A Bit More from MFT’s January Release

I have a couple more cards to share today using MFTs latest amazing release. (You can find all the new products HERE.)

First I used Birdie Brown’s You Have My Heart along with new Lush Lagoon card stock and ink.

You-Bring-Out-the-Best-500I used a large Rectangle STAX to frame the girl and dog which were stamped onto X-Press It Blending Card and colored with Copic markers.  The smaller cloud is raised on foam tape, as is the frame, and the sun was cut from new Lemon Chiffon card stock.

You-Bring-Out-the-Best-CU

Inside, I used Lush Lagoon ink to stamp a sentiment from Miss Tiina’s I Love You More stamp set, using Lemon Drop to highlight the small sun.

You-Bring-Out-the-Best-In2

Next, I created a quick and easy card using fun Fluttering Hearts Cover-Up, I Love You More stamp set and new Cherry Crisp card stock.

Hello-Love-500

The sentiment was stamped with Sweet Tooth pigment ink then white embossed.

Hello-Love-CU

Inside, I added a row of cute Fluttering Hearts and stamped a second sentiment from I Love You More using Cherry Crisp ink.

MFT January Previews – Level Up

**Seasons Givings Hop Post is HERE**

Hi everyone!  I’m back today with another sample of MFT’s January 6 release.  I cannot begin to tell you how happy I was to see the new Level Up stamp set with coordinating Game Controller Die-namics.  I may actually have let out a little squeal.  hee, hee.  This is PERFECT for my son (along with most of his friends).  

Level-Up-500r

I just love those controllers!  Ok… The controllers were die-cut twice with a layer of foam tape between to create dimension.  After die-cutting the dots, I covered each with Glossy Accents.

I used a Grid Background stamped in Steel Grey then randomly adhered additional die-cut dots.  The sentiment was clear embossed.

Level-Up-CU2Inside, I stamped another of the perfect sentiments from Level Up.  I seriously love this set.  ♥  

Level-Up-In

While I was at it, I decided to create a matching gift bag.  The tag was stamped using Wild Cherry, Limelight and Blu Raspberry ink with GAMER spelled out using Emmitt Alphabet.

To create a flat surface for the “love” die-cut, I inlaid the Cotton Candy, Bubblegum and Pink Lemonade hearts, all level with the Sweet Tooth base.

I have two samples to share today.  One uses new All My Love stamp set by Lisa Johnson, gorgeous Damask Background and Stitchable Heart STAX.

After die-cutting the heart from Pink Lemonade card stock, I used Natural dye ink to stamp Linen Background.  The heart was stitched with Hemp and embellished with Mini Royal Roses.

I seriously love the new Damask Background.  Here, I stamped onto Whip Cream card stock using Pink Lemonade ink.  The sentiment was stamped onto the strip of canvas using Hot Fudge hybrid ink.

I-Love-You-CU

Inside, I stamped a heart and XOXO, both from All My Love.

I-Love-You-In

My next card features new Tag Builder Blueprints 3 and Damask Background.

Be-Mine-500b

Tiny rhinestone hearts were added across the horizontal strip above the Damask Background.  ♥
