I have one last preview to share before MFT‘s October New Product Launch tonight at 10 p.m. EST.  Today I’ve used Christmas Tree Cutout, which is free to you this month with a $60 purchase.

I first die-cut the tree and star from Sour Apple card stock.  Lengths of gold cord were looped on the front and adhered to the back to create trim.

The Sour Apple panel is raised on foam tape with a Bubblegum star and “MERRY” adhered in the openings.  All stars were cut using Sun, Moon & Stars Die-namics.

Inside, I used Sour Apple and Bubblegum dye ink to stamp a sentiment from Merry Messages.

Thanks so much for stopping by!  I’ll be back tonight at 10 p.m. EST for the New Product Launch!

Hi everyone!    I’m back today with two samples of MFT‘s October release.   As a coffee lover, I was super excited to see the new Perk Up stamp set and Coffee Cup Die-namics.  Seriously ♥ them.

My first card used Perk Up and Coffee Cup Die-namics with new Fine Chevron Background.

 I used an inlaid die approach on the cup, cutting first the larger heart shape from the cup cuff, then, with the red heart in place, I die-cut the smaller heart shape.  The little scalloped edge was created by die-cutting the bottom scalloped edge from one of the tags in new Tag Builder Blueprints 2.

Inside, I added a second sentiment from Perk Up with a second red heart adhered in the lower corner.  (Boxes can be checked later.)  🙂

My next card uses the Herringbone Bricks Stencil to create a background and Hugs & Kisses Cover-Up to add a border.

The dotted edge on the cup cuff was die-cut using an element from Blueprints 14. The larger heart was cut using Blueprints 15 and the sentiment was stamped onto a rounded edge Sentiment Strip.

Since I had lots of x’s and o’s left from the one pass through my Vagabond, I included another row inside as well as a second sentiment from Perk Up.

Words Cannot Espresso card

Hi everyone!  Welcome to another day of MFT October previews!  Today I’ve used Pure Innocence Christmas Banner.  She’s so cute holding the greeting!

I used PI Christmas Banner Die-namics to cut the shape from X-Press It Blending Card, then stamped in Black Licorice hybrid ink and colored with Copic markers.  She’s adhered flat in the middle with foam squares attached behind her hands to add just a wee bit of dimension.

Inside, I used new Gift Card Grooves.  I can’t say how happy I am to see this Die-namics set!  It makes adding/attaching a gift card SO incredibly easy!

Hi everyone!  We’re moving right along with only four more days until MFT‘s October 14 release!  🙂  My card today features new Christmas Cuteness by Miss Tiina along with Fine Chevron Background.

All images were stamped and masked onto X-Press It Blending Card and colored with Copic markers.  New Fine Chevron Background was stamped onto Kraft card stock using Electric Red ink.

The little Stitched Tag was cut using the candy cane from Tag Builder Blueprints 2.

Inside, I stamped a second cute sentiment from the set as well as a second snowman.

Hi everyone!  I’m back today with another preview of My Favorite Things‘ October 14 release!  (Only five more days!)  Today I put a bit of a masculine twist on a holiday card using new Merry Die-namics, Merry Messages and Herringbone Bricks Stencil.

After die-cutting Merry Die-namics from Paver Red card stock, I stamped “& BRIGHT” in VersaMark ink then gold embossed.  The Herringbone Brick stencil was used to emboss Smooth White card stock.  After adhering the Merry panel, I tucked two strips of gold cord along the top and bottom edges.

The inside was finished very simply by adding a leftover panel of Herringbone Bricks and stamping a second Merry Message in Paver Red ink.

Hi everyone!  Welcome back to a second day of October 14 release previews with My Favorite Things!  Today I’ve used new Birdie Brown Jingle All the Way stamp set and Die-namics with new Snowfall Background and Stitched Snow Drifts Die-namics.

After stamping the tree onto an X-Press It Blending Card panel and coloring with Copic markers, I stamped new Snowfall Background with VersaMark ink and embossed with a matte embossing powder.  The snowdrifts were added, reindeer cut, stamped and colored and then the little bell was stitched to his collar.  Lastly, I airbrushed a bit of ink around the tree and background.

I added a few more snow drifts to the inside, along with a second sentiment and tree.

It’s time to begin sharing samples of My Favorite Things‘ October release, and boy oh boy is it a fun one!

Today I’ve used several new products — Christmas Labels (Lisa Johnson Designs) and Jingle All the Way (Birdie Brown) with their coordinating Die-namics, Herringbone Bricks Stencil, Stitched Traditional Tags STAX and Tag Builder Blueprints 2.

New Herringbone Brick Stencil was used to emboss the Wild Cherry Stitched Tag.  I added snowflakes (Let It Snowflake) to the Sweet Tooth background, and the cutie pie little girl was die-cut from X-Press It Blending Card, stamped in Black Licorice hybrid ink and colored with Copic markers.

It doesn’t show in the photo, but I colored over each dot on the label using a clear glaze pen.

Inside, I stamped a sentiment from new Merry Messages along with a tree from Jingle All the Way.
