I Treasure our Friendship!

Tonight is our mid-month release with MFT.  You'll be able to order the VIP kit (come back for our blog hop tonight to see what a cutie it is) AND the two brand new à la modes. This morning I've got aother teaser for you.

In the past, we've released our à la modes images in cling rubber, however, this month, we're releasing both of our à la modes in clear photopolymer, just like the rest of our stamps. This means that we can bring them to you a slightly lower price point than usual - $9.00 each! How fabulous is that?! Since our clear stamps are made in the USA, they are of the highest quality, so you'll have the same great image quality that you're accustomed to with any of our other clear stamps! Sweet deal right?

Today is a looksie at the new set called, I Treasure our Friendship. While I admit, I am not a huge pirate fan, I have to say this IS one pirate I DO like! She's soooo cute and love her giant chest of treasure!  I used one of my favorite flower die-namics, Upsy Daisy.  Seriously....it is a great accent for LOTS of cards. Check out those giant scallops.....it's an early peek at to something to expect for tonight. *wink*wink*  The papers are another pack from Lily Bee Designs, called Happily Lost.  Ahhhhh! the colors and prints are fabulous.

And again, because I used a dark card base (hot fudge cs by MFT) I did up the inside. The Hello comes from Well Worn Greetings and I used another daisy.

Check out Kim's Blog for today's line up of more samples with this à la mode.

See you back here tonight at 10 pm for the VIP Blog Hop!

a little à la mode

What a fantastic weekend we had. Thanks to a soccer tournament, we got a little mini vacation in Lexington, Ky. It was rainy and soooo muddy and day two of the tournament was actually cancelled, BUT we made the most of it and had a great time with the boys and our soccer friends.
I am happy to be starting the week off right with a great night's sleep in my own bed and the MFT mid-month release teasers.  That means it's time to show off the newest à la modes.  There's something special about these cuties this month.......Let Kim know what you think. Same cute stamps, BUT this month MFT is releasing them in clear photopolymer.

In the past, we've released our à la modes images in cling rubber, however, this month, we're releasing both of our à la modes in clear photopolymer, just like the rest of our stamps. This means that we can bring them to you a slightly lower price point than usual - $9.00 each! How fabulous is that?! Since our clear stamps are made in the USA, they are of the highest quality, so you'll have the same great image quality that you're accustomed to with any of our other clear stamps! Sweet deal right?

First up is the set called, I Need Some Facetime. Here's what I did with it. Still lovin' those Lime Twist papers.....the speech bubbles just make me happy and so do the colors. I used Jen's May ASFYTT which made this one easy to pull together.

 Other MFT product you'll see:

• the fun new Notched tag set and matching die-namic.
• MFT Twine in honeydew (one of my FAVE colors of twine)
• dainty dots die-namic border.

She's stamped on x-press blending cs and colored with copics. A giant wood vaneer flower button and some razzleberry grosgrain also help accent the front.

I decided to pretty up the inside, as well.  I feel like I had to since the card base was so dark. I stamped the sweet à la mode again, and added a row of pin dots from the Notched Tag set and added part of a sentiment from the set.

I hope you enjoy today's teasers.  Kim has the full list of participants on her blog. Check it out and be sure to stop back tomorrow for the second à la mode you can purchase on Tuesday night along with this month's VIP kit.

à la modes-day 2 sneak peek

It will be a two post Tuesday thanks to our My Favorite Things VIP blog hop tonight. Don't miss the fun. Be back at 10pm for more MFT yummies!

For now, I get to share another à la mode. I think this one may be my favorite one to date. Love them all, but I reeeeallly love this one. She's called Miss You a Latte. I'm a coffee lover. I think I've said it here on my blog before. I love everything about coffee, the warmth of it, the smell of it, the taste of it, sharing a cup with a good friend. I spend every morning here on my computer drinking two cups from my Keurig. I would sooooo ♥ one of these giant cups of Latte! I had some fun with Jillibean soup dp and finished up the card with some MFT twill, the small scalloped die-namics, and an earth girl button. Check out the inside, that's where I decided to add the sentiment. I used the same designer papers and the small scallop border die-namics die. Super sweet and sooo easy to do.

Here are a few tid bits about the new à la modes:

• a la modes will be available only in rubber


• Each set is produced in the USA using the higest quality rubber, with the deepest etch possible.


• Each image and sentiment is backed on cling foam and scroll cut, making it ready for stamping right out of the bag!


• Packaged in a clear hang bag, we've also provided the ideal storage solution by including a thick laminated header card in each set that can be used to store the stamp set, in its entirety after purchase.


• $10.95 for the 3 x 4" set.
  

Check out Kim's blog for the full list of à la mode teasers! And be back here tonight at 10pm for this month's VIP hop!

MFT- à la mode sneak peek #2- Time To Celebrate

So whatcha think??? Aren't the à la modes just the cutest???? I think they are a fabulous addition to the MFT boutique. Today I get to show you another great celebration stamp set. I honestly believe you cannot have too many birthday or celebration sets. For one, there are just too many great ones out there, and two, there will always be reasons to celebrate!

This one's a little busy with all the designer paper I used, but I think the kraft kind of mellows it out. Plus I love the banner! Yep, had to squeeze in the Banner Day die-namics die with this one. Always good to have a banner for any celebration!

The other MFT goodies on this card include:

• MFT Felt- bannanna split
• baby bump diaper pins
• Jumbo ric rac die-namics die
• crochet ribbon collection-yep, back in stock!

So there you have it! Check back tonight at 10pm for the VIP blog hop! You know you want to be an MFT VIP, so don't miss out! You'll get the new WTG two weeks early, plus lots of other goodies! You'll also be able to order the new à la modes while you're at it! Kim's got the full sneak peek line up on her blog around 11 am EST

MFT- à la mode Sneak Peek-Peace

What a fabulous weekend. My sister, her girls, and her new hubby were in town and we had a great time. Lots of laughs, lots of good food, drinks, and just fun family time! Love that. Hopefully you all enjoyed your weekend. We'll continue the goodness with a little My Favorite Things sneaky peek. Two more à la mode stamp sets will be available for purchase tomorrow, Aug.17th during the VIP Hop! It's going to be soooo groovy! (sorry counldn't resist! haha)

She's a cutie! There are some fun sentiments included with this great set. Remember, the à la modes are cling mount rubber-high quality, and stamp like a dream! I colored her with copics, cut a groovy batch of MFT felt flowers with the new Flower & leaf trio die-namics die. Tied it all up with some MFT twill. Yeah, pretty much can't stop using this stuff. It's pretty great! The button is from the Scoop 'o button summer collection. I even did up the inside. You can't write on espresso card stock, so you have to line it with something lighter. It's just easier and prettier to make it all matchy, matchy! More felt flowers, the Flower Power sentiment, and some baby braddies.

Check with Kim's blog for the full sneak peek line up around 11 am EST. Tomorrow I'll have another one and then tomorrow night is the VIP blog hop! Don't Miss it!
