die-namic as an accent. A little piercing, some cool grayish bling, gray taffeta and a pin finish it up!

Here's a peek at the inside... I love the extra little pizazz the Pinking Edge die-namic adds.

Thanks a BUNCH for stopping by! {I know you're here to see the MFT goodies, but I still appreciate your super sweet comments!} Alright - tomorrow... Same time, same place!!!

Today we are featuring Inspired by Knowledge and Kung Fu Fred. Here's my card using the Inspired by Knowledge set...

I cut one of the sentiment from the set using the Fishtail Flags Stax! Oh, these. are. so. COOL! I also stamped the graduation cap using crumb cake ink on kraft cardstock. The black layers were distressed (except for the black fishtail flag stax layer). Can you guess what tool I used for the first time in, like, forever?!! My spritzer! Yep, I spritzed the sentiment layer! A peek at the inside...

Here's a detail shot. I kind of wanted a tassel sort of look and thought this gold string worked. Added a little key because knowledge unlocks doors, no?! :)

Now for my Kung Fu Fred card! Look at that face! He means business! Again, I used those must-have Fishtail Flag Stax, to include the negative, which I also love! The wood that Fred has kung fu kicked is one stamp, but I cut it out and popped it up so it really looked like the pieces were flying! He's colored with copics and cut out with the new Circle Stax!!! Yea, baby!!!


A peek at the inside... MORE fun Fishtail Flag Stax and another sentiment from the set.

Thanks for stopping by! Hope to see you back here tomorrow for MORE teasers!!!

MFTWSC65 - Ready for Easter?

Hi! Well, if you're not quite ready for Easter, maybe this card will help you?! Ha! For this card I've used the PI One Sweet Chick ~ and that is definitely what she is! Her dress and the eggshell were paper pieced, everything else colored with copics.

Here are all the die-namics I used... leafy flourish, medium scallops, mini rolled roses, Homespun Birdhouse (for the "grass" she's sitting on, it's the bottom of the birdhouse!), dizzy doily duo, and the small scallop border. Yea, I totally LOVE my die-namics! I sponged around here with pretty in pink and added little clusters of bling here and there.

Detail shot...
Thanks for stopping by! See you *SOON* for day 2 of MFT Teasers!!! Wahoo!

TS Monday - Critters!

Hi and Happy Monday! This week, we at Totally Stampalicious are challenging you to break out those cute critter stamps! I couldn't resist using this cutie from the newly released Party Penguins set!!! LOVE him! He was colored with copics then cut out with my coluzzle (anyone still use that thing??? I definitely need to invest in some oval dies!). I sponged around him with saffron ink. All other layers were sponged with crumb cake and I added some faux stitching to a few of the layers, as well. For added interest, I layered some twill and added brads to the corners.

Here's a peek at the inside... I stamped that cutie again using crumb cake and also sponged around the edges. The sentiment comes with this set. FUN!

Thanks for stopping by!!! Be sure to stop by the TS Blog to see what the rest of the dt have for you!

CASEing myself

Hi all! Today over on SCS, the challenge is to pick one of your own cards and CASE it! I went waaayyy back to March 2008 and picked THIS CARD. I kept the layout because I love it! I used some old SU dp because I just received the pleated baja ribbon and cardstock. The cupcake and sentiment are from the Tag You're It stamp set by MFT. I stamped the chocolate part of the cupcake using 2nd generation stamping so that the sentiment would be visible since I used chocolate ink for both. I used nesties for the sentiment and added die-namic borders to two of the other layers.

The chocolate layer behind the sentiment was distressed. And see those tiny brads?! I bought a pack of these pastel brads about a month ago and was thrilled that they matched the baja! SCORE! ;)

Thanks for stopping by and see you tomorrow for a new TS Monday challenge!

MFTWSC64 - Life is too short

Hi! Here's my card for this week's MFTWSC64. I decided to use the Inspired by Flowers set #3. I colored this gorgeous image using copics. I knew that I wanted it to pop, so I kept all of the other colors on the muted side using only sahara (for the card base), dp with tone on tone designs and black for extra oomph. I sponged all of the dp edges and distressed all of the black layers, except for the small scallop border die-namic. The sentiment is from the Pearls of Wisdom set.

Swing by the MFT Blog to see what the rest of the uber talented DT has for you! Thanks for stopping by!
