MFT Teaser Time-Day 5

Happy Sunday! It's a là mode day here with the MFT DT. Only a few more days left until the big March Release!!!  Is your list getting long??? So many goodies, I know! We have more to share today with two more ALM's to add to the line up: It's Getting Deep, The Rainbow Will Come. 


I have a quick photo tutorial for my Rainbow card, so I'll kick things off today with my IT'S GETTING DEEP card. 

It's a pretty simple layout.  I accented the main ALM image with the new MINI MONARCH BORDER DIE-NAMICS.  I do love the tiny circle on this one. I added the sentiment to one of the MINI TABS FOURSOME DIE-NAMICS.  My Tim Holtz Tiny Attacher added some simple accent to help make it stand out. 

Here's a closer look. I added some Sukura Gel Pen to accent the metal end of the shovel. Oh, and that pretty ribbon....it's the some of the new MFT Grosgrain ribbon in Tangy Orange. Check out all the ribbon colors, HERE. 

Now how about my rainbow card? I really had so much fun making this one. I think this ALM-THE RAINBOWS WILL COME, is such a fantastic set. Not to mention, all the sentiment choices if you  also purchase the new UMBRELLA STAMP SET AND DIE-NAMICS??!!! 


I loved this sentiment, I used it on my card (stamped on a First Place Award Ribbon Die-namics) and decided to make my own rainbow. Quick and easy, thanks to a few fun products. 

Supplies needed: Scor-tape sheets, Rainbow Die-namics, and twine. 
Here's how I did the rainbow. 


1. Cover a piece of cardstock with Scor-tape sheets. Making sure the piece is large enough to cover the RAINBOW DIE-NAMICS. 

 2. Run through your die cut machine.

3. Here's the rainbow after it's cut. 

4. Add tape (I used Jody Boosters) to cover this side of the rainbow. This is normally the front of the rainbow, but in this case it will be the backside. Take care to make sure your Boosters connect all the pieces of the rainbow, so it will stay together in the finished project. 

5. Turn over the rainbow and begin to peel each strip, one layer at a time. Tip: if your cut marks do not go all the way through, you might have a harder time peeling. You can make this work,even if your backing comes off all in one piece. Just take extra caution when attaching your twine in the next step. 

 6. Add your twine one color at a time. Working in the rainbow order-ROY G BIV (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, Indigo, Violet). 

7. I decided NOT to use the full size of the Rainbow Die-namics, so I carefully removed the unused pieces. 

8. Turn the rainbow over and trim off the end pieces. 

9. Here's the finished twine Rainbow.

And here is a close up the rainbow in action on my card. I added some felt Cloud Die-namics pieces to the ends. 

Thanks for hanging with me today! See you back here tomorrow, same time same place!

MFT Day 4-Teaser Time

Woohoo! Today is another great day for some more MFT Teasers!!! Today we are show casing the the Die-namics /Stamp combo sets. This month we're releasing: 

Die-namics and Stamp Set - Umbrella, Behind the Camera

Oh, wow! These sets are soooo cool and so fun to work with. I'm still working on my Behind the Camera project, so I'll share that on Pep-Rally day. today I'm showing off the new Umbrella set and matching Die-namics.

It is sooooo fun to play with. I have been dying to use these papers. They are Echo Park from a Halloween pack.  I knew the fun colors and patterns in the clouds were perfect for a pretty UMBRELLA DIE-NAMICS.

I also added in one of the cool PHOTO CORNER DIE-NAMICS and a few FLAT BOTTOM CLOUDS.  A little twine and a button complete the details.

The senitments in this set are wonderful-large and long....filling lots of space. Love that!

I'll mention the cardstock I used, since you can now, again order this wonderfully, thick cardstock from MFT. I used Grapecicle, Black Licorice, and Blue Raspberry. If you haven't tried this stuff....pick up a pack or two. You can see all the new Card Stock choices HERE.

MFT Teasers-Day 3

chuggin' right along! I just love Teaser Days! It's busy, busy, but I love all the craftiness that I get to drool over. Today is no different. The MFT DT will be showing off samples for the following sets today: 

Clearly Sentimental about Pets, Big Greetings, Claire Keay - Funny Bunny

It's another wonderful line up! So let's jump right in. I've got a few to share!

Let's start with BIG GREETINGS!  It's the next Triple Scoop stamp set, that will be available for FREE with any $60 purchase. 

I ♥ this set of sentiments. They all play up the word BIG, and the font is so great! I used a total of three of the sentiments on my card-1 on the outside and combined two on the inside. 


I used more of the amazing new OVAL STAX DIE-NAMICS.  I have really fallen in love with these.  I've always been drawn more to circles than ovals, but now THIS has changed. The shape of these ovals is just perfect and when you add a matt (or two) behind the front layer, it just makes a nice, clean, finished focal point. 


My card is inspired by one I saw months ago by Lisa Johnson. I used the VERITCAL GREETINGS DIE-NAMICS to create this fun eye-catching element with the buttons and twine.  There is a strip of the MINI MONARCH BORDER along the bottom. 

Open the card up and you'll find more of the gorgeous papers by My Mind's Eye and another layered up duo of STAX OVAL DIE-NAMICS.  I also show off the pretty new PHOTO CORNERS DIE-NAMICS.  


I'm just diggin' all the BASICS MFT is releasing this month....serious MUST HAVES to your stamping arsenal.

Now let's move on to one of my FAVE, My Favorite Things artists, Clare Keay.  I just adore EVERYTHING she comes out with for MFT. This month's set, FUNNY BUNNY, is no exception. I fell in LOVE at FIRST sight.

I tried a new to me, Copic technique with this one. I have beed drooling over all the cards I see with this cool stippled look to animal/furry images.  I winged it and really like how it turned out. I created this look just by adding quick dots all along the edges of this cutie. Here are the marker colors I used.

I tried to add more to the outside of this card, more embellies, more Die-namics, and even a sentiment, but nothing felt right to me. 

 I LOVED the simple layers with just the new PHOTO CORNER DIE-NAMICS and the lovely new MFT Grosgrain ribbon. It ties like a dream!!!!!  This is the Kraft color. Seriously....SWOON!

I carried over the same layout to the inside, which was the perfect place for the sentiment.

It's stamped on a stack of the OVAL STAX DIE-NAMICS with a sweet little heart from HOMESPUN BIRDHOUSE DIE-NAMICS. Here's a closer look.

That's it from me for today. Thanks for stopping by.

Here's a closer look at the new Die-namics releasing this month.

TSG-Soothes my Soul

**please scroll down for MFT Teaser post**

I told you I re-kindled my lovefor There She Goes Stamps. Helps when you get some new stamps!
I played along with this week's TSG's Sketch challenge.

Stamp set is Perk Up!
Plus I got some new papers...these are by Authentique-Loyal.

I pieced up the mug, added that silly mustache face again and topped him with some whipped cream! A few Simply Scallops Die-namics and some piercing are the finishing touches!

MfT Day 2 Teasers

Welcome to March and welcome back to day 2 of the MFT March Teasers.  Wasn't yesterday's WTG-Puddle Jumper, just the cutest??!!  What about those peeks at some of the new Die-namics???  Do we have your attention???

Today is another fun filled day.  We've got samples for the following new sets:

 Inspired by Birds, Inspired by Butterflies, Flopsey Goes Camping.

What? Inspired by Butterflies, you might ask???? Yes, this is not a new set.... BUT there are now Die-namics to cut out those beautiful butterfly with ease! LOVE that.  So if you have the set, you NEED the dies, and if you don't have either.....make sure you pop this one in your cart on release night. The butterflies AND sentiments are gorgeous!

Here's my card. It's a tall and skinny one, measuring 6 x 3.75 inches. That new LARGE LEAFY FLOURISH is HUGE....it's awesome!

I actually used one fo the sentiments from INSPIRED BY BIRDS .  I stamped it on one of the new OVAL STAX.  what are the Stax you  wonder???

 We are so excited to introduce you to Die-namics STAX; our new series of nesting dies. With March brings the first in the series, Oval STAX, but know that this is only the beginning.

Oval STAX are designed to layer with our large Oval Doily Die-namics. Each set contains 7 pieces, and at a retail price point of $26.95, is VERY competitive with other nesting dies currently on the market. "

I layered it on top of one of one the OVAL OPEN SCALLOP DOILY DUOS.  I stamped a few pretty flourishes from Finishing Flourishes stamp set.  I needed them to fill a little of the "white space" on my oval Stax, and I thought it was a nice tie in with the GIANT, LARGE LEAFY FLOURISH DIE-NAMICS.

Now I'll move on to the gorgeous new INSPIRED BY BIRDS stamp set. I know you love the Inspired By line of stamps and this one does not disappoint, either! There are 3 wonderful bird inspired images and LOTS of beautiful sentiments to go along with it.

I stamped this flying bird image onto x-press blending  cs, and then colored it with copics.  I felt it was a bit bright for a bird, so I touched it up with some w-1 and w-3 markers.

I cut two more ovals from the OVAL STAX 1 AND 2 DIE-NAMICS and stamped this uplifting sentiment. The layout is Karen's Sweet Sunday sketch-I used an oval in place of the circle.

The cool thing about the Stax is that they all work together. The dies within each set give a wider edge when layered and if you want to have a smaller, narrow-er border when layering, then you can stack (Stax) them between each set. I ♥ that!

Here's a detail shot of the bird and the pretty black flourishes.
