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 jumped at the chance to pull out the new Behind the Camera Die-namics and Stamp Set.  I LOVE that I can make quick and cute cards and even quick gifts!  I whipped up a card and mini photo book in a jiffy, using minimal supplies.



I grabbed a MME Patterned Paper Pad and cut the camera out using the Behind the Camera Die-namics die in several patterns.  The camera is nice and big, so I just added a few details using the included stamps and dies, embellished a little, and I was done!  I added a couple strips of ribbon behind the camera to add a little pizazz.  The "SMILE" sentiment was stamped on the Mini Ticket Tab.  The black stripes were stamped on with Brilliance Graphite Black.



The bling circle is from my stash (Recollections brand - Michaels).



I finished off the inside with another camera die-cut.  



Next up, I wanted to make a cute little photo album to match the card.  I cut out 8 cameras using black card stock and decorated one of the pages with patterned paper, stamps, and bling.  I just love the little sentiments that are meant to be stamped around the camera lens.  They are so heartfelt and sweet.  I punched a hole in each page using my cropodile and bound them with a simple binder ring.




I added a sweet touch to the camera die-cut on my card, but it didn't show in the picture well, so I wanted to point it out to you.  It's the little touches that make each card special, and I was tickled pink about this simple detail.  I cut a tiny piece of acetate and adhered it behind the hole in the camera die-cut for a more realistic "view finder".  I just added a tiny bit of adhesive around the hole and stuck it on there.  




Here is the amazing new Behind the Camera Die-namics and Stamp Set.  I am in love with this!



It you haven't grabbed the Mini Tabs Foursome, now is the time.  These things are sweet, versatile, and useful!
