More MFT Sneak Peeks!

More My Favorite Things goodies to share today. I think you are going to just SWOOON! over today's peeks. I know I am just giddy over this combo-it's a stamp and die-namics die that work together, called Framed Greetings. When you order this on the 7th, and I know you will * wink, wink*, you will get the stamps and the die together for $19.95!

I did make this one for a guest designer contest sample. You still have time to get your entry in. It's so worth playing along-the free stamps are nice, but being part of the MFT DT for a month is Priceless! You can check out all the deets here in the forum.

Okay, see my sentiment and the cool looking frame? Yep, that's the new Framed Greetings stamp set and the die. The die is that cool shape. They are really easy and fun to create with. The frame stamps (you get 3 different designs ) work with the die to get a perfect fit. I just love the 4 sentiments included in the set too. Seriously, EEEEEEE! You're gonna fall in love.

The rest of the card is loaded up with MFT goodness,too:

another looksie at the rolled flower die-namics die, MFT black felt, cut with the Jumbo ric rac die (currently out of stock-but check back, Kim restocks as quick as she can), crochet ribbon, finished off with a cute, little babybump diaper pin, the polka dotted dp is from the Garden Variety paper pack, and a little Chocolate Kiss glittered garnish in the flower center. The inside uses a sentiment from Who's That Birthday Girl.

Everything in red is new and will be available for purchase on the 7th, the rest is already in the store and you can add it to your order on the 7th if you don't already have it ;)

MFT Day 3 of Sneak Peeks: G-O, GO!

It's PI day here on the My Favorite Things sneak peek week. We know you love these cuties and so do I! I fall in love with each new one every month! This month Kim is adding 4 new ones to the mix. I've got this darling little cheerleader to share today.

It wasn't on purpose, kind of my accident, but this ends up fitting into the guest designer contest theme this month-any neutral with red, white, and blue! The link is listed below, to find out all the details of the contest.

I used the new Banner Day alphabet and die-namics die with card, too. They work great together. I also added some copic-colored twill, a piece of cork, and some MFT felt cut with the Fresh Cut Grass die. Oh, and button is from the girly button collection.

I also had some fun, altering the PI into a true cheerleader stance-pom poms raised! I clipped her arms and re-attached them so her hands were pointing up. I added some extra dimension to her poms, but stamping them twice and cutting the top layer a little smaller and attached with a foam dot. I probably should have added a detail picture for you. I do have a pic of the inside, though. Isnt' that open scallop die just awesome! Papers are Report Card by Oct. AFternoon and Manilla Basics by Basic Grey.

MFT Day 2-sneak peeks!

So what did you think about yesterday's MFT peeks? Fun and fabulous peeks, right? Well, today is just as good. I'm happy to say I finally have a sweet little Fred Bear stamp in my hands. I've loved him since his debut a few months ago, he's quite the bear on the go! This time he's decked out for the beach! Let me start of by saying how much I love this card! It's one of those cards that turned out JUST how I envisioned it in my head. I colored Fred with copics and used some of the fun Jillibean soup dp,Summer Squash, to piece up his swim float. I used LOTS of die-namics dies on this one-2 new and 2 already released. Can you spy them?

My waves were created with the negative of the jumbo scalloped die, and of course you can't head to the beach without some sunshine. I also used the new open scalloped die and my FAVE part of this card....the center of my sun! It's a rolled flower! Yep, now all those super trendy, cute, hand-made rolled flowers you've been seeing all over blog land are yours to create to your heart's content! This new die makes them really fast and perfect every time. Today, I used it to make a fancy 3-D sun!

Once again, I did up the inside of my card to match. I left it blank so I could write my own note when the time was right.

Kim's got the full sneak peek line up on her blog at 11 am (EST). Go Check it out!

MFT-Let the Sneak Peeks Begin!

The time is here for the MFT DT to share with you all the fabulous goodies being released next Wednesday night. Lots of cool stamps, embellishments, AND FABULOUS die-namics dies. You won't be disappointed. Today, I have 2 beauties to share.

First up is this super chic set, called Cruising Cosmo Girl. I couldn't resist using the bright and cheery papers by Comso Cricket, Delovely. I knew with her rockin' shades, I just had to add a beautiful, bright sun from the MFT die-namics die and added a few clouds because, well, I just love that die, too. I finished the sentiment on the inside of the card, this is a great way to entice the receiver of a card to open it up and see what you have left to say.

I used the same papers, stamped the sentiment on a punched oval and added a few sweet baby braddies in pink.

Okay, ready for the next goodie??? Hold on to your hats this one you're gonna LOVE. It's one of the awesome new die-namic dies being released. I FLIPPED over this one, love, love, LOVE it!!!! It's a Banner die!!! okay, yes, squeal with me...EEEEEEE! One of the coolest things about this die-namics die is that it's a 3 part die, so you can layer up you banner anyway you want. It cuts the scalloped topper, and the 2 banner pieces that are a mat for each other just perfectly! And if that isn't enough, there is also a fabulous new alpha set called Banner Day Alphabet being released too! Look how nice, neat, and perfect the font is, AND it fits perfectly on the banners. Ahhhhh, it makes me happy! Oh, yeah and the opened scalloped is also a new die coming next week!
Because I thought I was so clever, I just have to show you how I did up the inside. I stamped cute little Wyatt, colored him with copics and gave him a party hat! I'm sure you can guess, but yep, it's a piece of the banner turned up side down. The Button is from my Earth Girl button collection. You also get another look at the open scalloped die.

Here's a few other MFT goodies I used on this card: cork, bling-bers, twill, and fossil cs.

How's that for a jammed packed day 1 of fun???!!! And yes, There is LOTS more to come!

Stop by Kim's blog around 11 am (EST) for the full line up of sneak peeks today.

AND Here's the info on this month's Guest Designer Challenge.

Happy Birthday Mrs. MFT!!!

Surprise!!! Today is an extra fun MFT post. Kim's birthday is July 5th and since we will be rockin' our sneak peeks this week, we decided to celebrate a little early. There is a whole BIG list of MFT friends and junkies (as we like to call ourselves, lol!) that wanted to take a moment to wish one of our favorite people a very happy birthday. Here's my card I created just for Kim. I used my fave birthday girl set, Who's That Birthday Girl.

I pieced her dress and the cake with some pretty Oct. Afternoon dp-thrift shop and fly a kite! I added some faux ric rac ribbon with the Jumbo ric rac die-namics and ribbon re-creation textured plate. I love that I can make faux ric rac ribbon with any color cs I have to match my project. I added a bit of crocheted ribbon, twine, and chocolate kisses glittered garnishes in the corner.

The inside of my card matches, too. It finshes off the birthday wishes I wanted to say. Happy birthday Kim, hope you have a fabulous day. Stop by Kim's blog to leave a birthday message of your own. AND here's the line up for more MFT birthday inspiration:

Hip Hop Thursday!

**This is post no. 2 for the day. Scroll down to read an exciting MFT announcement!**

Told you today was busy! It's my anniversary, the start of my MFT DT gig AND it's a fun filled {ippity} and Unity Hip Hop Thursday! Woohooo! I've been itching to make something with this soft and pretty color combo-kraft and lemon tart. I added in a touch of vintage cream. I also hadn't inked up this cute little bug from A Little Buggy, so I did that for today. Lots of texture with the use of an embossing plate,a corduroy button, some satin ribbon, and stitching. I even added in a bit of burlap-love that stamp! Oh,and at the last minute I inked up and cut out one of the cute scalloped photo corners from Fall For You. Sentiment is from Just Wanted to Say. Guess I pulled out a lot of {ippity} didn't I? It's great when you can mix and match stamps like this!
Maria is next and don't forget the {ippity} blog-leave a comment for a chance to win a prize.

p.s. I had to link this blog post from Tuesday. Did you see it? Maria's tip about clear thread on your sewing machine bobbin is genious! I had no idea!

MFT Blog Roll Time

What an exciting day. It's my 10 yr. anniversary and hubby and I celebrated last night alone at the lake house with a yummy crableg dinner ALL to ourselves! Today is also the official start of my DT gig with My Favorite Things and I've been busy, busy creating with these fabulous stamps. Release day is almost upon us and sneak peeks start on Saturday.

Today Kim is announcing some other new additions to the team. She has asked a few new and very talented ladies to be a part of two additional teams-bringing you LOTS more MFT inspiration for you to drool over.

I'm so lucky to be a part of such fabulously, talented women!

I also have a sweet little Emma-blowing kisses card to share with you. I used all my new MFT toys from last month's release: crocheted ribbon, jumbo ric rac die-namics die, and ribbon re-creation grosgrain plate (currently out of stock), cork, and scalloped scallop die-namics die.

I'm even proud of myself, cuz I gave sweet Emma some blond hair. I think it looks great.

And just because I wanted to use this amazing new clearly sentimental set, Thanks a bunch, I did up the inside, too. I think you'll start noticing a trend here. I'm really enjoying making the insides of my cards pretty. Plus it helps when trying to sell my hand-made cards. It's simple, but that's all it needs to be.
Take some time today and say "hey" to the new group of talent on board with the MFT crew. We're all super excited! Kim's got the big announcement up on her blog. Enjoy the day!
