Eek! Spooky Times Ahead! {CC148}

 Hi everyone! Happy Thursday!

It's time for a new MFT Color Challenge, and we have a spooky color combo for you this week! This week, we are using Grout Gray, Steel Grey, Orange Zest and Blueberry! Great combo!

I began with a panel of Grout Gray Prestige Card Stock cut using the A2 Stitched Rectangle STAX Die-namics, and I used the same Die-namics to cut a panel of Steel Grey Prestige Card Stock and patterned paper from the Creepy Confections Paper Pad! I stamped the Steel Grey Prestige Card Stock panel using the large bat and the skull from Ghostly Greetings using Steel Grey Premium Dye Ink. I then added the horizontal piece of patterned paper from the Creepy Confections Paper Pad.

I cut circle of Blueberry Prestige Card Stock using the A2 Stitched Circle STAX 2 Die-namics, and sponged the edges using Blueberry Premium Dye Ink. I cut the gravestone, ghost and pumpkin from No-Line Coloring Card Stock using the Ghostly Greetings Die-namics and then stamped them with Extreme Black Hybrid Ink using Ghostly Greetings. I colored them with Copic Markers and then popped them up onto the circle panel with foam tape. The sentiment panel of Smooth White Card Stock was cut using the Skinny Strips Die-namics, and I stamped the sentiment from Halloween Hoo using Extreme Black Hybrid Ink. I finished the card with a trio of orange enamel dots.

Hello! Miss Your Face! {WSC504}

 Hi everyone! Happy Wednesday!

It's time for a new MFT Sketch Challenge, and I ADORE this week's layout!! 

I began with a panel of Black Licorice Prestige Card Stock cut using the A2 Stitched Rectangle STAX 2 Die-namics, and I then took the panel and embossed it using the All The Stars Cover-Up Die-namics. SO hard to photograph, but it looks so cool IRL.

The patterned paper, from Creepy Confections Paper Pad, was cut using the Tall Tag Duo Die-namics. I cut three strips of Silver Sparkle Card Stock and then added them to the main panel. I then added the tag, popping it up with foam tape.

I used the Sweet Hello Die-namics to the die-cut sentiment, and cut the background from Translucent Vellum, and the "hello" three times from Smooth White Card Stock. I layered the panels together, added them to the Translucent Vellum panel and then added the die-cut word to the card. I cut a strip of Black Licorice Prestige Card Stock using the Skinny Strips Die-namics, and stamped "Miss Your Face", from Little Love Notes, using Versamark Ink and then heat embossed it with white embossing powder. A trio of enamel dots finished the card!

All of these darling animals were cut from No-Line Coloring Card Stock using the Better Together Die-namics, and I stamped them with Extreme Black Hybrid Ink using Better Together.

 Hi everyone! Happy Monday!

I am having SO MUCH FUN with the new MFT Better Together Card Kit! This darling new kit releases tomorrow at 10AM in the MFT Boutique!

I am in LOVE with the new paper pad in the Better Together Card Kit, the Road Trippin' Paper Pad! The plaid I've used in my card today is my favorite! I began with a panel of Smooth White Card Stock cut using the A2 Stitched Rectangle STAX 2 Die-namics, and I used the same Die-namics to cut the plaid pattern from the Road Trippin' Paper Pad. I chose to pair the plaid with the teal polka dot panel, and added it horizontally.

I cut a panel of Smooth White Card Stock using the A2 Stitched Circle STAX Die-namics, and used that as a base for the car, which is SO fun to create! I cut the car using the Carpool Die-namics from Gumdrop Card Stock, Black Licorice Prestige Card Stock, Smooth White Card Stock, and for the bumper, Silver Shine Card Stock. SO fun! 

The darling trio were all cut from No-line Coloring Card Stock using the Better Together Die-namics and stamped them with Better Together using Extreme Black Hybrid Ink. I colored them with Copic Markers and then popped the car and animals up with foam tape. I added a trio of enamel dots, and the sentiment panel is a strip of Smooth White Card Stock and I used Extreme Black Hybrid Ink.

It's time for a new MFT Sketch Challenge, and I LOVE this week's layout!  I've used some goodies from the Vault Release for my card...Polynesian Paradise, Polynesian Paradise Die-namics and Tiki Hut Die-namics! SO fun!

The tiki hut was cut from Kraft Card Stock, and I sponged the edges of the "straw" pieces with Kraft Premium Dye Ink. I used Jellybean Green Card Stock for the inside of my hut.

Today, I have a card to share with you using the ADORABLE Pure Innocence Book In Hand and Book In Hand Die-namics! LOVE her!

I cut this cutie from No-Line Coloring Card Stock using the Book In Hand Die-namics, and I stamped her with Book In Hand using Extreme Black Hybrid Ink. I colored her with Copic Markers and put her aside. I used a white gel pen to create a marbled look to her notebook. 

The main panel of Smooth White Card Stock was cut using the A2 Stitched Rectangle STAX 2 Die-namics, and I used the same Die-namics to cut two different patterns of paper from the Positively Peppy Paper Pad, which I LOVE.

Ahoy Mate! The MFT Vault is Opening!

 Hi everyone! Happy Monday!!

We are almost there, friends! The MFT Vault is opening tomorrow at 10AM in the MFT Boutique, and there is SO MUCH goodness coming your way!!

Today I have a card to share with you using a set I am SO EXCITED to see come out of the vault, Party Like a Pirate, and of course, the Party Like a Pirate Die-namics! I, totally unexpectedly (lol) created a slimline card with this set using the newly released Slimline Starter Die-namics!

I began by cutting a panel of Smooth White Card Stock using the Slimline Starter Die-namics, and I then used the same Die-namics to cut a panel of Kraft Card Stock. I then cut the Kraft Card Stock panel again using the Snowy Scene Builder Die-namics, to create two separate sand dunes. I sponged the Smooth White Card Stock panel using Blu Raspberry Die-namics using the Mini Cloud Edges Stencil, and then added the sand dunes. There is a seam where they meet, but that was easy to disguise using the treasure chest from Party Like a Pirate! Before attaching the dunes, I cut a strip of Tropical Teal Prestige Card Stock using the Ocean Waves Die-namics, and tucked it behind the dunes so the ocean would peek out.

All of these ADORABLE images were cut from No-Line Coloring Card Stock using the Party Like a Pirate Die-namics, and I stamped them all using Extreme Black Hybrid Ink. I colored all of the images with Copic Markers, and then added them to the scene, popping them up with Foam Tape. I stamped, "Ahoy, Mate", from Party Like a Pirate, using Extreme Black Hybrid Ink.

The August MFT Vault is Opening!

 Hi everyone! Happy Sunday!!

I am SO excited! The MFT Vault is opening again!! The newest Vault Release will be available on Tuesday, August 18th at 10AM in the MFT Boutique!

I am SO DELIGHTED that the Seaside Seagulls and Seaside Seagulls Die-namics are coming out of the vault! This has to be one of my all time favorite sets- and I've used it today along with the newly released Slimline Starter Die-namics to create a slimline card! LOVE!

I began with a panel of Smooth White Card Stock cut using the Slimline Starter Die-namics. I sponged the panel with Distress Oxide Inks to create my sky. I used the same Die-namics to cut a piece of patterned paper from the Woodgrain Whimsy Paper Pad for the "dock". I again used the same Die-namics to cut a panel of Blueberry Prestige Card Stock, and I then cut it again using the Ocean Motion Die-namics, which is my "ocean".

I cut the seagulls and clouds from No-Line Coloring Card Stock using the Seaside Seagulls Die-namics and then stamped them with Extreme Black Hybrid Ink using Seaside Seagulls. I colored them with Copic Markers and then popped them up onto the scene using foam tape. The sentiment, "I'M SO GLAD YOU'RE MINE, MINE, MINE" (hehe) was stamped using Extreme Black Hybrid Ink.

 Hi everyone! Happy Wednesday!

It's time for a new Color Throwdown Challenge, and this week, Lisa has challenged us to use the gorgeous combo of peach, aqua and Kraft! Just SO pretty!

I needed a Congratulations card for a little girl, and these colors were just perfect! I began with a panel of Smooth White Card Stock and I sponged on Tattered Rose and Speckled Egg Distress Oxide Inks and blended them together. I cut the panel using the Lots of Hearts Cover-Up Die-namics, and then splattered the panel with white acrylic paint.

When the panel was dry, I matted it against a panel of Smooth White Card Stock. I cut a strip of Kraft Card Stock and stamped "CONGRATS" from the Welcome, Baby set using Versamark Ink. I heat embossed the sentiment with white embossing powder and then popped it up with foam tape. A trio of clear enamel dots completes my card.

Check out what the rest of the team has created with these super fun colors!
