I used the larger of the two Fishtail Banners from First Place Award Ribbon Die-namics on my card.
I just love using the sweet icon dies in my cards from Notched Tags Die-namics.

You Come to Love... - WSC 58
Pin It
It's time for MFT Wednesday Stamp Club and I am super excited that I have kept my streak going. That's 58 in a row! :) Hope you've joined in this year and are making it a goal to stamp all 52.
The sketch this week is perfect for sentiments, and I chose a sweet sentiment (that I absolutely love) from the stamp set, Clearly Sentimental about You. Goodness knows my husband has to chant this to himself. *wink* This one came together nice and easy. Just a couple layers and a simple, stamped sentiment. I used the heart die from Notched Tag Die-namics to create an embellishment that fit in the circle. Just a little touch of love to drive the point home. :)
I took a little bit of creative freedom with the sketch and rotated it, then tucked the fishtail behind the front panel, but that is AOK. Follow your creativity!

Love Gives Us a Fairytale - NEW MFT Products Available NOW
Pin It
Hi all and welcome to the MFT New Product Tour. All the NEW products we've been teasing and tempting you with over the past 7 days are available NOW! Buy the newest stamp sets and Die-namics HERE.
I have an idea of what can be first (second, third, and fourth) on your list...
Botanical Beauty Die-namics anyone? :) This flower is a must-have. No matter how you stack it, it's gorgeous! *swoon*. For this card, I cut the flowers in pink card stock (Rose Red - SU), and the centers in Kraft card stock. I stacked the smaller 2 sizes together and then added all 3 center pieces. I just LOVE those center pieces. I cannot get enough.
The sentiment is from Clearly Sentimental about Romance and was stamped on the new Vertical Greetings Die-namics die. It is a nice sized die that will fit many large sentiments. I wanted to add a "crown" to the sentiment panel, so I snipped off three sections from the new Monarch Border to create one.

Let me not get ahead of myself though... I have a card set to show you using the soon-to-be-released Vertical Greetings Die-namics and Stamp Set. I LOVE this stamp set! It's encouraging, sweet, and sized to fit on the Vertical Greetings die, with plenty of room for personal touches and embellishing.
I used the AMAZING Botanical Beauty Die-namics on each card, and paired it with an unlikely "Rock Star" paper pad from Prima. Confession: I purchased the paper pad at Michael's one day. When it rang up, it was $.01. LOVE that. LOL
OK, on to the LONG post containing all 4 cards. I couldn't resist... I had to make one card with each of the 4 included sentiments because I couldn't choose which one, or two, or three to use. LOL

For this card, I used a yummy mix of patterns, ribbon, and embellishments. The ruffled ribbon was a local stamp store find. I created the flower with Melon Mambo card stock, Hot Fudge card stock, and some hand-placed vanilla Swarovski crystals. When I create my Botanical Beauty flowers, I place a black, red line dimensional dot between each layer to make it more full, and allow each layer to "shine". I tucked an elongated Mix & Match Banner behind my sentiment panel.
I cut the Vertical Greetings Die-namics die with kraft and patterned paper, and then cut some off the patterned piece and adhered it to the sentiment panel to add a little pizazz. I added lots of cream stitching to this card.
I just adore this sentiment! What a beautiful thing to say to a friend who is going through a rough patch.
I switched up the color combo for the next card and chose some funky teal and greens. I love the flower in these bright colors. I found a cool SU brad in my stash, and it worked perfectly. The center was open, and I was wanting to incorporate some Glittered Skittles, so I hot glued one in the center and then used three as embellishments. The patterns on this card are a little crazy, but I think they just *work*. LOL

These little embellishments are rarely used by me, but I loved finding them in my "greens' embellishment drawer. They are just what I needed. :)
I added a line of zig zag stitching to the sentiment panel to jazz it up a bit without going overboard.
I curled each petal up slightly by molding it with my fingers. It gives the flower a bit more life.
While I was in a "crazy color combo" mood, I decided to go this route and mix pink, green, and brown. I love the bold mix of colors. I added plenty of crystals to this one, and the new Monarch Border provided the perfect perch for 10 Swarovski crystals.

I went "tone on tone" for the Monarch Border so it wasn't so distracting. There was a lot going on, on this card.
Rounding out the foursome is this pink and brown(s) card. I created another pink flower and added a MME crystal button to the center. I added some cuts from the Vertical Greetings die to the top and bottom for a decorative touch. For a change of pace, I stamped the sentiment in Melon Mambo ink. I added an elongated Mix & Match Banner and lined it with 3 mm vanilla Swarovski crystals. The card was looking a little plain, but I didn't want to add anything else, so I curled up the edges of the layers. It gave it the little *extra* touch I was looking for.

The crystal button had a loop on the back that I cut off, then I used hot glue to adhere it to the flower.
Raise your hand if this is going on your shopping list. :)

Always in Harmony
It's day 6 of MFT Teaser Time and you know what that means... Pure Innocence day! Oh how I LOVE the sweet little Pure Innocence characters and this month is no exception.
I wanted to put a vintage spin on this card using Violin Girl Pure Innocence. I found some fitting papers by October Afternoon, and embellished the card with a gorgeous stitched flower I found in my stash. A kraft button in the center was the finishing touch.
She was colored with Copic markers.
This stitched flower was in my stash. It was a gift from Miichele several years ago. I added a kraft corduroy brad in the center (SU). I like the different textures together.
The sentiment was stamped on the File Tab Die-namics.

So Sorry
Hello all! It's day 3 of MFT Teaser Time and I am excited to be sharing this card with you. It's sweet and simple, and executes an idea I've had since I first saw the new Pet Charms Die-namics. I envisioned creating a stitched collar with eyelets running all the way down the center (evenly spaced of course LOL). I envisioned the collar threaded through the buckle and the dog bone charm handing from it. Well... I envisioned THIS:
Sometimes you just have to keep it simple to keep the focus on what YOU want it on. In this case, the amazing new Pet Charms Die-namics and the "collar". I went with a "gender neutral" color combo, and kept the patterns to a minimum.
I wanted to incorporate the new Clearly Sentimental about Pets (this month's Triple Scoop Set) with the new Pet Charms Die-namics and decided to create a pet sympathy card. I cut apart the words "So Sorry" from one of the sentiments to stamp it on the dog bone die-cut.
Inside the card, I included the entire sentiment, as well as another of the charms, a cute "reverse" paw print. I'm not looking forward to having to use this card at any point, but I am glad I will have it on hand, as I cannot imagine losing one of my " fur babies".
Speaking of fur babies... I don't want to miss the opportunity to share my fur babies with you. :) These are our sweet puppies, Puffle and Ripley. Puffle is a little over 2 years old and Ripley is a little under 2 years old. They are both so sweet and have such different, but cool personalities.
Puffle AKA Princess Puffle. She loves sitting or laying on pillows and is quite vocal about what she wants. Totally spoiled! :) What is a puffle? Check it out HERE.
This is Ripley. Named after Ripley in the movie, Alien. This picture is from tonight. She grabbed a tortilla chip that someone dropped on the floor during dinner and held in her mouth for a solid 30 minutes. LOL She is quirky, mellow, and very sweet.
