Hi everyone! Welcome to the My Favorite Things VIP hop with June’s WTG!  If you didn’t start at the beginning and would like to, you can do that HERE.

June’s WTG is going green and instead of just one WTG image in the set, this time there are two! 

For one day only (today through May 19, 11:59 p.m. EST), you can purchase the VIP packge which includes the following:

• Who’s That Girl Goes Green stamp set ($17.95)
• What a Day stamp set (FREE, $9 value)
• Twill Ribbon Collection ($5.95)
• Die-namics Edge Die — Be one of the first to get a NEW Die-namics die which will be officially released on June 2nd ($11.95)

      JUNE VIP PACKAGE:  $35.85

Also now available is an adorable new set titled Costumes from Wonderland (which I’ve used here).

Sorry I was Late

When I first saw this set, I knew without a doubt which sentiment I’d be using first.  When my kids were small(er) and we’d be scrambling to get in the car, buckling car seats, etc., I always used to say “We’re late, we’re late…for a very important date.”  They’d giggle and cooperate.   It still works…sometimes.

It’s hard to see in the photo, but I popped up the bottom edge of Alice’s apron.  I used a Making Memories button to simulate a door knob and I drew in the little key hole.

I like to leave lots of room on the inside of my cards for personal notes so I stamped the remainder of the sentiment and used some of the ‘already cut’ pieces of patterned paper to “fancy it up” just a bit.

Your next stop along the hop is with JODY!  I’m sure she has something totally fab to share! 

Thanks so much for stopping by!  Happy hopping and shopping!

Hello.  🙂

I have another cute little Pure Innocence nurse to share today.  Literally, I do.  I have an extra set of My Favorite Things’ new Best Medicine as I’ve used here.  It’s a designer sample so there is no packaging, but it’s the cute little nurse with three sentiments, unused.  (I have my own.)  Leave a comment on this post and I’ll randomly select a winner Wednesday afternoon.  🙂

Get Well Soon

I used one of Jen’s recent SFYTT.  I shortened one of the panels but maybe she won’t notice.  🙂  I really like this sketch though.

The paper is new Thrift Shop by October Afternoon from Jacksonbelle Embellishments.

Along the bottom I’ve used MFT’s new Scalloped Scallops Die-namics border die.  (Love it!) 

For a quick finish on the inside, I stamped only the little first aid pail and left lots of room for some get well wishes. 

Thanks so much for stopping by!  Don’t forget to leave a comment for a chance to get this cute set for free!

Friendship is the Best Medicine

Isn’t she just too cute?  🙂  I layered MFT’s Jumbo Scallop Die-namics along the bottom, placing a small pop dot beneath each scallop on the upper layer.

After coloring the girl with markers, I paper-pieced her little gingham dress, then popped up her clipboard and the bottom edge of her apron.

I used one of the three cute sentiments that comes along with the set to finish the inside.

All of the new sets and products are available right here, right now.  But first, but sure to head on over to see what fabulousness JODY has to share.  🙂

Thanks for stopping by! Happy hopping (and shopping)!

Stamps:  MFT “Best Medicine” (Pure Innocence)  Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black, VersaMagic Wheat  Cardstock: Stampin’ Up Ruby Red, MFT cream Perfect Paper Panel  Patterned Paper: My Mind’s Eye Quite Contrary Jack & Jill  Accessories:  Copic markers (E000, E00, E31, E33, E35, E50, E51, R20, R27, C1, C3, Y0000), Prismacolor pencils, MFT Jumbo Scallops Die-namics border die, ribbon, Recollections mini-brads, button/string, sponge, dimensional boosters.  Finished size 4 ¼” x 5 ½”.

Today the My Favorite Things team is previewing three more of the May releases, Heart on a String (Jolinee), Clearly Sentimental about Fathers and the set I’ve used here, Meet Emma & Wyatt.

I Wanna Hold Your Hand

I paper-pieced Emma’s dress, added a tiny red brad in the flower in her hair, dotted her eyes with a black 3-d glaze pen and colored the remainder of the images with markers and pencils.

Along the bottom I used MFT’s new Jumbo Scallop Die-namics. 

For just a wee bit of almost unrecognizable fun, I created the ribbon panel so that when moved to the right, Emma shyly slides a little closer to Wyatt.  🙂

Wyatt is adhered to the card front with pop dots, and Emma is attached to the sliding piece.  To keep the band in the right spot, I created a “track”, placing a thin row of dimensional tape across the dotted panels.  The pieces behind Wyatt are adhered to the dotted paper and the back of Wyatt while the tape behind Emma is only adhered to the dotted paper.

And here’s the inside:   

NOW they are holding hands.  🙂

Again I placed a red brad in Emma’s hair flower, dotted her eyes with the gel pen and used the Jumbo Scallop Die-namics die across the bottom.

There is one more day of previews (tomorrow) with the May release tomorrow night at 10 p.m. EST.  All of the new sets, along with the new Die-namics dies and other fun products will be available then!

Be sure to check Kim’s blog HERE after 11 a.m. for direct links to more design team samples! 

Thanks so much for stopping by!  Have a great day!
