Howdy, Friend

Hi and thanks for stopping by today.  It's day 1 of MFT Teaser Time and I am SO excited to show you all my cards using the soon-to-be-released stamp sets over the next 5 days.  There are just so many sets packed with C-U-T-E!

My teaser today uses a new set that will enable you to make quick (and cute) cards in a snap!  Well Worn Greetings is a HUGE 6 X 8 stamp set that comes with a BIG 3 die set that layers together beautifully.  I just LOVE it. It's everything you need in one neat little BIG package.


The set includes 2 HUGE texture stamps that will work with any of the three pieces of the Die-namics die set.  I opted for the denim texture for the back layer (stamped with Color Box chalk ink in Blue Iris), gingham texture for the middle layer (stamped with Color Box Warm Red chalk ink), and on the front layer of the label, I stamped one of the included sentiments and a worn frame.  I just love how it all stacks together. 

Here is a close-up shot of my bling and blue jean border made with a denim knee patch found at Walmart and my Scallop Ribbon Die-namics die.  Look how cleanly it cuts!


Speaking of blue jeans and bling... this month's guest designer contest theme is *just* that.  This month, Frances and I want to see your best blue jeans and bling creation.  There is something awesome and textural (new word?) about mixing blue jean and bling and we can't wait to see what you come up with!  It's totally worth playing for with a prize of over $100 in stamp sets and the opportunity to play along with the design team for the next release and Wednesday Stamp Club sketches all month long.  Head over to the Guest Designer Contest to read all the details and learn how YOU can win the honor!

Want to see what the gorgeous Well Worn Greetings stamp set looks like?  Here is what you'll get:


Here are some ways you can mix and match elements in the set:


Here are the three pieces in the Die-namics die set, shown stacked.  They can be used individually or all together.


This is the die I used for the denim border.  It cut out the denim knee patch easily.
