MFTWSC58 - You are Purrrfect

Hi! Ready for another MFT card?! I thought so! Here's my take on this week's sketch #58. I know I'll be using this one again and again! This is the newly release PI Purrfect. I was going for an orange tabby cat. I fussy cut her and popped her up on pop dots. The flower is the new Botanical Beauty die-namics which you must go get NOW! :) I used the two smaller flowers and all three centers because they're TOO COOL!

Thanks for stopping by! Until next time...

MFT Product Tour - Hello, Friend!

Hello again! It's time for the Product Tour which means all of the new sets and die-namics are available NOW! Feel free to RUUUNNNNN to the MFT store now or check out my card then RUUUNNNNN to the MFT store! Hehe! I'm featuring the Ring Me set and matching die-namics. I ADORE this set!!! It is SO fun! The font is wonderful!

Here's a peek at the inside. I did second-generation stamping on the cord in basic grey ink.

Here's a details shot. I didn't adhere the bottoms of the mix & match banners so I could curl up the ends a little and add more dimension.

I made my own "epoxy" brad using some diamond glaze. I completely ADORE the detail on this die-namic!!!! Other die-namics I used were the small scallop border, mix & match banner and the scallop ribbon border.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Ok, NOW go to the MFT store and pick up all those must-haves before they're gone!!! And don't be a stranger!!!

MFT Pep Rally time!!!



HI and welcome to the MFT die-namics feature and pep rally!!! It's FINALLY here ~ RELEASE DAY!! Wahoo!!! So, what is on your must-have list?!?! I know, silly question, right?! ;) I am so amazed at not only the amazing stamps and die-namics Kim and the crew come up with but also the stunning sneaks they put out month after month! I've felt so blessed to be a guest designer and dream of being a permanent part of this group of encouraging and sweet ladies. As the sentiment says, I'm chasing that dream!

On to my project... I must confess... I didn't even start on this until after 2pm today (Monday). I'd been running ideas through my mind and then guess what?! I got new dp in tha house! So new die-namics and stamps + new dp = INSPIRATION! This is a $1 wood frame from Michael's that I covered with dp. This sentiment from the new Vertical Greetings set along with the die were begging to be used. "Chase" was stamped on dp then cut out for emphasis. Also, I used the new Botanical Beauty die-namics. Oh SO GORGEOUS! The leaves/vines were cut out using the leafy flourish, the branches with leaves, and the vintage flourish die-namics. I added another heart behind the sentiment layer using one of the layered heart die-namics.

Here's a detail shot. I had sponged all edges of the frame and woodgrain dp with cocoa ink. The heart and sentiment layer on up on pop dots. I think this would make a great gift for a grad or even a wedding gift.

TS Monday - Ribbon, ribbon, ribbon!

***2nd post of the day - scroll down to see my MFT Teaser post***

Hi again! Time for the Totally Stampalicious Monday challenge and this week we want you to use up that ribbon you've been hoarding! Yep, use three different ribbons on your card! Here, I've used a lace ribbon, a satin ribbon and some twine (hope that counts as one!). The satin ribbon was ruffled. Can I say that this lady cracks me up! She's colored with copics and is up on pop dots. The sentiment edge was cut out with a die-namic. I rounded one corner and added piercing inside and out.

A peek at the inside... Hilarious sentiment!

Thanks for taking a peek and stop by the Totally Stampalicious blog to see what the rest of the girls have for you!

MFT Teasers - Day 6


Hi all! Happy Monday! First, let me say... GO GIANTS!!!! Oh, my husband is one happy man! He's just lucky they weren't playing my Saints, LOL!!! And now, it's Pure Innocence sneak time! With so many aDORable PIs to choose from, I decided to go with the Firefighter Boy. He was just too darling to resist! I kept it all pretty clean and simple with lots of layers and 13 brads! One layer was run through my 'Bug with an embossing folder and I pierced a separate layer. The sentiment was cut out with the mix & match banners die-namics which I attached to the pole from the mini pennant die-namic. He was colored with copics.

A peek at the inside... I added more piercing, the postage stamp edge die-namic and added the fire extinguisher from the same set.

MFT Teasers - Day 5


Hi and welcome to A la Mode teaser day! My card features the Rock Star a la mode! Fun, fun, FUN! I totally "punked" her out with purple ombre hair and a baby blue guitar. The sentiment was cut out with one of the mini tabs foursome die-namics. I popped up some of the stacking stars die-namics and added the crown border die-namic to fancy it up. To further enhance the rock star theme, I ran the light blue layer through a star embossing folder.

A peek on the inside... I stamped another sentiment from the set, added another star and the skyline border die-namic to go with the "You rock my world" theme.

I popped up the skyline for more dimension...

MFT Teaser - Day 4


Hi and welcome to day 4 of MFT Teasers! There are some AWESOME goodies to see today, so I'll get right to it! I had a tough time choosing which set to work with but decided on the gorgeous Finishing Flourishes. This set is a must have!!! There are several sentiments that cover any and every occasion and they are nice and BIG! And such a pretty font! AND to top it all off, there are oodles of different sized flourish stamps to fancy up a card in no time! Here, I've stamped two different flourishes using ruby red and saffron inks on the left panel. I couldn't resist adding a Botanical Beauty flower with a large pearl center.


Detail shot:
And more flourishes inside...
Other die-namics I've used are the small scallop border, leafy flourish, and the scallop ribbon border. Satin ribbon, extra little pearls and a bit of piercing finish it up.
