Cupcake's Creations: MFT LJD Sweet Roses

Hi there! Today several of the MFT Design Team will be taking you on a tour of all the new products being released on April 9 at 10 PM EST right HERE in the MFT Boutique.

Today I have a mini album to share that was made using Die-namics Mini Album Bracket STAX featuring several photos of sweet Meredith and Griffin. I focused on the Chocolate Sentiments stamp set and combined several of the fun and verstile sentiments with rose blooms from LJD Sweet Roses.

Starting with the cover, I stamped a sentiment from Chocolate Sentiments on a die cut label made using Die-namics Layered Label. I stamped the larger rose image from LJD Sweet Roses on a die cut made using the coordinating die from LJD Roses and Leaves using Blu Rapberry ink. I topped it off with a Kraft button.

Page two features another fun sentiment from Chocolate Sentiments and a pair of Sweet Roses that were stamped using Blu Rapberry and Sno Cone inks. The leaves were stamped using Gumdrop Green and Sour Apple inks. I topped the small Sweet Rose off with a Grapesicle button.

Page three features another fun sentiment from Chocolate Sentiments along with another Sno Cone stamped Sweet Rose topped with a Whip Cream button.

Lastly, page 4 features another fun sentiment from Chocolate Sentiments and more Sweet Roses. All of the stamped / die cut hearts throughout the book were stamped using Kraft ink along with images from LJD Homespun Hearts and die cut using the coordinating Die-namics LJD Rustic Hearts.

Many thanks for visiting today ~ I hope you enjoyed my mini album as much as I enjoyed creating it!

MFT Supplies Used:

Hi there! Hope you all had a great weekend! Once Tina and I took our early morning bike ride, my family had a relaxing Sunday afternoon at home :) Technically, it's still Day 3 of the MFT April Teasers! You will be able to buy all the new stamps and Die-namics on April 9th at 10 PM EST right HERE at the MFT boutique. Although it's not my assigned day to post, I still have a trio of mixed media tags to share that I made featuring 3 beautiful sentiments included in the LJD Sweet Roses stamp set along with one of the fun designs from LLD Border It - Mod Borders. Since the color pink is one of my personal favorite colors, I'm going to share that one first ;)

The LJD Sweet Roses stamp set is full of sweet roses and MANY versatile sentiments. That is one of the reasons I opted to make a trio of tags :) The first tag features the you're a Sweet friend sentiment from LJD Sweet Roses.

ALL three tags are similar in that each feature a home made canvas rose that was made using Die-namics Layered Rose but nearly all the other embellishments are different. The rose shown on this tag was colored using a combination of MFT Razzle Berry ink and MFT Kraft ink. (Shown below is tutorial).

Up next is a tag featuring the Thank You sentiment from LJD Sweet Roses along with a Orange Fizz canvas rose. I randomly stamped on the tags using one of the fun images from LLD Border It - Mod Borders.

What's not to love about the look of Orange Fizz and Kraft together? :)

Last but not least is a tag featuring the Hello sentiment from LJD Sweet Roses along with a Blu Raspberry canvas rose.

Each tag also features a die cut border made using one of the dies from Die-namics Open Simply Scallops Trio.

In case you were curious to know how I created the canvas roses featured on my tags, here is a tutorial:
Step 1: Die cut canvas using Die-namics Layered Rose.

Step 2: Mix a several drops of preferred MFT ink in a mister and mix with about a Tablespoon of water. ***Test for desired color. NOTE: The richer the color desired use less water and more ink***

Orange Fizz and Kraft MFT Razzle Berry ink MFT Kraft ink. (Shown below is tutorial).

Step 3: Once dry, layer and attach using a brad.

Razzle Berry and Kraft

To create the texture on the tags, I mixed a small amount of Gesso with Molding paste, then randomly applied using a piece of mesh for the design.

Once molding paste mixture was dry, I misted the tags using the same colors as were used to create the roses.

I also custom colored coordinating ribbon for the tags using Kraft ink:

Thank you for visiting ~ I hope you enjoyed my tags! I'll be back Tuesday to share a project I made for the New Product Tour.

Be Sweet ;)
