It's Teaser Time!

Hello everyone and welcome to the start of MFT Teaser Time!  On August 4th, there will be a NEW release and it is packed with MFT goodness!  14 stamp sets, 4 new Die-namics, a new Triple Scoop Set, 4 Templates (one from me!), new felt, and SO much more!

Today, we are previewing 2 new stamp sets: Clearly Sentimental about Gardens & How Your Garden Grows

Here is what you need to know this week:
  • Each day, there is at least one new stamp set being given away on a designer's blog.  To be eligible to win, you'll need to have commented on that designer's blog for that particular day.  Make sense?  For your BEST chance to win a set, comment on ALL the teaser posts EVERY day. :)  Check Kim's blog every day for the winner(s). 
  • You can see a list of all participating designers on Kim's blog at 11 AM EST daily. 
  • The guest designer contest is ON!  Check out the forum for details on how YOU can win over $100 in stamp sets and play along with the DT for a month.
  • The release party is on August 4th from 8-10 PM EST in the forum HERE.
Now, let's get to the cards!  I have a card to share with each set that is being previewed today! 

First up we have my "green" card using the stamp set, Clearly Sentimental about Gardens.  I let the set be my guide and used the Basic Grey Origins patterned paper and the older stamp set, Grow Love (which I STILL LOVE).  I tethered on the sentiment with some wooden buttons from the Earth Girl Collection.  I LOVE those little buttons!  *swoon* 

By the way... this sentiment is innocent enough, right?  Well, when I was stamping this card, I was thinking of all the hilarious things you could do with it: legs sticking up out of dirt, buried remote controls, buried (insert anything you want to oust from your life).  Who has the courage?  LOL  Any takers?  *wink*  Maybe a fun dirt cake type of thing for Halloween?  Put on your thinking caps! 





My next card used How Your Garden Grows, the coordinating digi paper pack (will release on August 4th) with the same name, AND the Brand Spankin' New Die-namics die set: Flower Trio & Leaf Trio.  BOTH dies come in the set for only $11.95.  It's a steal.  And the leaves are TDF!

Let me disclaimer about this card: this card looks WAY better in person than it does on the screen.  I have the hardest time photographing bright red/orange.  *sigh*  PLEASE forgive my poor photography and focus on the cute little image.  :)  She is adorable and the flowers are too cute.  This set also lends itself to cards using just the flowers, which are both solid AND line images.  It's super versatile!
*end of disclaimer*


A peek inside showing you the solid flowers and stems.  They will make fun and easy cards!


Here is a peek at the new die set: ($11.95)

Remember to head over to Kim's blog at 11 AM EST to see the list of participating designers and remember to leave a comment on each one for your chance to win the How Your Garden Grows stamp set!

I'll see you tomorrow with even more teasers!  A little hint: tomorrow is all about Fred Bear for me and O M G I am in LOVE with the stamp set AND the die that I used with it.  *yay*

Until then...


Who just started singing the OLD song "Hammer Time" by MC Hammer?  *raises hand*
