Walk Tall...

Hi there!  It's time for MFT Wednesday Stamp Club 73!  We've come a long way (pun intended). For this week's card, I reached for the adorable Giraffe Girl Pure Innocence.  I cannot get enough of her!  



Giraffe Girl is colored using Prismacolor Pencils.  The flowers were made using Large Royal Rose and Royal Leaves Die-namics.  The "Walk Tall" sentiment was stamped on the Mini Bracket Tab.





The inside was finished off with a sentiment from the stamp set and the Mini Monarch Border Die-namics.








Here is the sketch for you.  I hope you'll play along.  :)





Remember, you can get all the details by visiting the MFT Blog and the MFT forum on SCS (look for the most recent WSC thread).  You'll need to upload your card in the SCS gallery using the keyword shown on the sketch.

Fun in the Sun - MFT VIP Time!



Hi all and thanks for stopping by.  It's time for the MFT VIP New Product Tour!  The newest VIP Collection, Fun in the Sun, is available right NOW, right HERE.  It is only available in limited supply, so grab yours while you can.  

You'll want to see what the rest of the team came up with using the contents of the VIP collection, so head over to the MFT Blog for a complete linked list.

I made a card with each of the adorable Pure Innocence stamp sets included in the Fun in the Sun VIP Collection.  First up, my card using Hula Girl and the AMAZING new Hibiscus Die-namics die.  Let's just say it was love at first sight.  :)  



I used the Notched Border Die-namics and one of the sentiments from the FREE Fun in the Sun Sentiments Stamp Set.



The Hibiscus Die-namics is GORGEOUS.  It's a "tab" style flower, which creates some fun dimension.  It includes an embossed, tropical leaf and a cool center.  There are even emboss lines on the flower petals, giving it more character.



Hula Girl is colored with Prismacolor Pencils.  I added a bright blue shadow behind her. 



Here is a peek at the inside of the card which includes another sentiment from the Fun in the Sun Sentiments Stamp Set.



Here is my soft n' summery Sprinkler Girl card.  I used a more muted color palette on this one.n  I wanted to include a sentiment on my card, but couldn't find a spot for it, so I stamped it on the Mini File Tab and have it sticking out of the card a tad.  



She is colored with Prismacolor Pencils and her bathing suit is paper-pieced.



I used the Sunshine Die-namics and split up the levels so one is on top of the main image panel.



Here is a peek inside, showing one of the sentiments included in the stamp set.





Here, you see all that comes in the Fun in the Sun VIP Collection.  SO many possibilities!  



Ready to see what the rest of the team has in store?  Head on over to the New Product Tour on Kim's blog.

Grab your Fun in the Sun VIP Collection before it's sold out.

The Best Things in Life...

Hi all and welcome to MFT Wednesday Stamp Club #72!  


I made a quick and easy card using a quick and easy stamp set, Vertical Greetings II Die-namics and Stamp Set.  I went for a bold color combo, and bold embellishments.



The card is adorned with a zillion brads (ok, 21) and a crystal flourish that I cut apart to suit my needs.   I added a strip of Black Licorice Ribbon and curled up the edges of the patterned paper edges for the finishing touch.





Here is the sketch for you.  I hope you'll play along.  :)

Cute-a-tude

Hi all and thanks for stopping by today!  I have a card for MFT's Wednesday Stamp Club that is full of SASS!  I just adore this Cute-a-tude Pure Innocence and couldn't resist using her today!  *squeal*  Look at that stance, and that mouth... and those hands on those hips!  SO cute!



She is colored with Prismacolor Pencils.  I drew in the grass.  The adorable sentiment is stamped on the Mini Ticket Tab.



The flower was created with the Mini Royal Roses and Royal Leaves Die-namics dies.  I cut the flower with "patterned paper" and then sanded it for a different look.  I also added a Monarch Border, which I distressed with a sanding block.  



I finished off the inside with a sentiment from the set.



Here are the dies I used on my card:

Happy Birthday - Wish BIG

Hi all!  It's MFT Wednesday Stamp Club #70 and I have a simple card using a fun (and BOLD) stamp set, Big Greetings!  I just LOVE this stamp set!



I went for a bold green, black, and white color combo.  LOOK!  NO stitching!  :)  It would have been a little much for this card, so I let the style be my guide and went without!   The sentiment was stamped, then cut out with Circle STAX Set 1 Die-namics.  I then matted the sentiment with Circle STAX Set 2.



The monotone flower was created with my favorite flower (for now), Botanical Beauty.  I stamped a second sentiment on one of the Fishtail Flags STAX Die-namics, another one of my "go-to" dies.



I cut out some patterned paper strips to use as "ribbon".










Here is the sketch for you.  I hope you'll play along.  :)
