Hi everyone! Happy Tuesday!
It’s time for the MFT March Release! All of the new products are available right HERE, right now in the MFT Boutique!
Tonight, I am so excited to share three projects with you, all a different style, but all using the AWESOME new Inside & Out Stitched Rounded Square STAX Die-namics! My first card also features the new BB I Knead You, Paw Print Background, BB I Knead You Die-namics and Blueprints 23 Die-namics!
I seriously cannot stand the cuteness in the new BB I Knead You set! For this little cutie, I cut her from X-Press It Blending Card using the BB I Knead You Die-namics, and then stamped her using BB I Knead You with Black Licorice Hybrid Ink. I colored her with Copic Markers, making her the same colors, black and white, as one of my four cats, Elphaba! I popped her up with Jody Boosters onto a panel of Grout Gray Card Stock cut with the new Inside & Out Stitched Rounded Square STAX Die-namics. I added a little tab of Smooth White Card Stock cut with Blueprints 9 Die-namics and stamped with “JUST FUR YOU” from BB I Knead You using Black Licorice Premium Dye Ink.
The main panel of the new Tickled Pink Prestige Card Stock was cut with Blueprints 13 Die-namics, and stamped with the new Paw Print Background using Tickled Pink Premium Dye Ink. I added a strip of Steel Grey Card Stock and a scallop border of Smooth White Card Stock cut with the new Blueprints 23 Die-namics. Before attaching the focal panel to the card, I ran the entire card front through my big shot with the same die from Inside & Out Stitched Rounded Square STAX Die-namics, right where I was going to place the focal panel, so that I could add the extra stitched detail. LOVE. I finished off the front with a mat of Smooth White Card Stock cut with Blueprints 20 Die-namics, and a trio of rhinestones.
On the inside, I cut another panel of Tickled Pink Prestige Card Stock using Blueprints 13 Die-namics, and I added a mat of Smooth White Card Stock cut with Blueprints 20 Die-namics. I added a strip of Steel Grey Card Stock stamped with the Paw Print Background using Steel Grey Premium Dye Ink. I stamped another sentiment from BB I Knead You, “I LOVE MEW” using Black Licorice Premium Dye Ink.
My second card uses the Inside & Out Stitched Rounded Square STAX Die-namics again, this time for the two main layers of my card. I’ve also used the new Totally Happy set, LJD Circle Scribble Flowers Die-namics and LJD Scribbles Die-namics!
To create the flowers, I started by cutting three flowers from Smoot White Card Stock using the LJD Circle Scribble Flowers Die-namics, and then cut three flowers from LJD Scribbles Die-namics using Daffodil Prestige Card Stock. I then layered them together and added leaves, cut from Field Day Prestige Card Stock, using the LJD Circle Scribble Flowers Die-namics.
I arranged the flowers and leaves onto a panel of Kraft Card Stock cut with the Inside & Out Stitched Rounded Square STAX Die-namics, and stamped “SENDING HAPPY YOUR WAY” from Totally Happy using Black LIcorice Premium Dye Ink. I layered this panel onto a panel of Smooth White Card Stock cut with the Inside & Out Stitched Rounded Square STAX Die-namics stamped with the Diagonal Striped Background using Field Day Premium Dye Ink.
On the inside, I cut another two panels of Kraft Card Stock and Smooth White Card Stock using the Inside & Out Stitched Rounded Square STAX Die-namics, and stamped the Kraft Card Stock panel with “BE HAPPY AND SMILE” from Totally Happy using Black Licorice Premium Dye Ink. The Smooth White Card Stock panel was stamped with the Diagonal Striped Background using Field Day Premium Dye Ink.
My final card features the Inside & Out Stitched Rounded Square STAX Die-namics in a graphic way! I’ve also used the new Happy Trio Die-namics and LLD Stay Tuned set!
I started by planning out my design, and I cut an assortment of three different size squares using the Inside & Out Stitched Rounded Square STAX Die-namics. Once I decided where I wanted them to be, I used the dies to cut the main panel of Smooth White Card Stock, which I cut with Blueprints 13 Die-namics. The Wild Cherry Card Stock square was stamped with the Diagonal Striped Background using Wild Cherry Premium Dye Ink. The Orange Fizz Card Stock square was stamped with the Polka Dot Background using Orange Fizz Premium Dye Ink. The Daffodil Prestige Card Stock square was stamped with the Houndstooth Background using Daffodil Premium Dye Ink. The Green Room Prestige Card Stock square was stamped with the Grid Background using Green Room Premium Dye Ink. The Lavender Fields Prestige Card Stock square was stamped with the Swiss Dots Background using Lavender Fields Premium Dye Ink.
I used Ranger Silver Foil Card Stock to cut out the “happy” using the Happy Trio Die-namics, and I arranged it on top of the squares. You can see that some of the squares are popped up for dimension. I super love how you can see the stitched squares below the colored squares. I added rhinestones to finish off the front.
On the inside, I cut another two panels of Smooth White Card Stock using Blueprints 13 Die-namics and Blueprints 2 Die-namics for the mat. I cut another two squares and stamped them the same way I stamped the same colored squares on the front. After placing them where I wanted them, I again ran the panel through the Big Shot with the Inside & Out Stitched Rounded Square STAX Die-namics to get the extra stitched detail. I stamped “Birthday” from part of a sentiment from Stay Tuned using Black Licorice Premium Dye Ink to tie in the “happy” on the card front.
