MFTeasers: Day Four!

Hi everyone! Happy Friday!!

Welcome to Day Four of MFTeasers!!  YAY!  Are you loving this release so far?  Today I have two cards to share with you, both featuring the fabulous new Big Birthday Numbers!  This set is SO super versatile!

For my first card, I've paired Big Birthday Numbers with the previously released, and totally adorable, a la modes Big Birthday Wishes, and I kept this card a bit CAS.  I made this card for my precious Meredith...I cannot even believe she is going to be 7 in May!


I stamped her, the 7, and the sentiment onto a panel of X-Press It Blending Card and I colored her with Copic Markers.  The balloons were coated with Crystal Stickles for shine. 


I paper pieced the 7 (SO fun), with My Girl papers from My Minds Eye.  I sponged the edges a bit with Kraft Ink for some dimension.


I used the fab new Party Border Die-Namics, cut from more of the same patterned papers, and added some bling between each pennant.


On the inside, I used the Sweet Stack Labels Die-Namics to highlight another sentiment from Big Birthday Numbers, "Happy Birthday", and added some more bling.  I find with an (almost) 7 year old, the more bling, the better.


Here are the Copic Markers I've used on this card:


Here are the MFT products I've used on this card:



For my second card today, I've used Big Birthday Wishes all on it's own.  I think this set is going to get ALOT of use in my stamp room...it's awesome!  Another product I am unable to put down is the new Blueprints 1 Die-Namics.  SWOON!  I've used a sketch from the MFT Blog HERE again...it makes cardmaking SO super easy!

My friend's son is celebrating his 2nd birthday, and I created this card for him.  All of the patterned papers are Boy Crazy from My Minds Eye.  I stamped the 2 and then paper pieced it, once again, sponging the edges with Kraft ink for dimension.  I stamped "Today" underneath the 2.


The tag, cut from Kraft Cardstock, was perfect for the "You're" sentiment, and I anchored it to my card with Hemp Cord and a Red Hot Button.


On the inside I used the Blueprints 1 Die-Namics again, and stamped "Happy Birthday" using the GORGEOUS new Blu Raspberry Ink!


Here are the MFT products I've used on this card:
