Hello

I hope that you are enjoying seeing what is new for this month at MFT…

Today, is day 2 of the July Release Countdown and I have another cutie card install for you all..

I used the new set called Jungle Gym, pairing up with older items of Wild Greenery, Single Stitch Line Rounded Rectangle Frames and Stitched Fishtail Sentiment Strips..

I stamped out my image that I wished to use and coloured in with Copics, die cutting them out and setting aside..

I then took white card stock and running it through my die cutting machine die cutting leaves from the Wild Greenery set, adding these to a trimmed piece of white card stock, slightly smaller then the card front..

Still using the die cutting machine, I took more white card stock and ran through my die cutting machine several times the Single Stitch Line Rounded Rectangle Frames, adhering each of the layers together..

Using the inner part of the Single Stitch Line Rounded Rectangle Frame, I added a cloud feature using Summer Splash Ink and the new stencil for July, Mini Cloud Edges…adhering the frame and inner part to the leaves card stock..

I completed the card by adding my image to the base and stamping a sentiment onto a Stitched Fishtail Sentiment Strip..

If you have time, be sure to swing past the Blog to see loads more inspiration..

I will be back with day 1 tomorrow..

Hugs

Happy Sunday

Hope you are all having a wonderful weekend..

Today here on the blog we continue the MFT July Release Countdown and today marks Day 3, inching closer and I can tell that you are all excited about this months release..

I have another birthday card for you today, featuring the latest Pure Innocence called Happy Cake Day, if you like the Pure Innocence line then you are in for a real treat as there are 2 stamp sets this month releasing..

I paired this sweet little girl up with the Confetti Numbers and Handwritten Happiness, which I might add is a beautiful handwritten set to add to the collection, hopefully we can have more stamps like these :)

Okay, so into how I created the card…firstly, I took a piece of white card stock, trimmed slightly smaller then the card base and I masked off an area all round this piece of card stock, I then took Mini Cloud Edges Stencil, also a newbie for this month and Perwinkle, Tickled Pink and Lemon Chiffon inks and applied to cover the area, once I was happy with the soft look, I took the masking tape away and stamped one of the sentiments from the Handwritten Happiness at the base of the stenciled area..

Moving onto the little girl, I stamped her out and coloured some of the features in and of course re stamped her again to stamp out her dress onto some Dots and Stripes Sorbet pattern paper, once she was die cut out, paper pieced and all coloured in with Copics, I added her to the stenciled area..

To complete the card, I took white card stock, running it through my die cutting machine and die cutting numbers using the Confetti Numbers, adding a scattering of these around the little girl..

Be sure to head on over to the blog today to see loads more inspiration..

Thanks for stopping by and leaving such wonderful comments..

Have a great day!

Hugs

Hello again

Time for another July Release Countdown day for MFT..

Today is day 4 of the countdown and I have a fun and cutie card for you today, the latest release from Birdie Brown collection called Happy Hippos, super adorable, I paired this up with the new Celebrate die, which is just a lovely cursive word..

I took the Celebrate die and die cut out of Black Licorice card stock several times and one out of White Card stock, adhering them altogether and off setting the white with the black..setting aside to work on the rest of the card..

I then took the images that I wished to colour with Copics from the Happy Hippos set and once coloured I die cut out with the matching dies..

On a piece of trimmed white card stock, I applied Blue Breeze ink to the center to give the look of softness..

I added my Celebrate word to the white card stock, then began to add my little images around the word..

To complete the card, I stamped another sentiment from the Happy Hippos set onto white card stock and added this below the word Celebrate..

Be sure to swing past the blog today to see more inspiration from the Design Team..

I look forward to being here tomorrow with Day 3 of the countdown..

Hugs

Hello

YAY!! the Design Team from MFT are here with the July Release Countdown, I just know you are going to absolutely love this release..

So we start out with Day 5 and today I am sharing a stamp and die set called Smitten Kitten, super adorable, I paired this up with another new product called Fringed Scallop Borders..

I took the kittens from the stamp set, stamped them out and coloured with Copics, die cutting with the matching dies, setting these aside..

I chose to use an older product called Stitched Dome Stax, die cutting into a trimmed piece of white card stock, that was slightly smaller then the card front..with the inner part of the die cut, I took some Tickled Pink Ink and applied a soft look, blending more at the base of this panel and tapering off at the top..

On this panel I stamped a sentiment and adhering both the trimmed piece of white card stock and the panel to the card front..

Next, was to add the banners across the card, die cutting some Itsy Bitsy Polka Dot Pastel pattern paper, using of course the Fringed Scallop Borders, I made sure that there was a light and darker shade of colours to give the card a bit of a lift..

To complete this card, I die cut some Tickled Pink Card Stock, using one of the Heart dies from Smitten Kitten..

Be sure to head over to the blog to see more from the design team..

Hello

WOW! Been a week since I was here on the little old blog, sadly I have been really sick this past few days and I have not really done much at all, in fact no crafting, thankfully, having done this card in advance to share with you all tonight..

It is the start of a new sketch challenge at MFT and this one is a fun one that you are all going to enjoy, be sure to swing past HERE to check out the inspiration and entry details on how you can win..

I chose to use the cute little Super Boy and oldie but goodie..

I stamped the image and coloured with Copics, die cutting him out and also die cutting the mask out of some Black Licorice card stock, that I adhered across the eyes..

I then went about trimming down a piece of white card stock and applying Banana Split ink over the Radiating Rays Stencil..

Once I was happy with the blending, I trimmed one end of the card stock down and then die cut a panel into the card stock, using the Stitched Dome Frames..

To add dimension, I took white card stock and die cut several layers of the frame, adhering together, then adding the blended frame to the top..

Next, was to add my stars on the trimmed side of the card stock, using the stars from the Blueprints 24, die cutting into Banana Split Card Stock, adhering this to the trimmed white card panel..

Adding the panel to a white card base, I then added my dome and inner part of the dome back into the negative space..

Finishing off the card, by adding my Super Boy, scattering of Navy, Gold and Clear Sequins and a sentiment that I stamped onto a banner that I die cut from the Blueprints 25 from the More Essential Sentiments..

I so look forward to seeing what you all create this week..

Have fun!

Hugs

Hello

Wednesday again and that means a new sketch challenge has started at MFT…

We are currently working with 339, make sure to head HERE to see loads of inspiration and for details on how you can enter to win..

I chose to use the sweet little Mermazing stamp set..

I stamped and coloured the images with Copics, die cutting these and setting aside..

I then took a piece of white card stock and applied Blu Raspberry and Blue Breeze to the card stock, once happy with the blending I took some water and flicked over the top to make the ink wick and look like bubbles in the underwater scene I was creating..

Next, was to take Single Stitch Line Square Frames and Stitched Mini Scallop Square dies and die cut the layers I was after…

I trimmed down a small card base and went about adding the frames, making sure to inlay the negative and positives of the die cutting…

Adding my scene was next, my little mermaid swimming around at the top of the card and my coral, seaweed and fish added as the extras..

To complete the card, I added a stamped sentiment onto another piece of white card stock and adhered this to the base of the frames..

I had a lot of fun creating with this weeks sketch and I sure hope you do too, cannot wait to see what you all create…

Have Fun!

Hugs
