Hi everyone!  Today the My Favorite Things team is sharing samples of three new Pure Innocence releases available for purchase May 5th, Beach Bum, Best Medicine and Lather, Rinse, Repeat.

Baby Yourself

Here I’ve used Lather, Rinse, Repeat.  I paper-pieced the tub, sponge, bubbles and cap.  The bubbles and PI girl were cut out as one piece.  I placed foam boosters beneath the bottom edge of the bubbles but adhered the other parts directly to the striped paper.

I used a clear 3-d glaze pen to add some dimension and shine to the bubbles, cap and sponge as well as the dots on the pink patterned paper.  For the cap, I used vertical strokes with the glaze pen and when coloring the bubbles, I colored in little circles, creating the perfect results (I think).  🙂

Here’s the inside:

I’ll be back tomorrow with my own personal favorite card from my samples of this month’s new releases.  (That doesn’t mean it will be YOUR favorite of my samples, but it is MY favorite.)  🙂

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

Hello again.  🙂

Today the My Favorite Things design team is sharing previews of two more new sets to be released May 5th, 10 p.m. EST, Fred Bear Has a Birthday and Little Loveosaurus.  I couldn’t resist the dino.  🙂

RAWR RAWR RAWR!

I stamped onto an MFT cream Perfect Paper Panel, colored the little guy with Copics and the ground with pencils.  To help the teeth appear brighter, I lightly outlined them with a light gray marker and then added shading with YG0000.  (I love those lightest shades of Copics.  Can’t imagine coloring without them now.)

I added the quotes around the “RAWR” and the three dots at the end so I could complete the sentiment on the inside.

To add a bit of extra “love,” I repeatedly stamped RAWR along the bottom strip.

To see more design team samples of this set along with Fred Bear Has a Birthday, please check out Kim’s blog HERE after 11 a.m. EST.  I’ll be back tomorrow with more!  🙂

Thanks for stopping by!  Have a great day!

Today the My Favorite Things design team is sharing samples using the first two new stamp releases, Rainfall Flopsey and Clearly Sentimental about Babies.  I chose babies.  This set has some truly lovely sentiments.  I used my favorite.  🙂

The Decision to Have a Child

Those words are so true.

I’ve had this Anna Griffin paper forEVER and finally decided to cut it.  It’s so sweet, so “vintage.”  I bought the two patterns in blue as well so I’m prepared either way.  🙂

I die-cut the sentiment after stamping onto cream cardstock.  With the die still around the cut-out, I lightly sponged chalk ink around the edges.

I used MFT’s new Jumbo Scallop Die-namics border die (available 5/5), placing a little foam booster beneath each scallop for a bit more definition.  I used this die on the inside of my card as well (placing boosters beneath the scallops there also).

The sentiment on the inside of my card was taken from MFT’s Essential Sentiments set.

Be sure to check out Kim’s blog HERE after 11 a.m. EST for direct links to more design team samples.  We’ll have previews each day leading up to the big release on Wednesday, May 5th, 10 p.m. EST.
