MFTWSC22 - TuTu Cute!

 Frances has a fabulous sketch for us this week! I didn't even have to cheat this week, the sketch was already a square!

I decided to ink up the very sweet Ballet Millie for this sketch. She was the perfect fit for the circle. Speaking of a perfect fit, these papers from My Mind's Eye Lime Twist collection were just perfect for this image and this sketch!

I added a little stitching and some Certainly Celery ribbon. The final touch was the scallop border created with the Die-namics Simply Scallops.

TCPTUES160 - Sketch Challenge

This weeks TCP Challenge was a fabulous sketch! I didn't have much stamping time this week but I really wanted to ink up my TCP stamps for a little stamping fun.

I decided to ink up one of my favorite penguins from By the Sea. I colored him with Copics and added some glaze. I recently ordered the waves Cut up die, but until it arrives I used the waves from A Whale of a Time.

I used the Cut Ups Pinwheel die on the front of the card but I trimmed it down a bit from it's original size as I didn't want the pinwheel to be the focal image on the front of the card. On the inside of the card I left the pinwheel in it's original form. To make the pinwheel smaller, I just trimmed 1/4" off of each side.

I used some Hot Fudge and Sour Apple card stock. The patterned paper is from My Mind's Eye Lime Twist collection. I finished of the card with some yummy twine.

 

MFTWSC21

It's time for another MFTWSC sketch! This weeks sketch is a bit challenging but definitely fun!

I inked up a sentiment from the new Well Worn Greetings stamp set. I love the vintage feel to these sentiments! I decided not to go vintage for the rest of the card! Instead, I used some fun, bright papers from My Mind's Eye Lime Twist Line. The card stock is Ballet Blue. I finished off the card with some SU Grosgrain ribbon.

 I used a number of Die-namics dies, the Die-namics Four Points die was used for the sentiment on the front of the card. I also used the Die-namics Zig Zag Border die. On the inside of the card I used the Die-namics Well Worn Greetings die.

TCPTUES159 - Flower Challenge

 This weeks TCPTUES159 challenge sounded like it would be a breeze! Ha! The challenge this week is to use flowers on your project. Little did I know how few TCP flower stamps I have. A Beary Good Year came to my rescue!

I stamped the PJ image on a piece of X-Press It card stock and I colored him with Copics. PJ looked like he needed a few polka dots on his belly so I paper pieced it. I added some Doodlebug Designs yellow glitter to the center of the flowers. I stamped a few extra of these flowers to use in other places on the card.

I used some Red Hot and Black Licorice card stock. The patterned paper is from October Afternoon. I finished off the card with some May Arts ribbon and some white dots. I haven't used the white dots on a card in ages!

Hope you are enjoying the rest of your long weekend!

MFTWSC20 - Thank You!

 It's time for MFTWSC20! Wow, can you believe that we are already at 20? For this weeks sketch I went for a bright, bold look.

I used some Kiwi Kiss and Black Licorice card stock. The patterned paper is from October Afternoon. I stamped the sentiments on pieces of October Afternoon using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I wanted to make the sentiments pop a bit more so I added a bit of glaze to the Thank You on the front of the card. I used the Die-namics Well Worn Greetings die along with the Die-namics Four Points die for the sentiment.

I finished the card with a few hearts created with the Die-namics Hearts a Plenty die and the Die-namics Button Quartet die. I tied the three elements together with some MFT Charcoal Twine. I also used the Die-namics Simply Scallops Medium die.

TCP158 - Color Challenge

 

 

This weeks TCP Tuesday challenge is a color challenge. Spring Moss, Bashful Blue and Grey. It was the perfect time to ink up What a Blast. I just love this little bear! I stamped him on a piece of X-Press It card stock and I colored him with Copics. I used some of the gorgeous Lime Twist paper from My Mind's Eye. The card stock is from Stampin' Up!

I added a few brads from Basic Grey. I made a few pinwheels with the amazing Pinwheels die. The patterned paper is double sided and the back side did not fit the color scheme so I added some grey card stock to the back of the paper before I shaped it in to the pinwheel

 

 

  

Teaser Time - à la modes I Need Some Face Time

 It's time for our mid month teasers! This month we have two stylin' new à la modes stamp sets for you and an amazing VIP package! I have some exciting news to share with you about the à la modes!

In the past, we've released our à la modes images in cling rubber, however, this month, we're releasing both of our à la modes in clear photopolymer, just like the rest of our stamps.  This means that we can bring them to you a slightly lower price point than usual - $9.00 each!  How fabulous is that?!  Since our clear stamps are made in the USA, they are of the highest quality, so you'll have the same great image quality that you're accustomed to with any of our other clear stamps!  Sweet deal right?

Today we are previewing the fabulous new à la modes I Need Some Face Time. Such a great image! I stamped the image one a piece of X-Press It card stock and I colored her with Copics. I used some Cosmo Cricket patterned paper and buttons. The card stock is Spearmint.

For the sentiment on the inside of the card I used the fabulous new Die-namics Well Worn Greetings die set. Oh how I love my Die-namics!

  The new stamp sets and the VIP package will be available on April 17th, at 10 PM EST.

The MFT Blog Hop & Shop will take place Tuesday May 17th at 10PM EST time.
