MFTeasers: Day Four!


Hi everyone!  Happy Saturday!  Today is Day Four of MFTeasers...are you loving all the peeks so far?  Have you seen the new My Favorite Things website?  Oh.My.Word.  It is SO awesome!!!

I have two different MFTeasers for you today.  First up is the AWESOME new Contempo Cage Die-Namics and Stamp Set!  LOVE LOVE LOVE.

I started with my friend Karen's Sweet Sunday Sketch, SSSC136.  LOVE this sketch...it was perfect for what I had in mind (thanks Karen!).  All of the patterned paper is from Breeze by My Minds Eye.  Using the new Contempo Cage Die-Namics, I die cut the birdcage from Smokey Shadow Cardstock, and the birds from the Breeze patterned paper.  I added Black Baby Braddies for the birds eyes, and their wings were popped up with Jody Boosters.

Using the Button Quartet Die-Namics (I think this is my most used Die-Namics Die!), I die cut three buttons, two from cardstock and one from patterned paper, and threaded them with Twill Tape and Twine.  The sentiment, "A Little Birdie Told Me..." was stamped onto a patterned paper panel that I cut with the smallest banner die in the First Place Award Ribbon Die-Namics.  The layered circles under the sentiment were cut with the circle dies from both the Sweet Stack Labels Die-Namics and the First Place Award Ribbon Die-Namics.  LOVE how they layer so perfectly.


For the inside, I added some more patterned paper and finished off the sentiment with "Congratulations Are In Order" and it is stamped and layered using the Sweet Stack Label Die-Namics and Framed Greetings Die-Namics.  This card is going to dear friends of ours that finally got engaged!


Here are the Die-Namics I've used on this card:






Next up is the FAB new Bon Appetit Die-Namics and Stamp Set!!  The second I saw this set I knew I wanted to make a set of tags to add to boxes of Christmas cookies this season!

I started by cutting four tags out of Kraft Cardstock using the Tag You're It Die-Namics.  I then added some patterned paper, Peppermint from Crate Paper, and added a border with the Simply Scallops Die-Namics.  I cut out the jars with the Bon Appetit Die-Namics and stamped the edge around them.  I then cut them out again using the red patterned paper, which I then trimmed with my paper snips in a wavy line.  I added these to the tops of my jars to mimic the look of fabric covered jars.  I then wrapped the tops with some Peapod Green Twine.

Once all the jars were assembled, I attached them to ovals cut with the oval from Well Worn Greetings Die-Namics.  I then layered them onto red cardstock cut with the largest die in the Sweet Stack Labels Die-Namics.  Using the green patterned paper, I cut out the little oven mitts with the Bon Appetit Die-Namics and added them to the bottom of the jars.  A bit more Peapod Green Twine on the top and they were done!  I can't even wait to add them to some yummy cookies!


Here is a closeup of one of the tags...love that little oven mitt!


Here are the Die-Namics I've used on my card today:
