So Proud of You

Hey ya'll and thanks for stopping by today for MFT Teaser Time Day 2 (of 2).  I have a card using the soon-to-be-released (tonight at 10 PM EST in fact) à la modes stamp set, Grad Girl.  Isn't she sweet?  She is sporting a huge diploma to go along with her huge success.  :)


In light of her studious nature, I thought a Pretty Posies blossom made with newsprint patterned paper was fitting.  :) I added 2 of each layer and then curled up the edges with my fingertips.


Using the AMAZING Notebook Edge Die-namics die and then ripping it is my latest obsession.  Hunker down and prepare to see that "trick" a lot.  I am just in awe that it has a working perforation and well... what a waste it would be not to utilize it, right?


You know the rule: things look better in threes?  Well toss that idea out the window.  Sometimes 2 is *just* right.  I used the Button Quartet Die-namics die and stitched the 2 buttons on with linen thread (SU).






Here are some details about the release this Tuesday night:

  • The MFT release is on April 19th at 10 PM EST.
