MFT Teaser Day 1 - à La Mode

Hi everyone and welcome to day 1 of 2 MFT Teasers for the new à La Modes! In the next 2 days, the MFT design team will be featuring this month's 2 new à La Mode stamp sets: Dream Big and Grad Girl. These sets will be available for purchase on the MFT Boutique on April 19th along with this month's MFT VIP kit. So mark your calendars! Today, we are featuring Dream Big à La Mode.

First, let me give you the skinny on MFT's line of à La Mode stamps:

  • Each set is produced in the USA using the highest 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.
Now onto my card...



I started off with a card base using MFT's Sweet Tooth cardstock. Then I layered on designer paper by My Minds Eye, topped with a piece of vellum dry embossed with stars. I colored up the à La Mode gal with my Copic markers and cut her out with my circle Nesties. I then layered her on top of a Dizzy Doily. The turquoise lace rosette is from my stash, but I adhered a Rolled Rose cut MFT's felt in the center of the rosette. I really like how that came out! The sentiment is cut out using the Flat Bottom Clouds Die-namics.






Inside the card, I layered more of the design paper. Then I took the Dizzy Border and weaved some turquoise seam binding through it. The sentiment is cut out using the Framed Greetings Die-namics.

I'll be here tomorrow with another day of MFT Teasers. Thanks for stopping by today


hugs!!
