i have some more peeks for you today!
first up is the adorable Heartfelt


please click on the image to enlarge it

isn't she just the cutest? & she is SO fun to color!! my mom crocheted me so many wonderful hats like this when i was little! i made an easel card so i could stand it up on my desk & see her all the time until i mail her ;) -she makes me super happy!

i cut up my daughter's outgrown, red, corduroy dress to use with my Hearts A Plenty, button quartet and little open scallop strip dienamics on this project. the thick, heavy fabric needed to be shimmed and i ran it through the cuttlebug several times, but the dies cut it beautifully! Here's a tutorial to create an easel card by the fabulous Beate! i love standing cards!

Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black

i CASEd some design and elements from this masterpiece by Susan Liles. i was also inspired by the dozens of amazing sentiment cards that the entire MFT Design Team have been creating. i've been dying to try a card like this for a long time, and i'm thrilled with the results! you so NEED this set!!

i embossed the heart on MFT creme paper panels- their weight gives the embossing extra depth and richness-it looks amazing in person. my sentiment (1 of 2 in the set) is stamped on vellum and put on top of a sponged nestie shape. the cherubs are stamped on vellum and popped up. The gorgeous faux crochet border dienamic and MFT's swarovski pearls were a perfect finish!

Stamps: Inspired by Love (to be released Dec 1)

MFT Teasers Day3- Adorable New PI's

Yippee!! Today is the day the Dec team gets to share teasers of the newest, soon to be released Pure Innocence cuties! i adore the entire line of PI stamps, and these 4 new images are definitely all MUST haves! i have 2 cards to share with you today so let's get right to the cuteness:

First up is Pure Innocence, Love You With All My Heart


click images to enlarge

isn't she just precious? she comes with the 3 of the sweetest sentiments and 4 tiny extra sayings that can fit inside the heart she's holding- how i LOVE that! since this valentine is going to someone out of town, i chose to stamp 'Miss You' inside her heart. i also used the soon to be released Hearts A Plenty dienamic, along with a couple of others-the button quartet and the little open scallop strip. the music paper is digi-paper from MFT's Take Note collection. Simple, sweet and sure to make you smile- that's what i love so much about PI's!!

i added some glossy accents and a bling closure to her shoes-my daughter has an identical dressy pair:


here's the inside: can't get enough of my dienamics!


Stamps: Pure Innocence Love You With All My Heart
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black, CTMH dye ink in Hollyhock (sponging)
Paper: MFT creme paper panels, MFT fossil notecard, MFT wild cherry cardstock, MFT Take Note digi-paper, October Afternoon patterned paper (Modern Homemaker)
Accessories: copic markers, MFT swarovski crystals, MFT Dienamics (Hearts a Plenty, Button Quartet, Little Open Scallop Strip), nesties, cuttlebug embossing folders, glossy accents, cotton candy twine (TCP), dimensionals.


next up, is the super sweet Pure Innocence, Splish Splash

Isn't he just super cute splashin' with his little pup-EEK! i just love him and he's fun to color!
lately, i'm enjoing making tent cards! Here's an awesome tutorial from Beate on Splitcoast, if you'd like to try one! i had to include my Cloud trio dienamic, and i also used the Small Scalloped Border, and the button quartet dies. In addition to the sentiment that i used, the set comes with the 'Splish Splash' words too. i think it's such a positive & perfect message to include on a card that sits out on a desk/shelf for someone to enjoy!

here's a side view:


Stamps: Pure Innocence Splish Splash
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black, Memento Rich Cocoa
Paper: MFT paper panels, vellum, white and brown cardstock scraps (for base and button), My Mind's Eye patterned papers (True Blue)
Accessories: copic markers, MFT Dienamics (Button Quartet, Small Scalloped Border), nesties, MFT skinny ribbon (retired) glossy accents, Jody's dimensionals.

thanks so much for looking! i sure am having fun on the MFT Temp Team this month- hope you're lovin' everyone's eye candy- i know i sure am! be back soon with more YAY!!

MFT Teasers Day 1- Tweeny Teen

please click on photo to view a larger image

hello & welcome!! i am honored & thrilled to be a part of MFT's temporary design team this month! Can someone pinch me please 'cause i still think i'm dreaming!!

Starting today thru release day, Wed. Dec 1st, me, a bunch of my dear friends & fellow MFT fanatics (aka the MFT junkies) and the incredible MFT Design Team members will be bringing you teasers to get you inspired & stamping with us!

Please check out the MFT Blog each day for a list of participating designers and be sure to mark your calendar for the big release party on the 1st in the MFT forum on Splitcoast Stampers- i'd love to chat with you & share in the fun. MFT release parties ROCK and EVERYONE is welcome!

For my project, i worked with the sweet, soon to be released
Tweeny Teen- You Give Me Wings set.
Tweeny Teens are part of MFT's adorable and beloved Pure Innocence stamp line. As soon as i saw this sweetie, i knew she would be the focal image for a project for my daughter's room!

i started by saturating my plain wood clock base with turquoise blue glimmer mist until it had a deep color and tons of glimmer.

i used my cricut machine and MFT's Bling 'Bers template to cut out the shadows of the key numbers. After cutting, the numbers were then stamped on using MFT's Bling 'Bers stamp set and purple ink. of course they needed some bling too!

Because it's a small clock face, i decided to make flowers for the other numbers using MFT's Flower and Leaf Trio Dienamic . MFT's felt adds lovely texture, and MFT's princess pearls made pretty centers!

next, i stamped the image and sentiment onto an MFT white paper panel. i colored with copic markers, and cut the image out. A thick coating of stickles on her wings and a touch of spica glitter pen on her pant cuff seams added even more bling to the mix! the sentiment was stamped and cut with some pinking scissors.
here's a closer look (click on photo to enlarge it):


oooh--spy the pretty heart under the sentiment? it's a peek at part of the new, soon to be released MFT Dienamic Hearts a Plenty & it's another MUST HAVE! i pierced around the heart and i just LOVE how it looks!

The Jumbo RicRac Dienamic was used to embellish the face as well.

The image was popped up slightly using dimensionals, but the clock movement severely limits how tall you can layer images on a clock face-you may have to whittle away some wood to get enough clearance!

i had a ball making & sharing this project with you! i'll be back tomorrow with another project and a peek at more MFT goodies that will be available soon! thanks for visiting!
