Today I'm featuring this mont's Triple Scoop Set, Pearls of Wisdom. It's loaded with such wonderful sentiments! The dp is from the Simple Stories Baby Steps 6x6 paper pad. Yep, it's baby themed but I loved the soft color palette for this card. I stamped one sentiment onto the dp then cut it out using the Decorative Doily Oval dienamic. I left most of the fancy little cut out pieces in to kind of give it a different look, then ran some hemp through the edges. Again, I used a few pieces from the new Fringed Perennial dienamic for the three circular embellies. There are copic colored pearls in the centers. I braided some MFT honeydew twine (I don't have girls, so I have to do girly things like braiding whenever I can, hehe!)and added it to the embossed sahara panel which is edged with the medium scallop dienamics. For the inside, I used the negative of the medium scallop dienamic, stamped another awesome sentiment from the Pearls of Wisdom set and added more chocolate (colored with copics) pearls. And if you're wondering, this card measure 5 x 5.




I know we still have a few more days of teasers to go, but I wanted to say how sincerely grateful I am for each and every comment!!! Reading them just makes me SO happy!

Enjoy the rest of the teasers from the utterly amazing MFT team!

Today I've decided to use the Inspired by Flowers set #4. Yum, Yum, YUMMY! There are three different flowers and four different sentiments in this set. I opted to not color in the mum and stamped one of the sentiments over it instead. There's a tiny bling in the flower center, can you see it? I used one flower from the new dienamic, Fringed Perennial, for my ribbon/button/thread/bling embellie on the lower left corner and added extra bling to the opposite corner. Some piercing on front and the postage stamp border dienamic and more piercing inside top it all off.



Thanks for stopping by! I KNOW you're enjoying the teasers and what's awesome is we're only on day 2, WAHOOOO!!!! Lots more super-cool-all-star-tea-ific stuff to show you! *wink*

See y'all tomorrow!

Hi, twice in one day! First, how about that new Who's That Girl?/Who's That Guy? set MFT is sneak peeking today?!?! UGH, I LOVE it!!!! I guess I was in a Who's That Girl mood because I thought this one, Who's That Girl Gets Cozy with Cocoa was perfect for this week's WSC48! It took a little time, not much, but was well worth paper piecing her sweater AND her gloves and scarf! Oh, and the background around her! Almost forgot! I love how it turned out, so yes, well worth the time, if you ask me! The cup o' cocoa was colored with copics. The flower was made using the loopy bloom dienamic. After I ran it through my 'Bug, I cut it in half, rolled it up and got this look. LOVE how versatile it is! The sentiment is also from that same set.


I also used the You Move Me dienamic, added some baja ribbon, piercing and silver pearls to finish her up!
Thanks for stopping by and don't forget, there are more peeks tomorrow!

Hugs,

    First up this month is May I Have This Dance? which is the newest Who's That Guy? Who's That Girl? set! I just love this sweet couple and all of the awesome sentiments that come with it!!! Perfect for no-brainer Valentine's and anniversary cards, among other occasions. His jacket and her dress were paper pieced and I colored the rest with copics, but I did go over his shirt with a white gel pen. I've paired them with the new Skyline Border dienamic for a cool "night out on the town" feel. I added glittered dp behind it so you can see "lights" through the cut out windows. And you see her "diamond" bracelet? It's covering a boo-boo, shhhh... ;)

    TS Monday - non-traditional Christmas

    Hi all! I had a wonderful Thanksgiving and can hear the gym calling my name! LOL! Hope everyone else had a fab weekend and is getting in the Christmas spirit! Speaking of Christmas, here's a card I made for this week's TS Monday blog challenge - to make a Christmas card using NON-traditional Christmas colors. I decided to break out Going to Town Gus. Hehe, he cracks me up! The sketch is from the Sweet Stop sketches #136. I paper pieced his hat and suit and added liquid applique. Everything else was colored with copics.


    Kept everything else simple. Well, I've got LOTS 'O stampin to do... ;)

    Holy Hannah! Don't you LOVE when your computer doesn't cooperate!?!?! Anywhoo.... here's my card for this week's WSC. Had to use this sweet girl since Thanksgiving is tomorrow. Lots of paper piecing. I used the Tag You're It dienamic to cut out the cork.
