June MFT Birthday Project!

Hi everyone! Happy Thursday!

It’s time for the June MFT Birthday Project, and this month, it’s all about birthday bears!!

For my card, I’ve used this SUPER dapper bear from Safari Party! I LOVE him! I cut him, his top hat and his bow tie from No-Line Coloring Card Stock using the Safari Party Die-namics, and then stamped them using Safari Party with Extreme Black Hybrid Ink. I colored the images with Copic Markers and added some highlights with a White Gel Pen.

The main panel of Smooth White Card Stock was cut using the A2 Stitched Rectangle STAX Die-namics. I used the same Die-namics to cut two different patterns from the Birthday Blowout Paper Pack. I cut a panel of Smooth White Card Stock using the Stitched Circle STAX Die-namics, and popped up my little bear with Foam Tape. The sentiment panel was cut from Smooth White Card Stock using the Stitched Sentiment Strips Die-namics, and I stamped “Bring on the Balloons” from Safari Party using Extreme Black Hybrid Ink. I popped up the sentiment strip with Foam Tape, and then finished off the card with a trio of enamel dots.

Tickled Pink That It’s Your Birthday! {CTD498}

Hi everyone! Happy Wednesday!

It’s time for a new Color Throwdown Challenge! This week, Lynn has challenged us to use the gorgeous combo of Peach, Pale Pink, Hot Pink and Green! LOVE!

These flamingos make me so happy! They are so fun and easy to create! I cut them using the Flamingos Die-namics from Pink Lemonade Card Stock, Ripe Raspberry Prestige Card Stock and Black Licorice Prestige Card Stock. SO fun! The heart was cut from Peach Bellini Prestige Card Stock and I coated it with a Clear Wink of Stella Brush Marker.

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 a panel of Green Room Prestige Card Stock, which I then cut again using the Grassy Fields Die-namics. I stamped “TICKLED PINK that It’s Your Birthday” from Tickled Pink using Ripe Raspberry Premium Dye Ink and Extreme Black Hybrid Ink. I popped up the flamingos using Foam Tape and then popped up the sparkly heart in between them.

Hello! {CTD497}

Hi everyone! Happy Wednesday!

It’s time for a new Color Throwdown Challenge! This week, Lori has challenged us to use coral, yellow, pale aqua and green! SO pretty!

I am completely and utterly obsessed with the new Stitched Blooms Die-namics. I cannot stop using them, and I thought this week’s colors were PERFECT with them! I cut the flowers and leaves from Lemon Chiffon Prestige Card Stock, Berrylicious Card Stock, Sour Apple Card Stock, Coral Crush Prestige Card Stock and Smooth White Card Stock. LOVE them!

The main panel of Smooth White Card Stock was cut using the A2 Stitched Rectangle STAX 2 Die-namics, and I layered on a circle cut from Kraft Card Stock using the Stitched Circle STAX Die-namics. I then layered on the leaves and flowers, popping them up with Foam Tape. The “hello” was cut three times from Smooth White Card Stock using the Hello Die-namics, and then added them to the circle panel as well. I finished off the card with a trio of aqua enamel dots.

June MFT & Friends!

Hi everyone! Happy Tuesday!

It’s time for the June MFT & Friends feature! The MFT Team, and friends, are sharing even more inspiration using fabulous products from the June MFT Release! You can find all of the new goodies right HERE in the MFT Boutique!

Today I have a card to share with you using the gorgeous new Moroccan Mosaic Die-namics!

I began with a panel of Smooth White Card Stock cut using the A2 Rectangle STAX 2 Die-namics, and I sponged on Abandoned Coral Distress Oxide Ink, Picked Raspberry Distress Oxide Ink and Squeezed Lemonade Distress Oxide Ink and blended them together. I spritzed the panel with water and put it aside to dry.

Using the Moroccan Mosaic Die-namics, I cut a panel of Gold Sparkle Card Stock. I cut another two mosaics from Black Licorice Prestige Card Stock, and then layered all three together with the gold panel on top. I added the mosaic to the distress ink background, and then cut “celebrate” three times from Black Licorice Prestige Card Stock, layered them together and then added the die-cut to the mosaic. I cut a panel of Smooth White Card Stock using the Essential Fishtail Sentiment Strips, and stamped “YOU HAVE A HEART OF GOLD” from Essential Sentiments using Extreme Black Hybrid Ink. I finished the card with a trio of Beetle Black Sprinkles.

Hello–Consider This A Hug! {CTD496}

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 aqua, black & white! LOVE!

I’ve used the gorgeous new Moroccan Mosaic Stencil and Hello Die-namics from MFT for my card. I began with a panel of Smooth White Card Stock cut using the A2 Rectangle STAX 2 Die-namics, and I placed the Moroccan Mosaic Stencil on top and sponged on Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide Ink, taking care to sponge lightly around the edges, and harder in the center, in order to obtain the variation of tone. Before removing the stencil, I sprayed the panel with shimmer mist, so the inked portion is SUPER sparkly in real life!

I cut “hello” four times from Black Licorice Prestige Card Stock using the Hello Die-namics, and then layered them together. I added the die-cut to my card, and then cut a panel of Black Licorice Prestige Card Stock using the Essential Fishtail Sentiment Strips Die-namics. I stamped “Consider This A Hug” from Lots of Hugs using Versamark Ink and then heat embossed it using WOW White Embossing Powder. I finished off my card with a trio of rhinestones.

Today I have a card to share with you using the ADORABLE new Just Beclaws and Just Beclaws Die-namics! I love this little crabs!

I mean, how CUTE are these little guys? I cut them, along with their sweet treats and the umbrella from No-Line Coloring Card Stock using the Just Beclaws Die-namics, and then stamped them using Just Beclaws with Extreme Black Hybrid Ink.

The main panel of Smooth White Card Stock was cut using the A2 Rectangle STAX 2 Die-namics, and I sponged on Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide Ink. I spritzed the panel with water, and when dry, I stamped “Have a Clawsome Day” from Just Beclaws using Versamark Ink and then heat embossed the sentiment using White WOW Embossing Powder. The “sand” was cut from Kraft Card Stock using the A2 Rectangle STAX 2 Die-namics and then again using the Snow Drifts Die-namics. I cut a strip of Tropical Teal Prestige Card Stock, coated it with Chunky Glitter, and tucked it under the sand. I cut the sun from Daffodil Prestige Card Stock and then added the crabs and umbrella, popping them up with Foam Tape.
