Pep Rally day is always an exciting one. It marks the final day of our teasers AND it is our kick off to the Release Party later tonight. I saved a few projects just for the occasion, showing off LOTS of the new Die-namics you can pick up tonight at the MFT October Release. 

I played along with another of the Hope You Can Cling Challenges over on SCS. I had to use five different words on my card. This was easy to do thanks to the beautiful words included in the new CHOOSE HOPE stamp set. I was able to highlight a different sentiment in one of the four punched out circles from the PEEK A BOO SQUARED Die-namics. 

I cut it out two times, once in whip cream card stock, and another time in the polka dotted papers. I then covered the whip cream square with the pattern paper.  I used the whip cream circles to stamp my words.  I cut a Black Licorice square, just a tad larger to matt the whole square and help it pop. A corner rounder allowed me to line it up perfectly!

I added a pretty custom bra to decorate the square. They really are so fun and easy to make, thanks to the SUPPORT HOPE DIE-NAMICS. I topped it with a center bow and a rhinestone. 

 A few flourishes from the new, FRAMING FLOURISHES DIE-NAMICS,  to the top and bottom of the square, and a Cotton Candy Grosgrain bow and this card was finished. I love that the MFT card stocks look great with all of my favorite pattern papers. I used the Lost & Found papers-Blush by My Mind's Eye. 

Changing gears, I decided to hold this project off for today. It matched my "grateful card" from the other day. I just loooved the color combo and my Kraft Felt was calling my name.

 I think these will make wonderful table settings at our Thanksgiving table this year. Super easy to make, too. 

Simply cut a piece of MFT felt 3x12 inches, fold it in half and run a stitch up both sides. You could get 15 silverware holders from 1 pack of felt! (If you chose to make them wider, cut to 4 inches and you could still make 12 from one pack). 

I wrapped the felt with some of the Burlap Ribbon I have and then added a piece of the gorgeous Night Shift Blue grosgrain ribbon around it. I used Scor-tape, but any strong adhesive would work. 

I cut some leaves from the new FALL LEAVES DIE-NAMICS and prettied them up with the coordinating stamps from the THANKFUL LEAVES STAMP SET.  I am really diggin' that block with the script font on it.  I also added the oh-so-fun-to-make BEAUTIFUL BOW. this Die-namics.  You have got to pop this one in your cart. I love my ribbon bows, but this Die-namics makes paper bows just as fabulous! AND if you are bow challenged at all...then this is a must have. It makes a perfect bow every time AND you get two sizes with this set! Love that!

 So much happening today! Now join me over at the MFT Blog for the full line up of today's Pep Rally posts!  I'll catch you later tonight at the Release Party!
