Die-namics Feature - Pre-Release Pep Rally

Hi all and thanks for stopping by tonight.  Now that we've teased and tempted you all week long, it's almost time for you to shop for your favorite Brand Spankin' New products from MFT.

But first... it's time for our Die-namics Feature and Pre-Release Pep Rally!

Our Design Team has been busy creating jaw-dropping and inspiring projects for you, and we've saved the best for last.

We've taken an in-depth look at this month's Die-namics, while re-visiting the amazing sets being released tonight at 10 PM EST RIGHT HERE in the MFT Boutique.

And while we are at it, how about we make your life even easier with a "cheat sheet" of all that's new?  Head over to the MFT Blog to print out a shopping list.  


I covered myself head to toe in glitter to make this card using the soon-to-be-released Christmas Ornaments Die-namics and Stamp Set.



Here is a close-up of my 3 glittered ornaments.  Can you see all the AWESOME details?  And by awesome, I don't mean MY work... I mean all the ADORABLE pieces you get to work with!  Tiny holly leaf with embossing detail, TOPPER for the ornaments, and that TINY tag to stamp on!  I'm completely serious when I tell you I COOED when cutting that tag the first time.  It's SO darn cute!  LOL  


How to create glittered ornaments:
  • Cover patterned paper with sticky sheet adhesive
  • Die-cut ornaments out of patterned paper (that has been prepared as instructed above)
  • Remove liner and adhere ornament topper
  • Cover entire piece with glitter and burnish (rub in with your fingers)
  • Embellish as desired with the CUTEST Holly Leaf and Tiny Tag imaginable




There are tiny words in the set meant to be stamped on the tiny tag.  It's fun... and addictive.  :)  I used a tiny brad from Michaels to add my "berry" detail.  



I made a coordinating, but not quite matchy-matchy tag also.  Again, I used patterned paper for the ornament, but this time I did not glitter it.   Instead, I added the smaller of the two peace signs from the new Peace Signs Die-namics.  I tied on the tiny tag with some linen thread (SU) and tied a bow.  I mounted that on the smallest Decorative Doily Die-namics.  At the bottom, I used the new Crown Border Die-namics and added a hot fix pearl to each opening in the crown.  I used a piece of rope (Stampin' Up) at the top of my tag, which was die-cut using the Tag, You're It Die-namics die.



Here is one last look at the duo.



I was having too much fun with Die-namics and decided to make another card using the Vintage Cameo Frame Die-namics and Stamp Set.  It is just SO easy to make quick and elegant cards with it!  Like my card from a few days ago, I used the striking green/black/white color combo.  LOVE it.  :)  



Isn't that crackle stamp SO cool?  I stacked several Vintage Cameo Frame die-cuts on top of one another for a more dimensional look.



I went a little wild with the Prima flowers and crystals.  I just kept piling it on until it looked *just* right.  LOL  I also tucked a Crown Border Die-namics under all that jazz.  Look at what a clean impression I got with the stamp set!  I used Brilliance Black ink.  



 Here is a look at all the new Die-namics I used on my creations today.  :)

Snow

Hi everyone!  It's Day 6 of MFT Teaser Time, and that means it's time for Pure Innocence.  Of course there are plenty of cuties to be had this month.  


My card uses the Pure Innocence Ski Girl and Loopy Bloom Die-namics.



Here is my Loopy Bloom made with green My Favorite Felt.



In case you missed it earlier in the week, HERE is my video showing how to assemble the Loopy Bloom Die-namics die.




I added the word "snow" to the Mini Pennants Die-namics.  I add Liquid Applique to her beanie "fluff".  The patterned paper is a limited edition MME from Scrap Ace is no longer available, sorry.

I'd Come Unraveled Without You

Hi all and thanks for stopping by today.  We are on Day 5 (of 7) of MFT Teaser Time and today is à la modes day!  I just love these sweet little characters!  For my card, I chose Knit Happens and some pretty bright papers. (bright for me, anyway LOL)


I colored her using the colors in the paper, which meant it was WAY outside my comfort zone.  LOL  I used the Copic blending solution technique with some grosgrain ribbon to texturize her sweater and make it look knit.  The knitting needles were colored grey, then I covered them with Sakura glitter pen in silver.  The ground was drawn in with a fine-tipped marker.



Here is a peek at the decorated inside.  I added some die-cut snowflakes from Let it Snowflake Die-namics and along the top, added a strip of vellum cut from the Wonky Scallop Border Die-namics die.
