Hi all and welcome to Day 2 of MFT Teaser Time. Today, I have used Fred Bear GIves Comfort. 'Tis the season for sniffles, so I am sure this card will come in handy for someone feeling under the weather. Isn't Fred so cute holding the blanket, chicken soup, and tissues?
Fred is colored with Copic markers. I added Sakura Clear Glaze Pen to his eyes and nose.
The flower embellishment is a stack of Prima flowers with a flocked brad in the center.
I added lots of dimension by cutting out some portions of the image and paper-piecing them on with a thin glue dot.
I finished off the inside by stamping an included sentiment and Fred in a solid color ink.
I'm loving the new Mini Tabs Foursome.

Hi all! This past Thanksgiving holiday has me feeling extra thankful for all the wonderful things in my life. I have an amazing husband, three gorgeous and sweet children, a job I LOVE, and friends that feel more like the sisters I never had. Life is good. :)
The warm, fuzzy feelings led me to make this thankful card for MFT's Wednesday Stamp Club 48.
I kept with a very literal interpretation of the sketch and used the same Die-namics, Well-Worn Greetings, with the coordinating stamp set. The heart was cut from red felt using the Notched Tag Die-namics. I added a bit of flair by using the Simply Scallops Die-namics for some trim in cream card stock. This card felt "homey" to me, so I reached for some twill ribbon and added a big bow in lieu of using a floral embellishment, like the sketch. Feel free to take some creative freedom when designing cards using the sketches. They are only to be used as inspiration and you can change it up as you see fit. :)
I get asked pretty frequently HOW I stitch so perfectly around ovals and circles. I took some step-by-step pictures this time so you can see how I do it.
Die-cut your shape, and stamp as desired. (Ignore the messy heart, which I "fixed" with a felt heart for my finished project.) Use a pencil to lightly draw a line about 1/8" from the outer edge of your shape. Erase and re-draw as needed until you have it as smooth as possible and as evenly spaced as possible.
Now, use your sewing machine and stitch ONE STITCH AT A TIME, following your pencil line. The needle should poke THROUGH the pencil line. Keep your stitches as consistent as possible. It is especially AWESOME if you can finish in the same hole you started in. (like I did here)
Using a WHITE eraser, rub over your stitches to remove any remaining pencil lines that are showing. Depending on the thread you use, you may be able to skip this step. Now, pull the threads to the back and adhere.
You'll be left with a (mostly) perfectly stitched oval (or circle).
Here is this week's WSC sketch:

Hello there! It's MFT Teaser Time and you know what that means... in one short week there will be LOTS of new MFT goodness available to YOU. I've had a BLAST using all the new MFT Die-namics and stamp sets and can't wait for the rest of the week! But first, let me show you what I've created with the new Who's that Girl & Guy stamp set, May I Have This Dance? I loved it so much, I used it twice. :)
First up, I created this romantic card using May I Have This Dance?, Mini Tabs Foursome, and the new Skyline Die-namics (LOVE it).
The image was colored with Copic markers. I stamped a sentiment from the set on the Mini File Tab (LOVE the big ones, LOVE the new small ones). :)
The floral embellishment is a stack of various Prima flowers and a flocked brad.
Here is a peek inside the card. Check out the amazing Skyline Die-namics die. I LOVE it. The tiny window cutouts are ADORABLE. I used another included sentiment from the set.
After I made that card, I was feeling a romantic, black and white movie type of vibe and I decided to revisit the "monochromatic coloring" Copic technique and make another card. My goal was to make it look like a black and white polaroid picture. I used the Skyline Die-namics, and the NEW By the Letters Die-namics on this card, as well as the Hearts a Plenty and Homespun Birdhouse (heart) Die-namics dies.
I love the style of the alphabet. It is simple and sweet. It works with a large variety of styles from cute to elegant!
Here is a peek inside the card, using the Skyline Die-namics die again, as well as a beautiful sentiment from that stamp set.
Here are the soon-to-be-released Die-namics I have used on my cards.
