MFT August Shop Hop!

I love this hop. It's one last time for the DT to show you all the wonderful, exciting new products available for purchase, RIGHT NOW! Shop and Hop or Hop and Shop....either way, make sure you do both! Leave some love along the way, there's a hidden prize on one of the DT blogs. Hopefully you just came from Joanne's Blog. If not, be sure to start at the beginning over on Kim's Blog. She's got all the the info on tonight's release!

Tonight I get to show my my fun little Wyatt project. I've said it before, but being in a house full of boys, a set like Wyatt just makes me happy! I just love Wyatt's sweet little wagon and all the fun that can go in it!
I pulled out some super cute, all-boy dp from Making Memories-Just Chillin'. I pieced up Wyatt and cut him out after coloring him with Copics. I placed him on a strip of Fresh Cut Grass die-namics die cut cs and MFT twill. I've been wanting to use the sunshine die

to make a medallion ribbon for a sentiment, so today I did that! It was such a fun way to show case the sentiment, I just left out the circle center piece. I made my card a little shorter than 4.25 inches, so I could have Wyatt stick up above the card and still fit into an envelope. It's a great way to add an extra element of surprise to your card.

I also created a quick little wagon to go along with him. I'm working on a tutorial, so you can see just how I did it. I colored the T-rex, cut him out and added him to a tag with the "you're T-Rexiffic" sentiment. The tag is attached with an Earth Girl button (can you tell I looooove those buttons!)
and twine. And here's the finished combo! That's all I've got for you today. Thanks so much for all your supportive and sweet comments all week. MFT friends are the BEST!!! You can find all the new products right here!

Next on the hop is the uber talented Sherrie. I know she'll have something that knocks your socks off! Have fun and happy shopping!

Final Teaser Day-Tonight's the Party!

Today's our last day of teaser posts. Tonight is the night! Be sure to join the Release party in the MFT Forum at 8pm (EST). Then at 10pm you'll be able to shop and hop. So today, you get a double post (second one will go live at 10 for our shop hop) with more looksies at all the new products! I'm so excited and I hope you are too!

Today I get to share another template you can find in the MFT Boutique. Since there are three new templates available this month, I figured I'd show you one you will want to add to your cart if you don't own it already. It was so fun to use with the Who' That Harvest Girl Set and the
Garden Goodness sentiment set. So here's what I did with the Carmel Apple Template.

Isn't it just yummy?!!! I used some fun Cherry Hill Oct. Afternoon dp, the WTG Harvest Girl set, MFT twill, Earth Girl button, MFT Felt, and a little bit of the small scallop die-namics die. Here's the inside done up with the sentiment from Garden Goodness and some apples from WTG.
Have you seen the templates in the store? There are a bunch available right now, and three new ones, plus some awesome letter files to match Bling Bet, will be added at 10pm tonight. The COOL thing about the new templates, is they are available as cut files. If you have any electronic cutting machine, you'll be able to whip out these in record time. I don't have one, just so you know, and the print and cut, PDF's are also available. They are easy to work with, as well, they just take a little extra time and a good pair of scissors.

More MFT Teasers and Another New Line of Stamps

ooooo! I've got some fun things to share today. There's another new line of stamps being added to the MFT Boutique. They are so fun! They are called the Flapper Doodles! Today I used the oh-so chic Flappers in a Vespa! I thought the fun, Joyride dp by Cosmo Cricket was a great fit for this stamp. I added a strip of the chain border die-namicsand a flag with the sentiment. I even anchored the pieces with some cute little baby braddies! There are 3 new Flapper Doodles being introduced this month. See if you can spy them all from today's Teasers!

Today also showcases the sweet new Jolinne with Sprinkles on Top! Oh, how I love cupcakes!!! Barbara also created the cutest cupcake template and it will be added to the store Tuesday night. I used it on today's card and let me say-it was soooo simple to work with. I don't have a fancy cutting machine, just my printer and handy dandy scissors, and this still was quick to work with. It was a great excuse to use my Basic Grey Nook & Pantry dp. I used some of the pretty ruffles ribbon in green and a some MFT butons. I kept the inside simple and sweet with a matching button and another sentiment from the set.

Day 3-MFT Teasers with Pure Innocence

***post no.2 for today, please scroll down for my H{ippity} Hop Post**

It's the day we get to show this month's new Pure Innocence. I know you all love these cuties and so do I. This month is just as fantastic and sweet. I know you'll be saying awwww, all along the teaser posts today.

Two different DT members will be giving away either a
PI Little Angel or PI Being Cute is What I Do.

How sweet is this one? I love the bundle of flowers she's holding and the sentiments included are just as great. I used them both, one of the outside and one of the inside of my card. I told you I couldn't stop using my new die-namic dies. I cut some clear acetate with my Flower & Leaf trio die, attached them with glue dots and used some Earth Girl buttons to hide the adhesive. Did you know that the flowers are all 1 die, so you can cut all 3 sizes at one time? Such a time saver, and great for mixing and matching materials. Helps keep it quick and simple. I also added a small scallop border along the top (So glad Kim added this to the die-namics family)and some MFT twill, ruffled up along the bottom.
Here's a shot at the inside with the sentiment completed! I'll send you on your way. Don't forget to check out the Guest Designer Contest. You can read all about it in the SCS MFT Forum. Kim has today's Teaser Line Up, check it out at 11 am EST!

Day 2 MFT Teasers!

Hello again! Did you love the peaks from yesterday? I know I did. I am always so excited to see what my fellow DT member do with the sets and dies. So today we get to tease you with another A-dorable Fred Bear set, this time he's Gone Camping and he's cookin' up my favorite campfire treat-S'Mores!!!! I decided to do up a 12x12 scrapbook page since I have tons of pictures every summer with us by the fire at our lake house.

I had fun using the new Tree & Leaf trio die-namics die

and the Banner Day die-namics die for this page. I stamped the title with the coordinating Banner Day Alphabet-love the crisp clean look of this alphabet. Plus with big long words, like Marshmallow, it was the perfect size without being overbearing! The boys love a Marshmallow Party, this one we shared with some neighbors that were over for the day. A few Earth Girl buttons and twine to finish the page. Here's a close up of sweet little Fred.

We've also got another great release for both Wyatt and Emma. You'll have to wait to see my Wyatt project on release night. But here's a card with sweet Ms. Emma with her Backpack. Guess I'll have to make a few more of these and send them off to my nieces when they start school this fall. I'll think I'll include a couple packs of smarties candy! I'm lovin' that sentiment.
I used two more new die-namics dies on this one. The very cool, Chain Border die. I just love this, I don't' think there's anything like it out there. It just looks great on everything.

Then there's that mini scallop edge along the bottom. I showed it yesterday, and it's just one of those classic borders that you can't help but use. Here's the inside of the card, done up to match the outside and finished off with another sentiment from the Emma set. I added the same two dies on the inside. The dp is My Mind's Eye, from the So Sophie line and layout is one of Mercy's Tuesday sketches from the other week.

Don't forget about the MFT Birthday Celebration continues and you get the present! Today, there is a prize hidden on one of the designer's blog posts. As you make your way through the Teaser Time posts, simply leave a comment on each blog, for your chance to win one of the Brand Spankin' New stamp sets being released on August 4th.

See you back tomorrow for more MFT Teasers! Have a great day and thanks for stopping by.

woohoo! MFT Teaser Time! It's to DIE-for!

Love this time of the month and so will you! The next 5 days are packed with lots of great new MFT products! Sit back and enjoy! Today we are sharing peeks to two new stamps following the great gardening theme that's been added to the boutique. I always love Stephanie Fizer's work and she has done it again with another FABulous flower set called How Your Garden Grows. There are new digi papers to coordinate AND an awesome new die-namics flower die! I can't get enough of these dies, all of them! For today's card I decided to make my own designer paper. There are lots of different flowers and sizes of flowers to work with along with some fun flower centers. You're gonna love it. See those felt flowers? Yep, created fast and easy with one run through of my big shot and the Flower Trio & Leaf Trio die-namics die. I added some coordinating buttons from the Earth Girl and Girly Button collections. I also used the fun, open scalloped scallop die and Framed Greetings die (currently sold out, sorry!). I also added a fun ribbon treatment with my FAVE perfect plaid ribbon in red!
I finished the card off inside with some more of the same flower and die-namics goodness! This is one of my all-time fave color combos-turquoise, red, and kraft!
I've also got another peek at the Clearly Sentimental about Gardens set. It was last month's triple scoop, and now it's available to purchase if you didn't earn it for FREE last month. I love it and it's a great compliment to many, many sets releasing this month and in the boutique already. As much as I loooove this stamp set, I'm really ga-ga over the dies I used on this card. EEEEE! it just makes me squeal. Can you count them?Most you should recognize, but 1 is brand new. Do you know which one? Okay, I can't stand it.....it's the tree and leaves! The tree is the same one from the awesome stamp set, Sheltering Tree. Now there is a die to match. No more cutting out that tree, and just in case you were thinking you have to have them both (why not? but.....) you don't. The tree works all by it's self. Can you see the details on the tree....the cool new thing about this die is that it embosses the woodgrain at the same time you are cutting it out! It's genius, I tell you, just genius! So, I used 4 different die-namics dies here-cloud trio, sunshine, fresh cut grass, and the new Sheltering Tree & leaf trio! I decided to add in a layer of the sweet new ruffled ribbon in yellow.
Of course I didn't stop at the outside, I had to add some flowers to the inside. These are from the new set, How Your Garden Grows. Oh, yeah, there's one more new die here, too! It's a new mini scallop-a staple for all stamping supplies! Yes, you may have a punch that does the same scallop, BUT your punch doesn't cut through felt, fabric, cork, acetate, and all the other materials you can cut with the die-namic dies! You've got to have these!
Don't forget about this month's Guest Designer Contest! You can read about it here. It's soooo worth playing along, the PRIZE is Fabulous! Can't wait to see what you all do for it.
All, right, I've had enough to say today. BUT I will leave you with one last piece of news. Be sure to read it-a PRIZE is involved. Today, there is a prize hidden on one of the designer's blog posts.
