MFT Teaser day 4!


Hi everyone and welcome to My Favorite Thing's Teaser day 4 of 5! We are a few little days away from this month's release and I've said it before and I'll say it again... what an AWESOME line up of products MFT has for this month's release! ♡

The MFT design team is back again today to share projects using 2 new stamp sets: Sunbathing Flopsey and Inspired By Flowers Set 2. In addition, some of these wonderful projects may be featuring the new Rainbow Die-namics, which is super fabulous and fun to work with! Today, I will be featuring all 3 products on my projects!

First up, I want to share my card using MFT's new Sunbathing Flopsey...


I used My Mind's Eye True Blue paper collection. I colored up Flopsey with my Copic markers and layered up the card using MFT's Berrylicious cardstock. The sentiment is stamped onto the smaller of the two banners available in the First Award Ribbon Die-namics set. I "dimensionalized" one banner and adhered it down to another, then added some Crystazzi bling. I cut the rainbow out using the new Rainbow Die-namics and added white clouds cut in MFT felt using the Flat-bottom Clouds Die-namics die. I popped on a sun using MFT's Sunshine Die-namics. You can't "bask in the sunshine" without the sun, right?!

On the inside, I used the scalloped circle and banner that comes with the First Award Ribbon Die-namics set, and the circle that comes with the Sweet Stack Die-namics set.

Next up is a card I created using the new Inspired by Spring Set 2 and Graphic 45 Le Romantique papers. I colored up the rose image using my Lindy Stamp Gang Starburst Stains and a paint brush... I love the subtle look the stains add to the image. I then layered the image on top of an Open Scallop Doily cut from MFT Fossil cardstock.


I alternated layers of die-cuts using the Simply Scallops Large Die-namics, then on the last layer I added a Double Scallop border. The sentiment is stamped on the larger of 2 banners available on the First Award Ribbon Die-namics set. The I Am Roses flowers are from my stash and the postage stamp is cut from the paper collection. The cream seam binding is hand-crinkled, then I added a Recollections bling to the center.

On the inside, I included a layer with lots of room for a handwritten message. I love the quote included in the Inspired by Flowers Set 2 set. I layered a Simply Scallops Large and Double Scallop Border at the base and added 3 Crystazzi blings for a final touch!
