MFT Teasers Day 6!

Hi everyone! The MFT design team is here for another day of Teasers leading up to the new release, which is just around the corner on October 4th!

We are featuring the new line-up of Pure Innocence stamp sets: Girl and Baby, Boy and Baby, Pumpkin Patch Girl, Calendula, Have Hope and Precious Little Lamb - Where Flowers Bloom.

I created this cute Fall card using PI: Pumpkin Patch Girl. She is so adorable pulling her little wagon full of pumpkins! I colored her up with my Copic markers and paper pieced her outfit. The papers are from the Reflections collection by Prima.


I "framed" PI Pumpkin Patch Girl using the Postage Frame from the First Class Friend Die-Namics and stamp set. I stamped the sentiment on the new Oval Tab Die-namics and popped on some Recollections pearls from my stash.


Do you spy the new Rolled Gardenia flower? I love, love, love this new Die-Namics! I created this flower using 2 layers of the die-cut and added a pearl in the center. The 2 little rosebuds on either side of the Rolled Gardenia are from my stash. I die cut the new Vintage Flourish Die-Namics twice, then cut them in half and used them to accent the flower. 


Lastly, here is the inside of my card... I added another Postage Stamp border and recycled the inside of the First Class Friend postage frame Die-namics (from the front of my card) by layering the sentiment on it.

Altered Letter from Michael's dollar bin

Hi everyone! I have a fun project to share with you guys today. The week before last, I altered this letter for a scrappy friend and used a bunch of gorgeous I Am Roses flowers. I wanted to share this sooner, but it was a bit of a rough week for me last week... so I decided to share it for my I Am Roses project for today! If you follow the I Am Roses Design Team channel, you may have seen a brief sneak peek of this project on the new DT announcement vid. ☺

You can find these letters from the "dollar" bin at Michael's. As you might know, Michael's dollar bin doesn't necessarily mean everything in the bins cost a dollar (LOL)... I "think" I got this large letter for $2 or $3. ☺

I painted the base of the letter with acrylic paint, sprayed with Lindy Stamp Gang Scintillating Silver Glitze Spritz and layer on design paper by Prima from the Reflections collection.

Here are some pics to get you started:






I created a video tutorial showing you exactly how I altered this letter. Check out the video tutorial HEREBe sure to subscribe to the I Am Roses Design Team channel on YouTube for your daily dose of flower inspiration!

Dark Brown Rose Leaves (not in stock, but try these Brown Rose Leaves, and use your Lindy Stamp Gang spray in Dark Chocolate Truffle for a similar look!)


Thanks so much for dropping by today. Wishing you all an amazingly crafty week ahead!

MFT Teasers Day 4!

Hi everyone and welcome to day 4 of MFT Teasers! So how are ya doing with your shopping list so far? And what about all those amazing projects the Design Team has shared with you this week? What an awesome, awesome release MFT has lined up yet again!

Today the designers are showcasing project using the Bon Appétit stamp set and Contempo Cage Die-namics and stamp set.

I created my project using the new Contempo Cage Die-Namics and stamp set. Here's a peek:


Isn't the bird cage just adorable?! And the little bird with wing?! There are so many coordinating and "accenting" stamps in the set, the possibilities truly are endless!

The paper collection I used on my card is by Webster's Pages. I distressed the edges for a shabby chic feel to the card.  Here are some pics:


I cut the birdcage out in kraft cardstock, centered a Mini Rolled Rose on top of the cage and accented it with a few little white flowers from my stash. I "crinkled" my own seam binding (I use rubbing alcohol) and made a bow to adorn the top of my cage. Lined on the bottom of the cage is the Flower Border Die-Namics, accented with some Recollections pearls from my stash. I stamped the little bird from the stamp set underneath so he appears to be "in" the cage. I just LOVE the little bar he can stand on... too cute! You'll also see that I stamped some of the musical notes from the stamp set... my little bird loves to sing! :-)


Under the cage is the super fun Woodgrain fence (which by the way, is PERFECT for those Halloween projects you might be working on!)

I cut out the little bird in kraft card stock and I used one of the coordinating stamps to create the "lines" on his little wing. I used a little itty-bitty Recollections pearl for the bird's eye. The sentiment is stamped onto kraft cardstock cut out with my Mini Pennants Die-namics. I think layered them on top of the "ends" of the smaller banner from the First Place Award Ribbon Die-namics set.


Here's a side view of my card...


Inside the card, I layered more design paper ad Hot Fudge cardstock. I stamped the little bird in brown ink, then stamped his wing in green ink. I also included the rest of the woodgrain fence that I cut off from the front of the card (can't let those scraps go to waste, right?!) then I stamped another sentiment from the set onto the banners from the First Place Award Ribbon Die-Namics.




Here are the details about the upcoming release on October 4th at 10 PM EST:

Time to Celebrate!

Hi everyone! TGIF! Yippeee! I am so excited about the weekend being here. I haven't been feeling well and a few days to recuperate from a busy week is just what I needed. ☺

I'm here today with a project for Stamper's Dream. I recently added the Moments in Time clear stamp set by Flourishes to my collection and I am just in LOVE with it! I used the clock face, roman numerials and sentiment from the set on this semi-masculine card... and I say "semi" masculine because I added my favorite Kaisercraft paper bloomers (in Honey) to the card (if I added flowers to a card for my hubbs, he would not be too fond of it, LOL!) Under the bloomers, I gathered some black burlap string by May Arts. The papers are edged with Ranger Distress ink in Walnut Stain. The pearls are by Recollections and the brads and clock charm are from my stash. The paper collection is TimePiece by BoBunny.

Here are some pics:




I hope you like my project for today! Be sure to stop by the Stamper's Dream store. Michelle just got in some yummy new papers by BoBunny and Simple Stories and can we say Spellbinders?! Trust me, you don't want to miss out! ❤

Have a great weekend!

hugs! ❤

MFT Teasers Day 3!

Hi everyone, and welcome to another day of MFT Teasers!

Today the design team is featuring projects using the new Triple Scoop Set, Clearly Sentimental About Abundance and the previous Triple Scoop Set, Clearly Sentimental About Family.

My project today is a card using the new Triple Scoop Set, Clearly Sentimental About Abundance.


The paper collection I used is from My Minds Eye called Fall into Fall, an old stack from my stash. But it's an all time fav for me since I am just drawn to warm, neutral colors. ❤


First I cut out an oval using the large oval from the Layered Labels Die-Namics set, then I stamped a sentiment on it from the CS about Abundance set. I then cut out the new Oval Decorative Doily using Hot Fudge cardstock and used it to layer the sentiment. I then adorned it with a Recollections pearl  flourish.


The sheer brown ribbon is from the My Favorite Ribbon Brown collection. I added a Leafy Flourish behind to add a little something to balance out the card...



The vertical panel is trimmed with Simply Scallops die-cuts...


Here's an up-close look at the sentiment and the new Oval Decorative Doily. The large Oval from the Layered Labels Die-namics set fits perfectly, just showing the flexibility these dies have!





Inside the card, I used more Simply Scallops die-cuts to line the edge of the center panel, then added another Leafy Flourish (love these!)






Here are the details about the upcoming release on October 4th at 10 PM EST:
  • The MFT release is on October 4th  at 10 PM EST. You can attend the release party from 8-10 PM EST here in the forum for fun, games, and prizes! All the new sets and dies will be available October 4 at 10 PM EST.

MFT Teasers Day 2!

Hi everyone, and welcome to another day of MFT Teasers!

Today the design team is featuring projects using the new Inspired by Autumn and Fred Bear and the Megaphone stamp sets.

My project today is a card created using the new Inspired by Autumn stamp set.

I stamped the crate of apples using Momento Ink onto an Ivory MFT Panel. Then I colored it up with my Copic markers and cut it out using the Textile Rectangle Die-Namics. The paper collection I'm using is "Fall into Fall" which is an old My Minds Eye paper collection from my stash. 


I created a rosette with the designer paper with my 1/4" Rosette Die-Namics and layered it onto a Dainty Doily. I popped on an I Am Roses flower from my stash, added a bow created with seam binding, and stamped "Autumn" from the Inspired By set onto the Notched Tag. The leaves are from my I Am Roses stash and the fall "spray" is from Michael's.


Inside the card, I used the new Vintage Flourish Die-namics and placed a Recollections pearl bling in the center. I also stamped a sentiment from the Inspired by Autumn stamp set.



Here are the details about the upcoming release on October 4th at 10 PM EST:
